Docs?!!!

Hi Klaus, I started writing code for the first time in my 50 years on this earth when I bought Runtime just over a month ago. I've had to start from a very real blank canvass. I've tried very hard not to raise queries on this forum unless I can't find the answer within the material I have to hand. T...

Blinking Ticks!

Hi all,

I have a button that I would like to flash between two colors as the player it controls reaches the last 5 seconds of the file being played.

I'm sure I can do this with the 'blinkrate' but the dictionary isn't completely clear how to use the command...

Any clues out there?

Best

A QT question

Hi all,

I've just updated my version of Quick Time but does that mean the QT player object has been updated?

If not, can I?

Does it matter?

Best,D

3 player questions

Hi there, I have some questions about the player object in Rev. (Q Player) 1. I find that setting the player to loop results in some of the beginning of the audio file being missed, is there another player object available or an alternative way of looping the Q player. 2. Does anybody know how to se...

I hope you realise...

Every time you send me a hint and a line of code like that, you give me the boost I need to carry on and the possibilities open up for me and my project!

Thank you for that, hopefully, this will keep me quiet for a while!

All the best,

Okay, so I made Harold a sub-stack

When I call 'Harold' with a menu command, up it pops and on it I place my slider to control the gain of the player on the main stack. Thing is, now the slider on Harold doesn't see the player on the main-stack. I also gave Harold a button to close it set the visible of stack "Audio stack" to false s...

That's great!

Thanks for that, but say I wanted to put a couple of objects like a volume slider, a tick box for loop on/off and some other switches on a separate hidden thing. Would that thing be a stack, a card or a group, and how would I call that?

Thanks in advance...

Hidden objects

Hi everyone, Thanks for all the valuable help that you guys are providing me with, I'm getting my head around all this pretty well but once again, I need a nudge in the right direction. I want to hide a couple of objects from my stack, call them with a menu item, make adjustments with the objects on...

Thank you Malte

I have found another approach which is shown here... on mouseUp mouseButtonNumber if mouseButtonNumber = 1 then do leftclickstuff if mouseButtonNumber = 3 then do rightclickstuff end mouseUp This looks like a more elegant way to proceed but I do have another question... Now that I have a pop up menu...

Stuck on a right click

First of all, my thanks to jansschenkel and shadowslash for their help with this but I've come unstuck. Here's an example of how I've tried to set up a player start/stop button with a right click menu option, maybe someone can tell me where I've gone wrong... start/stop button code: on mouseUp if pM...

That does it...

Hi Guys, Yes, that does the trick, that's all I needed to know at this stage. Now I can load and unload a music file from the player. Next step is to put the unload option into the right click menu and I can move onto the next mystery. The device I'm trying to create is essentially for sound enginee...

Hi Shadowslash...

I'm building an audio player and as I'm on a massive learning curve here, I've built several basic stacks and I use each stack to work out and test one or two simple functions at a time. The plan is to have a button which I can load with a music file and then play it when I click the button. However...
