Thank you for your response, Neil. I can’t include the audio files in the standalone. My program is a text processor that allows foreign language teachers to create hypermedia texts by linking information to specific words. Then when students click on the words, a translation will appear as well as ...

Can anyone give me a script for a stack that uses the player object to play an external audio file? The trick is, the stack has to be portable so that I can move it to another computer and the player will still work, in other words, the player will still 'see' the mp3 file no matter which computer i...

Klaus, Your statement to not rely heavily on QT because its days are numbered worries me. I use the QT player object to play external audio and video files. Is LC going to stop supporting QT or will it provide an alternative way to play external videos and audios? Since LC 7 made changes to the play...

Thank you Simon. I am using Livecode 7.0.4 so according to the bug report, this should be resolved. In any case, your reply helps narrow down my search for an answer so I appreciate your response.

Summary: I link an external audio file to a player. Everything works fine unless I move it to another computer. Then the player is 'dead'. I have a stack that is located inside the folder 'TestPlayer2'. There is a sub-folder called 'AudioFolder' also located inside the main folder 'TestPlayer2'. Ins...

I think if I present the problem in the following way, it will be easier to suggest a solution: I created a text processor that enables foreign language teachers to make hypermedia instructional materials for their students. The text processor, FLAn (fForeign Language Annotator) is downloaded from a...

I know selecting the file will generate the path automatically, but what happens when the unit (main folder, subfolders, external files) are moved to another computer. Now the initial step identifying the hard drive will be wrong. That's why I have to shorten the path to start with the Main folder. ...

Jacque, here's the code: ---------------------------------------------------- answer file "Select a file." --opens file browser to select file. set the itemDel to slash put "../"&item -3 of the longfilepath of it&"/"&item -2 of the longfilepath of it&"/"&last item of it into fld "textaudiofilename" ...

When I create the new stack with the standalone, it is save with a name and I can see the newly created stack file in the folder before I import the media. Since my last post I tried this on Windows 7 and the files open with no problem. I'm working mostly with OSX 10.9.5. Since the problem exists in...

When I create the new stack, I give it a name and save it in the main folder at the top level, same place where the standalone application is. I can see the new stack file in the folder before I import the media files. It's as if the stack that's open and the file that I see in the folder aren't the...

I have a standalone application in a folder. Within that folder is a sub-folder containing .mp3 or .mov files. The standalone uses a template (template.rev) to create a new stack which is saved in the same folder on the same level as the standalone. The new stack has a button for importing the media...

Problem: Using LC7 dp, (Commercial Edition) when I try to build a standalone for Mac OS and Windows, the Mac build comes through, but for Windows I get the following error statement: "There was an error while saving the standalone application. Build failed for Windows: i/o error." I'm using a MacBoo...

I've done the lock screen approach. I ended up creating a new button from scratch and now it seems to work. That button was probably 7 years old and it seems it just got corrupted somehow. I've had some issues since upgrading from LC5 to LC6, one being a GIF image that caused the stack to crash unde...

My stack has an area where a text field surrounded with an ornamental frame image can appear, and when the user activates a player with video that appears in the same area, the text field and image hide and the video shows. When the user toggles the other direction, the text field and image reappear...

I have found out what was causing my stack to crash although I don't understand why. The stack didn't crash with LC 5.5.1 but with all versions of LC 6x it did. A GIF image was somehow causing the program to crash. Once I removed it, the stack didn't crash anymore. I've saved and quit several times ...
