Why doesn't Adobe have 3d modeling program?

It seems silly to me why I have to use other programs like Blender to design complex 3d models to import into Adobe Director? Adobe is the most well known and established software companies ever, and they can't make a simple program to design complex 3d models? Am I missing something?

Hotfix4 shows IOS status bar at the top

Are there any Director scripts resp. code beyond "cast members"?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 22 Aug 2014 14:53:36 GMT

Hi there,

currently I'm working on a big, hardly documented project in Director/lingo without having built it myself. So I'm faced with a lot of problems and questions.

(I'm working with the German edition, so maybe some of my translated English Director terms are not correct.)

This time I'm facing a very strange behavior of the application. There is a parent script named "PersonalZelle" (personal cell) which has a function named "switchCameraCB". I didn't find any call of this function via text search in other scripts. I already tried chosing to search in "all cast members" (German: "Alle Besetzungen"). But placing a breakpoint there and debugging it, this function is actually used in the running application! Ô.ô How can that be?

So my questions are:

1) Are there any "hidden" scripts/code beyond cast members? If so, how do I find them?

2) If not, how is it possible to have a function/method being used if no code actually calls it?

Second example:

In another script, there is a variable named piVideoNum. This variable is NOT instanciated and no value is given to it in the whole code. But debugging it, it always has the correct value which it should have. How can that be? Ô.ô where does it take the value from? As far as I know there is no UI-part having this variable attached. In the UI, you have three videos which you can klick, and if klicked, the correct number of the video is saved in piVideoNum. But in the attached behavior script there is nothing. The method which handles the klick calls another method and sends the piVideoNum - without having altered it before. Maybe it's also done by some "hidden" script/code?

Does anyone have an idea? This would be very helpful!

I need to alter this method, but if I don't know how it is working, there's no possibility...

I developing a Kiosk on iOS platform (iPad), based on Director.

I don't use any handler with this name and if I search in the script case, I don't find any text like that.

I've found a property with this name in the doc, but this is for 3D cast and I don't have any 3D cast in my movie.

Shockwave content gives black page in certain browsers

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 16 Oct 2013 11:21:43 GMT

Title says all. I have a shockwave application on an inhouse - webserver that shows well on certain machines, and a black page on others.

When it's not shown, it's not shown in any browser. Anyway, this is very annoying.

Chrome web app and desktop store

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 25 Jun 2014 13:38:43 GMT

Hi everbody,

i saw the Chrome web store and its new "Chrome desktop app" store, and i have a question:

Is possible to use shockwave to create an app for this store ?

Does anybody tried it ?

I would like to know if is possible to use the chrome store ( and its servers ) to upload an app , obviusly i don’t want that my app is on my server, but only on the google servers.

Is it possible ?

Thanks,

Mauro

I was reading also this email from Unity forum this the email copy-paste :

" The overall process was relatively straightforward and I wanted to share my experiences in this post. Some of this will apply to all Chrome WebStore extensions, however some will apply more to those who are developing games using the Unity 3D game engine.

Munchy Bunny! needed to be altered in various ways so that it would work more comfortably within a web browser environment. This included the removal of iOS specific features like leaderboards and achievements. Unless I can find a generic leaderboard/achievement solution (suggestions would be welcome!) that will work outside of game centre, I may need to create an alternative solution for a future commercial release of the extension.

I also spent a little time tweaking quality settings for the webplayer version to reduce the overall size of the built game.

From the build settings I experimented with both the native client (for Chrome) and the usual Unity WebPlayer. I feel that these each have their own advantages and disadvantages. I think that for me the most significant advantage that the Unity WebPlayer has over NaCl is that it supports joystick input. I am a big fan of the Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller for Windows and I love the fact that it can be used to play games that I make!

I uploaded and tested both the WebPlayer and the NaCl version. The NaCl version was approximately 120MB uncompressed (about 32MB compressed if memory serves). The WebPlayer version is approximately 8MB (both compressed and uncompressed). I was initially led to believe (from forums) that a limit of 10MB was in place, but this did not seem to be the case. Again, please feel free to comment if you are aware of any size limitations for extensions.

