Re: Tips for bringing PPT into Director and editing

Briefly experimenting with the powerpoint impoint import xtra included
with past version of director, I fould it only accepted a certain old
powerpoint version file, you may need to do two save as conversions with
powerpoint, using a current and somewhat older version in prder to get
files into the real older for the importer knows.

I assumeyou are using one if those xtras for wmv files that has it's own
cue point scheme. It is easier in some circumstances to just generate
Lingo linear a list of movietimes for syncronization. With code like:


on exitFrame
global movieCueTimes, currentCue
if sprite(10).currentTime < movieCueTimes[currentCue} then
go to the frame -- still waiting here
else
-- when at cue fall to next frame
currentCue = currentCue + 1 -- no code in sample for checking list end
end if
end
