So the solution has to be to avoid modal dialogs. You could do that by
creating your own dialog stack and storing it as a substack in your main
stack. You'd fill the text field with the appropriate response and set
the button labels to whatever you want. Then display it as modeless:

If you need them to play seamlessly from one file to the next, that
would be the biggest trick. I would start out by having your
program get the size (in time) of the file it is going to play first
and have a send command create another player and start it at the
estimated end time.
Yes it
Wow, your long version looks like a pain to implement. I came into this
thread late so forgive me if this has already been suggested, but have you
tried using 'on playStopped' to string your sounds together. Here's a little
code I just wrote a few minutes ago to do this.

I really miss being able to do that, but that's a sacrifice to go
cross platform. I don't look forward to taking 1000 images (in a
project I've already begun where the images are/were finished),
porting them to Photoshop, and then

I forgot all about playstopped. I think I like your suggestion
Try this (watch out for line wraps):
Will try it and let you know

If all you need to do is to convert those 1000 images from some current
format to gif/jpg, you could do it a lot more quickly by batch processing
them

Shari,
GraphicConverter will work on PICT resources in a stack, so you don't

to worry about that aspect of the batch conversion. Setting the
transparency, however, is another matter...
The transparency can be handled as well
Cool! I'll update my copy right away... :-)

Wow, thanks! It's been a while since i've been called a dreamboat. :-)
As to your question, yes if a playstopped handler is in the current
execution chain, then it will get called anytime a sound (or for that matter
a video) stops playing. And, yes setting a global when you played a sound

If so, you could try using send in commands to trigger the handler
repeatedly. The handler could check to see if the sound was done and
if so, start the next one.
After an hour of playing with various forms of the send command, I
gave up and went back to the long, klutzy version.
Unfortunately
I'm not sure why you couldn't do it the HyperCard way, as long as your
sounds are in MC-compatible formats (which it sounds like they are --
.wav is fine.) I've had good luck with the ordinary play command (no
player object, just regular old play snd.wav), using sounds that were
imported into the

Of course, another option is just to combine all the sounds using a
sound editing program and save the result as a single sound file. Then
you have the illusion of multiple sounds but you only have to play one.
I use the same sounds in several pieces of code, but not in the same
order/format.

This is what I would do. Set up all of your sounds and music in one
file. Put a one second delay in between all the sounds. Then you
write down the order in which all the sounds are laid out. Know the
timing of each sound and you can have QT play from 10 seconds into
the file up to 15
