Can you give an example of the intended use of the properties? Are they meant to be used in a Script-action in the OnClick-repsonse of a button, for example?
Is there a full list of these methods? Where do we find the options and variables???
I would like to have this documentation either.
There are so many different variables used in so many different cases.
I would like to call a block from a script. Not with the default goto function. But from a script so that I can pass a variable. So one variable goto block A and another variable goto block B
Hi Johnny,
I got app.playmusic() working great with a simple button. Now besides playmusic() and stopmusic() are there other methods not listed here that I can use to control the player?
Your native player works great but it's more tailored for music and not podcasts. I want to add find a hack (perhaps using a script method) where I can add "skip back 15 seconds" and "skip forward 15 seconds" function into the playlist so that the << and >> buttons on native player instead of skipping to another track, will skip seconds.. then I can replace those << and >> images with a loop back/forward images and have a more user-friendly native podcast player in appmachine. Do you think this is possible by tweaking something in Logic scripts?
Also I got playmusic(string title, string url, string artists, string artworkUrl, string purchaseUrl) fully working but wanted to know is there any way I can change the "Buy" text from purchaseUrl. Thanks! Rob
