I'm working on my final performance/project for uni but have a problem I can't figure out. If you have a look at my patch screenshot I've uploaded, the bang on the right hand side that is lit, constantly bangs because the metro is switched on. If I switch the metro off, the bang stops, but also the Wii input stops. Is there an object or something I can use that will only allow the bang to bang when the corresponding button on the Wii controller is pushed?

I'm intending to use the buttons to control video playback direction for on of the videos. Also I want to use buttons 1 and 2 to change the mode. I was intending to use the motion axis to control the sliders but not quite sure how to do this yet either.

nope, you need to bang the aka.wiimote to get motion+buttons. 

however, you might do yourself a favor by using a single qmetro- not 

a metro!- for all of your timing. use a qmetro and a trigger.

Thanks for the reply. Would changing the metro fix the problem I'm having?

I'm not quite sure how good the qmetro is. It seems to be behaving quite erratically and the bang is still lit...

I've managed to sort the problem by using a select object and a couple of one bangs. Working a treat now :D

I am new at this. I am a visual artist learning how to control video and audio with the Wii. Can you send me instructions on how to load video and audio into your program.
