You're 100% correct, I overlooked the assignment of OnEndEventPlay to the OnEndPlay handler in the WITH statement (mea culpa). > I would also urge some caution in freeing objects inside event handlers like > David is doing.

Absolutely, you're basically pulling the rug out from under yourself like that. > Back to the original problem though, if David is looking to somehow > manipulate the instance outside of the PlaySoundCue method then I certainly > agree that a hard reference to it needs to be held somewhere.
