Greetings Lingo -ists,
I apologize that this is going to be so long, but I wanted to make
you aware of my attempts, in case my logic may be flawed. Please bear
with me.
I have a problem concerning a background sound loop. I have two
seperate movies and a single sound loop shared between the two via an
external cast (on a PC Win98). The loop is in sound channel 1 in both
movies. And the second movie starts in frame 2.
The problem I'm having is trying to go from one movie to the other, the
sound skips. The background images are the same, so the music should
be the same. I know the sound from the preceding movie will continue to
play, but I have sounds that play for some animations and as soon as
they play, the sound in channel one stops.
I know you can count the length of the sound and then try and time it,
but since the user controls when to leave the first movie, the amount
of time left in the loop is uncertain.
So, I've tried putting a 'wait til end cue' in the preceding movie, but
the sound stops for a noticeable period of time til the next
movie loads and starts.
Then I tried to 'set the loop = 0' in the preceding movie, and then
turn it back to TRUE in the following movie's first frame(frame 2).
That only turns the loop back on from the preceding movie, and then the skip
again.
I've tried adjusting the sound sprite, via the sound channel, to change
the point of entry, but the skip still exists.
I've tried a sound fadeIn, and sound fadeOut, but it's a bit
disconcerting when you're suppose to be in the same section and the
sound dissapears then reappears.
I've also tried to move the sound in sound channel one to begin in the
second frame of the second movie, and then this script in the first
frame of the movie:
if soundBusy (1) then
go to the frame
else
go to frame 3
end if
But sometimes that works and other times, it seems to create a loop,
and the playback head never moves to frame 3.
So, that's my problem, I hope that someone out there has a suggestion of
some sort, it would be greatly appreciated. I thank you ahead of
time.
Sincerely,
six_shadow9
