2002.6FileIO Xtra for Macromedia Authorware 6.0
Copyright 2001 Macromedia, Inc.
FileIO provides a set of functions allowing users of Macromedia Authorware 6.0 to programmatically access files using scripting.
Using FileIO
============
As an Xtra the FileIO Xtra must be in your application's Xtras folder.
Each instance of FileIO can reference a single open file. If multiple files are to be opened simultaneously, a new instance of FileIO is required for each opened file. A single instance can be used to open multiple files, as long as the file is closed before a new file is opened. To create a new instance use NewObject, defined below. To dispose of an instance, set the instance variable to 0. All functions that read from or write to the file must be called after the file has been opened using openFile. If a new file is to be opened using the same instance, the old file must first be closed using closeFile. Files can be opened in three different modes: Read, Write and Read/Write. When writing to a file, the contents of the file after the current position are overwritten.
Example Script:
-- Create an instance of FileIO
myFile := NewObject("fileio")
-- Display an "open" dialog and return the file name to Authorware
myFileName := CallObject(myFile, "displayOpen")
-- Open the file
CallObject(myFile, "openFile", myFileName, 1)
-- Read the file and return a string to Authorware
theFile := CallObject(myFile, "readFile")
-- Close the file
CallObject(myFile, "closeFile")
-- Dispose of the instance
myFile := 0
In this example, a new instance was created and stored in the variable myFile. Next, a call to displayOpen is used to display an open dialog to allow a file to be selected. The file name is returned as a fully qualified path string to Authorware. The file is then opened in read-only mode, the contents of the file are read, and the file is closed. Lastly, the instance is disposed.
There is also an Authorware Show Me (xtraio.a6p) which demonstrates how to use the Xtra. It can be found in the Show Mes installed with Authorware 6.
Known Problems
==============
The FileIO Xtra cannot use a net-based file when supplied with a URL for the file name. It is limited to accessing files available via file systems mounted on the local system.
The displaySave function does not directly inform Authorware whether a user is replacing an existing file. A workaround is to attempt to create the file using createFile and check the error code for a "File Already Exists" error.
Function Reference
==================
closeFile
CallObject(object, "closeFile")
Closes a file that has been previously opened using openFile.
createFile
CallObject(object, "createFile", "fileName")
Creates a file. The fileName must be either a fileName to be created in the current directory, or a fully qualified path and fileName. Relative paths are not supported. After creating the new file, the file must be opened before it can be written to.

CallObject(object, "delete")
Deletes the currently opened file. The file must be open to use this function.
displayOpen
CallObject(object, "displayOpen")
Displays a platform specific "open" dialog allowing a user to select a file. Returns a fully qualified path and fileName to Authorware. The setFilterMask function can be used to control what file types are displayed in the dialog.
displaySave
CallObject(object, "displaySave", "title", "defaultFileName")
Displays a platform specific "save" dialog allowing a user to specify a file. Returns a fully qualified path and fileName to Authorware. The setFilterMask function can be used to control what file types are displayed in the dialog. The title and defaultFileName parameters allow you to specify a default filename to be displayed, as well as title text for the save dialog.
error
CallObject(object, "error", status)

CallObject(object, "getFinderInfo")
Returns the Type and Creator of the current file as a string. This function does nothing when used under Windows. The file must be open to use this function.
getLength
CallObject(object, "getLength")
Gets the length of the currently opened file. Returned as an integer. The file must be open to use this function. The value returned is the length of the file in bytes.
getOSDirectory
getOSDirectory()
A function that returns the full path to either the Windows directory, or the System Folder depending on which OS is currently being used. Does not require a child instance to call.
getPosition
CallObject(object, "getPosition")
Gets the file position of the current open file. Returned as an integer. The file must be open to use this function.
NewObject
NewObject("fileio")
This is called to create a new instance of FileIO. It returns an instance variable used to reference the instance.
openFile
CallObject(object, "openFile", "fileName", mode)
Opens the named file. This call must be used before any read/write operations can take place. The filename can be either a fully qualified path and filename, or a relative filename. The openMode parameter specifies whether to open the file in Read, Write or Read Write mode. Valid Flags are: 0 Read/Write, 1 Read, 2 Write.
readChar
CallObject(object, "readChar")
Reads the character (either single or double-byte) at the current position and then increments the position. The character is returned to Authorware as a string. The file must be open in read or read/write mode to use this function.
readFile
CallObject(object, "readFile")
Reads from the current position to the end of the file and returns the file to Authorware as a string. The file must be open in read or read/write mode to use this function.
readLine
CallObject(object, "readLine")
Reads from the current position up to and including the next Return, increments the position, and returns the string to Authorware. The file must be open in read or read/write mode to use this function.
readToken
CallObject(object, "readToken", "skip", "break")
Reads the next 'token' starting at the current position. Characters matching the 'skip' parameter are "skipped" and the file is read until 'break' is encountered. The file must be open in read or read/write mode to use this function. This function will read double-byte tokens as long as the skip and break are single-byte characters. It will not detect double-byte skip or break characters.
readWord
CallObject(object, "readWord")
Reads the next word starting at the current position. The file must be open in read or read/write mode to use this function.
setFilterMask
CallObject(object, "setFilterMask", "mask")
Sets the filter mask used by calls to displayOpen and displaySave. The filter mask determines what files to show when displaying an "open" or "save" dialog. The third parameter is a string representing the filter mask to set.
On Windows, this is a comma-separated string of file types and associated extensions (e.g. "All Files,*.*,Text Files,*.TXT"), and a string of types on the Macintosh (e.g. "TEXTPICT"). On Windows, the filter mask string is limited to 256 characters.
On the Macintosh, you are limited to four four-character types. When a new instance of FileIO is created, the filter masks defaults to all files. To reset the filter mask to display all files after it has been set, just pass in an empty string, e.g. CallObject(object, "setFilterMask", "").

