I've put together a stack of movies that I want my students to view using the script:
play
I imported the videos into my stack and have 11 video clips on 11 cards and all works fine.
I now need the script to do a couple other things but, being a newbe, can't figure them out. I've searched this site but haven't been able to find the answers.
1. What script will get the Quicktime controller to show? I want the students to be able to stop and rewind the video clip.
2. How can I get the video clip to quit and disappear when they go to the next card? I've attempted to use the script - stop playing videocli" - but it doesn't stop the clip much less get rid of it.
I've used HyperStudio for many years and did some scripting but not much. I'm sure it's simple but I cannot figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi BarbaraValenzuela, welcome to the forums

Which version of Lc are you using, and which OS are you on?

If you are using a newer version of the IDE, I believe Quicktime is no longer used.

Hi Barbara,

unfortunately the "controller" will only be available if you use external video-files!
This does not work with imported video- and audiofiles!

With imported videos you need to create your own controls:

Code: Select all

...
## Stop a video
play stop "name of videoclip"
...
## Pause a video
play pause "name of videoclip"
...
## Continue a videoclip
play resume "name of videoclip"
...

Check "play" in the dictionary for further info.

Unfortunately the PLAY command does not support as much videoformats as a "player" object.
So maybe you want to use external files.

Best

Klaus
