Hey there

I am trying to make a module with a button for the next media and a button for the previous media in the mediasets. The module is pretty simple, but the buttons keep reacting on both down and up. I have set the down value of the button to 1 and the up value to 0, but it doesn't seem to help. The only way I can get it to work is to set the button to "toggle". But it isn't really a toggle button...

What am I doing wrong ?

I upload the module to the public library for you to inspect: Previous+Next

You should check the "param" dictionary sent with the message.

Typically you receive a value in the param, 1.0 for down and 0.0 for up.

For example

Code: Select all

if param['value']==1.0:
     print 'button is down'
elif param['value']==0.0:
     print 'button is up'

If you want to see the parameter that you receive simply print the param dictionary and check the result in the console:

print param

result for down is:

{'NAME': 'Untitled', 'value': 1.0}

result for up is:

{'NAME': 'Untitled', 'value': 0.0}

NAME is the name of your control.

ok, but what about if we want to deactive the up value (I have the same problem but it doesn't really change my module but that would be better

)

can we do something like that?

Code: Select all

if param['value']==0.0:
      param['value']==nil

nil or something similar... I don't know

thanks

Not sure what you mean by "deactiving" a value. If you are not interested by the up mouse event you can simply ignore it.

Thanks for the answer.

I simply put the "if param['value']==1.0:" into my script, and now it works. It looks like this:

Code: Select all

 if msg == 'next' :
	if param['value']==1.0: 
		val = modul8.getValue('ctrl_layer_media',0)
		newVal = val+1
		modul8.setValue('ctrl_layer_media', newVal,0)

I'm quite stupid

I was thinking in the wrong way...

Donleavy just opened my eyes
