TimeCode variable compatability

RichMcG wrote on 1/9/2004, 4:12 PM

Since timecode is a millisecond number (correct?) is there an example of a vb script that can read the timecode (current cursor position as an example) and spit that out to a message box. I get errors when I try to conver a timecode to either a number or string. Is this possible?

What code are you trying? In JScript, I use:

MessageBox.Show(myTimecode);

However, you could also use:
MessageBox.Show(myTimecode.ToString())
or
MessageBox.Show(myTimecode.ToMilliseconds())

In VB.NET I was trying CStr to convert the number to a string. Then tried to just assign it to an integer variable and it did not like that. In JScript, can I create a file on the hard drive simply? I'd use jscript but I don't know how to create files without setting permissions.

You mean simply create a text file, put some text in it, and close it? If yes, then absolutely. That's how I create the INI files used by Excalibur and Tsunami.
