I smacked my forehead when I read this suggestion, because of course it will solve the problem. You are right that you need to grab the actual sound data and work with it. The actual procedure will vary based on the sound format you are using. Most involve a bit of header info and then raw sound data. I once wrote a utility to process AIFF sounds, and it wasn't too difficult after I got my head around the documentation for the format. If I remember right, the only (slightly) tricky bit was that the size of the sound data was part of the header, so I had to calculate that and insert it. regards, Geoff _______________________________________________ improve-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/improve-revolution
