Ok, so again, the faders are for volume/pan only, not for stuttering the
movie, ie flipping the movietime around, right? The movietime is constant.
Originally I was going to say each mixer sprite has it's own enterframe
but I think that's 16x the overhead...
since a user can only drag something for one channel at a time, I'd
definately do one overseer action that records each movement/pan/vol as
this
time: [#channel: 1, #type: #volume, #value: 100], ....
And time being how much ticks since the application was recorded/played,
or have a timeout for each second, or make the first moviechannel be the
master, etc etc. The 'clock' you use is up to you.
then on enterframe
on enterframe me
if theCurrenttime < dupedList.getPropAt(1) then
thisItem = dupedList[1]
-- if you want to do sendsprite you could
sendSprite(thisItem.channel, #changeValue, thisitem.type,
thisitem.value)
dupedList.deleteAt(1)
end if
end
