lingo-l shockwave3d texture problems

2004-09-16 Thread Lutz Paelike
Hi,
i have some problems with the shockwave3d exporter for Maya.
The problem is that the texture coordinates (uvs) for the model i want to export are sometimes messed up and therefore 
the texture tiling in Director is completely different to the maya viewport *and* different  to the shockwave3d preview 
window. The maya viewport and the preview window look correct but as soon as i import the w3d file into director it 
looks terrible.

The uv coordinates of the models are intentionally not in the 0..1 space but beyond because the Director documentation 
says this is the proper way to control texture tiling.

This really drives me crazy. There doesn't seem to be a logic in it. Occasionally it works but most times it doesn't.
I don't know if it is Maya (the exporter) or Director that does not work properly. From my experience it is most likely 
Director because i experience new bugs every day ...

Software is Maya 6.0 and Director MX 2004
Does anybody have experience with these kind of problems?
Thanks a lot.
Lutz

lingo-l Announcing Director/Shockwave Player 10.1 Update Release

2004-09-16 Thread Thomas Higgins
Developers,
Today Macromedia announces a comprehensive update to both Macromedia
Director and the Shockwave Player. This update includes a wide variety of
changes to both the authoring environment and the player, including but not
limited to:


- dozens of bug fixes across the product, including the documentation

- the ability to create projectors for the Classic Macintosh operating
  systems from Windows

- a new, slim Shockwave Player installer resulting in a download
  size nearly 2MB smaller than before, this includes changes to the
  Shockwave Player's Xtras auto-downloading mechanism to ensure that
  existing content continues to function correctly

  Note: we are also providing full installers (these contain all 
Xtras)in both executable form and in CAB file form (for 
ActiveX auto-installs)

- reduced number of dialogs during the Shockwave Player installation
  process for all Windows users and a redesigned installation 
  completion movie


As of today, September 16th, we are only providing updated installers for
Macromedia Director (in all languages). Within the next week, the Shockwave
Player installers available from the Player Download Center and as part of
the free-licensing program for distributing on fixed-media or in corporate
intranet environments, will be updated to this latest release.


For more information about this release and to download the updated Director
installer please visit the following URL:

For more information about the bugs that have been fixed in this update
release please view the following Tech Note:

For information specific to the documentation bugs that have been fixed
please view the following Tech Note:
http://www.macromedia.com/go/19563


In addition we will soon be posting more information about how the changes
to the default set of Xtras in Shockwave will affect developers (they
don't!) and information about how developers can direct users to the
full-install experience if desired. Please look for these in the coming days
in the Director Support Center at
http://www.macromedia.com/support/director.


Thanks,
The Director Team

lingo-l Memory Inspector

2004-09-16 Thread John Waller
Hi,
I'm using Dir MX (not 2004) with MacOS 10.3.4.
I went to use the Memory Inspector and could not find it. I looked up 
the manual and it says it should be under Window/Memory Inspector. The 
Help says the same but it is not there. And I cannot see it anywhere else.

Does anyone have any ideas.
Thanks in advance,
John

There is no memory inspector on Mac. The way OSX manages memory... 
apparently Director wouldn't be able to tell what was actually going 
on. That feature became Windows-only with DMX.
