Is it supposed to be done in code? How would I go about playing a sound from NotePlayer? I know this is a stupid question, but I just can't seem to find the NotePlayer control and can't get the note playing code to work that is in the RB language reference.

You can still create a NotePlayer object by adding a new class in the Project tab and changing the "Super" property to "NotePlayer". _________________ Philip Regan RB2K7r4 - RB2K8r3, Mac OS 10.5, Intel, Mac-centric development Treasurer - Association of REALBasic Professionals Top brianheibert.com Post subject: Re: Playing a notePosted: Mon Oct 20, 2008 12:37 pm Joined: Thu Jan 25, 2007 7:38 pm Posts: 371 Location: Loveland, OH USA Ok thanks _________________ Brian Heibert http://www.brianheibert.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] Top paulg Post subject: Re: Playing a notePosted: Tue Oct 21, 2008 7:32 pm Joined: Thu Oct 05, 2006 11:45 pm Posts: 116 pregan wrote:The NotePlayer control has been deprecated, but not eliminated.

According to this: http://www.realsoftware.com/products/realbasic/deprecations It has been "Deemphasized", not deprecated. Not sure if that means they are next on the chopping block or not, but it seems it is better then deprecated->removed.

That's the question though, is it the same difference? If it is then it is odd that they just don't say Deprecated and put them in one of the deprecated lists. Why cause confusion?

Although deprecated features remain in the current version, their use may raise warning messages recommending alternate practices, and deprecation may indicate that the feature will be removed in the future. Features are deprecatedârather than being removedâin order to provide backward compatibility and give programmers using the feature time to bring their code into compliance with the new standard. Also from the same entry: Quote:Reasons for deprecation Programmers or standards-makers may choose to deprecate a feature for any number of reasons. Some common cases are:... ⪠The feature is considered extraneous, and will be removed in the future in order to simplify the system as a whole. So what if I didn't use REALbasic's exact term? The meaning was inferred.

Apple has made it official that Quicktime is to no longer be used MIDI purposes, which is what NotePlayer uses, and everything is to be moved to CoreAudio. However, that is a much more complex set of classes to maintain, almost too complex, and I'm sure RS has it on their lists so they can maintain those features that people actually use. So matter how you look at it, it's the same difference. _________________ Philip Regan RB2K7r4 - RB2K8r3, Mac OS 10.5, Intel, Mac-centric development Treasurer - Association of REALBasic Professionals Top paulg Post subject: Re: Playing a notePosted: Wed Oct 22, 2008 12:37 pm Joined: Thu Oct 05, 2006 11:45 pm Posts: 116 Quote:So what if I didn't use REALbasic's exact term?

Wow, don't take it so personal I was merely pointing out what is stated on the RB site because I wanted to know exactly what the difference is and it seemed to me that maybe there was a difference. _________________ This message made with 100% recycled pixels. -- REALbasic 2008r4.1 MacBook CD 2.0, 2GB RAM, 160GB HD OS X 10.5.5 Top timhare Post subject: Re: Playing a notePosted: Wed Oct 22, 2008 1:07 pm Joined: Fri Jan 06, 2006 3:21 pm Posts: 3565 Location: Portland, OR USA My understanding of the difference is: Deemphasized = soon to be deprecated, unless we find a reason not to Deprecated = soon to be removed, adjust your code accordingly Tim Top mrebar Post subject: Re: Playing a notePosted: Wed Oct 22, 2008 1:38 pm Joined: Wed Feb 15, 2006 1:30 pm Posts: 2229 Location: U.S.A (often) Spokane, Eugene, Pago Pago Quote:My understanding of the difference is: I agree with your distinction, Tim. I thought we were informed that the rough schedule was movement from Deemphasized to Deprecated in one release, then to Removal in the following release. Michael Top paulg Post subject: Re: Playing a notePosted: Wed Oct 22, 2008 3:36 pm Joined: Thu Oct 05, 2006 11:45 pm Posts: 116 Thanks for the clarification. So basically, based on this information, you don't want to spend too much time learning or using these technologies as they might not be there next year? Do you know if there is a set time that they stay on the Deemphasized list before moving to the deprecated list? Or is it more when they find a replacement?

By the way my application is finished. CopyMate. It copies and moves files. Requires MacOS X (It will not run on OS 9 and below) Download at: http://www.brianheibert.net/software/copymate.dmg.zip Or just go to http://www.brianheibert.net and click on Software Brian Heibert [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.brianheibert.net Top TomHicks Post subject: Re: Playing a notePosted: Wed Oct 22, 2008 7:56 pm Joined: Mon Aug 20, 2007 9:42 am Posts: 49 Any more information regarding this product, because I have a keyboard and a mouse for copying and moving files.

It basically is for if you do copying using the unix terminal you can use my program instead because my program uses the shell It is not intended to replace the Finder. _________________ Brian Heibert http://www.brianheibert.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 15 posts ]
