do you mean this:
down ? deck left select ? deck left loop : deck right loop : deck left select ? deck left loop_exit & deck right select & deck right play : deck right loop_exit & deck left select & deck left play

that will loop the selected size on the skin while you have the button pressed, then when you release it will exit the loop, swap the selected deck and play the opposite deck, if not you might need to explain it a little clearer.

on second thought, maybe you meant this:
down ? deck left select ? deck left loop & deck right select & deck right play : deck right loop & deck left select & deck left play : deck left select ? deck right loop_exit : deck left loop_exit

...I need some sleep ;-)
 
well kind of, but i want deck 1 to play when button is pressed the first time and when holding the button down i want it to switch to deck 2 & play (but not loop automatically), and when button is released stop opposite deck and exit loop on active deck, and auto crossfade between decks everytime the button is held down

i made it work from a different script that someone else made. it'll work when switching from deck 1 to deck 2 while deck 2 is looping but won't crossfade from deck 2 to deck 1 while deck 1 is looping

basically it'll work if one deck is stopped, but i want both decks to be playing while default deck is in loop so that i can overlay the other tracks with the default deck and auto crossfade without it going to back to the other active deck
 
you still need to work on your description... this is exactly what you said.

deck 1 play ?
TAB_down ? // if deck 1 is playing do this
TAB_TAB_mix_now : // when button is pressed mix deck 2 and swap the selected deck
TAB_deck 1 loop_exit & deck 1 stop : // button is released stop deck 1 and exit the loop (you have to manually enter the loop)
deck 1 play // if deck 1 wasn't playing on the first press start it

deck 1 play ? down ? mix_now : deck 1 loop_exit & deck 1 stop : deck 1 play

you are going to have to paste in the script that you are working with and use the same terms for things in your description, you're using "deck 1, deck 2" interchangeably with "opposite" & "deck default, deck active (which doesn't exist any more)", it's confusing.
 
all i need is to have deck 1 play when the button is pressed once and switch if its pressed or held down
 
that's a little tricky to achieve. the reason is you have the holding command but that will wait until you release the button and check if you have held it for a specified amount of time in this case half a second..

play & holding 500ms ? mix_now : nothing

another thing that may work is:

deck select play ? mix_now : deck select play
 
ill try that deck select play command and see if it work with what i have, thank you, it works, much more simpler, now i have to make to where it stops deck 1 when released, plays deck 2 and selects the active deck
