  • How can I save a cast member to the hard drive?

    Hi,
    I am using 'canvas' from the Paintbox library.
    I found a line of code on the forum to create a 'new' cast member.
    Now, I'd like to save that new cast member to the hard drive.
    BuddyApi doesn't have an option to do that, and I haven't had any luck with the Xtras lists I've found.
    How can I accomplish this?
    Thanks in advance for your assistance,
    BigDaddy

    To elaborate, this is how you would call the Xtra in your code:
    -- create the instance of the xtra
    objImg = xtra("ImgXtra").new()
    -- get the member's image we want to save
    imgToSave = member("foobar").image
    -- set the path and filename for the bitmap
    strFileName = the moviePath & "foobar.jpg"
    -- call the ix_saveImage method, with required parameters
    success = objImg.ix_saveImage(["image": imgToSave, "filename": strFileName])
    -- returns 1 if successful, 0 if not
    if success then
       -- something here
    else
       -- something else here
    end
    -- clear the xtra object instance
    objImg = VOID
    The other optional parameters such as format and flags can be set, if you like, and the info can be found in the imgXtra.txt document.

  • Create a child cast member

    Hi,
    I need to create a dynamic menu for an application. Right
    now I am creating every item as a new cast member:
    newMember = new(#text)
    member(newMember).name = "Item1"
    member(newMember).text = "Blabla"
    What I would like to do, is have an existing cast member with
    the good font, font size, color, etc... and in my lingo script,
    create all my new cast members based on the existing one, so I
    would only need to change the text it contains and not the color,
    size....
    It could also be usefull to do this since I could attach a
    behavior to the existing cast member and then all my new ones would
    have the same behavior attached to them.
    I hope this can be done, sorry if it is obvious, I'm in the
    process of learning Director and Lingo.
    Thanks,
    Pat

    Hi Pat, and welcome to the list.
    As for your question, I'd suggest you work with a single cast
    in general,
    unless it really helps organizing your project.
    Creating members on the fly -as it seems you are doing- is a
    much cleaner
    approach.
    Why don't you create a handler that would accept as arguments
    the formatting
    options and the member they should be applied to?
    Or e.g. two handlers that each would apply some fixed
    formatting to a member
    that is passed to it.
    The less the members, the smaller the project, btw.
    > It could also be useful to do this since I could attach
    a behavior to the
    > existing cast member
    I suppose you are talking about cast member scripts, not
    behaviors. Another
    thing you'd better avoid, since behaviors (scripts attached
    to sprites) are
    more flexible, receive notifications that script members
    don't (like e.g. on
    beginSprite), and are designed for oop (a reference to the
    script
    object -me- is passed as the first argument by the system
    when calling
    behaviors' handlers).

  • Creating a new instance of a cast member

    I want to create an instance of a cast member on stage, that
    will not exist as a new member in the cast.
    I read some stuff about child objects, but I wasn't
    successful in getting it to work.
    I also want to be able to create more than one instance, and
    to be able to manipulate them separately.
    Can someone help?
    Thanks a lot,
    Isaac

    There is a variety of ways to accomplish this ("is" agreeing
    with "a
    variety" not "of ways"). You can puppet as many sprite
    channels as you need
    and assign the one cast member to each. Each will function
    independently
    although any modification to the cast member itself will be
    reflected in
    each sprite instance.
    The following code takes the first cast member in the first
    castLib and
    places it on the stage 10 times using channels 1-10. It
    places the sprites
    side by side horizontally. The position is not important but
    I showed that
    each sprite can be treated independently, in this case by
    setting the loc
    property. Of course you can do this with any sprite property.
    The
    significant lines are 2 and 3.
    repeat with x = 1 to 10
    sprite (x).puppet = TRUE
    sprite (x).member = member (1)
    xPos = member (1).width * (x - 1) + (member (1).width / 2)
    sprite (x).loc = point (xPos, member (1).height / 2)
    end repeat

  • Change cast member images

    Hello:
    I need to change images in the stage from the cast member.
    The problem is that when I change the image, the previous
    image on the stage
    appears and quickly the new appears.
    How can I desappear the previous image before to show the
    new?
    Thank you very much

    Thank you:
    The problem is that I am stopped in frame 10 for example, in
    this frame I
    change the cast member image by Lingo and send the head to
    frame 1 and the
    image that I had before I see it and then change to the new.

  • Missing Cast member names in score

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem with the Score when I open Director.
    The names of the members on each sprite don't show up (see image), now I can work around this, but I'm editing someone else's document so locating each cast member on the score is turning into a time consuming and confusing issue.
    I'm on Director 2004 MX and I'm fairly new to Director so I haven't found anything in the help files or the forum

    Thank you!
    So obvious when you know how
    Cheers!

