How can I make the source of a player object an audio clip rather than an external file? I don't want it linking to an external file that I have to include with the stack. I want all image and audio files included in the stack.

Hi luv,

Use Import as Control (in the File menu). Note that the number of formats that work as control is limited.

That won't work, because it is a midi. I can see how to play an audioClip with the play command, and how to play an externally referenced file in a player object. How do I play an audioClip (midi in Quicktime format) with a player object? Or otherwise play a Quicktime movie not as an externally referenced file, but as audio stored in the stack?

luv,

I think you understand by now that what you want is impossible with RR/LC.

If you want to embed a sound file in your stack, you might save it in a custom property for distribution. When the stack opens on someone else's computer, write the file to the temp folder and use it from there.

Hi,

you can't play any not referenced file in a player object!
Import the clip into the stack, write it back to disk when necessarry (specialfoderpath("temporary")) and the set the filename of a player.
