New Stuff! (this page is work in progress for now)

Uses some new behaviors I have had to make over the last year.
These will soon be add to the library.
actual behavior name in

Dice Roll MovesP layer Piece (actually there are a set of these). This is part of a test for making an on-line version of a business finance board game. Unfortunately the project was stopped due to cost. The test is to make a dice roll random numbers and update the animation of the dice rolling to reflect those numbers. Once rolled, it moves the players piece along the board clockwise depending on what the dice rolled. It may go around quite a bit if the dice roll is high since it is a small board.


Puts Contents Of Dropdown In A Global List then calls that selected item upon release to decide on a graphic to display. Use maybe for changing colors in a kitchen design by selection combinations


Runs Command Based On Text Fields Contents. Looks at the string in text field and upon release, decides on a graphic to display. Use maybe for changing colors in a kitchen design by selection combinations. This one is much better if you have a lot of choices as you do not need a list like the one above although, I think the one above runs smoother.


ever wanted to trigger a handler in another sprite's behavior instead of the current one ...This behavior will do it.


Dropdown Choice Changes Contents Of Another DropMenu. This example uses new dropdown behaviors I have for use in a personal project. This is a simplified version.


Dropdown Menu Selection Changes Radio Choices. This example uses another  new dropdown behavior I have for use in a personal project. This is a simplified version.

Get Split Time Into A Field  is a simple timer was created to help me when I needed a timer in which the split time would be copied with CTRL C and pasted into a spreadsheet all the while the counter continues visually. This was used for taking notes during a theatrical show rehersal. The 2 other custom behaviors used were: Text Field Changes Based On Click A Condition & Make Field A Counter Without Extra "0" Digits


Get Data From a Web File  is a small exercise in getting a list of seats purchased. Pre-liminary design is for the Oregon Community Theater Website. The end outcome is to allow the user to pick and purchase seats on-line and see which ones are already taken. The finished media will hide the list results below the seats as well as show a larger actual seating representation of the entire theater. Seat A5 is already taken per entry via the web. This part is currently functioning and can be changed at will.


Calculate Direction PWM was a behavior used for a calculator that I had to make to help calculate the PWM speed of a motor controlled by an EZIO board with a NM H-bridge (see physical computing section). what is does is allow you to put in the desired speed you want the motor to turn and it will calculate the correct PWM value to send out.


Text Field Changes Based On Click A Condition is a behavior used to help create an interactive circuit drawing that helped for a discussion with an individual that was well skilled in joystick circuitry. It was used to serve as reference for how to have director fake a joystick signal using a microcontroller.  The circles can be clicked to make the changes.


Calculate max FPS based on duration entered  is a another bahvior for a calculator that I needed to tell me the maximum number of frame actions I could have each sec. based on the duration of the project as director is limited to 32000 frames 17.5 minutes!. You can jump to another director project when you run past 17.5 minutes, but this was not an option for the project I was working on.
