Thanks Scott,
Here is the workaround I did:
on openStack
play ac "sound1.wav"
send "mouseDoubleUp" to image "bigPlay" in 8 seconds
end openStack
in the script of image "bigPlay" I have:
on mouseDoubleUp
play ac "sound2.wav"
end mouseDoubleUp
also in the script of image "bigPlay" I have
on mouseUp
(do a bunch of other stuff too)
stop playing ac "sound1.wav"
stop playing ac "sound2.wav"
end mouseUp
What really BUGS me about LiveCode is that the documentation (example, wait
with messages) is SO sketchy, that you cannot figure out how to use it. I'm
constantly wasting my time fighting something that doesn't work and then
ending up having to do a workaround as shown above.
And as an FYI in case you ever run into this: I imported a folder of audio
files and LC inexplicably made my "bigPlay" image disappear - even when it
says "visible" in the property inspector, is in the top layer and blendlevel
is 0. After fighting that twice, I went back and had to import each audio
file individually. Note that I'm using 6.1.1 (rc 4) on XP.
Anyway, thanks for the code below. I may end up using it somewhere
sometime.
Larry

Hi Larry:
This is probably a situation where wait with messages will not work. If
you want to cancel sound 2 independently of sound 1, the second sound
needs to have its own play message so it can be canceled separately. This
is why I originally suggested the possibility of using a loop script or
similar.
You might try something like this (watch line wrap):
# PLAY SOUND 1
on openStack
play ac "sound1.wav"
send "playBack2" to me in 8 seconds
end openStack
# PLAY SOUND 2
command playBack2
play ac "sound2.wav" looping
end playBack2
# CANCEL PLAYBACK OF SOUND 2
# BEFORE OR AFTER PLAYBACK HAS STARTED
command cancelPlayBack2
cancel item 1 of line lineOffset("playBack2",pendingMessages()) of
pendingMessages()
play stop
end cancelPlayBack2
Now, any control that user can press to cancel the playback of sound 2
needs to include a call to the above "cancelPlayBack2" command in its
script. Note that this will also stop playback of any imported sound due
to the "play stop".

I have a splash screen and want to play 2 sounds in it, but allow the
user to leave as soon as he/she wishes.
This was my previous code and it worked fine:
play audioclip "Sound1.wav"
wait 8 seconds
play audioclip "Sound2.wav" looping
the problem with the above code is that the "wait" command meant that the
user could not click on the button to go to the main screen until the 8
seconds was up.
and this is my new code:
play audioclip "Sound1.wav"
wait 8 seconds with messages
play audioclip "Sound2.wav" looping
the problem with the new code is this:
IF the user clicks on the button (to go to the main screen) AFTER the 8
seconds, then everything works fine - as it always did
but IF the user clicks on the button DURING the 8 seconds, then
everything goes completely CUCKOO!!
So, the only difference in the expected result and the cuckoo result is
that I added "with messages"
Therefore, I am assuming that I need to so something with messages if the
user clicks during the 8 seconds, but I have no idea what to do.
TIA for any help
Larry
