I need help
I tray to convert my project build in director 6.5 in to mx
2004.
Problem is that in mx 2004 there is
no lingo syntax modal
Modal (the following is explanations from director 9 s help)
Syntax
window "window".modal
the modal of window "window"
Description
Window property; specifies whether movies can respond to
events that occur outside the window specified by window.
When the modal window property is TRUE, movies cannot
respond to events outside the window.
When the modal window property is FALSE, movies can respond
to events outside the window.
With that syntax I force users to first close pop-up windows and
than go further
Is there anything like that in mx 2004.What to do???????/

Answer 1

Well, the problem is that you are not using Director 9, and
since there
is no #modal option in the version you are using, you really
should try
to stick with what is available in Director 10. You can use a
#tool
dialog (be aware that #tool windows work differently in
Authoring and in
Projectors).
Also, you can temporarily set Director to use older legacy
syntax y
changing the scriptExecutionStyle
the scriptExecutionStyle=9
--use old syntax here
the scriptExecutionStyle=10
--back to normal Dire10 style Lingo
