Thanks Klaus!

 >> use:  the paused of player x

I *hate* missing simple stuff!

Hi Chris,

Hello all -

I expect this is an easy question, but I can't seem to see how to do it! How do I see if a player is playing?

Watch very hard :-)

The playrate property always returns 1 (I want to play movies at normal speed)

The playrate determines the plaback speed of your movie and 0 means that a playing
movie is currently paused ;-)


I had thought it might return "0" if the movie was not playing.
The movie() function only seems to work with video clips, not player objects. So I can't say "if the movie is done..."


I need the equivalent of a "playing()" function that would return true or false.

Since there is no direct way to dtermine what you want, use a little trick:


function movie_is_playing
  put the currenttime of player xyz into ct
  wait 10 millisecs
  return (the currenttime fo player xyz < ct)
 ##will be true if the movie is inded playing, else will be false
end movie_is_playing

Here i just check 2 different "times" and see if they are identical or not...

Hope that helps...

A (virtual) Mars bar to the first person with the answer!!!

Chris
