audio from movie file in!

Annoyingly TD doesn't play the audio from a movie file by default! What you must create is an AUDIO MOVIE CHOP. Drag the MOVIE FILE IN node onto this & connect and Audio Device Out & you'll get the movie audio!

selecting a row from a table, using op...

 use case - you have a table in form of the FOLDER DAT, you want to pick from the rows of the table. Lets say they're a list of images. First, lets get rid of the first column, which just lists the filenames. We need the second column that displays a full path. Use a DAT Select node for this. Choose select Rows by Index, set appropriate last number & Columns also by Index (start and end will both be 1). In the MOVIEFILEIN node, you could type - op('NAME')[0,0] to access the image in the first row. However if you want to do something a bit clever and use a CHOP named "INDEX", for example as the number to select the row, you can't just type - op('NAME')[op('INDEX')[0],0]   <THIS WON'T WORK. And Touch Designer won't say why... op('NAME')[int(op('INDEX')[0]),0]  <You have to change the data type to an int!  so, by casting to an INT, the op('....') blabla works.
