Hi Derek
Thanks for the reply - to follow on from your info, can I create the "database" in PD or would I have to use some other program and then read from that using PD ?
One way to accomplish that would be using [textfile]s:
file no1. contains the file names of the textfiles that itself contains the files for [pix_texture], sth like:
content of file1:
slow; faster; fast;
content of slow:
slow_movie1; slow_movie2;
...
[read file1( | [textfile] | [read $1] | [textfile] | [pix_film] | [pix_texture] |
...
every time, the first [textfile] receives a bang, the next line is selected, the right outlet of [pix_film] gives a bang when the movie is finished, use that to bang the _2nd_ textfile, so that after slow_movie1, slow_movie2 is used. Read the help patches as well.
