Version 2.1

2.1 July 2004

Adaptation to Director MX 2004: Configurable window behavior within Director (especially for OS X) and CPU.

The function 'Convert 1.x-Script' is only available at the end of the help section 'Script', page 16.

Minor repairs.

2.0.3 July 2003

The widget sequence has changed: The first widget is now edittext to set the focus (and cursor) under Windows to the first field when opening the dialog.

The function 'Convert 1.x-Script' is working now.

Minor repairs.

2.0.2 January 2003

Adaptation to Director MX, especially for Mac OS X.

Fixed: A Mui Xtra bug of the mixed up x und y coordinates of the window position: Since D8.5 the values of x and y are passed correctly.

Improvements on Open- and Save-dialog.

Minor repairs.

2.0.1 August 2002

Italian language module available (again).

Minor repairs.

2.0 July 2002

The MUI-GUI window has been increased to 640 x 480 pixels.

No more limitation to the number of widgets. Now you can use any number of any types of widgets.

From now on support of non-modal dialogs (behaving like palettes).

The MUI engine has been modified to have only 2 global variables in use. Existing 1.x scripts can be adapted to the new engine by a single button click.

As from now you can use your own callback handler and for example thus create dynamic dialogs.

An open source file (example.dir) that explains specifically the use of custom callback handlers is made available for download.

Variables in the MUI trigger scripts are now handled as property lists, thus making subsequent modifications to the script easier.
You can choose whether the properties in the property lists are defined as strings or as symbols.

Some of MUI-GUI's internal dialogs make use of modified callback handlers in order to effect the adjustment of the dialog's elements as entries are being made. Making entries has thus been made more comfortable.

New option: Bitmaps integrated in a MUI GUI dialog can be adapted automatically to their real member size.

New option: Bitmaps can be displayed in front of or behind all other widgets.

Scroll function: Press the space bar to move the whole layout; for creating large dialogs.

Improvements at creating script members:
When creating a new script member MUI-GUI now checks, if the handler already exists in the main movie. The member names don't matter any longer.
The new script can replace existing members, if there is a script with an identical handler in the main movie.

Comments and most of the variables' names in MUI-GUI scripts have been translated into English.

The progress bar for 'save' and 'open' has been optimized.

Lots of minor improvements (as always with an update ;-)

1.1.1 October 2000

  • Dutch language module available.
    Minor problems fixed.

1.1 September 2000

  • Italian language module available.
    French language module available.
    Language support revised as a whole. Now MUI-GUI requires a dummy castLib »Language« (0.5K), but only one language module of choice as a minimum.
  • Handling of variables changed: MUI-GUI now uses only one global variable (plus those of the engine). This global stores an object which contains all values as properties, and it is set to 0 when quitting the tool. Thus, the user doesn't need to look after variables any longer he didn't create in his main movie on his own.
  • Problem with sliders fixed: Float sliders returned float values only if float values were entered in the property window. Now integers are converted to float values automatically.
  • The background of the dialog box layout has got its own cursor. Now you can see if you are pointing to a widget or to the background. Thus, clicks on the background by mistake will be avoided.
  • Some minor problems fixed.

1.0.1 August 2000

  • Improvements to text, especially in English.
  • A problem of the MUI-Engine fixed, which caused wrong absolute-to-monitor-positioning of a dialog on Mac.
  • New function:
    MUI-GUI can now remember its window position if you like (Button Pref).
