Interesting thread.
Thinking laterally, when you make a filmloop out of the score, 'the lastChannel'
is always the last *occupied* channel, not the lastChannel in the score.
So what about this?
on getHighestOccupiedChannel
f = new(#filmloop)
f.media = the score
s = 1
m = sprite(s).member
sprite(s).member = f
updatestage -- important!!!
tell sprite s
highestOccupied = the lastChannel
end tell
-- clean up...
sprite(s).member = m
f.erase()
return highestOccupied
end
This is working for me. No repeat loops, just a screen update so that you can
'tell' the filmloop stuff. 'Doesn't get puppeted channels though.
