Re: beep-answer-freeze
I was just recently experiencing problems that are probably attributed to the same thing. I had an image called image "Play Output". In the script, it said: wait 15 ticks with messages show image "Play Output" It would show the image, then it would get the error that image "Play Output" doesn't exist. It was because I was having an... imaginary error somewhere else in script. I tried for hours to track down the error, but everything else was working fine. Finally, I had to use a roundabout way to do it. The beep command takes time to execute, so another command might be getting an error that doesn't really exist... I mean... its not a real error, but revolution thinks it is... anyway, Revolution throws the error out and the very next line of code has problems. These are all roundabout, but one of them might work: 1. Put the line "wait 0 ticks" in between those lines of code 2. Try replacing "answer "hi"" with something else, and see if that line has problems instead 3. If nothing else works, and your desperate, write your own handler that makes a substack "answer box" On number 3, I had the same problem, but with the revCopyFile command. It would take 30 seconds to execute, even on miniscule files. I had to use a shell command, and then it took a matter of milliseconds. I hope one of those fixes your problem... although they're not fixing the problem, they're going around it. But if you can use a roundabout way and save a few hours of debuging, that's worth it, right?

Re: beep-answer-freeze
Works instantly for me on 2.7.4 on an AMD 64 X2 4400+ You can get this to happen reliably just opening up Rev from scratch, making a new button, and putting that into the MouseUp handler? What version of Rev? Maybe you need to upgrade your PC buzzer!

Re: beep-answer-freeze
Hi Mark, Thanks. I figured as much. After seeing that it works with you I explored my System Preferences and found that someway, I have no idea how, the Alert Sound was turned off. Duh! Now it works fine. I know I checked some time back and it was ON. Joe Wilkins On Jan 9, 2007, at 4:31 PM, Mark Schonewille wrote: Hi Joe, Thanks for your reply.

A couple ideas to check for no-sound-OSX this works in the message box for me play "/Volumes/Cat150/_bkup060826/merge/sounds/Laff.aif" Garage Band will change the sound prefs to what it likes and this may not be best for other apps. Does iTunes play anything? Can you play ANY .aif file in rev? As I said before, the Mac Mini OS will turn the sound way down on restart, no matter what you set to. Combined with the tiny speaker, volume may be too low to hear. I use two Mini's (solo and duo) with Entp 2.7.2 (ext spkrs + manual turn volume up) and sounds work fine.
