Hi Klaus and bn

Thanks so much for your help. Got it working now!!

One thing I don't understand is if you can state 'play stop videoClip' and it stops whatever video is playing, why does 'play pause videoClip' not work in the same way?

Anyway, I'm getting there! Thanks again

Clive

Hi Klaus

Just to let you know the 'play videoClip' command worked a treat.
All plays now.

Thanks so much for your help on this. Appreciate it.

This is my script in the stack script: on preOpenStack set the loc of this stack to the screenLoc if the platform is "Win32" then set the dontUseQT to true if the platform is "Win64" then set the dontUseQT to true p...

(I set the location of my mpg into the variable myPath) set the fileName of last player to myPath if not (there is a file myPath) then beep answer error "Can't find file" && myPath else if the platform is "Win32"...

Thanks Mark
I agree and you're right, I do need to learn this. I'm still getting to grips with coding in Rev for more complex things but as always, I have time constraints especially with this current project.

Hence, SparkOut, your little work around has helped fill this gap.

Thank you both.

Hi Mark Can I not say... if the revCopyFolder is done, show a window? I tried this: if revCopyFolder is done then answer "The folder has finished copying" with "OK" if it is "OK" then quit end if Didn't work though although I didn't get any script errors. So in other words, could I get round this by...

Hiya Could someone let me know where I should look in order to get Revolution to provide a copy progress for what I'm trying to do? The user has two folders on a cdrom. I have a little stack installer (autoruns from the cdrom) which asks them for the destination and then via revCopyFolder, it copies...

Thanks shadowslash But isn't there a way to tell Windows and MacOS to show its own progress bar as it would any copying of folders normally? If the revCopyFolder is able to copy all the files and subfolders within it without having to specify every file, can't this drive a progress bar itself? Thanks

System progress bar

Hi Everyone (again!) I have a quasi installer stack which simply asks the user to select a location for a folder and then my script copies the folder from the cdrom into that location. It all works fine however since the folder is around 350Mb, I wondered if its possible to get a copy progress bar u...

Hi Mark Thanks for your response. I have actually managed to get a script which works on Windows now after some trial and error: on mouseUp if the platform is "MacOS" then set the itemDel to slash put "file://" into myCD put item 1 to -5 of the effective filename of this stack into myPath put "/PDFs...
