Hi Folks --
Let's think about what we need and/vs what we can do, and when ....
What we need is something that combines the old morphic score player with the Event Recorder, etc., Etc. We've talked about this for years, but haven't done one.
A scenario here is to
1. record the painting of the red car and making the forward by, turn by script for it.
2. we want to see this record laid out end to end in some readable form. It could be left to right scrolling (most normal) as in the ScorePlayer, or it could be top to bottom scrolling, etc.
3. We should be able to insert pauses, trim places where it takes too long, etc.
4. We need to lay in other events. The ScorePlayer does some of this. E.g. it will (or it used to) fire off a button placed on it when the cursor crossed the button. This can trigger other useful things, like new text appearing and disappearing, Voice Overs, effects, etc.
So one practical question here is whether the ScorePlayer could be adapted to take on events from the EventRecorder and actually be the player for the EventRecorder ....? This could give us a lot of useful functionality pretty easily ...
Cheers,
Alan
