Brian's suggested method works (bravo!) It is simple and I'm embarrassed I didn't think of it myself, though I claim frustration and lost time as an excuse. Here's what I did:
put the duration of player 1 into theDur put (theDur/the timeScale of player 1) into theSecs start player 1 send "movieStop" to me in theSecs seconds
And then there is a "movieStop" handler like this:
on movieStop playNextSegment -- includes the above script bit end movieStop
So I'm back in business. I've bug reported the problem though.
Hi Jacqueline:
Just curious if you ever found a reliable time/loop workaround for audio playback. I just tried building an MC 2.5 standalone on OSX using the following overkill tracking script and it seems to loop the player (4 second AIFF file) relatively seamlessly.
[button script]
on mouseUp if the paused of player 1 then set the uAllowTrack of me to true set the looping of player 1 to true start player 1 trackTime else set the uAllowTrack of me to false stop player 1 set the currentTime of player 1 to 0 end if end mouseUp
on trackTime if not the uAllowTrack of me then exit trackTime if the currentTime of player 1 = the duration of player 1 then \ start player 1 send "trackTime" to me in 10 milliseconds end trackTime
Curious to know what you've found.
I ended up with something almost identical to what you did above. In the standalone I was working on, I didn't actually need looping, though I used that in my posts to show the bug. I really did want a short pause between each movie. Still, the solution was very similar to what you're doing. I had to send a repeated message every few milliseconds to check whether the movie was playing or not. If not, I loaded the next movie. If so, I just kept checking until it did stop.
I don't see any way around this until they fix "playstopped". -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com
