Importing dir-files into another!

[Bodhisattvan webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

My problem is that i want to import director files into another! But some simple script like this one i have for enlarge a thumbnail doesn´t work.

on mouseEnter
play frame "1"
on mouseLeave
play frame "0"
end


Maybe there is a better way to do this, something like this scripts


on mouseEnter
member.("thumb1").width = 200
member.("thumb1").height = 200
end

but i dont know what to do!

Thanx for help

You can import one director file into another, but it doesn't have the
smarts of a flash film clip,, they can make hanling vcertain animation
sequences in a more compact way. you can actually get the same sort of
thing ( a film loop) with a copy and past of a score selection into the
castlib.


If you want the actual thing rolled on to to expand;


on mouseEnter me
sprite.(me.spriteNum).width = 200
sprite.(me.spriteNum).height = 200
end


usualy sprites are modified for short term effects, cast member mods are
more likely to be done on a permanent basis at runtime.

I have changed the width if a text member and the regpoint of a bitmap
member on the fly as the only solution for special applications.

mouseEnter is one of the quirks with using the limited capabilities of a
Movie In A Movie (MIAM) or Linked Director Movie (LDM) as they're popularly
called.

Add your voice to the wish list for full support of LDMs!

By the way, this is looking for trouble down the road. When using 'play',
you need to terminate each and every 'play' with a 'play done'. If you
don't do this it will swallow up RAM. Also, if you navigate to other movies
using 'play movie' and without using 'play done' then the projector may
flash a frame from a different movie just before it quits.

I recommend using 'go' if there's a chance the user can navigate without
issuing a play done for each play command.

And, while Director doesn't seem to object, you should probably 'end' each
handler definition before defining another.

on mouseEnter me
go to "1"
end
on mouseLeave me
go to "0"
end

Yet another "and", why are you naming your markers as numbers? Why not use
names that make sense? Director has no problem with this method, just
thinking about your sanity in case you or a co-worker start confusing
marker names for frame numbers.
