Is this a bug?
The code below successfully creates and plays the selected file.
But I can't get the duration of the loaded file until AFTER the play command is issued.
thanks in advance

Code: Select all
mobileControlCreate "player", "aPlayer"
put mobileControlGet ("aPlayer", "id") into gAndPlayerID
mobileControlSet gAndPlayerID, "visible", true
mobileControlSet gAndPlayerID, "rect", "4, 4, 363, 285"
mobileControlSet gAndPlayerID, "showController", false
mobileControlSet gAndPlayerID, "filename", gSelectedMedia
-- calling this function at this point doesn't return the player duration
-- confused because the file is loaded so why wouldn't the duration be know?
put mobileControlGet (gAndPlayerID, "duration") into field "theDuration" -- returns -1
-- after the play command the duration is returned as expected.
mobileControlDo gAndPlayerID, "play"
put mobileControlGet (gAndPlayerID, "duration") into field "theDuration" -- returns the correct duration
