Re: Ipix problem.....
That Xtra has been discontinued. Anyway, there' the possibility to use the QT one, after a lil' chain of export ipix/import QT/saveAsCubic etc. I worked to a project containing ipix source (don't remember if it was modified in some way, i hve to ask for details), and we solved it in this way, as the Xtra is not avaliable anymore. If this could help you in any way, i can ask to the graphic designer who made the job the exact procedure to achieve this.

Re: DID YOU KNOW there was Lingo for animated gifs?
Wasn't simpler to press the "categorized Lingo" button then choose the "Animated Gifs" menu? All commands are listed there. Btw - "Animated Gifs" is the very 1st voiceof lingo dictionary by feature.

is this OOP legal?
Hi all, i have a moral doubt here. I'm working on a project that i fully developed with objects. So, they act beetween themselves, everything works fine. But - of course - these objects must give some visual feedback of their work on the screen, so i linked to them their relative sprites. Now, here's the question, as i consider sprites as objects projections and not as objects themselves (they even link themselves to the object dynamically), is it legal to access their properties directly from the object or should i build some handlers to return needed data?

Re: list uses
Tyler, you can actually use lists for almost >1000 things. If i understood your question, you need to create a tile based map, and make your boat moving within. Of course lists are grat for this. I'm working in these days to a similar project, and i'm developing a map engine that may be similar to the one you need. It's based on Objects rather than on the score/sprites approach. I try to explain you what steps to consider in creating such a thing. 1 - a map consists in coordinates that you can store as points into a list. 2 - besides, you have a number of horizontal rows, and a number of vertical rows. 3 - "tiles" originates by such an environment have a width and a height. 4 - could happen that some tiles are not empty, so they contain obstacles, enemies, bonus points, other boats, and whatever you want. 5 - when your boat has to move, it has to "look" for a direction in the map. These are the basic aspects to consider i think: well they're the ones i considered at the first time, others came after a while :-) HopeThisHelps.

Re: touch screen kiosks
Just keep in mind these basic things: - use large buttons, and don't fit them too close. Touchscreens are nice things, but fingers are not. - don't waste time in rollovers, as nobody will see them. - make buttons visible. People have some problems in understanding that you can actually interact with a computer without using a keyboard and a mouse, so they need to be helped with interface feedback. This means that buttons should look like real buttons (i.e.). Besides, mouseDown & mouseUp sounds help a lot. - other things that i'm forgetting should been here.

Re: 3d in Director
That author built his code by himself.
