lingo-l External Shockwave Files
I have concerns about using external files with my Shockwave movies. 1) If I have a Shockwave game that uses an external shockwave audio sound file to play music within my game, what happens when that game is saved from the web page to a local hard-drive? The movie will then surely generate errors if the external file is not to be found (assuming the file was referenced as a relative link). Is the only solution with regard to downloading Shockwave movies with external files to just embed the files into the movie? Or are external files detected and downloaded together with the movie? 2) This problem will also arise when external text files are used to store game settings/hi-score lists etc. Does anyone have any answers? 3) On that note, is there a Lingo command that will detect if certain external files are present or not? That's one way to avoid unwanted error messages I guess. Drekinn It's not a bug, it's a random feature.

goToNetPage(mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED];) will bring up the user's default email program. You can probably use that syntax to put a subject and body in to the email as well but then the user is responsible for hitting the send button. I think you're better bet is to write a CGI script that uses your server's sendmail program and have the Shockwave movie call that with the desired parameters (the email address, scores, etc.) I've never actually done this, but I should think it can be done. --- Tom Hines [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, Is there a Net Lingo command that will allow you to send e-mail?

Re: lingo-l External Shockwave Files
3) On that note, is there a Lingo command that will detect if certain external files are present or not? That's one way to avoid unwanted error messages I guess. There are with projectors, but assuming you mean in shockwave, what happens if you set the filename of a member to a URL, and then check the filename of the member? If it does show the URL (of a file that doesn't exist), what does the duration show as? I'm just thinking that if the file is not there, perhaps the filename won't stick, or there will be something obviously wrong, like the duration being zero.

Re: lingo-l WAV or AIF
What's better to use WAV or AIF files. Because now I'm using the IAF files and I notice that on a PC gaps appearing when it changes from marker or from dir file. I was wondering if i change them to WAV files it would be better. The decision for which type of file to use depends on: * cross platform compatibility * Xtras or plug-ins required * Type of capture card * Type of editing software * File conversion capibility If you are not sure what platform you are developing for, perhaps it would be better to go for a file format which may be used on more than one operating system or is supported by the computers that will be playing your movies such as AIFF. For the record, Director supports the following digital sound files: AIFF (for cross-platform use) WAV (windows only) MP3 System 7 Sound (Mac only) Quicktime (sound-only movies) Video for Windows (sound-only movies) MIDI Shockwave Audio What sample rate were you using? 22.05kHz should be enough because of file size limitation. Also, if play back is jerky, this could be due to both the size and file type you were using. Internal sound files tend to play back better if kept short. Long internal audio files have a hard time playing back smoothly because the entire file is loaded into RAM before it can begin to play, so Director handles the play back of larger files better externally. What type of file you ultimately choose depends on your requirements. For example .wav files are small, internal sound files. If they are music files, Quicktime or MP3 would be better, for they are external files. Hope this helps.

lingo-l RE: ALPHAMANIA substitute and a clear description of what I need it
I've got a couple of suggestions for ya... Instead of letting director handle the scaling, rotating, etc. of the imported images, you could use imaging lingo to do it. I'm not sure if imaging lingo gives you access to the alpha channel, but it would make sense that it would. Another alternative is to use the imported images as texture maps and do your rotating, scaling, etc. in 3d. With the new anti-alias option in 3d, this should give the result you want. You did mention that the images would be running on top of a video feed, so 3d may not work for you, although you could try importing the video feed as individual frames and use an animating backdrop for the video. This would require a fair bit of horse-power, but it's possible that it could work.

1. Put the replaceable(s) in external cast(s).
2. member(whatever).scriptText = {the contents you want to switch}

selecting something via FileIO or what have you.

Kerry, I don't think so. Otherwise why would it work (same code exactly) in 7.2 and not 8.5, except under windows xp? Really confusing. Justin Allen I am having a problem where under Director 8.5 and Buddy API, I have a behavior, which I've used on more than one project using Director 7.02, which goes out and opens a file in a destination relative to the projector. In 8.5 this behavior works great under windows xp, but not under windows 98, or windows 2000 off the CD. If I copy the files to the hard drive, it works fine on all systems. Just a guess, but is it possibly a path length issue? It doesn't really sound like it, but I've been dealing with that a lot lately. I usually use Buddy to confirm the existence of the file, then open it with fileIO, and Buddy will return false if the path name is too long, even if the file is there. I don't remember what the exact length is--it's different on Windows and Mac, I believe, but it's around 100 characters.