  • Script cast member not found

    Can anyone tell me why the %^$& I get a "script cast
    member not found"
    error?
    I've been working in Director for 17 years and I get this
    from time to time.
    I generally just copy the code from the behavior, paste it
    into a new
    behavior, name the new one the same as the old on, then copy
    the new cast
    member over the old one and it solves it. But it happened
    rarely enough
    that I didn't bother questioning why. I know it's not a
    syntax error
    because the code runs fine after the above process. But it
    does only
    happens when I've made a change to the code in that behavior.
    Now I'm working with a simple movie with one parent script
    and a
    prepareMovie handler that instantiates one child object and
    I'm getting this
    darn error all the time. My above solution isn't working
    anymore. The
    error points to the first line of a particular handler. That
    first line was
    a comment. So I got rid of the comment and the new first line
    of the
    handler is code and the error points to it. If you see where
    I'm headding,
    no matter how many lines of "errored" code I get rid of the
    error alert will
    always point to the first line of that handler.
    I'm sure many have seen this because it's happened in almost
    every version
    of Director I've owned. And by the way, I'm in MX on a PC.

    Dean, I might do that. No, this has been going on long enough
    that I sure
    it's not any definable user error.
    But, I did, after all of these years, discover something last
    night. In one
    case, I did get a legitimate script error that I fixed. When
    I ran the
    project again, I received the same script error, even though
    it was a simple
    fix and I was sure I corrected it. I recompiled several times
    and ran it
    again and received the error again. Then it dawned on me that
    since parent
    scripts remain in memory until disposed of, Director must
    have been, for
    some reason, referring to the old parent script. I had
    already set the
    object's global variable to 0 in my stopMovie handler and
    even though that
    handler might not always run when errors occur, I ran it from
    the message
    window to insure that the object's global was 0. But that
    still didn't
    solve the problem. Then I used clearGlobals in the message
    window and
    voila, the issue went away. Dare I say that this is a
    shortcoming of
    Lingo's design to allow variables to persist/linger after an
    error?
    But what still baffles me is that most of the time when I get
    that
    particular error,, even though I seemed to have found a
    workaround, it is
    not an actual issue with any code.
    When it happens again, I'll send you the code. Obviously, if
    I'm correct
    about the scripts lingering in memory, then you won't receive
    the error when
    you run the movie.
    I just find it interesting that there haven't been a bunch of
    "Yeah, I get
    that darn thing too" here.

  • Urgent: How to export a Director cast member - in this case it's a flash movie?

    Hi there,
    I've got a problem - of course, that's why I'm here.
    My problem is that in my Director (version 11.5) movie a flash movie is member of the cast list (sorry, I only know the German terms and hope totranslate correctly!). In it's properties there's no source-URL. So it must be "in" the Director film somehow.
    Unfortunately the original file went lost. Now I need to have this flash movie as a flash movie, not as a member/ cast. Is there any possibility to get the movie out of Director als a file?
    Thanks so much for your help!
    Kind regards
    Jana

    Hi Sean,
    thanks for that hint! I downloaded and extracted the Xtra into the Director Xtra folder. Then I tried to use the function "exportSWF", but it told me the handler is undefined.
    Unfortunately I'm a real Lingo beginner and don't know anything about Xtra usage.
    I used the following code: 
    m = member("Player")
    exportSWF( m, "/output.swf", TRUE )
    I'm sure that line 1 gives me the flash movie as a member, because it is used like that in the code already.
    I thought with the Xtra I can simply use the exportSWF-funcion. What else is to do to use it??
    Thanks in advance!

  • After upgrading to Solaris 10 "Can't load the root filesystem" on V245

    It seems like the driver for that device does not exist. Since the system installed successfully it means that it S10 did find a disk. I wonder if that was a different disk than the default disk. Please boot to the miniroot and check the disk info.

  • Cannot open grooveshark due to a supposed problem loading flash. (I have the latest version of both (Mozilla and Flash)

    Everything with firefox works ok except Grooveshark. An error message appears saying: We had problems loading flash, you might have any blocker etc etc.
    I don´t have any blocker and as a matter of fact i have the latest versions for both mozilla and flash. Neither version of flash test nor reinstallation process nor checking add ons or firewall settings solved my problem.
    Thanks for the attention. Regards

    To double-check your Flash permissions for the site, you can click the globe or padlock icon to the left of the address, click More Information, then click the Permissions tab. The "Activate Plugins" section would be the one to check.
    I understand you have checked your add-ons, but in case there is an unexpected interaction, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode just to confirm that extensions are not the problem? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    ''Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run''
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?

    Hi Kurt,
    The Mac IIci is not even powering on at all. Tried again with wih a tested power cable and no luck. 
    I think it's best that take  this issue to the Older Hardware Community. Not only did I see a fair number of replacement parts for the IIci avaiable online, but there also vintage external floppy drives as well. I'm not giving up.
    Thank you for your time and interest in helping.

  • Changing the cast member of a sprite

    Hi, I have the following code so that when a user clicks on a
    shape (acting as a button), it changes the cast member of an
    existing sprite called "base" on the stage to an image cast member
    called "Italian Lira". However the code does not work, any
    suggestions what I have done wrong?
    on mouseUp me
    currency = "Italian Lira"
    sprite("base").member = member(currency)
    end

    Thanks for keeping me sane Mike. I've always used a global
    list with sprite
    assignments so I never had to deal with whether or not the
    sprite names
    feature worked. But I guess you've dispelled the myth.
    Thanks.
    I guess we still don't know whether "base" is a sprite name
    or mistakenly
    and cast member name. I see that we haven't heard back from
    pete_484 on
    this.
