Hey Evan, Buyer Beware!!!
I think Ldms are the greatest thing since sliced bread. Even wrote an article describing them http://www.director-online.com/accessArticle.cfm?id=439 BUT there are pitfalls. And embedding code inside filmloops is even trickier. (see my earlier post to Ian where behaviours inside of filmloops have to be able to know there host sprite just to tell there own sprite to change properties...it works but what a pain) Macromedia needs to do a lot of work for LDMs or filmloops to become as easy to use as movie clips are in flash. Many people have been asking for this and hopefully the day will come. In the meantime play with have fun and make sure you understand their limitations before incorporating them into any projects with tight deadlines. later, Rob Evan Adelman wrote: > Thanks James & Ian - this is great! no more running out of channels ~ > > Whoot! > -E > > >From: James Newton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Subject: <lingo-l> Tell sprite (was: Clipping a bitmap) > >Date: Thu, 08 Nov 2001 23:17:39 +0000 > > > >Evan Adelman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I think Ian is asking if you can talk to an individual > > > sprite *w/in* a film loop.