RE: lingo-l Buddy API
I am having a problem where under Director 8.5 and Buddy API, I have a behavior, which I've used on more than one project using Director 7.02, which goes out and opens a file in a destination relative to the projector. It returns a file not found reply. So how are you building this relative path? Relative to 'the applicationPath', from what you say. Could you alert yourself with the path before the open operation just so you can manually confirm it? You know that the '@' pathName operator doesn't fly with (most?) 3rd party xtras. HTH, -Sean.

Re: lingo-l Flash loadMovie in Director 7.0.2
It works the same way that the Flash player and browser plugin work. A version 3 player, for example, can open a flash file of a later version, but it will only execute the actionScript that it understands and ignore the rest. As for Director, I assume that 7.0.2 updated the Flash Assets from 7.0 to support Flash 4 (so theoretically it should support Flash 4 actionScripts).

RE: lingo-l Buddy API
This code was purchased when I bought my buddy API application. It was an add-on offered. Specifically, it is the open PDF file AND the open any file behavior. Should I assume from this that you're not confident about modifying these behaviors to include an alert line so you can see the filePath you're trying to open? Somewhere in your behavior you'll (probably) find a line that contains baOpenFile(filePath, state) OR baRunProgram(...) (NB: the local variable 'filePath' may be named differently, substitute as necessary) Before this line add these: if (the shiftDown) then alert filePath end if Run your program, hold down the shift key and click the button that opens the file and you SHOULD get an alert box telling you the path to the file you're trying to open. Make sure the named file exists at that path. Obviously it doesn't exist, It returns a file not found reply. but if you can see what it's *trying* to open you can figure out how to correct it.

Re: lingo-l a simple list question!
I believe that when you assign a list to variable X, that X is a reference (or pointer) to the original list. (Unlike other situations like a number or a string where a copy of the value is stored in X.) When you change something via the reference, the original is changed as well. Lingo probably does this because lists can potentially be big and you may inadvertantly take up alot of memory by making lots of copies of it. To get what you want done, make X be a copy of the list by using duplicate. - Original Message - From: Changhsu P.

Re: lingo-l modifier keys
Hai.. I hope this will be helpful to you to solve your problem. write the script in this way... if the ControlDown then case (the key) of a: statement b: statement . . . end case end if Rani On Thu, 21 Feb 2002 Craig Taylor wrote : Hello everyone, i'm working on a program where there are about 15 shortcut keys available to the user - all are a combination of the Ctrl key + an alphanumeric key. Currently I have placed a similar piece of code in the movie script: on keyDown controlKeyDown = the controlDown if controlKeyDown and (the key = a) then statement else if controlKeyDown and (the key = b) then statement etc end if end if end Is there a less verbose way of doing this. I have tried a couple of different case structures, but if its possible, I must have the syntax wrong. Also, I tried an earlier message that I am not sure went through. Some time ago, I requested assistance with a system menu problem. It was recommended that I try the OSControl Xtra. Did just what I needed - many thanks for the advice. Thank you also for any thoughts on the previously mentioned. Cheers, --Craig Craig Taylor Renegade Digital Media Inc. Craig Taylor Renegade Digital Media Inc.

lingo-l refreshing image info in ext. cast
I have external casts with bitmap members, all linked to tif files. I've edited a bunch of tif files to change their dimensions. When I play the movie, the images are displayed in their new dimensions, and the property inspector shows correctly the new dimensions of all images. But this: put member(i, Images). rect continues to show the old dimensions for all edited images. The only explanation I can think of is that the older dimensions were stored in the cst file and have not been refreshed after the images were resized. Doing this: member(i, Images). filename = D:\Images\FileName.tif does cause the sizing info to be refreshed correctly for the image--but looping with Lingo through all images in all casts is a nuisance, and seems like a crude force way of doing it. I can't help thinking there should be a smarter way to tell the cast to refresh its info. Save and Compact the cast doesn't do it. Is there a smarter way?
