    Property lists for cast members

    Hi all, I am writing a program with a large library of images. I am making the program multi-lingual, and therefore each image has several names (one for each language). When creating a behavior for sprites, you can use the getPropertyDescriptionList handler to create an interface to input...

    open director 8.5 project on Director 8.0

    Nah, As far as I know, there is no converter. One of the best tips I was given when I started using director, was to create a dummy or stub projector on MAC and PC, which contains lingo telling it to run "Main.dxr" then name your main movie "Main.dxr" that way you can use it...

    open director 8.5 project on Director 8.0

    I rekon your best bet is to ask for some nice Mac-using, 8.5 owning person to make you a stub projector which will run your director file. I'd help you myself, but I'm a PC man. good luck

    Changing the color of PARTS of fields

    Hi All, I have a field, and I want to change the color of the first letter of each paragraph. This can be easily done to a text member using: member("text member").item[x].char[1].color = rgb(255,0,0) however, when you try the same thing on a field member it says "property not...

    Urgent please ans. this regarding flash file & director

    Is something on top of your flash file? Even if it is transparent, it may be blocking the clicks / rollovers to the flash movie? hope this helps.

    Mouse-over text/object

    This is kinda a tricky one in Director. I'd like to tell you there's a solution, but there is no easy one. Unlike Flash, Director runs on a single linear timeline, rather than a few simultaneous ones. So what you want to do is rather difficult. My suggestion is to design your interface (if thats...

    A tough lingo q involving fields!

    just chatting to myself here :) I figured out that the delimiter must be 1 sybol only, which leaves me with a problem. How can I put an empty line in between each item in a field? thanks in advance

    A tough lingo q involving fields!

    ok... I worked out this problem myself... and uncovered another... the solution was as follows the itemDelimiter = Return however now, I would like each item to have a line in between, so I speculate that the required delimiter would be 2 X Return, however I have tried: the itemDelimiter =...
