When I used this code, ( in the frame handler for the 'hold' frame),
I received the following debugger message :
'Script Error: Expected =
else sound (7) = ?255'
Where is sound (7)? Was this an arbitrary channel chosen?
However, when I removed this optional line, the music continues playing and
does not stop.
Why is that?
