Hi Rev World,

I have a function that I currently use two buttons for, Start and Stop. How do I combine those functions into one button so that the first click starts a media file (start player), clicking again stops the file (stop player)? I also want the stop to reset it to the beginning ready for another 'start' click.

Thanks in advance

Hi G,

just make a button and set the script to:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put the label of me into myLabel
   if myLabel is not "Stop" then 
      set the label of me to "Stop"
      start player 1
   else
      set the label of me to "Start"
      stop player 1
      -- this resets the player to the beginning
      set the currenttime of player 1 to 0
   end if
end mouseUp

regards
Bernd

G,

you might want to add to the script of the player:

Code: Select all

on  playstopped
   set the label of button 1 to "Start"
end playstopped

That will set the label of the start/stop button to start once the player is done.
