Hey - thanks Jeff and Jester. Another difference between Jeff's code and mine is that his uses the delegate to play the sound as well as to call the onSoundComplete method.
I was curious why snd.start() was called twice. I removed the snd.start() call in the startSound() function and it worked - but the sound would not repeat (I added a button to repeatedly play the sound, instead of making it an initialization event). Adding the snd.start() back in allowed repeating. Not sure why this is the case. Also curious what performance difference - if any - there is between embedded and non-embedded sounds. I was able to get it to work both ways. Thanks again. - Tom At 03:55 PM 7/28/2005, you wrote: >As I say, not entirely sure why mine works when the original doesnt, but it >works, which is good enough for now. > >At 03:49 PM 7/28/2005, you wrote: > >The Activation Object is the weirdest beast...
