lingo-l Panther: Automating publishing dcrs etc.

2004-01-08 Thread Brennan
Here's a neat trick: If you're using Panther, you can take advantage of this new fangled Applescript feature called 'GUI Scripting'. This is essentially the same as many 'macro' utilities such as Keyquencer and Quickeys, but built into the OS, and not requiring any third party software. For

Yes, but there's some workarounds to this. I can post files if you're interested, but here's how I did it. In Flash set up something like this: _global.fModule = new Object() fModule.reset = function(){Items.Init();} fModule.currentItem = none; fModule.selectItem = function(theNum){

Hi All, I'm trying to get a series of images (approx 400 x 300 pix each) to scroll across the screen, the further the cursor is moved from the centre of the screen the faster the images move. They eventually run off the screen and appear on the opposite side creating a seamless loop. The

The solutions presented will lock off a double click on a button, but that's only part of the issue - the button under the second mouse click might not be the same one as under the first mouse click, so it could easily be getting only a single click. I'd throw a little delay into the second
