strange problem with flash and customdl

**fabi1** · 11-23-2007, 09:17 AM

Hello,
Customdl some day works and the next day doesn't.

Here is what happens and the procedure:
the first list (default music dir) always appears fine. I have 6 dirs.
The click on a dir does i.e: (fscommand:"setlist;3",""), then a loop verify setlist has done its job with ancient and new LISTPOS variable. So far everything is fine, setlist seems to have done its job.

Then, I have 3 options:
Open the dir fscommand("FLASHBROWSE",""). Here a loop verify new list is received with ancient and new CUSTOMDL; There is a timeout of 2000 frames, then it comes back to default music dir with a (fscommand:"SETPATH;blablabla","") which is working fine too.
Play dir fscommand("!SELECT", ""); which appears to load all music dir in winamp (with all metadatas it take ages), so it doesn't seem to have taken setlist function in account.

//////////// As I'm writing this message, everything is back working fine with no slightest change of my source///////

Add dir fscommand("add1","") didn't have time to test.

Anyway, something's strange with all this.
Restarting windows doesn't do anything about it. I even checked the hard drive which seems to be in good working order, has 6G left (160g) and open dirs fast in explorer.

Anybody have this same problem?

thanks.

!SELECT will try to go into a folder and then add all songs from the list... an alternative would be to execute "CLEARLIST||ADD1||PLAY" .. which should give you similar results.

If anything, I'd suggest making the playlist visible, and add some delays so you can SEE what's going on on each step. The other thing you can do is try a fscommand("waitexec"); to wait for the previous issued commands to be executed before sending any other commands.

Each variable polled from rr is checked by loop. I usually use flash with php which requires the same checking routine.
When fine everything is working perfectly.
Might be something with my explorer or so. Anyway, working great now.
thanks for the answer.

Finally looks like when setlist is requested, LISTPOS would change, but FLASHBROWSE wouldn't take it in account sometimes.
By now using a fs: SETLIST;blabla||FLASHBROWSE. Everything is perfect, rr is doing its job independently.

Always works better using the rr way...

Thanks for answers.

FINALLY:
Seems like when I use winamp291 everything's faster and easier. But I can't get album name on the playlist.
I have tried all kinds of combination with tags in rrconfig. Still can't get them.
Is there a way to get album name in playlist with winamp291?

Some news about this situation:
Winamp may not be the cause for all this( I don't now why it would affect dir browsing anyway).

I'm still finding it strange though, it is still an inconsistent behavior.
What the codes look like now: _labelnum = selected item number)
fs = "SETLIST;"+_labelnum+"||WAITEXEC||FLASHBROWSE" ;
fscommand(fs, "");

I also tried in different commands like: fscommand("setlist"); fscommand("waitexec") etc...
but I don't really understand how,in this case, flash is told to wait for setlist result in order to send the flashbrowse command.
Anyway, Is the first command I sent to long? I'm almost completely sure every variable and command is checked inside flash project, and _labelnum is 100% what it is supposed to be.Still stuck with this.

whenever you use waitexec you MUST use it separately or it won't have any effect.

fscommand("setlist;"+_labenum); fscommand("waitexec"); fscommand("flashbrowse"); should work as long as setlist has a valid number as parameter. You should check the debug log to see what it's executing -- though, you will not see waitexec in the debug.. if you do, then there's something else wrong.

**Sonicxtacy02** · 11-26-2007, 03:44 PM

are you using flash or swishmax? _labelnum isnt correct variable syntax in swishmax.

**fabi1** · 11-26-2007, 04:27 PM

using flash, I'm used to always underscore all variables so it won't conflicts with predefined ones.

**fabi1** · 11-26-2007, 04:32 PM

so here is what we have:
the button:
on (release) {
_parent._parent._parent._check = _root.CUSTOMDL;
//fs = "SETLIST;"+_labelnum+"||WAITEXEC||FLASHBROWSE" ;
fscommand("SETLIST;3", "");
fscommand("WAITEXEC");
fscommand("FLASHBROWSE");
_parent._parent._parent.folder += _label+"/";
_root._firstlisting = 0;
_parent._parent._parent.gotoAndPlay(2);

}
the debug:
