Re: lingo-l Digital video control buttons
Sometimes the Video flickers at the start or, even worse, leaves behind a *ghost* image of itself when navigating your score; in these cases setting the visibility does not help at all. So, as a normal development technique a lot of developer use the *move the sprite* technique. As the the setting the flag stuff, I have included the *if..then* example, try it and it should work but you may want to have a look in the help pages for : global variables, and the case statement. Cheers JohnT mirianam wrote: Hi John Thanks for your help. The changing sprite position works well for me. It cerainly makes sense to me.

Re: lingo-l Digital video control buttons
Hi Mirianam I am not sure that I understend what you want to do with your contrl button but here are some suggestions. mirianam wrote: Thank you for your response. Yes I had figured out that the script had to be attached to the sprites and not the casts. This is what I did: on mouseDown set the visibility of sprite 31 to 1 end Rather than setting the visibility on and off you should consider moving the sprite in and out of the stage area: on mouseDown me set the locH os sprite 31 = here you specify the locH you want set the movieRate of sprite 6 = 1 end Setting the visibility can cause problems. on mouseUp set the movieRate of sprite 6 to 1 end on mouseEnter me set the member of sprite the currentSpriteNum to member pause all end on mouseLeave me set the member of sprite the currentSpriteNum to member pause end and for play I did the opposite ie visibility 0 and movierate 0. I had set visibility of sprite 31 to 0 in moviescript - on startmovie. on mouseUp me set the movie rate of sprite 6 = 0 set the locH of sprite 31 = - 1000 end Now the rollovers seem to work. Is there anything wrong with doing it like this? Now I want to make fastforward and fastreverse buttons but I would like to make onMousedown set the movierate to 2 but on mouseUp either 0 or 1 depending on whether the video was playing or paused when the button is clicked so that it doesn't get out of sync with the play/pause button. I have no idea how to go about doing this. I'm guessing that it's some kind of if then script but what? Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks You have to set a flag that checks if the video is palying or not, add this line to your *on startMovie* script: set myflag = 0 Then on your sprite script: on mouseDown me global myflag set the locH os sprite 31 = here you specify the locH you want if myflag = 0 then set the movieRate of sprite 6 = 1 myflag = 1 else set the movieRate of sprite 6 = 2 end if end on mouseUp me gloabl myflag if the movieRate of sprite 6 = 1 then set the movieRate of sprite 6 = 0 myflag = 0 if the movieRate of sprite 6 = 2 then set the movieRate of sprite 6 = 1 if the movieRate of sprite 6 = 0 then set the movieRate of sprite 6 = -1 end if end if end if end A better way would be to use a case statement: on mouseUp me checkMyFlag end on checkMyFlag global myflag case of (the movieRate) true 2: then set the movieRate of sprite 6 = 1 0: then set the movieRate of sprite 6 = -1 1: then set the movieRate of sprite 6 = 0 set myflag = 0 end case end I am sure that there are more elegant ways of doing it but this should put you on the right track.

Re: lingo-l Digital video control buttons
Attach your scripts to the sprite (not the cast members) and your problems will, most likely, disappear. As you change the *cast member* with your rollover script, only part of your script will execute . You could hard code use a script like this: (untested) on exitFrame if rollover (6) then if the member of sprite (6) = use a place holder here then set the member of sprite 6 = your video file name else set the member of sprite 6 = use your place holder here end if end if end And on your palce holder sprite (in this case 6) attach your mouse up/Down scripts HTH JohnT mirianam wrote: This is what I've done so far: As I've 30 QTs I've attached the following scripts to the cast member (not sprite) For pause cast member: on mouseDown set the member of sprite the currentSpriteNum to member play end on mouseUp set the movieratre of sprite 6 to 1 end And for play cast member I've reversed them. This works fine and the digital video plays and stops with the icon changing appropriately but I can't seem to get any rollovers to work without mucking something up, either the rollover doesn't roll back on mouseLeave but mosttl any rollovger script seems to make my original cast scripts stop working. This is whether I attach rollover script to cast script or sprite script. What am I doing wrong! What i would like to happen is this: The pause icon to rollover to playroll and back to pause and for play icon to rollover to pauseroll and back to play Any sugestions to get me onto the right track?

