The auto state is not reset when each film is loaded.&nbsp; You can set auto before any film loads and it should stick.&nbsp; Why do you set auto 0 at all?<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 3/9/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

<br><br>i&#39;m having a problem with the [open( and [auto( messages for<br>[pix_film] : i have an abstraction (see attachment) that responds to<br>a [read &lt;movieName( in the right inlet by setting [auto 0(, then<br>calling [open(. if i send a successive [start( in the right inlet,
<br>[auto 1( will be sent. i need to insert a stupid delay because<br>otherwise the [auto 1( is swallowed. that delay is only safe in the<br>order of some 100 milliseconds. i want this patch to be clean without<br>any experimental delayed messages. is there a way to determine when
<br>pix_film is done with initializing the movie and when it will be<br>ready to accept the auto message?<br><br>thanks for help! ciao, -sciss-<br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br><a href="mailto:PD-list@iem.at">
