Shape projector

[Dimitar Bairev]

Hi there

anybody know how to make a Director Projector with irregular shape? for
example a circle without using Xtra.
As far as I know there is some Director function that can do this, but I do
not know what is it and how should it be used.

Thanks in advance for any help

It's said that you can hide the stage, place your content in a Movie In
A Window and set the window shap by setting the type of the window to a
bitmap member, there are examples out there, although it's not worked
for me.



set the windowtype of window "X" = member "shapemask"

1. You need a 1-bit bitmap member
2. define the following property to your MIAW:

gMyMIAW.windowType = member("my mask")

3. This does not work under authoring Director... you need to create and
execute a projector in order for this thing to work.

No he isn't. Either there is something wrong with your newsreader or your
message list is out of date.

OK
but is there a way to change the shape of the main movie with this property?
OR the only way is to make a "dummy" movie 1x1pix which will start a MIAW?

As long as I know you can do this with any MIAW.... but give it atry to the
stage...
I am not sure it works...

I know there are Xtras to work this kinda things with a lot more freedom. I
hope somebody else in this forum can suggest us a couple of them.

It's the only way to do it without a 3rd party Xtra. As Arturo said, there
are Xtras that can change a projector's shape.
