Re: Player messages

I've used the playPaused handler as a part of the player script. It works pretty well - wanted to use playStopped but it never worked. Hope this helps! Jack Rarick Braintree Athletic Systems On Thursday, December 4, 2003, at 08:41 PM, J. Landman Gay wrote: I am playing a series of QT sound-onl

Player messages

I am playing a series of QT sound-only movies by changing the filename of a player. A playstopped handler is supposed to trigger when the player is done and then loads the next sound file. I am not getting a playstopped message if the stack containing the player is frontmost. As soon as I click

As I will be offline for the next five days, two remarks: First, I will follow Richard's advice to ask my questions again next week when I am back and Rev may have rounded up their new troops by then. I have done some more benchmarking, which I will report about, concerning the relative speeds

Multiple sounds playing at once - how?

I'm looking for suggestions on how to get multiple sounds to play at once using MetaCard 2.4.3. I currently use the play command (play audioClip, specifically) to play AIFF sounds. I had used the play videoClip command in many past projects, letting my file size be smaller by using QuickTime

Re: Metacard support

I won't repeat Wilhelm's comments both to save space and to acknowledge the fact that I think most of us agree with the general sentiment. As a long-time supporter of Metacard (MC), I, too, have lamented in previous posts about the directions that RR has taken. I won't repeat those either. I

Re: Metacard support

To use the current version of the engine with the MC IDE you need to go to runrev.com and download a package named "Revolution". You can rename it to anything you like, but for communicating with the community as a whole it may be less confusing to just use its current name. I guess this would