I customized the HTML file that was generated by adding a background and colour scheme in-keeping with the game. As far as the application is concerned, that pretty much just leaves the following:

Create a manifest file to describe the extension to the Chrome WebStore.

Take some screenshots (or provide video preview on YouTube).

Write a description and provide artwork for icon.

Publish extension for testing.

Finally, unpublish extension and then publish for release.

I used the `manifest.json` file that was generated for NaCl version as a starting point and then altered it to work with the non-NaCl version instead. Here is the manifest file that I created:

{

"name": "Munchy Bunny! Demo",

"version": "1.0.4.5",

"description": "Classic platformer fun for Google Chrome. Bounce through 2 demo levels collecting eggs and find the hidden golden eggs!",

"icons": {

"16": "icon16.png",

"48": "icon48.png",

"128": "icon128.png"

"offline_enabled": true,

"app": {

"launch": {

"local_path": "WebPlayer.html"

}

My version numbers consist of three parts (1.0.4 for example) however you may notice the presence of an the additional “.5″ number. It took 5 revisions before I was happy to submit my extension for the masses. Each submission of an extension must have a newer version number, so adding the fourth part allows this without altering the release version each time for trivial changes.

With Munchy Bunny! the idea is to keep version numbering consistent across all platforms. Currently the iPhone/iPad is running version 1.0.3, for example. The demo version is 1.0.4 in this case because it contains improvements that have not yet been applied to the mobile version.

This is quite an important concept to bare in mind because otherwise you could loose some control over your version numbers (like accidentally releasing 2.0.4 instead of 1.0.4). There doesn’t appear to be a way to correct this without deleting the extension and starting over (which could mean loss of reviews and valuable feedback from end-users).

My game does not require a connection to the Internet once it has been installed. So I added the “offline_enabled” property. I needed to adjust the launch path so that it would launch the WebPlayer instead of the NaCl version.

Having done this all I needed to do was to zip the following files for submission:

img (directory) – for custom styling of HTML page

icon128.png

icon48.png

icon16.png

manifest.json

style.css

WebPlayer.html

WebPlayer.unity3d

I found the whole process surprisingly straightforward, and the extension became available immediately for download. It took just over 24 hours before the extension was available via search facility of store, and about 3 days before appearing in Google search results. "

Director 12 iOS app question

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 24 Feb 2014 20:39:18 GMT

So, I'll try to keep this short but clarify as best I can:

I work for a school district IT department. We currently have a teacher who has been developing and updating Director tutorials back to the Director 4 days. This summer he is doing a major updating effort to update his tutorials using Director 12 (He last did this effort to bring Director 10 compatibility.)

He also wants to consider republishing them for iOS compatbility.

Putting aside the intellectual property issues of who owns the application code (that may end up in lawyers' hands), what does it take to get final apps working on an iOS 7 iPad?

Is it possible that we may choose to not publish to the App Store and use an in-house Apple provisioning profile through the Apple Enterprise Developer Connection membership and side load these finished tutorials on iPads? Do we have to publish to the App Store? If we do a free app in the Store, do we have to give Adobe a payment? Paid app?

Putting aside those type of issues, how hard is it for most folks to recompile such apps for iOS? Any pitfalls?

I'll be honest, I'm confused and would like some guidance from other folks who have actually done this.

Huge file size?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 12 Mar 2014 19:21:08 GMT

Hi all,

I am creating as very basic Director file (or so i thought) in Director 10.1 with some pictures in. There are about 20 images and each one is about 200-400kb each.

Yet when I import them they come in as a huge filesize!?!? This has never happened to me before...

When I look at the side panel it tells me they are bitmaps with a file size of, for example, 23.7MB but I know its just a jpg of a few hundred kbs.

As a result my dir file, and thereafter my dxr file, is huge when the content therein is just a few megabytes in total.

I have never had this before - all my previous projects are a reasonable size?

Please can anyone advise?

Thanks...

