Some stuff for 4.0 (to push the release date even more...)

[Thomas]

- New command to not change the 'To' value inside For..Next loop:

Code: Select all

b=10
ForN a=1 To b
Debug a
b=0
Next

- Floats as index:

Code: Select all

For a.f=0 to 359 Step 0.01
y=Sin(a)*100+240
x=Cos(a)*100+320
Plot(x,y)
Next

- CatchMovie() command to put .wma (or other multimedia files) into a pack file and retrieve them instead having to use LoadMovie()

- Register Variables may be a way to increase speed of the code even more (even though it's already very good for a compiler)

CatchMovie would be great!

If I get what you're saying for the first request. I would request that it NOT be done that way.

[blueznl]

i don't understand what thomas wants, to be honest

[PB]

I know what Thomas wants, but it seems a bit silly... if he doesn't want the
value of "b" to change, then don't change it -- or just use a specific variable
for that loop instead. No need to go adding a new command for such a thing.

i have to disagree... it make no sence to include a movie to an exe and catch this complete a 2nd time to the memory... i dont want hold the complete movie file into memory... i would accept, if you looking for a command like PlayStreamMovie(?label,offset) or something like this... also playing a movie (included in a file as long as the exe isnt packed)... but i would more like to have such big datas outside of the exe... just my opinion

I second

@va!n
a movie can also be just few kilobytes.

It's more a convenience thing... so you don't need to extract it to disk first,
etc. As nco2k said, a movie isn't always 50 MB. And nobody will force you
to use a CatchMovie command.

And as for your comment about the size -- what about CatchImage and also
CatchSound, when used with BMP images and WAVs? They can be huge, too.
