RE: lingo-l prevent sound skipping: Macromix vs. DirectSound

Hi Michael, Good to know you're alive and kicking in Director-land! I'm grappling with some of the same issues right now -- preloading lots of stuff into memory, etc. I wish I could tell you conclusively what happens if you load a dangerous amount into RAM. We're finding that if Director

Re: lingo-l duration member property

: Duration is a read-only property, unless it's changed recently. It'll tell you the length of a sound, but is not used to control sound playback. There are a variety of ways to test/cycle, but duration is not one of them, sorry... At 01:59 PM 6/10/02 -0700, Leah Kramer wrote: Hi all

lingo-l batch converting sounds?

Hi all, I have a bunch of sounds (hundreds) that were created in Peak and SoundEdit as 16 bit 44 khz aifs. I need to just quickly downgrade the quality to make them smaller. (It's just scratch audio so it doesn't have to sound great.) Does anyone have any advice as to what application will

Re: lingo-l linked director movie experts

Re: lingo-l 1000 sprites - there must be another solution

lingo-l printing from a Shockwave movie

Can someone tell what the status is of printing from a Shockwave movie? It's been a while since I had to look into this. What works best on PC and Mac? (via Director's native printing, Printomatic, some other Xtra?) I remember that at one time Printomatic would only work via Shockwave on the
