I have been having some problems trying to play audio files (wav files)
in a player w/o quicktime on windows. the players in mc, rev 2.1 or 2.5
will play wav files fine with quicktime on windows, but if i set
dontuseqt to true on preopenstack or dont have quicktime installed on the
machine, the audio files will not play. documentation says that audio
files and video files (to some extent) should play w/o quicktime on
windows. This happens on XP, 2000, and 98.

the player is visible with no controller and buffered (although those
dont matter).

anyone have any ideas of why this is not functioning the way the
documentation says? Has anyone played audio files on windows w/o
quicktime using a player (ie not an audioclip).

Hello,
using mciSendString will take care of yours needs. The scripts below will give you some ideas.


function myMCI tstring
  put mciSendString(tstring) into returnValue
  get the result
  if the result is not empty then
    return "error"
  else
    return returnValue
  end if
end myMCI


function playmysound gShortname

  --Viderevar:
  global gLongName --the complete name and path

  --Startvar:
  global ttime

get myMCI("close myaudio")
--OPEN
put "open"&& quote& gLongName & quote&& "type waveaudio alias myaudio" into tstring
get myMCI(tstring)
--GET LENGTH
put myMCI("status myaudio length") into ttime
if ttime is "error" or ttime is not a number then
put 0 into ttime
return ttime
end if
--PLAY
if myMCI("play myaudio from 0") is "error" then
return 0
end if
return ttime


end playmysound

on mouseUp
  global gLongName
  put "C:/PROGRA~2/MetaCard/Program/FRAAND~2/t2_01m.wav" into gLongName
  put "t2_01m.wav" into gShortname
  if there is a file gLongName then get playMySound (gShortname)
end mouseUp
