[原创]Director 11 支持256X256图标的尝试
2008-04-10 13:30:31
听说Director 11 支持256X256图标了,我找到了一个包含256X256等格式的icon文件,在dir11的发布设置里面设置好使用该icon发布exe,如下:
结果发布后的exe在vista系统下面的超大图标显示效果如下:
估计是dir11的发布设置 不完全支持256的icon,接下来尝试先按默认icon发布后,用Axialis IconWorkshop工具替换发布出来的exe里面的全部格式的icon。
然后在vista系统下,测试超大图标显示,测试效果如下:
左边是dir10发布的exe,中间是dir11默认图标发布的exe,右边是在中间的exe基础上按上述说明替换icon后的exe。
总结:
dir11的exe支持256X256的图标,但是通过dir本身的发布设置指定对应256X256图标文件,发布出来的显示效果有"bug";要获得完美的显示效果,最好按默认icon发布后,然后用专业的支持vista系统256X256图标的工具替换对应图标即可。推荐用Axialis IconWorkshop工具。

(Believe it or not I'm equally swamped with work on D-Next and have been answering literally hundreds of emails daily - working with the tech support team and continuing work on PR - so it's been a wild ride lately.)
I wanted to post tho as there have been many request for a more detailed list of the many legacy bugs that were adresseed in D11 and I wanted to share them here. Click the extended entry to see the list - enjoy!
There is a technote of these coming - and they aren't the only fixes - but i know it helps to know what got cleaned up, so here's the hot list of the biggest ones.

小试 Adobe Director 11
2008-03-26 09:54:31
昨晚用迅雷下载了一份Adobe Director 11试用版,试玩了一下,下面是一些心得:
1.新的用户界面,刚开始有点不习惯,但确实使用比之前的版本更方便,官方称为Timesaving user interface。
2.新的脚本浏览器(Script. Browser)还不错,但是脚本编辑器几乎没有改进。
3.新的文字渲染引擎效果还可以,有所改善。
4.开发过程中仍然不能多次Undo。
5.跨平台发布功能有所增强。
6.新的位图滤镜(Bitmap filters)很好用,跟Flash类似,但是设置好的滤镜效果不能复制给其他spite使用。
而Flash CS3是可以复制滤镜的。不过可以通过复制sprite然后交换演员实现同样效果。7.支持Flash CS3,却不支持AS3,比较失望。
8.Dir11可以从DirMx2004复制member和sprite,反之则不行。
9.试用版的创作窗口右下角会打上"Adobe Director 11 Trial"字样。
10.试用版不能发布Projector,可以发布dcr,但目前还未有最新的ShockWave Player11下载供测试,应该稍晚会提供。
11.3D和JavaScript等其他功能暂未测试。

[源码]Flash 和 Director 之间的位图传输范例
2007-08-15 15:40:13
最近,有几个朋友问起Flash 和 Director 之间的位图传输的问题,今天干脆写一个范例供大家参考。
主要用到了Director10.1.1附带的flash_8_asset_xtra里面的convert(targetDataFormat, sourceDataRef)等相关函数来实现flash的BitmapData 和 Director的Image之间的自由转换。
注意:想要Flash 和 Director 之间的能够位图传输,需要Flash8或以上版本,需要Director10.1.1或以上版本,没有Director10.1.1,请参考这里:

Director 11 仍将“出席” ADOBE MAX 2007
2007-08-01 10:45:20
Adobe的年度盛事--Max2007大会即将在下个月于芝加哥拉开帷幕。之前听说Director 不会参加ADOBE MAX 2007,令人感到遗憾。
很感谢 Ted Patrick 给我们带来了好消息,Director 11 仍将“出席” ADOBE MAX 2007,将会有会议专题讨论Director 11 ,Director 11 将在会议上被展示,目前正在开发中,正式发布将在2007年年末,具体时间尚未公布,估计在圣诞前夕吧,呵呵。
顺便说一句:MAX 2007大会的 Director 11 专题活动 也是官方星期一(7月30日)会议决定的,对于国内尚存不多的Director 开发者或爱好者来说,无疑是一条非常好的消息,很感激Adobe还没有忘记当年为MM打下江山的老前辈。

推荐一款 拼写检查功能的插件 SpellCheckXtra
2007-06-21 09:04:58
今天推荐一款 拼写检查功能的插件 SpellCheckXtra,功能还不错。并且是免费和shockwave安全的插件。
直接复制Spell Check Xtra.x32到director安装目录对应位置下即可。
该插件包括4个函数:
checkWord (Object me, String word)
描述: 返回指定单词word是否拼写正确。
使用:
object = new(xtra "SpellCheckXtra")
put object.checkWord("test")
getSuggestions (Object me, String word)描述: 返回最接近要匹配单词的字符串列表。
使用:
object = new(xtra "SpellCheckXtra")
if object.checkWord("testz") then
alert object.getSuggestions("testz")
end if
findAndReplace (Object me, String word, String lookFor, String replaceWith)描述: 将文字里面的第一个找到的指定字符串替换成另外一个字符串。
使用:
object = new(xtra "SpellCheckXtra")
alert output.findAndReplace("Testing", "tin", "lg")outputs:
"Teslgg"
findAndReplaceAll (Object me, String word, String lookFor, String replaceWith)
描述: 将文字里面的全部指定字符串替换成另外一个字符串。
使用:
object = new(xtra "SpellCheckXtra")
alert output.findAndReplace("Testingtin", "tin", "lg")outputs:
"Teslgglg" -
puppetTempo 32000 让Director以最高帧速运行
2007-06-14 15:26:18
在Director 和 Shockwave 中我们可以通过puppetTempo来控制影片的播放速度,Director帮助文档里面也说了,Director的最高的回放帧速是999f/s。
其实根据MM内部工程师透露出来的秘密,puppetTempo 32000可以让你的Director 和 Shockwave以尽可能快的速度播放,经过测试这个效率要明显高于puppetTempo 999。这个是Director的又一个undocumented特性。
测试可以把这句话放到电影脚本里面:
on startmovie
puppetTempo 32000
end
Director 将竭尽所能以最高帧速运行。PS:puppetTempo 32000 能让Director以最高帧速运行,但也是有前提的,如:动画不要太多太过于复杂,精灵尽量不要使用ink效果,尤其Flash背景透明会大大降低实际的播放速度。
