Re: slide show lite

[Klaus Major]

Hi Mike,

concerning the "grey" images:
You said that you have used these images in another context
and had no troubles displaying them.

In that case i would check for typos in the field "allphotos".
Maybe a "space" too much or whatever...

And here is a solution with the send command.

Advantage: this will not block RR during the execution ot this
script at all as it did in the repeat-loop.

Put this in your button-script:

local currentline, maxlines
## here we will store the actual line(file) that is being
##displayed and the number of lines in fld "allphotos"

on mouseup
put 1 into currentline
## start from beginning
put the num of lines of fld "allphotos" into maxlines
## you guessed :-)
send "do_the_slide" to me
end mouseup

on do_the_slide
hide img 1
wait 1 secs with messages
set the filename of img 1 to \
(the cphotoFolderPath of this stack & "/" & line currentline of fld "allphotos")
show img 1
if currentline < maxlines then
## we did not reach the last image yet...
## means there is at leat one more file to display
add 1 to currentline
send "do_the_slide" to me in 5 secs
end if
end do_the_slide

That's it...

To add a tiny bit of glamour to your script, i would suggest to
use a transition instead of no image for 1 second.

If you'd like to try this, put this in your button-script:

local currentline, maxlines
## don't forget these locals !

on mouseup
put 1 into currentline
put the num of lines of fld "allphotos" into maxlines
send "do_the_slide" to me
end mouseup

on do_the_slide
lock screen
set the filename of img 1 to \
(the cphotoFolderPath of this stack & "/" & line currentline of fld "allphotos")
unlock screen with visual dissolve slow
if currentline < maxlines then
add 1 to currentline
send "do_the_slide" to me in 5 secs ##:-)
end if
end do_the_slide


Have a nice weekend...


Regards from germany, where it just started to snow :-)
