Hi
I can ask director through lingo to paste the content of the clipboard into a member 7 through lingo into a an external cast named "externalcast" by the following script to a button..
On MouseUp
(member (7, "externalcast").pasteClipBoardInto( )
end
But if I have a field named "membername" and the user filled this in, how can this become the name of the member 7 ? Is there a lingo way to paste a field content into the name of member?
Part two of my needs here is to ask
Is there a lingo way to paste the clipboard contents into :
1. a cast member not yet taken - a new blank spot in the cast window.
2.name that new member from the contents of a field.
Because for the user I would like to have a button that is called "NEW" which would enable the user to;
1. Move to the /create a 'next' frame of a director movie and be able to place the contents of the clipboard on that frame. ( Looking like the frame was "blank") So when the user clicked on a "paste" button the contents of the clip board would paste to a specific area and then they would be able to press the "NEW" button to do it again and again.
I am not sure how to ask this but I am looking to make a director movie that I could save as a projector which would enlarge
1. the number of frames, 2. the number of cast members. 3. the Names of those cast members.
And the user could scroll ( back and forth) through the movie to view what they had pasted in.
It would be similar to a database with only one record initially. A database with a layout where you would click for a new record and paste in a picture into a picture field and name it and do this again and again until you were finished but you might have 300 records. Is there a way to do this in director through lingo?
Thanks for your attention and your time in advance
