Heya Folks,
Anyone got a command / function lying around that will find a USB stick on Mac/Win and return a path to it?
Warm regards,
A.

Bug - Player Object in 4.6.4 OSX
Hiya Folks, Can anyone verify this one? Pretty weird. If agreed, can someone who access quality control access report it perhaps? It's a bit of a doozy. Test stack + vid available here: http://db.tt/Mp0GzhDE Basically it seems as though in LC IDE 4.6.4 the player object dimensions of height and widt...

Re: How do I create a function call w/variable no. of params?
Yea, The only reason I put the array in the example was to cater for the scenario that the variables came from a variety of sources, rather than one field. Of course, it would be still possible to construct a simple string of these too.... it's either construct, or deconstruct - depending on optimis...

Re: player looping problem
I'm yet to test it, but apparently the 'seamlessLoop' command in Enhanced QT helps with this.

Re: How do I create a function call w/variable no. of params?
Hiya Diane, Here's my take on your question. (attached) It's based on using an array (which is populated via a repeat loop) as the parameter that you send to the function. You may need to amend the repeat loop depending on your data sources. I've used standard editable fields in the example. The scr...

Custom Control performance with a backgroundPattern
Hiya Gang, scenario: stack at 1024 x 768 with a number of cards. cards contain a number of custom controls for user. (multimedia app) when using a 1024 x 768 imported background image file (around 800k... pre-optimised) as the 'backgroundPattern' for the stack / card, all the custom controls are slu...

Syncing Playback of multiple audio files.
Hiya Folks, Just sharing a tiny bit of love here....that has replaced oodles of complexity with attempts at, callbacks that don't work in loop mode, custom timers etc... If you have a bunch of audio samples that you want to trigger from a single event, and would like them to playback in time, it's h...

Re: Looping video and callbacks - guidance anyone?
Hiya Bernd, Well, I would love to get to the bottom of this if possible. Please find attached a copy of your stack (slightly revised with some explanatory button names, but no script changes) AND the movie file in question here that i'm getting the unstable performance with on callbacks. I'm running...

Re: Looping video and callbacks - guidance anyone?
Bernd, Thank you. I really think the issue may be something to do with an LC memory management or caching issue during playback which inadvertently blocks or suspends callbacks. I loaded a number of different movies (.movs, but i note that yours was a referenced .avi file) into your test stack and w...

Re: Looping video and callbacks - guidance anyone?
Still working on this one guys. I've tried Klaus's suggestion and am getting the same result. Callbacks work OK on first playthrough, but not subsequent ones. Bernds solution of a manual restart to create the loop playback works reasonably well, but it still really does seem hit and miss with the ca...

Looping video and callbacks - guidance anyone?
Heya Folks, I have the feeling that this is an old chestnut, but thought I would check... Just tried to implement some callbacks based logic from a player object playing a LOOPING video. Seems that the callbacks are registered OK for the first run, but cannot hear boo from them after that inside a l...

I was clicking the connect button, but it just reverted back to disconnect. I tried registering with a few different logins etc.. but no joy. Any pointers on why I wasn't ab...
