You're right, there are 8. Any of the sound commands has as a parameter the number of the channel you want to use. You would be best off using linked sound files and then just play the cast member in question, rather than using sound playfile and having to let Director know where the sound file is located. For example: puppetsound 5,"some music" will play the file that is linked to the member named "some music", and will use channel 5. -- [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/LUJ/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo.
