Calling MFL.API Abstractions from within Javascript code

[Gravis]

How do i do this?

So right now i have code that looks like ...

Code: Select all

selected_scene_observer = new LiveAPI(this.patcher, testCallback, "live_set", "view");
selected_scene_observer.property = "selected_scene";

and a little bit later in the file ...

Code: Select all

function testCallback() {
    post("SCENE CHANGED!\n");

    // Need to work out what scene has now been changed to ... how?
}

So when the function testCallback is called i need to know what scene number im at.

If i was using the patch/object view i'd just use M4L.api.GetSelectedSceneIndex. So my question is, how do i call that from within my javascript file?

Just create or move an object to the selected_scene path in your callback. Then you'll have an object which is the selected scene, and if you want, you can get its id.

Actually I'm after the scene INDEX, NOT the scene object itself.

[pukunui]

Once you have the object won't its path will give you the index?

-A

[Gravis]

from what i can see there's no getIndex method on the Scene object? how would i do this?

Parse the path

( try saying that 10 times in a row)

Code: Select all

function set_up()
{
   
    selected_scene_observer = new LiveAPI(this.patcher, testCallback, "live_set", "view");
    selected_scene_observer.property = "selected_scene";
}

function testCallback()
{
	my_new_scene = new LiveAPI(this.patcher, "live_set view selected_scene");
    post(my_new_scene.path,"\n");    
}

-A

ok so that works ....... i have no idea how, can you please point me to the documentation that says the 'path' is actually the index? cause im not seeing that anywhere

Thankyou!!!