Hello I have a List question

I am stuck writing this line of code

He is my project

I need to "rank" in descending order 50 game contestants

The names of the contestants are in fields "contestants1" to "contestants50"

The scores of the contestants are in fields "score1" to "score50"

A property list will have or be created ? Yes? No?

Then that list will have to be sorted with "best score" to "lowest score" and the "contestant" name with the score in the list. Example if Brandon ends up being in 32nd place with 344 points the list would have the player name and result.

**I am familiar with max() however, that is only going to give me one result .. I need them reordered descending

Lastly the really easy part the sorted list placed in a filed cast member "FinalResults"

Example member("FinalResults").text = string(aList)

Installing Project

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 25 Feb 2014 21:41:37 GMT

I have fairly large set of movies and sound files that go with my program. The projector is accompnaied by these two huge folders.

Is there any way to hide these folders before installing the program on Mac. The reason why I am concerned only for Mac is that in Mac, the program gets installed in the Applications folder right next to the icon for the projector. This folder containing all the necessary files for the programis readily visible to the user. Is there some way when someone opens this folder, they wont see the sound and the movie files that are in it. In my mind, they are a bit of dirty laundry and I want to keep them away from the eyes of the user. The movie files are all protected and cannot be opened but the sound files are all plain files. I am less concerend about ripping than just having an elegant solution.

Thanks for help.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 21 Jan 2014 09:59:17 GMT

Hi All,

I have not used the Director since MX - it is good to get back.

A couple of general question, please:

With Dir12 is it now possible to put an image directly over a video sprite reproducing/playing in QT?
Is it possible to put videos on top of each other?
If possible, is there a significant performance impact on the video?
Is QuickTime still the primary choice for reproducing HD videos?

if I remember correctly all this was possible before, but only if one turned OFF "direct to stage" option...and that used to result in absurdly poor playback.

Video capabilities (or lack of them) was the reason I migrated to Flash in the first place. It would be so good to know that Dir uped its game since then.

thanx in advance

Problems With Audio/Picture Playback in Director

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 20:23:48 GMT

I'm pretty new to Director and I want to refrain from getting into scripting for this simple task:

I am animating frame by frame with no vectors. I put a .wav file in one of the sound channels and stretch it across the entire animation (few thousand frames) for a scene. Then, no matter where I am in the animation, when I press play the sound starts from the beginning.

There is no way in hell I'll be able to sync lips with dialogue by playing the entire scene from the beginning every time just to see the sound synced with audio. I want to be able to play the same fraction of a second (several frames) while animating and KNOW WHERE IN THE SOUND I'M AT. I would have thought this expensive program would at least display the spectrogram or something, much less not play the audio from the beginning when I'm in the middle of the sound sprite. I've prerecorded the entire sound score in one Audacity file and exported it as a .wav to Director. I don't want to use any other sound channels or ques, etc.

PLEASE HELP, and thank you.

Why don't I see an imbedded SWF playing on the Mac (I can hear it), but plays fine in Windows?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 03 Dec 2013 04:37:50 GMT

I've been tasked with updating an older project by adding more selections to a menu, which work nicely. I'm developing this in Director 12 on a Mac running 10.7.5. I've created both a Mac and a Windows version of the projectors.

As a background, I was given the SWFs but have had nothing to do with the creation of them. Same is true with the Director file, but that's what I'm updating now and that is where my woes started.

The Windows projector works fine. On this simple timeline, the user clicks a button, jumping to a frame and calling upon an SWF to play. The frame has a SWF Then the user has to press a Main Menu button (in the Director environment, not the SWF) to return to the main menu.

In the Windows environment, everything works perfectly. The SWFs play -- you can see and hear each one when selected.

In the Mac environment, I can only HEAR the video. I only get what seems to be the stage color of the SWF and nothing else is seen. All other functionality in the Mac environment works. I just don't SEE the SWF play.

Now, here's the kicker... on the Mac I can see and hear the SWFs if I play them in SAFlash Player or in Flash itself.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

does Internet Explorer take over cursor control ?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 15 Nov 2013 12:18:01 GMT

Hi all,

Is it possible that Internet Explorer takes over control of the settings of the cursor in Shockwave dcr files ?

