Avoid possible confusion by identifying a character by its ASCII value. For more information, see the Scripting Reference topics in the Director Help Panel. • To obtain a character's ASCII value, use the charToNum() method. For example, the following statement finds the ASCII value for the letter A and displays it in the Message window: put charToNum("A") -- 65 • To find out which character corresponds to an ASCII value, use the numToChar() method. For example, the following statement finds the character that corresponds to the ASCII value 65. The result is the letter A: put numToChar(65) -- A About animated color cursors Director supports animated cursors.You can use any 8-bit bitmap source in your Director cast as an image in the cursor animation, automatically scale images, and generate masks for 16 x16 pixel and 32 x 32 pixel cursors. (Mac computers don't support 32 x 32 pixel cursors.) An animated cursor consists of a series of bitmap cast members. Each bitmap cast member is a frame of the cursor. You can control the rate at which Director plays the frames of an animated cursor. Using the Cursor Properties Editor, designate one or more bitmap cast members as frames of a single cursor cast member. Xtra extensions that support animated cursors The Director installation program places two animated color cursor files in the Media Support folder within the Director application's Xtras folder. The specific files depend on the platform you are using.
