Good Question Tim,
A bit of odd behavior with filemaker...
- I created a container field and put an mp3 in it.
- when you manually click into the field - it plays and has a quicktime
control bar (play - stop FF RW etc.)
- but when scripted - and you use 'go to field' - it does not play - so user
needs to click 'space bar' to start - That's what the cool applescript step
does!
BTW : if you use 'go to field' with sub choice "select/perform" then song
will play but NO quicktime bar - so you can't stop it!!!
So I'd like to be able to do this same function as user keypress of 'space
bar' on pc
Any ideas since applescript doesn't work on pc?
