Thanks for your explanation.
If I understand correctly,
the script on the frame before the frame which ends the movie goes like
this:
on exitFrame
sound(4).fadeOut(500)
go the frame
the script on the frame which ends the movie goes like this:
on exitframe
if sound(4).volume = 0 then
halt
end if
go the frame
end
Now I have another problem: the music continues playing, it does not stop
and the music does not fade away and the movie stays on the final screen. Oh
dear!
I also tried to use what Irv had written. However, the music stops abruptly
and the movie ends.
I still do not know why the music does not fade away...
Would appreciate any input provided.
