RE: sensors & peripherals

midi is your friend here. There are a some Xtras in director which enable you to take an analyze midi input. Midi is good enough to handle most what you throw at it as it has tons of parameters and you can send (127 note messages, 127 continuous controllers, 16 channels and some stuff here and t

RE: Hybrid disc

it's all possible :D... except autorun on mac OSX. Do a search around the list, as there is quite a good article on it somewhere.. basically it boils down to burning a 'custom hybrid' disc (how toast on the mac calls it). Where you can define the mac partition and the PC partition and ANY data s

RE: AW: Lingo to control two computers simultaneously???

out of the blue idea.. why not use midi.. I don't know wheter there is currentlly an Xtra that can handle MTC (Midi Time Code) and MMC (Midi Machine Code). But they should enable you to sync 2 or more computers up tightly enough. In theory, you could use midi clock to sync the 2 or more compute

RE: Video Masking

The only option I am aware of involves quicktime and the soerensen 3 compressor which can embed a 'media key' in the video, and without that key the video cannot be played back. So this wouldn't stop them from copying the video but it would stop them from viewing it outside your application. J.

RE: get and set pixel.

same here.. with some thinking and tweeking you can do a wide variety of IL effects which are fast enough to use in realtime. Some very good examples on copypixel effect to be found at the lingo workshop: http://www.lingoworkshop.com/code/imageFX.php J. -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: [E

RE: get and set pixel

What are you exactly trying to do? some things can better be done with copypixels and some other creative use of imaging lingo features. Get and set pixel is very slow. Caching the image objects will speed things up, but not to such an extend that it will enable you to do things realtime. J. -

RE: "Attempting to change a cast member that has original data for editing..." hundreds of times

had this as well. Simple sollution (didn't tried it on OSX as I do most developing on the pc) but simply pressing 'c' on the keyboard is the same as clicking continue. So when you keep the 'c' key pressed, the dialogs fly by and you gop through a few hunderth of cast members in a few seconds. B

RE: Window on runtime

take a look at the inspector when you click on the stage, in the tab 'Display Template' you'll find a bunch of options conserning the tilebar. There you can set it to invisible. (I know it's a bit strange when you put your projector full screen the titlebar still seems to display..) J. -Oo

RE: Stub projector starts very slow

have you followed all guidelines to make a fast start projector on the MM technotes? My guess is, although you've excluded the xtras, you didn't excluded the runtime. 1. don't include xtras, instead put them into an xtras folder on the same level as your projector. (in mx2004 you can tick the ex

RE: MPEG-1 Playback is dark using DirectMedia Xtra

I have noticed the same issue on my system (and on a few others around the office). I think 'wild guess' that it has to do with the installed media player (and it's codec which is being used) as I get the same colors when playing it back from within windows media player thingy. Using QT to play

RE: Importing multiple images problem

I imported several hunderds of images yesterday at once. No problems whatsoever. A few thing though.. 1. Make sure you have enough ram to do this. 2. Make sure your cast you import it in has enough empty members. should work then.. J. -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ma

RE: copypixels on quads

you won't get the same result as photoshop off course, which uses quite some mth to distort images so then end up nicely.. imaging lingo and the quad functions are rather designed to be fast so you could use it in realtime. However.. you 'could' try to map the image to a plane and use shockwave3

I don't know what causes it, but normally director only redraws the parts of the screen that actually change, not the whole screen. the line: the stagecolor = the stagecolor probably forces a total screen redraw fixing stuck 'images'.. J. -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
