How do I pass array-type arguments to Live API in JS?
I’m desperately trying to enable/restore stop clip buttons on APC40 with JS LiveAPI:
[code]
...blabla...
api.call("set_stop_track_clip_buttons", ???????????);
[/code]
Python implementation expects an array of button instances, so in Max/JS we can assume this function to expect something like a list of control id’s or a list of "id X"-type strings.. any ideas? So far anything I try leads to "invalid syntax" :/
Python definition, SessionComponent.pyc:
[code]
def set_stop_track_clip_buttons(self, buttons):
assert ((buttons == None) or (isinstance(buttons, tuple) and (len(buttons) == self._num_tracks)))
if (self._stop_track_clip_buttons != buttons):
if (self._stop_track_clip_buttons != None):
for button in self._stop_track_clip_buttons:
button.remove_value_listener(self._stop_track_value)
self._stop_track_clip_buttons = buttons
if (self._stop_track_clip_buttons != None):
for button in self._stop_track_clip_buttons:
assert isinstance(button, ButtonElement)
button.add_value_listener(self._stop_track_value, identify_sender=True)
self._on_fired_slot_index_changed(list(buttons).index(button))
self._rebuild_callback()
self.update()
[/code]
I have the same problem in trying to call the "note" method, which expects a list of 5 numbers after it.
seeing that with other methods which don’t require arguments the syntax is like this:
clip.call("select_all_notes");
i’m not sure what we’re supposed to do when there ARE arguments.
The
the docs say:
The documentation says:
——
call (function(arguments…))
Calls the given function of the current object, optionally with a list of arguments.
——
but if the arguments to the "call" method are provided as a string (like the "select_all_notes" example above), then what to do when there are arguments?
Here are various failed attempts:
code:
myClip.call("note",64, 0 , 0.25, 100 , 0);
error in max window:
jsliveapi: Invalid syntax: ‘note 64 0 0.25 100 0′
code:
myClip.call("note","64 0 0.25 100 0");
error in max window:
jsliveapi: Invalid syntax: ‘note "64 0 0.25 100 0"‘
code:
myClip.call("note(64, 0, 0.25, 100, 0)");
error in max window:
jsliveapi: ‘Clip’ object has no attribute ‘note(64, 0, 0.25, 100, 0)’
