Recognizing Markers in .WAV files

Question

ok so I have a .WAV file where I have placed markers (
literally named Marker 1, 2, etc ) at different locations in the
file. I imported my .WAV into director 10. I have next buttons
where I want them, onDown to skip to the next marker in the .WAV.
What code do I use to do this?

Answer 1

You could start by grabbing the cuePointTimes list from the
WAVE file,
executing a findPosNear based on the currentTime of the sound
playing,
and set the currentTime to the next one found.
Something like the following might get you started (watch for
unintended
line breaks):
on mouseUp me
-- assume the sound file is playing in channel 1 (alter the
channelIndex to suit):
tSound = sound(1)
-- check whether the channel is currently playing a sound
if tSound.isBusy() then
-- get the currently playing #sound member into a local
variable
for faster re-use later
tMember = tSound.member
-- ditto its list of cue point (marker) times
cpTimes = tMember.cuePointTimes
-- how many cue points are defined
nTimesListed = count(cpTimes)
-- if there are *any*
if nTimesListed then
-- what's the current time of the sound playing
curTime = tSound.currentTime
-- what's the next listed cue point
tPos = cpTimes.findPosNear(curTime) + 1
-- if there is such an index in the cue point list...
if tPos <= nTimesListed then
-- ... then get its time
tTime = cpTimes[tPos]
-- and start the sound playing from here
tSound.play([#member: tMember, #startTime: tTime])
end if
end if
end if
end