Follow the prompts provided by the installer. You will get the option to choose a Custom installation to re-install only select portions of the KILLER Transitions product.
Running KILLER Transitions for the First Time
When you first launch Director or Authorware after installing KILLER Transitions, you will be prompted to allow KILLER Transitions to register your authoring tool with the KILLER Transitions interface. Click OK at the prompt to complete the installation process.
Please note that KILLER Transitions are now usable only with the specific copies of Director and Authorware that you are using on your system.
GETTING STARTED
How To Use KILLER Transitions V1
Once you have properly installed KILLER Transitions as described above, you can use the standard user interface of Macromedia Director or Authorware to apply them to your projects.
Using KILLER Transitions in Director
You can use the Score itself to create a new KILLER Transitions castmember. Open the Score and double-click on a cell in the Transitions channel. Director will now display the Frame Properties:Transition dialog. You will see four categories of KILLER Transitions on the left:
Category
KILLER Hybrids
KILLER Slides
KILLER Wipes
KILLER Particles
If you click on any of these category names, you will see the specific KILLER Transitions effects which are available within the selected category.
You can double-click on the Transition name in the right column and Director will automatically assign that transition effect to the Score using the default transition settings. The default settings for each of the 24 Xtras have been carefully selected to provide an exciting example of the visual effects provided by the transition algorithm.
All of the special controls for KILLER Transitions are available if you select the Transition name by clicking only once and then clicking the "Options..." button on the right side of the dialog.
Once you have selected the settings that you want (using the controls found in the Options dialog), click on the Set button to confirm your choices, then click on the OK button to create a new Killer Transition castmember with your settings applied to it.
This creates a castmember which you can now place into other locations of your Score. You can drag and drop Killer Transition castmembers from the Cast window into the transition channel of the Score window. You can also copy and paste cells in the transition channel of the Score window.
If you decide that you want to change the settings on a Killer Transition castmember, you can do so by accessing the Cast Info dialog. Select the castmember you wish to modify and then click on the Information button in the top of the Cast window. Now click on the Options... button to access the controls for that transition castmember. When you click the Set button, your changes will be recorded into the castmember.
Using KILLER Transitions in Authorware
You can apply a transition to any display, erase, interaction or framework icon.
Select the Transition command from the Attributes menu. This will display a dialog which you can use to access all of the KILLER Transitions. You will see four categories of KILLER Transitions on the left:
Category
KILLER Hybrids
KILLER Slides
KILLER Wipes
KILLER Particles
If you click on any of these category names, you will see the specific KILLER Transitions effects which are available within the selected category.
You can double-click on the Transition name in the right column and Director will automatically assign that transition effect to the Score using the default transition settings. The default settings for each of the 24 Xtras have been carefully selected to provide an exciting example of the visual effects provided by the transition algorithm.
All of the special controls for KILLER Transitions are available if you select the Transition name by clicking only once and then clicking the "Options..." button on the right side of the dialog.
If you want to see a preview of your transition applied to the current icon, click on the Apply button in the dialog.
Once you have selected the settings that you want (using the controls found in the Options dialog), click on the Set button to confirm your choices, then click on the OK button to create a new Killer Transition castmember with your settings applied to it.
This creates a castmember which you can now place into other locations of your Score. You can drag and drop Killer Transition castmembers from the Cast window into the transition channel of the Score window. You can also copy and paste cells in the transition channel of the Score window.
If you decide that you want to change the settings on a Killer Transition castmember, you can do so by accessing the Cast Info dialog. Select the castmember you wish to modify and then click on the Information button in the top of the Cast window. Now click on the Options... button to access the controls for that transition castmember. When you click the Set button, your changes will be recorded into the castmember.
More Usage Information

For more details on using transitions in Authorware, please refer to the section titled "Transition Xtras" in Chapter 2 of your "What's New in Authorware 3.5" manual.
Shipping a Projector with KILLER Transitions Xtras
The transition Xtras can be shipped as part of a Director or Authorware multimedia project. To do this, you simply need to copy only the KILLER Transitions Xtras that you are using in your project into a special folder/subdirectory named Xtras. Then you must place this Xtras folder/subdirectory in the same place as your runtime package or projector application.

