how control the sound within going to movie?

[emicky]

--in a.dir, i use:
sound(1).play(member("bgsound"))
--when i
go to movie "b"
--then it jump to b.dir, b.dir also has the member("bgSound"), and the sound
continues; in b.dir, i use:
put sound(1).isbusy() ----1
put sound(1).status ----0 why???
put sound(1).member -----<void> ????

sound(1).pause() -----the sound stop, i want to pause it
sound(1).play() -----nothing, it does not play or continue!

-----so it's a bug????
-----and how, if i want to continue the sound and could control it like
pause() or play() in another movie??
-----do NOT use MIAW, there is a bug in puppetsound. and NO break during
going to movie
-----thank you!

When you start to play a sound file, that file is put into memory and
begins to play. Normally, you can control that sound file in any of a
number of ways. Most of these methods reference the cast member that
holds that sound file.

If you start a sound file playing and then change movies, the Director
session is still running, and so anything that was in memory from the
first movie and is still in use, will remain. However, the reference to
that sound file is now gone. Member "X" of movie "Y", is no longer
available, and so you can only stop the sound.

I don't think that this is a bug, but a fact of life. If you want to
continue to control the sound file then you will have to use a method
that will work. The most common is to create a MIAW and run the sound
file from there.

It shouldn't stop unless you run out of memory.

?
in director mx 9.0
in a.dir , i use sound(1).play(....), and then open a movie(b.dir) i a
window, now the sound continues still;
in window(b.dir), use one button to forget current window(b.dir), now the
window(b.dir) forgot, but the sound in a.dir stopped!
it's true! not the memory's problem, you can test it!
