Below is the script I use for mobile players. It's old so things may be different now, but if I 
remember right I had to check playerPropertyAvailable for the duration to be sure the player 
had enough content to start playing.



on createMobileAudioPlayer pURL, pPlayerName
  -- pURL = remote video or audio file
  -- pPlayerName = name of player to create; if empty uses LC-assigned ID
  if sPlayerID is in mobileControls() then mobileControlDelete sPlayerID -- init
  if pPlayerName = "" then
mobileControlCreate "player"
put the result into sPlayerId
  else
mobileControlCreate "player",pPlayerName
put pPlayerName into sPlayerID
  end if
  mobileControlSet sPlayerId, "rect", getPlayerRect() -- can use a literal rect 
instead
  mobileControlSet sPlayerId, "showController", true
  mobileControlSet sPlayerId, "filename", pURL
  mobileControlSet sPlayerId, "visible", true
  if pURL begins with "http" then
mobileBusyIndicatorStart "square", "Loading..." -- add loading indicator until duration is 
available

  end if
end createMobileAudioPlayer

on playerPropertyAvailable pProperty -- msg sent when enough content is loaded
  if pProperty is "duration" then
mobileBusyIndicatorStop -- Remove the "Loading..." indicator and start 
playing
mobileControlDo sPlayerId, "play"
  end if
end playerPropertyAvailable

on setMobileAudioPlayer pPlayerName,pState -- control the state of the mobile 
player
  -- pState = "pause", "play", or "stop"
  if pPlayerName is not among the lines of mobileControls() then exit 
setMobileAudioPlayer
  mobileControlDo pPlayerName, pState
  if pState = "stop" then
mobileBusyIndicatorStop -- in case it's still showing
mobileControlSet pPlayerName, "visible", false
mobileControlDelete pPlayerName
  end if
end setMobileAudioPlayer

on playerFinished -- sent on mobile when audio is done
  setMobileAudioPlayer "stop"
end playerFinished

I wrote earlier in this thread:

That does the trick for me and UNhilited the widget.

So gave him an impression of how my layout and polygrids look like and where 
I want to UNhilte the index.

I tried had:
...
set the hilitedrow of widget "index" to "0"
...
set the hilitedrow of widget "index" to 0
...
set the pgHilitedText of widget "index" to ""
...
set the pgHilitedText of widget "index" to EMPTY
...
no dice!?

i'm not sure what we're supposed to do with the png since we can't see the

See here, I have a long list of PDF files and clicking the widget "index" will 
filter the PDF list with that char.


Clicking button "A-Z" will the display all the files.
I need to UNhilite the index in that button.

No idea why it does not work? But the workaround does, so problem solved (for 
me and for now).

Re: Mdiai Keys - volume / play/pause/next...

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Whoops! You were talking about media keys of course. I DO get values in a 
rawKeyUp handler for arrow keys and the others I mentioned. Not for the media 
keys though. You can just see why. All the other keys are part of a standard 
ANSI style keyboard. The media keys are not so far as I can tell, as common as 
it is to have them on a virtually every desktop keyboard these days.

I have in the past was unable to trap a key event for arrow keys. I think 
Jacque is right I do not think the system deals with arrow keys the way other 
keys work. They do not send any kind of ascii code, so LC would have to monitor 
them differently. Does the insert, home page up and page down buttons return 
anything? If not then I think that validates the idea that LC is only looking 
for ASCII style events.

Re: Windows Standalone strands windows tasks

[Eller, Roger via use-livecode]

I primarily develop for Windows, and haven't experienced this since my early 
rookie years.  I believe the secret is to have the line "set destroyStack to 
true" in every stack so that when it closes, nothing lingers in memory.  Then, 
when you actually quit, it all goes away.

Thanks I'll give that a try. I think I am already quitting the splash stack, 
because my MacOS works properly, but the second part I never knew about. 
Unfortunately my Apple laptop is in the shop so I won't be able to test until 
Monday.

add this to the script your mainstack:
-
on closestack
  close stack "your splash stack here"
  ## do more closestack stuff
end closestack
-
That should do the trick.

Hint:
To avoid this "Windows feature:

add a dummy handler to your standalone/splash stack script:
-
on relaunch
   ## NADA!
end relaunch

Re: Me and target of script widgets

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

also brutal answer:
documentation needs to be not just extended, but written for the property
inspector and property editor, or you are going to be spinning your wheels
trying to figure out that thing, too.
this same issue has made writing lcb widgets so exceptionally painful that
i've stopped wasting my time.
the answer from the mothership has been "if you have some specific
question, ask," which, of course leads to a slew of questions, which then
go mostly or entirely unanswered.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
