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