Title: Busy cursor - wait while quicktime sound is played.
Hello RunRev support.
ITinfo & INDesign has 3 professionel licenses.
Platform
Present Rev. version and OS: Revolution 1.1.1 on Mac OS X 10.2.2 (but it would be rather nice i compatible with Win/Mac OS 9 as well).
Question
We previously used the external Record sound to record sounds and store them.
And when playing the files we could use “wait until the sound is done. And it worked perfect!
How do we get the pause/busy cursor effect with the “record sound file” quicktimeformat.
In some cases we need to play 6-36 sentences with one script – and we need to make the script wait until the previous one has finished before starting the next. And even when only playing one we want the cursor to be “busy” and to make it impossible for the user to interfere while the sound is playing. “Wait until the sound is done” did this, but doesnt work with the QT files.
Best regards

Ps. our old and new scripts pasted here:
First the old aif external example – record and playing in the same script:
on srtoptag
get extInit(MacinfoBA,3050298)
put glbstilfilsti & "ress/sounds/opgavelyde/" & glbLydnavn & ".aif" into tempSOUND
ext_recordSound tempSOUND,1
set the cursor to busy
play tempSOUND
wait until the sound is done
end srtoptag
The new scripts that works perfectly well, except for the missing cursorbusy pause. First the record script and then the play script:
We are recording and storing sound files on the disk with this script:
on srtoptagopgavelyd
global glbglosefilsti
global glblydformat
global glbopgavenummer
record sound file (glbglosefilsti & "ress/sounds/opgavelyde/opgavetale" & glbopgavenummer &".mov")as glblydformat
end srtoptagopgavelyd
glbglosefilsti is the path to the folder with our revolution stack.
glblydformat is where we deside what sound format to use.
glbopgavenummer is the specifik sound number.
We are playing the sound files with this script:
on srtafspilopgavelyd
global glbglosefilsti
global glbopgavenummer
play videoclip (glbglosefilsti & "ress/sounds/opgavelyde/opgavetale" & glbopgavenummer &".mov")
end srtafspilopgavelyd
