Hi Scott, Thanks for the tip. That's actually where I started with all this. Please bear with me on this somewhat lengthy explanation. I made this player as kind of an iTunes lite so I could just play tracks from my iTunes library without the extra bloat of iTunes. First time it runs, it asks f

Hi Pete: Many years ago I ran into path issues with players and (from my notes) wound up with a workaround that involved using the “full” file path like this: set fileName of player 1 to \ "file:///volumes/primary/users/dude/really_long_filename_here.mp3” I also had in my notes to specificall

Re: How to access a file on a remote computer

I'm almost there. The reason I'm looking into this is because I'm setting the filename of a player control to the name of a mp3 file on a remote computer. I thought I had it all working but the player control does not like filenames with an ampersand in them. I tried escaping the ampersand with

Hi Richard, how exactly does this only extract the thumbnail portion of a huge (10 MB) photo from disk and use it in an image object? (I guess I should have made myself clearer, I am talking about the thumbnail image that is stored in the EXIF data of the image). My problem is that it takes "fo

acceleratedRendering and transparency

I have a scrolling field. The list has every other line's backgroundcolor set to (100,100,100)/(125,125,125). The background image is visible behind the field. This was dog slow on some mobile devices. I turned on acceleratedRendering and the field scrolls is as fast as any native coded app. Great!

Thanks All! You folks are the best. This all makes sense! I ran Peter's script and viola the stack is 9kb. The revUnplacedGroupIDs properties should be documented. What other useful undocumented properties are out there? My philosophy was to create a card just to hold all the groups that I might

Re: Garbage Collection/Old Data in stack

I have to ask . . . how does one end up with unplaced groups? Once a group has been placed on a card and is then removed from all cards on which it appeared, it is unplaced. The group remains in the stack so it can be used again. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI
