I'm creating a simple VJ app, and I want to have multiple previews.

The problem is that when I issue a "read" command to get the file going... it continues streaming from disk, even if i disconnect the metro clocking source. This means that 1 or 2 clip previews works okay, but 8 or 10 is impossible.

How do I get the previews setup so that the read isn't continuous, but each clip loads maybe to a frame and stops... then when i "throw it live" it runs (I'm also currently setting it up with an invisiible button so that preview "runs" when you click on each preview.

The idea is that maybe 8, 80x60 preview clips "load" (i.e. start reading) , and can be clicked on to initiate motion, but they won't all be continuously streaming from disk; only while mousedown, or when thrown to the main output "window"

ok wow. thats an old patch I sent and a lot of it is uh, really badly 

done (lots of poor design decisions), but hopefully you'll get the 

idea and fix some bugs, or strip out the poorly implemented cross 

Apparently ive never heard of the 'change' object back when I wrote

No attachment or patcher text.. Looks pretty buggy. What did you attach/paste?

Hmmm... Nothing was attached or embedded in your response.

I appreciate your reply, and would love to see the patch you're referring to.

Well I got a pretty little .zip in the mail ;) There are a lot of 

benefits for those on the email list, then!

Ah, of course, the whole email/forum conversion thing. I agree that it's quite an ambitious system. I see similarities with max itself ;)
