'go to the frame' from an on stepframe handler

[Michael von Aichberger]

Hello List!

Is there another way to keep the playback head in a frame than by a frame
script?

I tried this:

on startmovie
  Cue = new(script "oCue")
end

-- parent script oCue

on new me
  (the actorlist).add(me)
  return me
end

on stepframe me
    go to the frame
end

This doesn't stop the playback head - why?

This is what I want to achieve:

Write a program that synchronizes "slides" to sounds or video. Instead of
creating lots of framescripts like this

on exitframe me
  if sound(1).currentTime < xxx then
    go to the frame
  end if
end

I want to store the time cues in a list, mark the cue points in the score
with markers and check on every stepframe, if there is a marker and if so,
search a list for the sync time and hold the playback head in the frame
until that sync time is passed.

Can anybody help?

Thanks
Michael von Aichberger
