Re: Currently playing song on iPod Touch

Actually, now that I remember better I DID troubleshoot this a bit and found 
that it had to do with my using a Kensington trackball. The Kensington driver 
is getting in the way I think so belay my last.

I've not seen this except in this one stack. That's why I wonder about  
something going funky with the AppleScript messages.

I haven't tried to pass this around much, because for reasons I  
can't track down, clicks sometimes disappear into emptiness with no  
response, sometimes mousemove doesn't trigger the tooltip display,  
etc. Something is swallowing system messages, or maybe the  
AppleScript messages are going awry, anyway it's occasionally a bit  
unpredictable. But I use it when I'm working in the IDE and want to  
listen to some MP3s. Handy because I don't have to change gears  
when the phone rings, just click to pause, and answer the call.

I will say that I have had a long staning issue in Livecode where I have to 
hold the mouse button a bit longer for the click to register. That may be your 
problem. I have not troubleshot this at all, but of course the first thing to 
do is remove all your plugins (except the one you are testing) and restart 
Livecode.

Re: Currently playing song on iPod Touch

Tom McGrath put together an iTunesLibrary in LC. I can't seem to find  
it in my LC files, but I'm sure he would make it available to you. I  
used his library to make a little thing called iTunesWidget. Pop it  
into your plugins folder, and any time you're running in the IDE, you  
can open it up and use it to control iTunes without leaving LC. It's a  
little 32-pixel round customwindowshape stack that can be set as a  
systemwindow if you want, uses AppleScript to manage iTunes' basic  
functions. Very simple: click to start/pause iTunes, cmd-click to go  
to iTunes, opt-drag to move widget, ctrl-click or right-click for  
option menu. Hovering over the widget displays the current track,  
album, and artist in a tooltip. You can get it at:

If you can't find Tom's library stack, look at the stack script in the  
widget for ideas on what you're trying to do. Tom did the real work  
for this, I really just adapted his scripts.

Is there a way to see data like that in a LiveCode app? Probably not  
'out of the box'. Is there a workaround? I know Xcode can do it. So  
is there someone who can make an external to do this? At what cost?  
Can LiveCode for iOS use externals?


Any help is greatly appreciated.
