Hi Kerry, Sean, Irv, Charlie and jp,
I really appreciate your help. You are all very kind.
However, when I tried using Sean's amended Lingo script of Irv's, it still
doesn't work.
Let me explain the situation further:
I use the script as a frame script in the last frame of my movie. My music
file, an external cast file is imported and placed on to channel 4.
I have thus amended the line:
sound(1).fadeOut(nMilliseconds)
to sound(4).fadeOut(nMilliseconds)
When I rewind and play the movie, the movie reaches the end,and the music
stops abruptly. It then reverses to the first scene of the movie. There is
no fade-out of sound.
I know the Lingo code is correct. However, why does it not work? Am I
missing something? Is something not correct? Is it possible to have code
which works in one program not work in another?
Thanks for your input and comments!
Genevieve
