"Live" Scripting Interface: Creating an instance of an ActiveX object by rh on 06-17-2006 at 05:22 PM
hi!
I have an old plugin I want to port to the new scripting interface as soon as Plus Live is out. In this old plugin, I use a Windows Media Player object to playback sound, midi, streams, videos, etc.pp.
Now I wonder: Will there be a way to get an instance of windows media player as an object into the scripting interface? of course, I could pack the activeX object into a DLL and call that DLL using Interop:Call, but that would be quite ugly...
Anyone have an advice for me? Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Rupert

Use the MsgPlus.PlaySound() function...

errm, this only plays local sounds. but I want all the flexibility of Windows Media, like playing internet streams, sound files from LAN shares, etc. and all the formats like WMA, MIDI etc.

ah... err... nice
I have never realized this. probably because until now i have used jscript only in HTML files and there i got my activeX objects through <object>.
Well, thanks a lot, this should (if everything works well) make the port quite straightforward.
