RE: lingo-l CD playing using MCI command
What os are u using.microsoft don't support mci any longer -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Peter Rosa Sent: 09 August 2001 15:56 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: lingo-l CD playing using MCI command Importance: High Hi all Director lovers, how exactly should I use the mci() command in Director ? I have complete documentation about MCI commands from Microsoft, but (as other things) it does not work. I just try to play an Audio-CD track from Director. Is it the good idea to play large sounds (songs) from an audio track added to CD via MCI commands rather then importing to cast and say puppetSound. ? Any ideas should be great.

Is it the good idea to play large sounds (songs) from an audio track added to CD via MCI commands rather then importing to cast and say puppetSound. ? MCI has been deprecated by Microsoft for several years, and has only legacy support. I'd stay away from MCI. You can use sound playFile, and you don't need to import the audio into a cast. If you're using Director 8 or later, there is a whole new set of sound commands that give you a lot of control over audio. Check the Lingo dictionary, Lingo by Feature, under Sound.

Peter: I have complete documentation about MCI commands from Microsoft, but (as other things) it does not work. hmmm. interesting statement. I have done a lot with MCI once you get over some conceptual hurdles it worked quite well. while it is depricated, the support for MCI is still there in Windows 2000. dunno abut XP tho.

Check the Lingo dictionary, Lingo by Feature, under Sound. while this is true, it has nothing to do with playing an audio CD track, which was the original question and in fact was the subject of the posting... wry grin I suggest that you go to the Penworks web site look at the CD Pro Xtra. it is free and does what you need quite well. these are the folken who host this mailing list. click here: http://www.penworks.com/xtras/cdpro/index.cgi hth Al Hospers CamberSoft, Inc. alatcambersoftdotcom http://www.cambersoft.com A famous linguist once said: There is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative.

I zoned in on the part about casts and such, and missed the part about Red Book.
