Examples
The following script uses the MediaGenClient COM object to call another MediaScript.
function main()
{
var mgen = COMCreateObject("MediaGenClient.MGClient");
mgen.ScriptName = "testtext.ms";
mgen.SetParameter("args", 20);
mgen.ExecuteScript();
mgen.SaveBuffer(System.getNativePath("write:/comsave.jpg"));
resp.setPath("write:/comsave.jpg");
}
NOTE: This example is not generally recommended as it can cause deadlocks. It is provided for
instructional purposes only.
error()
This function has been deprecated. Use the standard JavaScript try..catch..finally
and throw syntax instead.
getPropertyValue()
Returns a string with the value of the named property. If the named property does not exist,
returns undefined. MediaRich includes two properties files that specify various system
settings. The files are: local.properties and global.properties. Using the
getPropertyValue() function, you can access these files from within a MediaScript.
NOTE: Properties are controlled by the MediaRich system administrator using the Admin Center.
See MediaRich Administrator’s Guide for more information.
Syntax
getPropertyValue(
<"property name">
);
Parameters
Enter the property name in quotes. Property names consist of the filename in which the
property exists (excluding the extension), a “.”, and then the actual property name.
NOTE: Property name information is case-sensitive.
Example
To access the LogLevel property in the local.properties files:
getPropertyValue("local.LogLevel");
The local.properties file includes the following line:
LogLevel=error
So, getPropertyValue() returns “error”.
