DrawXtra
is an AssetXtra. Unlike XObjects or Lingo Xtras, AssetXtras can be manipulated
using the score and cast windows, and their properties can be adjusted through
Lingo, just like Director's built-in media types.
To create a DrawXtra cast member, go to your INSERT menu, select TABULEIRO
XTRAS->DrawXtra. If you are using an unregistered version of the Xtra
for evaluation, you can skip the REGISTRATION dialog box. A new cast member
will appear in your Cast Window in Director, with the DrawXtra icon. Click
on it and drag the cast member to the score.
A new sprite will be created on your score window, respecting the size of
the castmember canvas. You can click twice on the castmember to adjust the
size and other properties. At this point, you can use DrawXtra functions
and properties to enable interactive or algorithmic drawing. At least the
"drawingmode" property must be set before you can interactively draw anything
on the DrawXtra canvas. The sample Director 6 movie included with the
Xtra is a good starting point if you want to make an interactive paint
application using DrawXtra. |
