Re: lingo-l filmloop + script?

2005-01-10 Thread Cole Tierney
This sounds like a simple question, but I can't think of a way 
around this. I have an animation of a bird that follows a curved 
path. I want to put it into a single frame, so the normal way to do 
this would be to use a film loop. However, I am using a script on 
the bird to make it flap it's wings (membernum = membernum + 1). If 
I make a film loop out of it, the script won't work. Is there any 
way to retain the curved path animation AND the script, all in ONE 
frame?
Maybe you could make a filmloop of a filmloop. One for the bird 
flapping it's wings and another to make it follow the curved path. 
Then you wouldn't need the script.

RE: lingo-l Cast member visuals

2005-01-21 Thread Cole Tierney
On a PC, select the cast member. THen select the thumbnail image of the
of member in the Property Inspector. Right click on the thumbnail and
you can copy/paste thumbnails.
Same works on a Mac. Control-click if you don't have two mouse buttons.
You can also use lingo to automate the process after designing your 
custom thumbnail. Might make nice miaw utility:
(member n).thumbnail = (member some bitmap).picture

If you use the .load method it doesn't block so you have to use the callback. 

Instead, load the XML file into a text string then just parse if with

I like Dave Miller's suggestion posted on direct-l:
Can you use a bit of recursion driven by an argument to select the call?
on init n

Re: lingo-l Project with video, Flash or Director?

2005-03-25 Thread Cole Tierney
I have settled on using QuickTime exclusively 
for even Windows-only projects.  It is reliable 
across many different Windows configurations 
...much better than Windows Media.  In the past, 
I've downloaded the full install for Windows and 
included it on the CD-ROM.  My stub projector 
looks for the QuickTime version and, if not 
present or current enough, it offers to launch 
the QuickTime installer for them.
rantI really like QuickTime but am moving away 
from it because of the strict licensing policies. 
Every so often they declare that a version may no 
longer be distributed. You get about a 6 month 
window to use up your stock, then you must 
remaster with the latest installers. Then they're 
always fiddling with their logo which renders our 
printed materials obsolete.

For awhile I would always include the latest 
QuickTime installers even if it wasn't required 
so I could use QT3mix on problematic machines. 
Then the word from down from Apple that we 
couldn't do this because the product did not 
really _require_ QuickTime®. Now I have to 
remaster those CDs as we run out./rant

I'm becoming very interested in using FLV.

Re: lingo-l Project with video, Flash or Director?

2005-03-25 Thread Cole Tierney
I think it's always the case that you're only really licensed to 
include the most recent installer, but I can't believe that part of 
the license requires that you retrieve existing stock when there's a 
new installer released. I also don't think that Apple ask to see 
your order books, and that you could press a second run of some CDs 
without having to tell them about it.
It does sound unreasonable, but here's the licensing agreement from 
Apple if you happen to be _really_ bored (all 19 pages!). Page 4 has 
the 2 sections that rub me the wrong way: 
http://developer.apple.com/softwarelicensing/agreements/pdf/qt6freehwsda.pdf

Section 2.4, Provision of Samples
(This were they require that you submit two complete units so they 
can inspect the software and packaging, like the old MWM 
requirements. This isn't so bad. But read on...)

Section 2.5, New Versions of QuickTime Software (Skip this if 
legalese makes you queasy!)
... In the event that Apple makes a new version of the Apple 
Software available separately under different terms and conditions, 
upon written request from Apple, Licensee agrees that, within six (6) 
months of receipt of such request, Licesee will cease distribution of 
prior versions of QuickTime Software with Licesee Products and will 
upgrade its products to include the newly released QuickTime 
Software.

Here the hitch: since we always provide our 2 sample units, they know 
what we're shipping. Our office manager has shown me these written 
requests. Now I understand why they'd want to control what gets 
distributed, I just find it annoying to have to keep revisiting old 
material. I'm now inclined to just give the user a link to apple's 
website, rather than remastering old cds that use QuickTime.

Hi Cole,

If a projector is run from a locked disk, setPref creates a temporory file
which getPref can use for the duration of the session.  The temporary file
is deleted when the projector quits.

