Michael,
If you haven't solved your sound problem yet, here is yet another
approach. You can take the code that I posted recently, and with a
few modifications, you can change it into a frame script (behavior).
Something like this:
property plSounds -- property which is a list of your sounds
on beginSprite me
-- do what ever you do to build up plSounds with your small silence
sounds in the list
-- plSounds[1] = "Whatever.snd"
-- plSounds[2] = "HalfSecondPause.snd"
-- plSounds[3] = "Another.snd"
-- etc.
return me
end
-- AND/OR, you can call this to add a sounds one at a time
on mAddToSoundList me, newSoundName
append(plSounds, newSoundName)
end
on exitFrame me
if plSounds <> [] then
if not(soundBusy(1)) then -- whatever sound channel you want to use
-- no sound playing, get the next one
nextSound = plSounds[1]
puppetSound 1, nextSound -- or sound(1).play ...
deleteAt(plSounds, 1)
-- A new sound has started.
-- Do whatever you want with the name of the sound which is in
the variable: nextSound
end if
end if
go to the frame
end
