I will request that everyone not post in this thread to keep it clean for Sonicxtacy's guides.

Thanks for the sticky. i wasnt sure how comments would/should be handled.. but i will continue to update the table of contents as tutorials are added so there is at least SOME organization

EDIT

i know i'm several months behind on this.. but its on my new years resolution list! For the wait i will also be including snippets on playlist searching.. all done within flash and lighting fast (faster than winamps JTF plugin!)

Chapter 1: Running Ride Runner Commands In Flash

Due to the level of implementation in Ride Runner's source code, running a RR command inside a flash skin could not be easier. Flash uses the function fscommand() to send the command into RR's queue. For example, if u wanted to run the AUDIO command in your flash skin the correct syntax would be:

Code:

---

onSelfEvent (press) {
    fscommand("AUDIO")
}

---

or

Code:

---

on(press) {
    fscommand("AUDIO")
}

---

This code can be used on any flash object, whether it be a sprite, text object, or shape. ALL ride runner and custom commands (from exectbl.ini) can be run this very same way. Very simple right?

Now there are ways within flash to change which command is run based on other events, variables, etc. More on this later

I tried this coding with adobe flash cs3 and I always get an error. Is there any way the coding would be differant for this version? It works fine with swishmas???
