yes, that's true Scott - I remember having to do that before to get my switching to work properly. I think that the problem was to do with needing to use different boundary settings on the same segment at different times, in other words you sometimes want to play it aligned and sometimes from the start at the boundary. If your default is align to segment and you want it to play from the start at the next measure, you need to specify AtMeasure+AtImmediate in the script on that instance. Leaving off AtImmediate would make it play back aligned at the next measure, which when you think about it gives you more different options.

I think it always plays on a measure bounday if you do it from a script. I can't remember all the specifics. What is the default boundary of the segment? I think it needs to be AtImmediate? Oh, I think the solution was to call sometihng like: Segment.play AligntoSegment+AtImmediate+(whatever other boundary eg. AtBeat) Sorry I'm all fuzzy, I just walked in the door from GDC. -Scott Morgan http://Morganstudios.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Stroud" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <directmusic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 5:59 AM Subject: [directmusic] Set Variable to Object > > Hello everybody, > > Does anyone know if an object and it contents (i.e. a segment with a wave > track) are fully loaded into memory if a variable is set to such an object? > > Set MyObject = Segment1 > > Assuming "Load all content...." is on, will I be using up more RAM by using > this method? > > If it does, would it be the segment info or it's entire content, waves and > all that were loaded into memory? > > You catch my drift? > > Paul >
