Adjusting member names of inventory items in Lassie AS
I'm probably just overlooking something, but I can't figure this one out. According to the Lassie documentation for Director, the inventory editor has a type box to input an item's member name. I've imported my first set of items into the game, and none of the graphics are showing up. When I click on the "reload inventory items package" button, it tells me that there is no path specified for the member item "_inven". The member item shouldn't be _inven as far as I know... The library editor won't even allow me to adjust that one. So how do I change the member names of my inventory items? They just show up in game as the default wrenches, but the names & dialogue work fine.

In config and library in the editor: Were it has the name field delete the "_" from the "_inven" text and press tab, you should now be able to set the inventory path once its set just re add the "_" :)

Ok. I'm assuming I have to include all my inventory graphics into a single .swf, right? I'm running off the Director documentation here, so I'm not 100% positive. I can't find a template either. Is it as simple as using labels to name link the graphics to their corresponding items?

in the _system folder you will have an FLA, _inven.fla you just add new items and labels to that and publish :) I have a Lassie AS tutorial.. erm i'll find the link.. edit: http://www.nigecstudios.co.uk/tutorial/Lassie_AS_Tutorial.pdf ignore any links as they wont work or: http://www.nigecstudios.co.uk/tutorial/tutorial.rar this has the Lassie AS with the demo images and the tutorial pdf these are the two files which the links would look for http://www.nigecstudios.co.uk/tutorial/door.zip http://www.nigecstudios.co.uk/tutorial/gran_hall.zip also theres a tutorial for doing puzzles using sprites and phases http://www.nigecstudios.co.uk/tutorial/Flow%20Charting%20for%20LassieAS.pdf the files for it http://www.nigecstudios.co.uk/tutorial/flow_tut_files.rar

Woooaaah! You are a lifesaver! Thanks! About that inventory thing, I suppose I was right on with my assumption, but I still feel pretty stupid for overlooking the inventory file. I mean, I just edited the cursor from that same folder today :/. Yeah these tutorials will definitely help. Thanks again!
