I'am trying to write a small program that plays movies files on my server.

On the server in command line I can type in {play 1 amb} and than movie amb is being played

In live code I can create a button. That plays that file.
{write "play 1 amb " & format("\r\n") to socket "localhost:5250"} (thanks Sturgis )

Now I have a small piece of script that puts files from a dir into a scrolling list field.

What i'am now looking for is a way to play the file that is select in my scrolling list field on my server

Should be something like
write "play 1

" & format("\r\n") to socket "localhost:5250"

How to get the tekst from the scrolling list field into that code??

Kind regards
Ivo

Hi Ivo,

try something like this in the script of that scrolling list field with teh files:

Code: Select all

on mouseup
  put the selectedtext of me into tFile
  put "play 1" && tFile && "format("\r\n") into tSocketString
  write tSocketString to socket "localhost:5250"
end mouseup

Not tested but should work.. (Famous last words

)

Best

Thanks,

It worked.

Another question, what if i would like to add some tekst to tFile later on.
tFile contains my selected text and i want to add the word 'twice'

So tFile would than contain the selected movie
Match
And the added word
Twice

Kind regards and many thanks for your help
