on openCard of the intro card, I can hear but not see the video. What does this mean? Why does the audio portion of it play and not the visual portion play?

I don't usually put folders for development on my desktop but I did in this instance because there was a path in the code that pointed to the desktop. The names of the folders are the same and the location is the same. (Code is the same too...)

Hi Linda,
This is a bug that has been reported as fixed in 6.7 and 7.0 but I'm seeing the same as you with those versions, maybe try one of the latest RC's
Works fine in 6.6.5

Great! I am glad that I am not misunderstanding the code.

Happy Holidays Everyone,

Here is the bug report

Not sure which versions it's actually fixed in.

On other thing....
In the pdf file for Lesson 1, on page 12, it has these instructions.

Open the Code Editor for the Index card by selecting Card Script from the Object Menu and update the openCard handler

Code: Select all

on openCard
if the environment is "mobile" then
send "playMobileVideo" to me in 0 milliseconds else
play videoClip (specialfolderpath("desktop")&"/BitterRevenge/Video/Intro.mp4")
end if
end openCard

Is this supposed to be in the card script for the "Index" card or better yet, the "Intro" card since the video is supposed to play in the Intro card?

Hi Lida,
I don't have that pdf but that is the card script for the Intro card yes.
Not the Index card.

You can see a portion of the video in 6.6.5 but not as demo'd in the Lesson. I guess properties of the player need to be changed to make the video the same size as the card.

Hi Linda,
All I used was the same code you posted for the Intro card.
The video resized itself to fit the card.

Hi Simon,

I'm using version 7.0.1-rc 1 and it still only plays the sound and not the video. Any recommendations? I've tried using a player and that works, sort of, but I can't get the "On playStopped" handler to work. Instead the system hangs and I must force quit. I can't find a command that will enable the player to say when it's done playing.

Hi Eric,
You can try it with version 6.6.5

Hi Simon,

I downloaded the version you recommended, but it won't open my 7.0.1 file, so I will need to start over from scratch. I think I'll just skip the page. A pity though, I hope you get a version working soon.

Hi Eric,
In ver 7 use Save As...
That will allow you to save your stack in a legacy format and open it in 6.6.5

Simon

[ericleesmith]

Hi Simon,
The choices I have on Save As are 5.5, 2.7, and 2.4 only.
Eric

[Simon]

Hi Eric,
Just save as 5.5.
This is not the same as the version number of liveCode that you are using but I believe it is the file format that it's saved in. errr... just save in 5.5 and open in 6.x

HI Simon,

Thanks for the advice. I'll wait until the bug is fixed.
