[I asked a question similar to the following in the past without a definitive answer so I thought I'd try again to see if there's any new insight :-) ]
Is it possible to set the fileName of a player to a loaded URL?
I have script which loads the URL of an audio file into the local cache. But if I try to set the fileName of a player to the loaded URL, the result reads "could not open movie file". This technique works with stacks but apparently not with other file types. Is it even possible to access the local cache directly when the loaded file is something other than a stack?
I know I could write out the audio file to the drive, but I'd like to avoid cluttering the user's drive with downloaded files.
I use this technique after downloading the audio file:
put urlStatus(tUrl) into stat
if stat contains "cached" then
put url tUrl into var
put "binfile:" & the directory & "/sfp.wav" into filnavn
put decompress(var) into url filnavn --Generates a audio file with the name "sfp.wav"
put the directory & "/sfp.wav" into lydfil
play lydfil
unload url tUrl
delete file lydfil --Deletes the local audio file
exit updateme
end if
