ok, looking up the corrresponding mac filenames in xtrainfo.txt helps a lot,
thanks.
The mac xtras are not binhexed in the PC installation
('..Configuration\Cross Platform Resources\Macintosh'), but each xtra is
supplied as two files, eg
SWA Decompression PPC Xtra.data

Hi
Does anyone know of a list that briefly describes the purpose of all the
standard xtras that ship with director? It would really help to know
which of the xtras are _really_ needed for distribution.
Does this helps?

Hi Diego,
those things are also called ComboBox. you have several opportunities:
- you can use an xtra like OSControl (cross-platform) or cXtraComboBox
(win only)
- for windows you can use an activeX control
- you can use an existing imaging lingo solution, like eg. the

I'm trying to get the directory above the moviePath, and my brain is in
vaporlock.
I thought I could get it with pPath = @//the moviePath, but Director is
choking on that, and every variation I can think of.
This is on Windows, but it would be nice to work on Mac as well.
Cordially,

If you want to go up a directory to a file, you'd do
@//someFile.txt
...or a folder:
@//someFolder/
Does that help?
It's a start, but it still doesn't get me where I want:

That works, Sébastien. Thanks.

I may be wrong, but I think that the problem is

I've always used an approach like Sebastien's.

Yes, it does. I can't find a way to use that to open a file in the

Good question. Easy answer. I'm just using it in the message window to

Ah. You need to parse it then. You can't us @// in that way.

Does that do what you need it to? Or do you need to confirm that the

I usually stick with full pathnames, since it's not always clear when
the @// operator is appropriate and because full paths work in all
cases. That way I can save my other brain cell for more
So, MIAWobject.titleVisible is no longer valid in the Director 10 version
of the engine.
And the timeout object stuff has changed.
So where do I find Here's the Lingo that changed file?

Then again, scriptExecutionStyle isn't in the docs anywhere, including the
LiveDocs site, so I dunno if there's really any documentation of what I'm
looking for.

I may be wrong, but I think that the problem is
that Buddy doesn't understand the @ operator.
Niether Buddy nor FileXtra recognise the @ operator. As Warren says
the @ operator is internal to Director.

I
know that many xtra developers have figured out the method of splitting but
I'm not sure how to restore.
If you have access to a Mac, you can use this utility that I made. It requires the
demo version of BinaryIO Xtra. It splits and joins.