DETAILED DOCUMENTATION
This section documents the user interface for each of the transition effects which come with KILLER Transitions. These effects have many controls which can be used to create thousands of transition variations. Experiment using the Options dialog to preview the possibilities!
General Interface Options
Shapes Menu
The Shapes Menu is enabled for the following KILLER Transitions:
Cascade
LiquidTiles
The Shapes menu lets you select different geometic shapes to apply to the transition effect. The shape selections are:
trUp (triangle pointing up)
trDn (triangle pointing down)
trR (triangle pointing right)
trL (triangle pointing left)
rect (rectangle)
diamond
4Star (4 point star)
5Star (5 point star)
6Star (6 point star)
Preview Menu
The Preview Menu is enabled for all of the KILLER Transitions. This menu allows you to control the appearance of the images in the preview area of the dialog. The menu options include:
Loop Preview
Enabled by default. This menu command causes the transition preview to be looped continuously. If this menu command is disabled, you can view a preview by clicking on the Preview Transition button at the top center of the options dialog.
Start Picture
This menu command allows you to select the starting picture for the preview. An initial set of 10 images are provided. If you have imported any images using the Import Picture menu command (see below) they will appear in this submenu.
End Picture
This menu command allows you to select the ending picture for the preview. An initial set of 10 images are provided. If you have imported any images using the Import Picture menu command (see below) they will appear in this submenu.
Import Picture (Macintosh only)
This menu command allows you to import your own custom image for the purpose of previewing transition effect settings. You can import any valid PICT image. If the image you import is larger or smaller than the preview window, it will be scaled to fit upon its display.
Remove Picture (Macintosh only)
This menu command allows you to remove any images which you have imported using the Import Picture command.
Use Palette Color Selector (Macintosh only)
This menu command determines whether color selections with the color chips (border color, matte color, etc.) will be made using the System palette displayed by KILLER Transitions (the default setting) or your standard system color picker. Disabling this menu command will cause whatever color picker your system has active to be used when clicking on the color chip.
Using the system color picker can be very useful when specifying an RGB color and desiring exact control over the color selection.
Slider Controls
The Slider Controls provide access to much of the flexibility of the KILLER Transitions. You can drag the slider to a new position. You can type a value into the field above the slider and press ENTER or TAB to enable the new setting. You can click on the slider area and the slider will move to the new position as you hold the mouse down.
You can use the Control key to cycle many of the sliders from a percentage value to a numeric value to a locked value. Some sliders are fixed to one format of display and other do not support the locked setting.
Slider Control Settings - Percentage
When the slider displays a percentage symbol (Macintosh) or you have enabled the Percentage checkbox (Windows), you are setting the value of the slider to a relative percentage of the changing area of the element(s) that the slider controls. This is useful when you wish to keep the appearance of the transition similar across different changing areas.
Slider Control Settings - Numeric Value
When the slider displays an equal sign, you are setting the value of the slider to a number of pixels.
Slider Control Settings - Lock-Linked
When the slider display a small lock symbol, you are lock-linking the setting of the border height and border width sliders in various transition effects. Once you lock one of the sliders, its display will always be tied to the relative setting of the other slider. This can be examined best in the Inversection transition type.
Angle Control
The Angle Control allows you to specify the starting angle or direction of a KILLER Transition effect.
You can click and drag the control into a new position. You can type into the field a numeric value from 0 to 359. Some transition effects are limited to 45 or 90 degree angles and your selection may be "rounded" to the nearest allowed value.
Palette Controls
The Palette Controls allow you to specify the color of matte, wedge and border areas. You can select either indexed palette values or RGB values. RGB values provide added flexibility as they protect the color of the matte, wedge or border even if the underlying palette selection is altered. Using indexed palette values can be useful if you plan careful palette switches and desired to indirectly control the color of the matte, wedge or border through varying entries in this palette location.
You can click on the palette control with the Control key selected to activate indexed palette values. When you do this, your selection will be display as an index value on top of a color chip showing the current color stored in that palette location. Otherwise you will see "RGB" on the color chip.
Step Control
You can use the Step control the display of the transition effect one step at a time while previewing it. You can hold the Step button down to cause a continuous stepping display.

You can use this property to dynamically create new KILLER Transitions castmembers using the Lingo command "new." For example:
new(#SharkByte_Shattered, member 100 of castLib "Transitions")
would create a new Shattered effect castmember in the specified location.
Custom Member Properties
Each KILLER Transitions Xtra has built in help information about the unique properties it supports. You can use these properties to create extremely custom and flexible interfaces which display variations of the general theme of a specific Xtra. For your reference, here is a list of the transition Xtras help information. You can obtain this by typing:
put the help of member x
in the Message window (where member x is a KILLER Transition castmember.)
Tip: If you want to know the type of Xtra that a specific castmember represents, you can use this Lingo code:
put word 3 of the help of member x
You can get a list of all of the custom properties for a specific transition castmember by using:
put the propertyNames of member x
You can get a list of the current values for a specific transition castmember by using:
put the propertyValues of member x
You can learn more about the specific values you can assign to the properties supported by a specific transition castmember by using:
put the arguments of member x
There are many properties provided by KILLER Transition castmembers. These are discussed in more detail below.
