Sivakatirswami,
I tested the stack here but modified the script so that the gonext
would:
on gonext tVar
------ snip
go card tVar
end gonext
and modified the "set next slide point to include the card number of
the next card etc. This let me put lots and lots of 3543, gonext
4 ,etc. This showed lots of transitions between cards and was very
fast too.
Anyway, I notice that the player object itself seems to hang around a
1/4 of an inch in and then does eventually start moving. I am looking
at the actual slider of the player object and it does hang and then
jump ahead to catch up, if you will, and then the slides start to
play again. It appears that this is a bug or message update of the
object and not your script. It is not on slide so and so that this
happens but rather at some point in time the player object does not
update.
By the way it happens again later in the song at about three quarters
of the way where it hangs again. The music still plays but the player
object is not updated and the "callbacks" must be using the actual
player object's state even though the song is much further along.
Weird, I would bugzilla this one for sure.

[[and all quicktime callback wizards.. help!]]
OK, its up here:
go url "http://www.himalayanacademy.com/runrev/stacks/yogaswami.rev";
All the set up controls are in a background group that is offset to
the right. To see them just resize the stack window to very wide...
I just added an audio file picker and also a button up for
pointing the player to our webserver (docRoot is hirdwired in that
script...to http://www.himalayanacademy.com, change it to your own
web server)
=========
but, I'm still having problems with QT player callback
implementation....even if the file reference is a local .mp3
file ....or streamed from our web server. Either way it's broken here.
Klaus: are you *sure* all 11 of the callback messages were sent-
implemented on your box? They are not here.. did you see all 11
slide transitions?
Here's what should happen: there is a title card and 10 card with
images. After clicking "Begin" you should go thru all 11 cards and
then arrive back at the title card... (Music continues for a long
time after that, just stop it with the controller, or from msg box
"stop player "music")
I set up 11 call backs at about 3000 1/600th's of a second
intervals. each one simply issues the message "goNext" There is
at most a 5 second interval between slides, most transitions are in
less time. So going thru all 11 slides should take about a minute
or two a the most, if it stops on one slide for more than 6 seconds
before you get back to the title, you know callback messaging just
died....
What actually happens: I click begin... all this does is "start
player "music" the slide show should be driven by callbacks after
that... and, whether the file is local or being streamed from the
internet... the callbacks "hang"-- in the IDE they hang after
about 4th or 6th callback message is sent, none after that. If I
run it from a stand alone player, I may get as far as the 8th
callback "goNext" implemented. It's random... in both cases, the
music continues, but no more callbacks messages are sent.
(Klaus, you were right, it doesn't need to be in the player script
at all :-)... docs should say "msg is sent to the player, if not
trapped there then passed up the msg hierarchy")
stack script
on goNext
visual effect dissolve very fast
go next card
end goNext
the callbacks of player "music"
3508,goNext
8286,goNext
11627,goNext
14132,goNext
16532,goNext
19119,goNext # it stops here! ouch
21160,goNext # all the following do not happen,
23527,goNext # the player just goes right thru these
25975,goNext # interval points and nothing happens
27750,goNext
29695,goNext
Hmm. I really hope this is not a bug... but with just a 4 line
script and two value callback parameters, there is not a lot a of
wiggle room to fix anything. I just had big dreams of stuff I could
do with callbacks all turn pale blue.
Is there anyone lurking who works a lot with callbacks that can
help us?

Sivakatirswami and Klaus,
Do you have the sample stack online? I'd like to check it out.
Seems great so far.
