Help! I am totally stumped after 4 very long days of trying to figure this out! I thought I understood lists and very simple "databases"--just saving and opening a text file with fileIO. Well silly me!
I have a section of this CDRom I am working on that has to capture the text of a checkbox, add it to a linear list (gMark1), and then somehow, some way store it in my database (gDatabase) list at a particular property location. Before it gets stored as a property list in my gDatabase, I need to display the captured text as text (not a list with the quotes and brackets) in a field member. Well, I can get the linear list developed, I can display it as a list in the field member with all the brackets and quotes and commas, I can even get it into the gDatabase, but I can't figure out how to put the linear list at the exact property location in gDatabase and I can't figure out how to display the contents of the linear list without it being in list form (just the text). sigh. Have printed out every article from DOUG and Macromedia on linear and property lists, have read and reread Gary Rosenzweig's books Special Edition & his Advanced Lingo for Games, the Lingo Bible and Director Demystified, and I'm as clueless as ever! This has now become a war between Director and I! Can what I'm trying be done? if so, how do I go about doing it? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
