Re: Changing Image FileName Based on QT Time...?
Hi John, Thanks Klaus! I'll check out the currenttime of player call in the morning. I was not aware of currentTime of player. Would this be used on an idle script? NO!!! Never use on idle or you will get eternal damnation!!! :-D (At least as evil as repeat until the mouse is UP!) Instead use send xyz... in abc... Something like: If currentTime is 2 then set fileName of image xyz to slides/slide1.jpg else if currentTime is 25000 then set fileName of image xyz to slides/slide2.jpg ... Well almost, but i would rather use a switch...case... handler in this case MUCH MORE readable and less harmful, since there are so many possibilities to use if...then that 1. most of the time you cannot oversee it with one glance 2. you forget one end if almost EVERYTIME ;-) Like this: ##Start the player: on mouseup ## or whenever... start player xyz check_the_time end mouseup on check_the_time put the currenttime of player xyz into CT switch case CT 2 AND CT 1 set fileName of image xyz to slides/slide1.jpg break case CT 3 AND CT 2 set fileName of image xyz to slides/slide2.jpg break ... end switch if CT the duration of player xyz then ## Sound is not yet finished, so we might have to check again... send check_the_time to me in abc millisecs end if end check_the_time Get the picture? But see below... Am i on the right track? Yo, but i would suggset to let the player-object do all the work :-) I mean set and use the callbacks of the player to trigger your change of images... I just uploaded a tiny stack Fun with callbacks to REV-unline - klausimausi ;-) That will get you started (hopefully) with callbacks, which are a very powerful, yet quite unknown feature of REV. Thanks again! Drop a line (even offlist, if you like) if you need further inof/assistance...

Re: Changing Image FileName Based on QT Time...?
The other way is to generate a SMIL file which can then be played back in the QT player. You can then set the QT Player to open the file which is a SMIL file. This is a text file containing XML code telling the QT player how/where/when other media can be synchronized. That way, you don't have to use any idle scripts but just playback the SMIL file. Check the Apple web site for examples. You probably might want to develop a little editor in Revolution to generate the text file.

Re: Changing image fileName Based on QT Time...?
Great Klaus! I'll check out the sample on your site. I do remember previous mentions about the dangers of idle. In my attempts to synch up my slides with audio i began looking at creating a QT SMIL movie using Rev to create the SMIL document. I made some progress after familiarizing myself with SMIL tags, but I was hoping to stay within Rev to do this. Not sure where the SMIL tests would have lead I'll check out the example and try some switch statements in conjuction with the callbacks. Thanks Again!

Changing Image FileName Based on QT Time...?
Hi All! Is it possible to change the FileName of an image depending on the time in a QuickTime movie. I have a bunch of slides I'm trying to synch up with an audio only movie. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks in Advance!! John Patten Tech Dept SBCUSD ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Changing Image FileName Based on QT Time...?
Hi John, Hi All! Is it possible to change the FileName of an image depending on the time in a QuickTime movie. Do you mean naming the images after the currenttime of player xyz - 12345.jpg? Sure, why not, should not be a problem :-) If you would like to automate this task, then you need 2 lists, the currenttimes of the player, where a specific image should appear and a list of all the images, preferrably in the correct order :-) I have a bunch of slides I'm trying to synch up with an audio only movie. Set the callbacks of that player with a nifty script and that should work fine ;-) Does anyone have any advice? Please drop a line if my hints are not really helpful ;-) I will think about it in the meantime! Thanks in Advance!!
