RE: How to play a sound file in iOS?
Bill, Choose a short sound that you wish to use as your beep sound, for example 'shortbeep.aiff' and bring it into your iOS environment through the 'copy files' pane. In say your preOpenStack handler put :- set the beepSound to specialFolderPath(engine) /shortbeep.aiff Now when you issue a 'beep' command in one of your scripts, then 'shortbeep.aiff' will play.

I didn't look up the page number, but somewhere in the release notes it states that iOS doesn't have a default alert sound. If you want one, your app has to provide it yourself. The system doesn't provide any. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: How to play a sound file in iOS?
When you say attached, do you mean you went into application settings and the Copy Files tab, and add the files there?

Re: How to play a sound file in iOS?
I actually added it as a control from the File menu. Following your suggestion I added the file in the Application Builder but this too fails the Simulator test because I'm not actually building the application yet. Starting from scratch… I have a .wav file. How do I play it from an application on an iPhone?