My experience of this is prior to Windows XP, so it would be worth
double-checking.


Thanks James. That was sort of what I was hoping. It would be _great_ 
if the data would persist between sessions. Time to test!

lingo-l hiding some globals from clearglobals

2005-06-16 Thread Cole Tierney

Hi,

I'm working on a project that needs to go movie some 
existing_movie. The problem is that this existing_movie calls 
clearglobals a couple times and tromps on my global space. I could 
get access to existing_movie and toss a reference to 
gMySpecialPlist into a temp variable and restore it after 
clearglobals. But ideally, I'd like a solution that does not touch 
the code in existing_movie.


I think the timeOutList might be a safe place (I don't think that 
gets zapped). I was also considering an off screen MIAW to hold some 
of my props in static movie script, but I think a timeout object 
would be cleaner.


Has anyone tried anything similar?

I'm finding that out right now. Nothing seems to make the old code

  the scriptExecutionStyle = 9
  windowObj.windowType = 49

still causes a property not found script error, choking on 
windowType although the objectWatcher shows that the 
scriptExecutionStyle does indeed equal 9.


Try setting the SES in the message window instead in your code. It'll 
stick when the movie is saved. Shouldn't matter, but who knows. I

lingo-l no keyDown when commandDown? - MacOSX

2005-08-15 Thread Cole Tierney

Hi,

I've got an MX 2004 (10.1) projector that will not register keyDown 
events while the command key is pressed. This is unfortunate, since 
I've set exitLock = TRUE and would like to detect command - Q for 
quit on the mac.


I've seen this behavior in earlier versions of director for mac when 
a custom menu was installed. My workaround then was to add command 
key combinations to my system menubar and react to them there, but 
I'm not using a menubar this time.


Has anyone else noticed this?

The keydown doesn't fire while the command key is pressed, at least

Re: lingo-l no keyDown when commandDown? - MacOSX

The keydown doesn't fire while the command key is pressed, at least

on keyDown

beep

To hear the beep you need to remove the commandDown check.


A clearer demo is to try:

on keyDown
  beep
end

Then try holding down the command key while pressing other keys. 
Release the command key while still pressing other keys and you 
should hear the beep.

Thanks, I use to do something similar. But now it seems not possible 
to detect command - 'q' when the exitLock = TRUE. Give it a try in 
version version D10.1 mac. I think you'll find that your solution no 
longer works.

If you don't actually pause the movie, then you should be able to use 
sound(1).pause() and sound(1).play() to continue playing audio at the 
point where it was paused. Depending on the situation, you may be 
able to just hold on the current frame if in a paused state.

When you protect a dir/cst, the external scripts are no longer referenced.


What I'm getting at is using external scripts exclusively and leaving

lingo-l #dialog miaw not returning focus to stage

2006-01-11 Thread Cole Tierney
When I forget a #dialog miaw on windows, focus is not returned to the 
stage. Pressing keys produces sysbeeps and the keydown script of my 
stage does not fire. If I click on the stage, it regains focus and 
all is well. If I switch to type #document, the problem goes away. 
This is in a D10.1r11 windows projector. Reproduced on XP and Win98.


I've tried various combinations of moveToFront and moveToBack, with no effect.

Has anyone else noticed this and/or has a workaround?

Thanks for any help!

I didn't think of changing the type on the fly. I'll give that a try.


Good thought, but it didn't have any effect. So far the only way I 
can refocus the stage is to use BudAPI (in windows):


baActivateWindow(baWinHandle())
(the stage).moveToFront()


I only suggested changing .type because you suggested it was 
involved in the issue


oh well ...


Hey, I'll try anything! But what I find more troublesome is that the 
stage loses focus when clicking in the border of a windows full 
screen projector.

It's not very obvious. You'll find them inside director's own bundle:
/Director MX 2004.app/Contents/MacOS/

While authoring you could just plop them on the stage and use 
Director's export function from the file menu. Of course this is no 
help if you need to do this during runtime.
