Do please contact me off-list if you wish. DLL solutions also considered,
subject to funding.
Situation:
I have a substantial language program which plays a text until the mouse is
released, moving a grc underscore line to show the word being spoken. Each
"word" is an individual sound file; mc simply plays them consecutively.
This results in something of a bumpy ride.
Idea:
Re-record the sound files as a single QT sound movie and time-index it for
each word, taking advantage of mc2.3 support for qt.
Problems:
- How to time-index the sound movie so it knows where to start playing
- How to trap when to move the underscore line to the next position
- Whether there are enough mc qt params planned to accommodate this
Hint:
- The "text" is, in fact, a graphic of Arabic text overlayed with
transparent buttons to trap word-located mouseclicks.
Has anyone worked on anything like this, or am I the only one nutty enough
to try?
