onFD in Mediaplayer

[blanius]

Wilburt this one is for you.

I'm trying to make use of the FD data and to test the function I tried this in the load.as file

onFD(fd){
_root.txt1.text=fd.length;
}

but I get undefinded, the fd is displayed in the normal fd display.

[blanius]

While we're at it how about the onID3 function?

The event fires but I cannot figure out how to access the id3 tag. I want to expand the a mediaplayer skin with some custom buttons and display extended id3 tags in a window and also make some movements based on fd data.

[blanius]

if I do this in timeline

mediaplayer1.onID3(){
	_root.txt1.text=this
	}

I get _level0 which is NOT what I expect Shouldn't that be the mediaplayer and if so how do I reference the id3 tag, shouldn't it be mediaplayer1.?song?.id3 where ?song? is the internal name of the sound object?

Try this

mediaplayer1.onID3 = function(){
 _root.txt1.text = this.id3.artist;
}

mediaplayer1.onFD = function(a){
 _root.txt2.text = a.length;
}

duh thanks

[blanius]

I remember that I was not able to use the in command to loop through the properties of an object, we discussed this some time ago in relation to id3 tags. There must be a work around for this...

[blanius]

Here's a test using onFD, the speaker and the display are driven by onFd, also extended ID3 information using onID3

Nice work Bret

I don't know if you already figured out how to loop through all id3 properties.
Here's an example in case you didn't.

mediaplayer1.onID3 = function(){
 var o = this.id3;
 var p;
 for (p in o) {
  _root.txt1.text += 'property:' + p + ' value:'+o[p]+'\n';
 }
}

Can you explain this a little more in general? I remember you was trying to do this a few months ago.

Thanks Wilburt, that is what I was talking about. I couldn't get it to work but will try again with your code.

Tmoore Mediaplayer object has there functions already. onFd and onID3 I'm just playing around with using them.

mediaplayer1.setExternalPlaylist("playlist.txt")
mediaplayer1.onPlay=function(){
	_root.txt2.text="";
	mc3.mc1._xscale=mc3.mc1._yscale=0
	mc3.mc2._xscale=mc3.mc2._yscale=0
	mc3.mc3._xscale=mc3.mc3._yscale=0
	mc3.mc4._xscale=mc3.mc4._yscale=0
	mc3.mc5._xscale=mc3.mc5._yscale=0
	mc3.mc6._xscale=mc3.mc6._yscale=0
	mc3.mc7._xscale=mc3.mc7._yscale=0
	mc3.mc8._xscale=mc3.mc8._yscale=0
	mc3.mc9._xscale=mc3.mc9._yscale=0
	}
mediaplayer1.onFD = function(a){
	_root.txt1.text = a[5];
	speaker.grill._xscale=95+a[5]
	speaker.grill._yscale=95+a[5]
	mc3.mc1._xscale=mc3.mc1._yscale=25*a[1]
	mc3.mc2._xscale=mc3.mc2._yscale=25*a[2]
	mc3.mc3._xscale=mc3.mc3._yscale=25*a[3]
	mc3.mc4._xscale=mc3.mc4._yscale=25*a[4]
	mc3.mc5._xscale=mc3.mc5._yscale=25*a[5]
	mc3.mc6._xscale=mc3.mc6._yscale=25*a[6]
	mc3.mc7._xscale=mc3.mc7._yscale=25*a[7]
	mc3.mc8._xscale=mc3.mc8._yscale=25*a[8]
	mc3.mc9._xscale=mc3.mc9._yscale=25*a[9]
}


mediaplayer1.onID3 = function(){

 var o = this.id3;
 var p;
 for (p in o) {
  _root.txt2.text +=p + ':'+o[p]+'\n';
 }

 
}

The Display is just a MC with 9 clips in it with a single shape on each.
The speaker is a two layer clip and I scale the background one a little based on the value of a FD

[tmoore935]

This is how swf-tools worked. I remember this. If the volume was tied into the FD's, then they could respond to the music output. But thats getting too "tweeeked"

If a song has id3 v1 and v2 tags you get both. Any ideas on not seeing the duplicated tags?

Besides filtering when you loop through all properties I see no option.
The id3 object is the same as from the sound class and it doesn't have a function to only get the v1 or v2 tags.
