Hi,
I just started learning Director and lingo..
and as far as click and drag, I'm doing pretty good.
I tried writing some Lingo scripts, with some success and obviously a lot more to still figure out.
I've got two challanges currently:
1) Placed a mpeg1 movie in director, and when played back in a projector file(exe), it flickers.
I think, it is because I wrote in the go to the frame, and since it is trying to hold that frame, it keeps on reloading that frame while the movie is playing, and the background seems to be peeking through every few frames of the movie.
It is direct to stage.
I'm wondering if there is code to pause director, so it isn't loading that frame.. or perhaps a more proper way to load a movie to seem to blend in, but be on top of everything getting main focus.
Challange #2...
2) got a 3D object from Maya, a simple cylinder with text on it as a texture map.
I'm trying to rotate it with simple image buttons, outside of the 3D cast member, with imported image cast members.
What is the proper way to do this?
parent - child issues?
perhaps something I'm missing?
thanks
