Hi I hope someone can point me in the right direction?
I’m making an app that has an audio and text feature where I would like to highlight the text as the audio reads. I have seen the ebook tutorial that works with Kwik2 in photoshop, this is great, but it works using Director and I have been using storyboard since I started using lua/corona a year ago.
I am also not making an ebook otherwise I would simply follow that strategy… I am creating quite an involved app that is using SQL to hold data which I load text and audio from depending on categories chosen etc.
If there was a module similar to the kwik2 one that worked with storyboard I might be able to work it in, but I’ve been trying a work around by exporting the audio labels from the audio program (audacity in this case) into my app resource directory, then from there I have divided it into tables so each audio/word spoken has it’s own name, start time and finish time. I was hoping I could play the audio, while using a function to check the time it starts and between each start and finish time, change the text colour of the word matching the name!?
I guess my big question is… can you change the text colour of certain parts/letters of a text string?
Otherwise I will have to display every single word as a seperate object for this to work (unrealistic).
Please send me an E-slap if I am missing something more simple?
Thanks a tonne. [import]uid: 131622 topic_id: 32850 reply_id: 332850[/import]
