Help with position: URGENT!

[playmenow]

I have a BIG problem. I made another slider and use it to show the position and to seek. The only problem is with this script:

Page > OnTimer

-- get the position and set it
if Playing == true then
Pos = MediaPlayer.GetCurrentPos("Media");
Slider.SetSliderPos("Position", Pos);
end

And the slider:

-- set the position
MediaPlayer.Seek("Media", SEEK_SPECIFIC, e_Pos);

I think you can imagine what it does, as the timer is activated when it starts playing the file...anyway, here's the project: (attachement)

Have you set the range of the slider to the media's length?

I took a quick look at it PMN. I can't devote a lot of time to it but the Slider Range that is being set in the Play function isn't setting the slider max to the correct value, its setting it to zero. I moved the last two lines that set the range into the Media PLayers On PLay event, and it worked for showing the position. However, the On Timer event is stopping you from being able to set the seek position on the media player... You're going to have to come up with a way to kill the timer while the mouse button is down on your slider.

[Desmond]

Maybe check out the page's 'On Mouse Button' event. Stop the timer when the left button is down, start it when it goes up.

Give 'er a shot anyhow, it *may* work.

There is a function in the Slider Framework named IsInRect that you could use to determine if your mouse pointer is inside the slider too. That way you'd only stop the timer if the mouse was down on the slider.

how to use slider framework?

[Worm]

You don't have to use it. I think it'd look betterm, but that's just me. All I was saying is that you could use that particular function to help you out.

Here's a link to the Slider Framework

...sorry...it doesn't set the position!!! i made maybe some typos

[Worm]

Hmmm.... thought I already did the Slider Framework for you.

It's really simple to use.

Here's a simple step by step:

Start a new project. (or grab the empty one attached here and skip step 1)

1. Cut and Paste the code that is in the posting

2. Create two Images (preferably PNG for transparency), one for your slider background and one for your knob

3. add the images to AMS.

4. Name the background image: hslider_Position

5. Name the knob: hknob_Position

6. Move them into position on your page.

7. That's it.

From there you simply use the Custom event like you would the Slider Plugins.

I won't use the slider framework....it kills my CPU...here's what I have so far with the standard sliders:

[Worm]

Here's my take on it.

[Worm]

it kills my CPU

When I use it, it takes my CPU to 15%'ish... what could you possibly be doing that is so processor intensive?

[playmenow]

Good. I have a tip for you: have you heard of "elseif" ? It saves you from typing an "end"
It works! Worm, wanna a beer?

[Worm]

Dude!

I don't think elseif would save you from using an end as you still need to close out your ifs. Even if I'm wrong and it does save you from typing an end, it's bad practice IMO.

I'll try to sneak a couple elseif's into my code if thats what it takes to impress.
