Audio Drag & Drop

[Damlimey]

Hi there,

Actually, I have two things I want to ask. Does anybody know if it is possible to drag an audio file and drop it on a button to load it ready for play? Also, If I have several buttons loaded with tracks ready to play, how do I get runtime to allocate an available player assuming I have more than one player in the stack?

Thanks in advance for any help,

G

look for #024 Managing drag and drop #2
and
#010 How to manage drag and drop for files and folders

How to manage drag and drop for multiple files and/or folders, how to know the right kind of data for each file and how to display this data in a field, an image or a player.

for audio you might look at:

Generally you set the filename of a player to an audio file and then you
start player "yourPlayerName"
look up player in the dictionary and the pdf
So I dont know what you mean by having loaded a button.
I would store the pathnames of your audio files in field for example and then from a button you could set the filename of a player to line x of field y and then start the player. When the player is done it sends the message playStopped, you could then start the next audio file.
many ways to do this.