Re: lingo-l playing multiple movies in a predefined order.
All you need is to make a stub projector (documentation at macromedia.com) Place all of your movies in the same folder as your projector. For the navigation between movies, one way is to hard code the buttons in each movie to take you to the previous or next movie. A more elegant way would be using a global list, unfortunately I cannot help you with that (my lingo is not up to it yet) but some one else from the list will be able to help you.

Re: lingo-l Can I program a MIAW to control the cursor?
A possible alternative is to use Snapz Pro 2.0.1 to capture excatly what you describe and save it as QT. You talking head MIAW could then just 'open' this QT when required to show the user how it is done. JohnT Gene Fritzinger wrote: Hi Folks, I've created a simulated version of a complex software package for use in a CBT. There are many MIAWs and field members, drop-down menus, radio buttons, check boxes, etc. This simulated software version will be used for tutorials where we will instruct the user how to perform different functions as well as involved exercises. My idea is to monitor their progress with a moveable talking head MIAW. This MIAW will try to guide the user through the exercises. But if the user gets stuck, I'd like the talking head MIAW to take control and actually do that part of the exercise for them. Since there so many menu items, radio buttons, etc. , it seems the easiest way for the MIAW to take control would be to be able to control the cursor. Move it across the screen, click on a menu item, click in a field to activate it, then enter text, push buttons, all the things an instructor would do, if needed by a user that just wasn't getting it. So my question is, can a MIAW control the c! ur! sor to this extent? I'm afaid the answer is NO, please let me know your thoughts.

Re: lingo-l Sound off help
Now I think I've got it! Your post was a bit confusing. May I suggest , next time, you start with explaining what you want to acheive and then what you need help with. If you just want to play certain sounds on mouse events (mouseUp/ Down, etc.) then you don't need a toggle button but a command that palys a specific sound on any 'user defined' event. Example: on mouseEnter me puppestSound 1, Tra-La-La-- Tra-La-La is the name of the sound file in your cast. end on mouseLeave me puppestSound 2, Oh my Dear end on mouseDown me puppestSound 1, Why me? end on mouseUp me puppestSound 2, Rhapsody in Blue end Use short sounds for these effects or you' end up demending too much of director. Also make sure that the sound files are not set to Loop in the cast property dialaogue panel. Is this helpful?

Re: lingo-l Object VR
Very quickly as an intro.. 35mm cameras are just fine but hand holding them is not the best technology to use. In creating an ObjectVR you have to *rotate* the object on its axis and take a number of exposures at equal increments from the same angle and position. For small object this is not a great problem, provided you have a tripod for your camera (which you can use in horizontal or vertical position) and a platform upon whose very centre you can rest your object and you can rotate in equal steps with a good degree of accuracy. Be aware though, your object will jump position if it is not placed exactly on the very centre of rotation due to the parallax effect. Take as many photographs as you think proper allowing at least 50% overlap for proper stitching; usually 24 if you use the camera horizontally and 36 if you use it vertically. Applying this to a full size car will represent somewhat of a challenge but only as far as the construction of the rotating platform, everything else remaining the same. It sounds more complicated than it really is; doing a search for QuickTimeVR will return many useful sites where to gain more detailed info. HTH JohnT dimple uppal wrote: Hi!

hi all,
another shcockwave question:
i am playing back shockwave audio files from within a shockwave movie. the swa files
are placed in the same folder as the shockwave movie itself. i am streaming the first
5 seconds of each of the 5 tracks into a buffer [e.g.: member("03 Demon
Speed").preLoadBuffer()]. this only seems to work fine on the pcs of our studio, but
produces a state 9 (error) on a mac.
is there any mac specific code that needs to be added, or is this a bug of some kind?
cheers

Off the (very) top of my head! Could something like this work? Make a 'blend' from 0 to 100 of the background and put it in a loop.

