for music = 1 to 100
play sound rnd(7)+50
if sound playing (50)then wait 172000
if sound playing (51)then wait 168000
if sound playing (52) then wait 69000
if sound playing (53) then wait 46000
if sound playing (54) then wait 118000
if sound playing (55) then wait 255000
if sound playing (56) then wait 74000
if sound playing (57) then wait 235000
next music
this is right below the sound loading. the wait is the length of the sound in miliseconds. for some reason it takes awhile to load
and plays all at once. help?

I wonder if sound playing is getting false immediately after your play sound. If so that would then cause the loop to trigger without any of the waits happening. Perhaps try putting a sync in between the play sound and the sound playing checks to force DB to update, see if that helps.

What is it you're trying to do? Because there is probably a better way of writing your code.

Thanks for the help. but for some reason it broke this later in the code. do
REM SCREEN DISPLAY
REM CONTROL INPUT
if Keystate(scancode())=1 then gosub OptionsSection
REM REFRESH SCREEN
sync
loop.

i don't understand why doing this with sound breaks the title screen

You should explain more clearly what you're going for.

Are you trying to keep a title screen up while certain sounds play?

D.D.

i am sorry for confusion. allow me to be perfectly clear.
For MLoop = 1 to 100
MFile = Rnd ( 7 ) + 50
Play Sound MFile
Repeat
Sync
Until Sound Playing( MFile ) = 0
Next MLoop
REM SCREEN DISPLAY
REM CONTROL INPUT
if Keystate(scancode())=1 then gosub OptionsSection
REM REFRESH SCREEN
sync
loop.
that is the code.
it plays the music and for some reason the keystate(hit any key to start) does not work. or it takes a huge amount of loading.

Yeah that will be very slow. Since the repeat section of the code makes it wait until that music/sound or whatever your trying to load plays through until the end before proceeding.

This,




If you want the user to be able to interact while the music is playing you'll need to build a loop that manages the music and checks for input .

(Note: pseudo code)
