bnokes@AAVViD,

I suggest that you download a working program from the files area, then pick it apart and study how it works.

For your immediate problem, assign each of your IR commands to a button on a hidden page. Be sure to assign a unique tag to each button. Then assign your CF.widget( ... ).executeActions(); command to a user button.

You can assign multiple commands to the hidden buttons, but as Lyndel suggests, don't include Jumps in your command strings until you understand what you are doing.

If you would like an analogy, you are asking how to drive to a certain location. While we could give you explicit instructions, street by street, turn by turn, we hesitate to give the instructions because we feel that you should learn how to read maps. Once you learn to read maps, you can drive anywhere. If we simply give you complete instructions, you'll need to come back here for every trip.

(I don't want to sound mean, but I have a feeling that you can't yet operate the car.)

Make sure that your 'DVD' activity has a ProntoScript name (not the name that shows up in the tree) of 'DVD'.

Make sure that the '2' activity has a ProntoScript name of '2'.

You do not need to use extender to do this as you are sending IR. In the Activity Properties (PEP1) or Component Properties (PEP2), you assign the extender and IR port for the activity or component that contains the IR code.

It appears you are using PEP2 from your quote above. Therefore, add an extender to project (search F1 help) and then set your receiver component to use said extender and specify the IR port that should be used.
This is how you route IR to an extender.

Might I suggest that you go to Philips site and register to become certified on this remote? There are PDFs that are made available when you do that will help explain all of this a bit better. You might even consider attending an online training class or 2.

(If we simply give you complete instructions, you'll need to come back here for every trip.)

People will come back any ways.

I drive the car like a race car and if you can't believe that, well that’s your problem

I work on more advance things that the best programmers some times have problems with. I am not by all means the best in the world or the best at all.

I know that I can do things that other can't

That is fine I don't need this place. I was just being lazy so I can just get some samples from some one that as done something like this, but I know now that this is not true.

Hey thanks Lyndel McGee

I did finish know I am waiting for class 3

I have found that the class just let me in for more info. I still haven't found the new Developers Guide that I was told that was out. Know that my classes are done. I should be able to find it in the log in area.

Well, if you are indeed level 2 certified, then you should be able to download the guide from the Philips site. Just click the ProntoScript icon from Philips' main page and the login with your user account/password. On the right, you should see a link to download the dev guide...

With regard to using PS_VOLUME, again, if you are certified, you can download some scripts from the from the Philips site and review them. Start with the receiver scripts.

And, since, above, you mention being lazy. What is stopping you from searching this site for: Developer Guide? At the time I write this, the link below is the 4th or 5th thread in the list.

I have the Developer Guide I got it before I started the certified level classes. I just meant that I work better seeing some examples and then picking it apart. I have been looking at the book to help me understand and write pronto code. Programming language are for the most part are the same, but the variables and interaction are different.

I found out from Philips that there is a new Developer Guide, so I had to take and complete all the levels. it's very hard to find where the Developer Guides are at, but I have Developer Guides Version 1.1 and 1.2.3 I should be good. I will have questions because I do best with a think tank. I just can't find any one smart enought to pass ideas around. I think I have everything now

You were complaining about not being able to get the latest Dev Guide. I was simply telling you where to find the link if you had not seen it.

Regaring smarts and think tanks. In English, the word "know" means that you possess knowledge and the word "now" means at this instance in time.

Yes that helps thank you. I do thank you for the info on where to go, but at that time i didn't know. I have what i have now. I will work on it

Yes, thanks again for that typo error point "know" to "now"

" Regaring smarts and think tanks. In English, the word "know" means that you possess knowledge and the word "now" means at this instance in time. "

So if we are talking think tank(s) then "know" means possess of knowledge then thats great. Love knowledge!

Now back to work in hand

Are you good in ProntoScript?

I wrote EscientPronto, a Javascript Media Interface. Barry Gordon also wrote a Javascript Media Interface to Slimserver. So, the answer is yes, VERY PROFICIENT.

My billing rate is $100USD/hour and I also request that you do not send private email or RC mail asking me how to do this or that.

My time, like yours is valuable so please respect that and post here for all to be able to help answer.

Lyndel works "Cheap" - or should I say inexpensively. I get $450 an hour for my time no matter what I do (program, consult, design, etc, talk, waste it). However I am known to work "Pro Buono" if the subject interests me. When I was working for a living for a major corporation, you didn't get me personally for less than $2000/hour, but my take was very small, an annual salary.

I did not mind in those days because I loved what I did and had complete freedom within the bounds of corporations. Now with less time left to enjoy life (I will soon be 70), my rates will probably go up!

Well that was a joke. i would never know
