This function had an extra slash that is not needed. Here is the updated
function:
function csi_soundDirectory
local tPath
--USEFUL FOR GETTING THE ROOT FOLDER OF THIS APP
set the itemDel to slash
put specialFolderPath("resources") into tPath
return tPath & "/sounds/" & sVehicle —in this example sVehicle contains
“lambo"
end csi_soundDirectory

Hi Graham,
I am working on a simple mobile app that is using the sensors and playback of
sound as you are.
Using .m4a is perfect for mobile.
The code to play your sound is: play tPath —tPath is the full path to your
sound file.
My file structure is as follows:
A bunch of iOS related directories (which you can ignore)
myApp.app/sounds/lambo/start.m4a
I use the following function to build my path to that sound file:
function csi_soundDirectory
local tPath
--USEFUL FOR GETTING THE ROOT FOLDER OF THIS APP
set the itemDel to slash
put specialFolderPath("resources") & slash into tPath
return tPath & "/sounds/" & sVehicle —in this example sVehicle contains
“lambo"
end csi_soundDirectory
Best regards,

You are very welcome!
I am the lucky guy who does not own (and need!) any mobile device, yes, no
cell-phone, that's me.
But since I sleep with the LC dictionary under my pillow, I know whatever
syntax is neccessary for mobile,
just cannot test it by myself. :-D
Some years ago I have been coaching/mentoring a complete LC newbie and a couple
of months later he
had a cool app with database etc. in the Apple and Google store. :-)

Re: Where do copied files go on mobile?
Hi Klaus
Thanks for your continued interest. In fact I got it working! As stated
earlier, I converted my sound to .m4a (there are internet services for this
kind of conversion) and included it in the Standalone Copy Files section.
I have this in the OpenStack handler of the main stack of the app (there is
only one stack).
put specialFolderPath("resources") & “/MySound.m4a" into tBeepPath
set the beepsound to tBeepPath
beep 3 — as a test
I ran it on the iPhone simulator and it did beep! I have something wrong
further on in my app when the beep is supposed to react as an alarm, but it
isn’t the sound itself.
I am struggling with these additional problems and will almost certainly be
asking for more advice shortly!
Thanks again for your help.

Re: Where do copied files go on mobile?
Thanks Klaus. I am parking a sound in there and obviously only reading it, so
should be OK. My mysterious unresponsiveness in my app must be something else...
Keep safe

yes, everything you add to our app via the "Copy files" tab in the "Standalone
Application Settings"
will be found in the runtime in -> specialfolderpath("resources") on ANY
platform!
Hint:
We are not allowed to write in that folder and even opening a database here is
considered
"writing" and will fail.
So if you have a database (SQLite) file in your app, you need to copy it to the
users DOCUMENTS
folder first and open it there!

Where do copied files go on mobile?
When doing standalone settings for mobile, if one chooses to copy files where do they go? My simulator setup is having a meltdown at present so it’s hard to test. I hope it’s the ‘resources’ folder. LC docs don’t say AFAICS.
