invalid path in LiveAPI
May 14 2013 | 2:21 pm
Help needed!
Stored the paths of certain tracks in an array:
tracks_path_array.push(theTracks.path);
It works. Iterating through the this shows: "live_set tracks 0" or "live_set tracks 5"
But reusing it like:
var thisTrack = newLiveAPI(tracks_path_array[x]);
doesn´t work. "invalid path"

I use one from Stack overflow.
