Hi Tiemo,
Not sending the playStopped and playPaused messages might prevent
recursion from occurring. Hiding a player object does send the
playStopped message, which would make the recursion argument very
weak. So, I don't know what is the reason, but I don't really care, as
it is easy to send the message yourself. Correctly handling an
unwanted message, such as the playStopped message when hiding a
player, is more difficult, especially when you're unaware of it. So,
perhaps it is better to have some messages not sent, rather than to
have them sent unexpectedly.
When the alwaysBuffer of a player is true, it stays in memory when you
stop the movie and even when you go to a different card. Setting the
filename of the player to a different path, releases the memory used
for the previous movie and loads the new movie into memory (at least,
I think so). If the alwaysBuffer is false, the movie needs to be
loaded each time when the card with the player object is opened.

Hi all,
I think I am still missing some basics of the Rev player object. Rev
2.9 I
would like to use my own buttons as controls.
When sending "start player", the video starts and I get a message
"playStarted", OK.
When the Video is finished I get the message "playStopped", OK.
When sending "stop player", the video stopps, but I don't get a
message
"playStopped" - Why?
When using the standard player control "pause" I get a message
"playPaused",
ok.
When using "set the paused of player foo to true", the Video pauses
ok, but
I don't get a message "playPaused" - Why?
I could define my own status messages, but couldn't I use the standard
control commands for my own? Is there really only a start and stop
player
command?
Additional question. In other IDEs or languages I have to open a video
before playing and close the video after finishing, otherwise the
multimedia
channel would keep open and Iwould get an "overflow" after a certain
amount
of videos. Obviously Rev handles all this open and close for me. Am
I right
that Rev closes the video channel after I stop the player and I
don't have
to care about closing? But is this also true, when using "stop
player",
without getting the "playStopped" message (see above)? Or can I
close the
video for myself anyway?
Thanks for any tipps and coaching
Tiemo
