[QUOTE="xstep, post: 1225847, member: 11647"] I forgot to answer this in my last response. It depends on your experience, of course. I'd say given your description that it is at least medium complexity. It is a time based app and you'd like to play a list of music from say iTunes or a folder of music. Currently you want to read in a text file as a script of timed events. That script has to be designed to make it easy to create, edit and parse. As scenes are added, edited, moved and removed, your tool has to make it easy to keep up to those changes. Not just single entries, but whole blocks of data. During playback it would likely be handy for the script to be automatically scrolled based on the timing, but given that we are dealing with people, the playback timing needs a manual tweaking capability to adjust to their realtime timing. Playback of music is easy, but you would you really want it to be automatic given the timing issues of the actors. Also, I suspect, you don't want to play whole songs, but a section. There are frameworks to make that easier to code. I can't help to think something like this exists. Likely big expensive apps and smaller ones for the small local playhouse. Search them out and read about them. They may give you a basic understanding of what is involved. Don't let them overwhelm you. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
