I am mentoring a very smart older man who is a complete LiveCode newbie who is
on Windows
He was trying to get a player "PlayMySounds" to work with pretty "bad" results.
I advised him to set up his project like this
MyLiveCode Project (folder)
myFirstLCSTack.livecode
/audio
/listenToBirds.mp3
/img
/data
If he set the filename of a player from inside the inspector… and choses the
"listenToBirds.mp3"
the file name would appear something like
:/C:/MyDrive/LiveCode/MyLiveCodeProject/audio/listenToBirds.mp3
If he clicked play to start the player… the audio plays as expected
changing the path to a relative path:
file: audio/listenToBirds.mp3 oin the inspector… the player will plays the file.
if we try to create a button
on mouseUp
start player "PlayMeSounds"
end mouseup
the player simply jumped to the end… but you *can* still hit the play icon on
the control itself and the sound plays.
if we removed the filename from the player, in the inspector then strange
things happen.
The player disappears from the screen, but it's vis prop is still true! If you
select it in the Project Browser, it appears on the card with dotted line
around it but no player inside.
??
I advised him to upgrade to 8.1.0… I hope that was a good idea
