[Oh, Bad Luck; you thought Richmond was going to take that one on the chin and then smile :) ] Neither do I want to play door bell jingles (even if for the only reason is that I have a cheap Chinese doorbell replete with seven nauseating jingles I can listen to to my heart's content). However, on my computer I have a Hypercard stack called "Folk Tunes", it is referenced here: http://www.cs.sfu.ca/CC/SW/HyperCard/TeachHC/reference/hcref.html under Music (although that website seems to have 'gone' as I write) and it does something considerably better than "the rape of the moonlight sonata" as performed no my Doorbell. I don't know whether there is copyright outstanding on this stack; if I found it was FREE I would pop a zip of it on my website. Now, as we all know; HyperCard only works on an out-dated, half-defunct operating system, on out-dated, soon-to-be-defunct computers. If that were not the case I would not be letting it rot in a dark and forgotten part of my archives. Embedding music files in RunRev / MetaCard stacks comes at quite a hit, both in terms of file size, and RAM requirements; the HyperCard method would be considerably 'cheaper' in both of these respects. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson. ____________________________________________________________ A Thorn in the flesh is better than a failed Systems Development Life Cycle. ____________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
