clicking from within w3d.

[bsx06]

hi

I want to know how will i click within a .w3d file. and make something
happend. like opening a link or something. Just like the Magic.dcr. But more
understanding. Magic has no tutorial or nothing, it really makes it hard to
understand.

So how will i do this ,... thank you.

Hi,

Modelsunderloc is the command you want to look at in the director help file.
Here's the the example code show in that section:

Example
The first line in this handler translates the location of the cursor from a
point on the Stage to a point within sprite 5. The second line uses the
modelsUnderLoc command to obtain the first three models found under that
point. The third line displays the returned detailed information about the
models in the message window.

-- Lingo syntax
on mouseUp
pt = the mouseLoc - point(sprite(5).left, sprite(5).top)
m = sprite(5).camera.modelsUnderLoc(pt, 3, #detailed)
put m
end

// JavaScript syntax
function mouseUp() {
pt = _mouse.mouseLoc - point(sprite(5).left, sprite(5).top);
m = sprite(5).camera.modelsUnderLoc(pt, 3, #detailed);
put(m);
}
Cheers,GP

so like, if i wanted to click on a box called : my_box1, within the w3d. and it opens up a link. is this is the same script. or how will the script change?

[Gianpiero Colagiacomo]

try this:

on mouseUp

pt = the mouseLoc - point(sprite(5).left, sprite(5).top)

-- use modelunderloc to return only the first model under the mouse location

m = sprite(5).camera.modelUnderLoc(pt)

if not voidp(m) then

-- if the model under the mouse location is called "my_box1"

if (m.name = "my_box1") then

-- open your web page

gotoNetPage "http//www.yourserver.com/yourpage.html"

end if

end if

end

hi,

how about click two boxes within one w3d?

the script worked out great, but i don't know how to make it so that you can click on box1 or box2

[Gianpiero Colagiacomo]

bsx06,

You just need to change the 'if m.name = ' part of the script to handle more
than one possible value - using a case statement for example:

case (m.name) of

"box1":
-- do processing for box 1

"box2":
-- do processing for box 2

end case

Cheers,

GP