Re: lingo-l Keyboard Questions
ie. your first Q. in a movie script put this: on prepareMovie set the exilLock = True end Then on a keyDown script you can process the events (key pressed) by issueing a stopEvent command Example follows: on KeyDown if charToNum (the key) = 27 ---line continues or (the platform starts "Windows" and the optionDown line continues and the keyCode = 118) then stopEvent if the commandDown then ---prevent Cmd/Ctrl-Q and Cmd/Ctrl-. from quitting if (the key = "Q" or the key = ".") then stopEvent end if else pass end if else pass end if end keyDown I never tried but I am sure you can trap as many keys as you want with this procedure.

Re: lingo-l Re: colors RGB mixing

John Mats Leidö wrote: I sent the mail below the lines to lingo-l the 24th of october. I haven´t had any replys so far but as I solved the problem described below I would like to share it, in case anyone out there has the same problem or a related one. The solution can be viewed at http://marvin.mm.se/shocked/ For those of you not familiar with swedish, just click on the arrow in the top of the shockwave-movie and you will step through the learning shell from beginning to end. The other buttons are just for navigating directly to the same stations. My problem was I needed to mix RGB and CMYK colors interactively, for images and "color blobs". I ended up with using the setalpha() function together with "Add pin" and "Subtract pin" inks for the images, where I divided both the CMYK and the RGB images´ channels into separate documents. The setalpha() function makes it possible for me to change the opacity between the image sprites in a much more reliable way than using "blend". The other "trick" was finding an ink mode that worked just like the "Screen" and the "multiply" layer blending modes in Photoshop. The closest ones I could find were "Add/pin" and "Subtract pin" respectively. Questions or comments? Just mail me. -- I am trying to make color blending between three sprites, lying on top of each other, and a black background sprite( or black stage background) work. The sprites are respectively the red, green and blue channels from an RGB image. I am trying to find a way of blending each sprite so the three mixed together result in an RGB image like the original image with all three channels in one. (Hope I make myself understood here). To make a long story short: I can´t use an ink mode like "add" because it only works when I have 100% blend, if I change the sprite blend (and this is what I want to be able to do interactively later) the mixing falls apart. The only way I can see now is to use a 32-bit image with alpha channel (or using another cast member as a mask). I tried importing with the same image with different alphachannels, and the blending seems to work on stage. If I could extract the built-in alpha channel, change its color and tell Director to use the new mask instead with Lingo, I would be on my way to interactivity. Does anyone know how to do this? I tried changing the color property of a cast member but I only get "property not found". It seems to work for sprites though...??? I use rgb(x,x,x,) as the description of the color.

Re: lingo-l re-quicktime framerate
Hi Jean-Louis, I was afraid you would have a good reason for wanting the frameRate.

Re: lingo-l quicktime framerate
Hallo Jean-Louis, If you use Quicktime Player to get Info you must select *Video Track * (by default it is set to movie) from your options (left hand dropDown menu) and then you can select FrameRate from the right hand dropDown menu.

Re: lingo-l Re: alpha in quicktime?
Or you can re-render the animation against a white background. An other way is to export your QT as a Pict Sequence, (you can do this in QuickTime4-Pro or After Effects) and change the background to white in Photoshop and then re-compile the pict Sequence as a QT Movie. All in all, if it is only a spinning globe, the re-render in Infini-D seems the easiest (and quickest) solution.

Re: lingo-l sound loop
Hi Pua First of all you should put your sound file cast member in a separate, shared CastLib (this will be linked to all the movies in your project). Make sure that the sound file is set to *loop* in the cast member property box. Then put this movie in the movie that you want to initialize the sound on startMovie --if you need to set the volume of sound 1 to anywhere between 0 (mute) to 255, do it here. puppetsound 1 "put the name of the sound file castmember" -- end startMovie This sound will play continuously and can only be controlled by Lingo. Sounds played from QT video members will play as well as any sound placed in the sound channel 2. Asking projectors to deal with multiple sounds is asking for trouble though, be warned. Remember that your *physical* channel 1 is now puppeted and you cannot use it in the score with other sounds in the usual fashion; for this you now only have *physical* channel 2. Of course you can call up to 8 (I think that is the limit) on a Mac but you may incur into problems on Windows machines if you do.
