Sorry, I made a mistake in the code I posted earlier. The properties passed to Valentin's ImagXtra should be strings, not symbols, so the relevant line should have read:

PUT ix.ix_saveImage(["image": tMem.image, "filename": mPath & tName & ".png", "format": 13])

I have made a little utility projector executable that automates this, and allows selection of multiple cast libraries, all in one fell swoop. It seems to export your bitmaps successfully. If you want a copy, PM me your address and I'll email it to you (~2.5MB)

Put your cast files on-line somewhere and send me a link in a Private Message on this forum

First thank you for your help

i must be doing something wrong, because nothing gets exported.

I tried with all and also with only one CST file just to see and same results.

I always try to do the stuff by myself and learn new things but after a whole day of trying im getting fed up ^^

Can you bother to do it for me, its 158mo only small size and resolution bmp files (around 400 probably) and 9 audio files.

I can put that up on we transfer

please

Create a new Director file and paste the following handler into a movie script (Ctrl + Shift + U) and save the file somewhere:

on mExportImages castLibIndex

nMems = castLib(castLibIndex).member.count

ix = xtra("ImgXtra").new()

mPath = _movie.path

repeat with ii = 1 to nMems

tMem = member(ii, castLibIndex)

if tMem.type = #bitmap then

tName = tMem.name

if ( tName = EMPTY ) then tName = string(ii)

PUT ix.ix_saveImage([#image: tMem.image, #filename: mPath & tName & ".png", #format: 13])

end if

end repeat

end

Download Valentin Schmidt's free Image Xtra and install the xtra ("ImgXtra.x32") and "FreeImage.dll" into Director's Xtras folder ("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Director 12\Configuration\Xtras\Scripting" or your equivalent)

Link your CST (or CXT/CCT) cast file/s to your movie with the "Link…" button on the dialog presented when you hit Ctrl + Shift + C

Open the message window (Ctrl + M) and type mExportImages(2) and hit ENTER. All the images in the second cast library should be exported, as PNG files, into the same directory as you saved you movie file into

i have found a cdrom of family pics and after a day i managed to extract the .cst files, i used GIMP as an external editor to get the photos BUT i only done it one image at the time.

I have probably around 400 images and its gonna take me forever ^^

Is there a way to extract more than just one by one?

thanks
