Hi
I use baSetDisplayEx in a stub projector heaps on all Windows platforms
Here is a typical script converting to 640x480 and 16 bit colour but it will
work with any resolution except you would need to be careful that with
Windows NT, 2000 you only used the refresh rate if you were changing from a
higher resolution - or you might damage their monitor.
With the stub projector movie I set the background colour to black.
I think you need to do this in a stub projector or you can run into trouble.
It works fine with Windows 95, 98, ME.
on exitFrame
global oldRes, oldDepth
set the centerStage = TRUE
wd = baScreenInfo( "width" )
ht = baScreenInfo( "height" )
refrsh = baScreenInfo( "refresh" )
depth = baScreenInfo( "depth" )
oldDepth = depth
if wd > 640 OR ht > 480 then
if depth < 16 then depth = 16
oldRes = [wd, ht]
x = baSetDisplayEx( 640 , 480 , depth , refrsh, "temp" , false )
updateStage
else
oldRes = [640,480]
if depth < 16 then
depth = 16
x = baSetDisplayEx( 640 , 480 , depth , refrsh, "temp" , false )
updateStage
end if
end if
depth = baScreenInfo( "depth" )
if depth < 16 then
alert "The color depth is less than 16 bit and could not be reset
automatically. You will need to�
change the color depth to at least 16 bit and restart StoryMaker."
go to "fail"
exit
else
go to movie "sentences"
exit
end if
end
Hope this helps

to change resolution of Windows 98, ME. The movie was set at 800x600. The
screen turn black after above code been executed. Anyone experience this. It
works fine on Windows 2000.
