If I remember correctly, If a MIAW is opened or closed, any sounds playing in channels 3-8 (playing either in the MIAW or in the Stage) will be terminated.
Definitely a major annoyance that has been there since at least Director 7. 1 workaround: use channels 1 or 2 for background sounds that might be playing while windows are opened/closed. another workaround: if a high channel (3-8) is being used to play a sound, grab it's currentTime & then tell the Stage to quickly fade out this high channel while fading in the same sound at the same currentTime into channel 1 or 2 & then do the window manipulation. I know it's ugly, but it might work (I've never really tried it). hth -Buzz At 12:31 PM -0500 5/14/02, you wrote: >Hello ALL, > I am working on a project that has audio narration.
