Play page order ?

[Onlineplayer]

Hi !
I really enjoy the jamstudiopage but i have one problem.
Pattern 2 onliy run allthough i´ve set Play page order to 2,3.
I´ve also set checked the loop page.
What am i doing wrong ? 

Best regards Conny

Hey Conny. I'd have to see the pages to get a better idea. But if "loop" is unchecked (off) then look to make sure there are no accidental spaces between numbers and commas. Good luck, and welcome to JS forums.

Hmm... Only thing I can think of is that you might accidently got a space before page 2. Okay this is hard to explain by just typing lol..

Okay let's say you got it like this

    2,3

When it's supposed to be like this!

2,3

Because if you have space at the beginning it's gonna play the selected page.
Blah I hope Im clear. lol

I understand that, but i us it with dashes.
Like this:
1-1-2-2-2-1-3-2-1
No spaces what so ever.

Relaying Regards.

You can, but that won't work when you download it.

All this fuss over the format of a variable taken from an editbox on a flash form?  Please... a little data validation in AS and your done!  What is really needed is more flexibility in the content of the string itself.  At the very least, the ability to specify a page range the same way a user would specifiy what pages to print in a word processing application, to a more robust implementation that could allow an actionscript string to be evaluated resulting in the correct string (could allow conditional looping based upon the current position within the song, whether to play a musical interlude and or it's duration).

Acutally this raises another question - I know the number of pages is currently limited to 5, but what about the length of the page order string, could a user insert a string instructing the site to rip a .mp3 containing the same musical phrase 5000 times or more thus crippling the service and interrupting legit users from enjoying the site?  Surely there must be some controls on this to prevent any malicious behavior.

Just a thought.

hey rob.Mitchell, you sound like someone who kinda knows what you're talking about 
anyways, js pages are limited to 24 in the page order box.
there could be any number of reasons that Conny's song isn't playing. If a link was posted we could all take a look and offer a prognosis, yeah?

  rob.Mitchell, You may wanta remember that you may be talking to a 9 year old kid lol.Are members range from about 9 to 64 years of age.So lets not talk over the head of a 9 year old.

My comment was in regard to the play page order and how it could be improved.  Thus I am speaking to those in the know.  I was also under the impression that the issue with Conny was already resolved. If not, then might I suggest the following:

When I used the site, I found that no matter what I put in the page order box, it was ignored when the Loop Page was checked.  So I think that the Loop page overrides the setting given in the Page Order.  However, while you are playing a song you can check and uncheck the Loop page to stay on the page for a while.

After a while I would use this to mimic the behavior I requested be added to the page order box.

My point... I can create a song playback manually that can not be reproduced by the MP3, because currently there is no way to instruct the server regarding when and/or how many times to loop on a given page.

Putting Alphabetic prefixes into strings is the most common way this is done.
If you or anyone would like more information regarding this type of enhancement and how it could be implemented easily, then feel free to ask.
