text and image swapping

[Chucky1975 webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi Guys,

returning to Director after a long while. My memory has faded on me so I hope that you will give me a hand!

I need to create a multilingual program (English and Portuguese). How could I go about creating the dual language option. I'm guessing a text file for each language that is referred to by Director, but how do I tell the program which bit of text to pick from the whole text file.

Additionally, I would like to create a simple image browser. The images in a folder are updated everyday and the director file would then allow the user to browse these images in an easy, friendly way. These images would not be imported into the projector and the file name would always be unique (so that the image can be ordered and bought if need be). I would want the image to load and unload as the user browses to stop the memory filling up.

Many thanks for any ideas and help.

Regards,

Charlie

Someone else just asked something similar not long ago. Look for the thread
"Slide Show Problem". I had given the poster some lingo to handle grabbing
images from an external folder.
