Hi great list,
here comes a somewhat funny question:
I have a project that uses external casts (I plan to use a stub projector in
the end), but when I am trying to test the project it seems like the
projector totally ignores the external casts. It works fine if I include
them in the projector
Hi Kristian

projector but then the point of having them
Hi again and thanks...
seems strange to me that the only way to use external casts is to make a
stub movie - is this assumption correct? But if this is the way to go I
can live with that...
Having the same trouble (not getting external casts to load) when using
MIAW's that uses external casts...

Karina gave you a good answer on protecting the casts. No further
needed, except to emphasize
I'm not sure if this is your problem, but the only time I've found that you
HAVE to include an external cast in the projector is if it contains elements
that are present in frame 1 of your timeline. If the elements in an
external cast aren't present on the main timeline until after frame 1, it
OK, sorry about the lack of information... here we go...
For the external cast question, no, you don't have to have a stub,
though Karina's suggestion is good for other reasons. For a MIAW to have
access to an external cast, it needs to be included in the stage movie.
It can be external, but
The external cast needs to be included? In both the MIAW and
in the stage movie? I assume I just use the (in somewhat
pseudo): castlib(whatCast).fileName = moviePath
myfolder:mycast.cst
It doesn't need to be included in the projector, but it needs to be
specifically linked. Modify | Movie
Thanks again for answer.
Seems like some things are straightened out for me now.
I actually did get it to work with external casts and projectors (using
CastControl) will try the other tips that I have gotten from you as well.
Another MIAW issue:
When my main movie opens a MIAW that contains a

Could be since I only use puppetSprites that are in frame one for controling

Hey Kerry :)
Karina gave you a good answer on protecting the casts. No
further needed, except to emphasize _save a backup_ before
you protect! Once you protect it, that's it. You can't unprotect it.
That's why I like using the publish to shockwave button - your originals
remain intact, and
I do handle forgetMIAW with closeWindow and such.
How are you handling the MIAW closing? Code specifics, please--there's a
nasty gotcha with closing MIAWs.
Cordially,

I think the Xtras-Protect Movies is a bit risky, because it remove
the
originals, even though you get every opportunity to backup.
I have to admit I got bitten by that about 6 months ago, and you'd think
I'd know better. It cost me two days' work.

Matbe I was doing somthing wrong, but I have always had trouble with
Quicktime in MIAWs on windows. Seems to work fine on NT and Mac, but would
crash ME, XP, etc. You might want to try using Mpegs and Mpeg Advance Xtra
from Tabuleiro if you want to run Movies in a MIAW.

From what I can tell (did use debugPlaybackEnabled = TRUE, thanks by the
way) it never reaches this function. Have tried putting it in both the miaw
movie and the main movie.

Here comes the code for both opening and closing:
The code for opening is as follows:
on getMIAW()
global
The code for closing is as follows:
on closeWindow
global gMQTWin
close gMQTWin
forget gMQTWin
put Closed MIAW
end closeWindow
How are you calling the closeWindow handler?

Hi,
to the best of my knowledge, there is no need to link a MIAW's external
casts to the main movie (but as long as they are set to Load when needed
I suppose it probably won't hurt) - in fact I'm working on a project right
now where all the MIAW's have external casts that are not linked to

Indeed. You need to explicitly forget the MIAW.
It's a bit more involved than it appears. You can't have the MIAW forget

As a rate per hour for a full time job, in this economy it might be
worth going for, but if you have to be available and that particular

That pay is insulting. It's an entry level salary, especially considering
that it's part time. Maybe OK for the Carolinas but not for California.

A little OT. How do I get the codecs so QT can play MPEG-4 and DV (a
capture from a digital camcorder)? I have QT 6.3 on Windows XP Pro.
Both should work just find (assuming you did the Recommended
Install). Do you have samples somewhere?

Hmm... I just checked Apple's Web site, and the MPEG-4 samples there

Maybe the files are corrupt. I'm getting an error message that it's a

Sure. You know I guess that MPEG-4 is both a file format and a video
compressor (but would more fully be called MPEG-4 Video

Not sure using HTML, but once it is imported you can do it in director:
Loop through char by char
Check fontstyle
if fontStlye = #subscript Or #superScript
then set that chars fontsize to 9

First. Sure you can protect your cst files. It works exactly like the dir

problem is that the casts are not linked to the dir file. The easiest way to

ie:

so I can save the HTML in some way it doesnt need to be parsed at all
when I read it from the HTML file...
