ADOBE DIRECTOR 11.0 287 Scripting Dictionary Director movies in authoring mode and projectors support the downLoadNetThing command, but the Shockwave Player does not. This protects users from unintentionally copying files from the Internet. Although many network operations can be active at one time, running more than four concurrent operations usually slows down performance unacceptably. Neither the Director movie's cache size nor the setting for the Check Documents option affects the behavior of the downloadNetThing command. Parameters URL Required. The URL of any object that can be downloaded: for example, an FTP or HTTP server, an HTML page, an external cast member, a Director movie, or a graphic. localFile Required. The pathname and filename for the file on the local disk. Example These statements download an external cast member from a URL to the Director application folder and then make that file the external cast member named Cast of Thousands: downLoadNetThing("http://www.cbDeMille.com/Thousands.cst", the\applicationPath&"Thousands.cst") castLib("Cast of Thousands").fileName = the applicationPath&"Thousands.cst" See also importFileInto(), netDone(), preloadNetThing() draw() Usage -- Lingo syntax imageObjRef.draw(x1, y1, x2, y2, colorObjOrParamList) imageObjRef.draw(point(x, y), point(x, y), colorObjOrParamList) imageObjRef.draw(rect, colorObjOrParamList) // JavaScript syntax imageObjRef.draw(x1, y1, x2, y2, colorObjOrParamList); imageObjRef.draw(point(x, y), point(x, y), colorObjOrParamList); imageObjRef.draw(rect, colorObjOrParamList); Description Image method. Draws a line or an unfilled shape with a specified color in a rectangular region of a given image object. This method returns a value of 1 if there is no error. If the optional parameter list is not provided, draw() draws a 1-pixel line between the first and second points given or between the upper left and lower right corners of the given rectangle. For best performance, with 8-bit or lower images the color object should contain an indexed color value. For 16- or 32-bit images, use an RGB color value. To fill a solid region, use the fill() method.
