*$&! iTunes object! (Probably something stupid)

[magician13134]

Ok... I'm currently writing a program that interacts with iTunes or any other media player. I coded the iTunes part seperatly, so if iTunes is open it does the iTunes code, otherwise it does the generic code... However, when iTunes is closed, I get a fatal error:

If $iTunes.PlayerState <> $state Then

And it says $iTunes isn't an object... I can understand that, iTunes is closed, so it's no longer an object, however, the part of code that's in looks like this:

If IsObj($iTunes) Then
        If $iTunes.PlayerState <> $state Then
            If $iTunes.PlayerState = 1 Then
                GUICtrlSetImage($PlayPause, "bitmaps/pause.bmp")
                $state = $iTunes.PlayerState
            Else
                GUICtrlSetImage($PlayPause, "bitmaps/play.bmp")
                $state = $iTunes.PlayerState
            EndIf
        EndIf
    EndIf

So it shouldn't even go into that loop if iTunes is closed... I get that error everytime.... any ideas?

You may want to take a look at my Absolute Lyrics Finder Script (see my signature), it integrates very well with both iTunes and Winamp. I thoroughly commented the source so it should be fairly easy to understand. Pay extra close attention to the event functions toward the bottom of the script as I believe this is were your problem is coming from.