Since a couple of months I have realized that the cursor in my dcr movies does not change anymore from the default pointer despite being instructed using lingo commands.

For example:
on startMovie me
cursor 280

end

should change the cursor into a finger, but it does not.

I have also tried hiding the cursor (cursor 200) and using my own custom made custom but the default pointer refuses to disappear.

When using Google Chrome all works well.
Hower, this is not a proper solution since I cannot control the users choice using Internet Explorer or Google Chrome.

I would expect a lot of screams from all over the world but the lack of that makes me think there maybe a simple way to avoid this.

Any comments are very much appriciated.

Director 11 Publishing Errors Xtras?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 11:31:38 GMT

I really hope someone can help me with this problem. I can't find a solution online, and I don't want to pay for an upgrade to Director 11.5 until I know this will be sorted out.

When Compiling my Projectors (Which I have been doing the same way for literally years) I have started receiving random errors which stop the publish and corrupt the final program.

These errors happen sometimes, and not other times so I can't see a logical explanation for any of it and it is driving me insane.

They Happen one after the other when Publishing

"This file is locked. C:\Program F...port\NetFile"

Click OK

"This file is locked C:\Program F..ent\AWADCmpr"

Click OK

"Problem writing file 'E:\....(FilePath)': Having trouble saving this movie"

Then it just stops....Doesnt publish anything

If I take out the Xtras so that when the file is saved, only the required Xtras are included and publish again...

"This file is locked. C:\Program F...t\Font Asset"

Click OK

Then I get hit with ...

"This application requires an Xtra (Font...) that either does not exist or failed to initialize properly. Please make sure the appropriate Xtras are in the Xtras Folder(s)."

The Program preview runs and it works fine !!

Close the Program again..... Open it... Publish... and it Published the file no problem at all.. No errors... no problems. Works fine.

Just doesnt make any sense.....

I also have a random "C:\ Program F..t\GIF Asset" Error that appears every now and then... which mentions Animated GIF's.. (Which Im not even using !)

I have recently upgraded to Windows 7, but had no problems at first with this.

I have also completely reinstalled Director to make sure all Xtras that come with the package were installed...... and that had no effect either.

Anyone got any ideas? be hugely appreciated.

Thanks

How do I know if Hotfix 2 is installed?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 22 Aug 2013 13:22:56 GMT

I clicked on Help>updates... and the application manager opens up. This tells me that there is a Hotfix 2 available which I "update"

It downloads, tells me to shut the program down and does a whole lot of things but when I restart Director it tells me that there is a Hotfix2 update available?? How do I know if the update was successful? I can only see Ver 12.0

please can someone help?

Why does my projector say it needs shockwave 12 to run?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 28 Aug 2013 21:26:58 GMT

Projector made in Director 12 on Mac (Mountain Lion) - I don't have any shockwave content in the projector, and it never did this when it was published in Director 11. I get the message 'application error: this program requires shockwave 12'. Any ideas? Thanks!

Quicktime and iOS

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 01 Sep 2013 01:03:28 GMT

I am trying to publish a movie to iOS but am getting the following error on the ipad when the movie starts.

Director Player Error

This application requires an xtra (quicktime) that either does not exsist or failed to initialize properly....

The director project uses quicktime sound (not movies) and the movie has the Quicktime6 Asset, Quicktime Asset Options, and Quicktime Agent xtras included. I have read somewhere on the forum that iOS dosen't support video on the iOS does this mean quicktime audio files are not supported either? Or am I missing something else?

PostNetText with custom mimetype ( application/xml).

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 05 Sep 2013 12:40:14 GMT

I'm trying to post to a rest instance, but the instance requires application/xml mimetype to be specified. I don't seem to be able to do this using postnettext.

my code is of the form

mime = "application/xml"

netid1 = postnettext( "http://10.238.49.5/restapi", xml_job_text, "Windows", mime)

which comes back with a netdone of true and a neterror of "" (no text at all). The job submission is ignored. Any thoughts as to what stupid thing I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Jerry.
