When a queued list of sounds is playing, I did notice that you can monitor
this: sound(n).member.membernum
The question though is, does anyone have any ideas how I could monitor it as
it plays, and get Director to execute a handler each time
sound(n).member.membernum changes?
Thanks for any
This is what we in finald call a rautalankaväännelmä, which means it is
not exactly elegant, but its should work:
Create an object or a moviescript which checks for changes in the members of
all soundchannels

I just tried this which worked just fine.
Of course I wouldnt use the idle handler in a real project. Did it just to
test

Obviously you have not been working with Director

Yes, but D702 was released before D8. As for D404, I can't say, I wasn't

If your extras are packaged internally (inside projector) there's a
possibility that that might be what's causing the error.
In the macromedia Technotes there's a technote about this, which is called

The Director 8 sound control Lingo IS in need of some way of
identifying that the sound playlist has advanced. An generated event
would be really nice.
Having a cue points at the beginning and end of each sound should
facilitate this.

Two things...
Firstly, how about changing your approach. You have the sounds all nicely
queued up, so why not use a handler to actually start the sounds playing.
This way you have a peice of code that runs as each sound plays.
Secondly, if you post your question with a more useable subject
