FileXtra

[Shiv`]

Hi all,

I am using FileXtra4 to load 3D files from my harddisk to a 3Dworld at my
stage.
Now, when I try to load another file, the 3D file I already had imported is
replaced by the second one.

My question is: Is it possible to import different 3D files from my harddisk
into the same 3Dworld?

The current code I have:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------
global pModel
global chosenFile

on mouseUp me

fxObj = xtra("FileXtra4").new()

if not(ObjectP(fxObj)) then
WriteInfo("*** Could not instantiate FileXtra4. Is it in the Xtras
folder? ***" & RETURN)
return
end if

volumeToUse = "H:\"

chosenFile = fxObj.fx_FileOpenDialog(volumeToUse, "W3D/*.W3D", "Kies
bestand", TRUE, TRUE)

if chosenFile <> " " then

go to "Start"
pModel.loadfile(chosenFile, true ,true)
go to "3D View"

end if


fxObj = 0

end

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------

I hope you can help me out!
Thanks!

This is not a filextra but a lingo problem. The second parameter of the
loadfile function indicate that you want to replace the old scene by the
new.
Use
pModel.loadfile(chosenFile, FALSE ,true)

Another question about it...

So, I am importing mulitple .w3d files into my scene with the FileXtra.. Is it
possible to view the .w3d files while the open dialog is openend and/or before
importing them? I mean.. something like the option of the thumbnails view in
explorer? (Rightmouseclick -> View -> Thumbnails).

Thank you!

There is no windows included viewer for w3D file, so you can't use standard
windows objects to do that.
If you use file xtra functions, it doesn't seem to be possible. While File
xtra is running, you don't have any control with lingo.
But it's possible to create a fileopendialog in Lingo, and had a "viewer" in
the dialog. It's not a big work to do, and not so easy too
