iimSet from the component???

Post by rguez_18 » Thu Sep 15, 2011 5:31 pm

How do I use the iimSet equivalent on the component? Can you please provide a sample? I don't see any variables being set from the samples included on the component download. Thanks!

Hello,

Thank you for asking. There is no iimSet equivalent on the component.

We thought it is not necessary. Since in this case you have full control over the code sent to the player, you can do the variable assignment on the macro code itself. To loop the tag position, for instance (in C#):

Code: Select all

for(int i=1;i<=5,i++)
{
  string code = String.Format("CODE:TAG POS={0} TYPE=SPAN ATTR=CLASS:mw-headline EXTRACT=TXT",
                      i.ToString());
  res = iim.Play(code);
}

Hi,
Thanks for the clarrification, but I strongly suggest that perhaps you could mention that on the documentation for the component co'z as a long time user for the scripting edition it totally took me by surprise. Thanks again!

Please consider my request for an iimSet method for the component as well. I was hoping to set the default folder and filename for image download by creating a user variable with iimSet. Again I was hoping to do this as part of the setup for iimPlay in case I needed to download an image.

Without the variable preset, I have to custom compose the ONDOWNLOAD FOLDER= and FILE= command to the component, and figure out how to insert the command into the script command stream in the right place. I think it would be cleaner to have appropriately named variables available, and the component would be line-for-line compatible with the iMacros script designer.

Thanks!
