No really good ideas, but a couple of tings you might try
1. log the actual time when you do the 'send' and when you are
re-awakened and see if there is anything to be seen in the way of a pattern
on dingDing
if the cpFlag of me is false then exit dingDing
put "about to play" && the long seconds & CR after field "timeLog"
play "ding" -- an au file, length of 0.089 seconds
put field "sendWait" into tSendWaittime_ding
if tSendWaittime_ding<= 0 then put 90 into tSendWaittime_ding
put "ready to send" && the long seconds & CR after field "timeLog"
send "dingDing" to me in tSendWaittime_ding milliseconds
end dingDing
2. do NOTHING else in dingding !
on dingDing
if the cpFlag of me is false then exit dingDing
send reallyding to me in 0 milliseconds
send "dingDing" to me in cpWaittime_ding milliseconds !! NB custom prop
end dingDing
on reallyding
play "ding" -- an au file, length of 0.089 seconds
put field "sendWait" into cpWaittime_ding
if cpWaittime_ding <= 0 then put 90 into cpWaittime_ding
end reallyDing

Hello All,
For a spinning wheel-of-fortune effect, I want a "ding" sound to
repeat at even intervals. And I'd like those intervals to be as short
as audibly possible without the sound file being too cut-off.
Using the script below, the "play 'ding'" audibly cycles at an even
metre a few times, but, after the nth time, there's a very brief but
clearly perceivable pause or hiccup. When that "nth" time happens
depends on the wait time of the "send" command, but it's about every
6th to 11th cycle.
I've tried playing with the send time, as well as editing the original
sound file to be as audibly brief as possible. In fact, I've been
attacking this "hiccup" problem on-and-off over the years. One
"solution" I've tried is to string the dings into a new sound file and
use a player object to play it. But, at some point, when that spinning
wheel starts visually slowing down, I just don't see any way of
getting around the problem that I must rely on a delaying send-in-time
command to make the wheel also sound like it's slowing down.
Thank you in advance. -- Nicolas Cueto
THE SCRIPT...
on mouseUp
set the cpFlag of me to not the cpFlag of me
switch the cpFlag of me
case "true"
set the label of me to "S T O P"
send "dingDing" to me in 0 milliseconds
break
case "false"
set the label of me to "D I N G"
break
end switch
end mouseUp
on dingDing
if the cpFlag of me is false then exit dingDing
play "ding" -- an au file, length of 0.089 seconds
put field "sendWait" into tSendWaittime_ding
if tSendWaittime_ding<= 0 then put 90 into tSendWaittime_ding
send "dingDing" to me in tSendWaittime_ding milliseconds
end dingDing
