Hi Brian
I have not done much with players but I checked the reference and the
message you need to handle is playStopped.
try this:
on playStopped tPlayer
switch tPlayer
case "fanfare"
start player "finale"
break
case "finale"
do whatever you want
break
end switch
end playStopped
I've never done it myself but that's the first thing I'd try ;-)
Regards
Monte
