hey all,
id like to know if it is possible to turn off a running module
(example bpm router_master) thru the modul8 scripting utility.

id like to push a key,(or receive a midi message) the new media gets loaded and bpm_router master stops!, when i release the key(midi message stops) the bpm_router_master continues.

is this possible or am i dreaming about a future gadget :)?

also i would like to call a function from the filter(layer) module
for example: activate "dot screen" thru another module by clicking on a button/toggle.

any suggestions and help is apprechiated.
cheers alot
reto

Hello there !!!

I'm not shure if this works but should try...

the m8m is an xml textfile doc...
each modules has the line:
<key>SCRIPT_STATE</key>

for this line, the statement is:
<string>STOPPED</string>
<string>PLAYING</string>

in the module tutorial, (VS) talks about loading a file....

python allows to manipulate textfiles with some precompiler functions:
ob_fichier= open(filename,'r') (opens a file in read mode, filename as the path)
ob_fichier= open(filename,'w') (opens a file in write mode, filename as the path)

obFichier.readlines() (reads one line at a time)
obFichier.write('the string to write in the file')


ob_fichier.replace( 'STOPPED', 'PLAYING' ) (replace 'STOPPED' BY 'PLAYING')


hopr this will help
