Issue the sound(channel).fadeOut in the frame vefore then in the next frame
you can check to see if the volume is at zero. When it is at zero then you
exit by issuing a Halt command.
Irv's example could be used as well, he's just using a time parameter to tell
when to end the movie. He's also just using a different event handler to
issue the fadeout.
The basic idea is that you would want to issue the fadeOut in a separate
event, then check for the volume or the time in another event. Mind you this
could be in two exitFrame scripts occuring in different frames. So if you rip
out the Fadeout stuff in my previous example and put it into an exitFrame
script before the volume script it should work.
There are many ways to do this, it all depends on what your movie does, or
rather what you want it to do.
