Has anyone ever had problems with forgetting windows and the sound stopping? I have a single frame movie, with an internal sound member placed in channel 1 in the score. The sound is set to looping. But if I forget a MIAW, then the sound stops playing.Here's my code from the message window - -- Welcome to Director -- x = window("dummy") x.modal = TRUE x.Open() x.Close() x.Forget() <-- Poof! Sound stops. Clueless. Pranav Negandhi Software Engineering Learnet India Limited, Mumbai. Phone: 91-22-859 8042 Ext: 316 http://www.learnetindia.com
1. this only happens for sounds in channels 3-8 - sounds playing in channels 1 & 2 are allowed to continue.
2. not fixed recently (as far as I know).
There are many workarounds & this issue doesn't effect that many folks.
I'd rather see (a) MIAWs to not have to SHARE their sounds channels with the stage movie & other MIAWs and (b) the overall number of sound channels increased.
3. some workarounds
- quick & dirty:
use channels 1 or 2 (unfortunately, these already might be in use for other sounds)
- more fancy/useful/flexible (great for small loops):
copy the sound member from the MIAW to the stage movie & then tell the stage movie to play/loop it using any channel. This has the advantage of the stage actually knowing that it's playing a sound in that channel (sound().isBusy() becomes true). It can them fade it out after some time has passed, etc.
