Director with C++ dll

[Priya]

can director talk to a C++ dll ?

Hi,

There's a developer called 'bin-bin' (sorry, I can't find his/her address at
the moment) who has made an Xtra to enable Director to call dlls. C++ often
causes problems because of something called 'mangling' - but an explanation
of this is well beyond my capability ;-()

Perhaps bin-bin, if you are about, jump in ... ?

Priya,

I found bin-bin's site:

As I said, I don't have a use for his Xtra [I have an older, expensive
product ;-(] and I don't program in C++ [I use Delphi].

Best,

Alan Knight

In the old days there was an XObject called DLLGlue that allowed you to do
this. Ravware has a similar solution that works for Windows and the Mac, but
packaged as an Xtra. You can find it at
