Load audio files (by default) in LiveCode 8

Post by Fermin »

Hi, please...

In LiveCode 8, how can I load (by code, 'set the filename of player...') an audio file into an object player?. It seems that, by default, only allows videos.

It is possible from the inspector because in the dialog box you can choose the format (Videos, Audio Files, All Media Files, All Files) but from a script I get the message: "could not create reference movie"

In LiveCode 7 does not exist the problem.

Thank you very much...
Klaus

Hola Fermin,

hm, just made a quick test with LC 8.01 RC1 and this:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   set the filename of player 1 to "/Users/klaus/Downloads/Airto Moreira - Seeds On the Ground - 1971.mp3"
end mouseUp
works as exspected!
Any special audio format that does not load?


Best

What a shame!. My error in a character. Today is my first day with LiveCode 8 and I have been very impatient.
Thank you very much, Klaus, for answering so quickly.
