AlbumArt and flash

**EL CAMINO** · 06-05-2008, 07:51 PM

i been trying to get this to work and cant find the way, i created a small flash object using flash CS3 to show the current albumart with some effects, it works flawlessly standalone, hardcoding the picture path, but when using RR it just dont work, it appears that the flash object is not getting the path from RR for the image, i even make the flash object to set a variable in RR to see what is getting from _root.ALBUMART and all i get is "undefined". i have the label "ALBUMART" in the screen where the movie is embedded, so as far as i know is all i need, heres part of the code i'm using

Code:

fscommand("GETLABEL", "ALBUMART");
artwork = _root.ALBUMART
fscommand("SETVAR;FLASH;" + artwork);

I'm not sure it will work with flash, but have you tried the RRStrings plugin yet with the "PathFromPath" tag?
That might work.
Or have you tried the "COVERART" code instead of albumart? coverart is supposed to act a little different than albumart.

that plugin will help if you don't want to use a script to get paths, i can do that inside flash or a script, the labels and indicators for 'ALBUMART" and "COVERART" will return a string with the path of each one as fas as i know...

here you go.. you should be able to compile that , add the ALBUMART label and flash object to your skin file and be good to go. Credit goes to CDR for most of that code though.
