I have adapted one of the scripts to show what I'm playing in SAM BC.

As one of SAM's featurs, you can write the currently playing song to a xml file.

When i skip lots of songs successevly the script 'freezes' and refuses to change my PM!

Here's the source:

code:

---

var version
var status;
var timer;
var sentenceArray;
var copySentenceArray;
var editingSentence;
var file;
var XMLDoc;




function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart)
{
}


function OnEvent_Uninitialize(MessengerExit)
{
}


function OnEvent_Timer (timerId){   
}


function OnEvent_Signin(){
    //Create the xml filepath.
    file = MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath + "\\output.xml";
    //Load the status of the script and the list of messages.
    XMLDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
    XMLDoc.async = false;
    XMLDoc.load(file);
    //Load values from the xml file.
    version = XMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("version");
    timer = XMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("timer");
    sentenceArray = XMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("sentence");
    Messenger.MyPersonalMessage  = sentenceArray[Math.floor(Math.random()*sentenceArray.length)].text;
    MsgPlus.AddTimer("MessagesTimer", (parseInt(timer[0].text))*1000);
}


function setTimer(){
    //Create the timer to change the personal message.
    MsgPlus.AddTimer("MessagesTimer", (parseInt(timer[0].text))*1000);
}
   
function OnEvent_Timer (timerId){
    //Create the xml filepath.
    file = MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath + "\\output.xml";
    //Load the status of the script and the list of messages.
    XMLDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
    XMLDoc.async = false;
    XMLDoc.load(file);
    //Load values from the xml file.
    version = XMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("version");
    timer = XMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("timer");
    sentenceArray = XMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("sentence");
    Messenger.MyPersonalMessage = sentenceArray[Math.floor(Math.random()*sentenceArray.length)].text;
    MsgPlus.AddTimer("MessagesTimer", (parseInt(timer[0].text))*1000);
}
function OnEvent_MenuClicked (MenuItemId, Location, OriginWnd){
    if (MenuItemId=="on") sbcOn();
    if (MenuItemId=="off") sbcOff();
    }
function sbcOff(){
MsgPlus.CancelTimer("MessagesTimer");
Messenger.MyPersonalMessage = "";
}
function sbcOn(){
Messenger.MyPersonalMessage  = sentenceArray[Math.floor(Math.random()*sentenceArray.length)].text;
MsgPlus.AddTimer("MessagesTimer", (parseInt(timer[0].text))*1000);
}
