How to...

[jkgiven]

I'm sure this is pretty simple but to date I just haven't figured it out.
I want to create a projector that opens two movies. One will contain music
only, and one that is my main movie. But How? Also, the movie with the music
should always remain open and hidden in the background, the only access will be
the user turning the music on/off.
Thanks for any help.

Open a MIAW containing your sound clip and place it off screen. You can open
it with a frame script on frame 2 for example...

That music control could be done be scripting in your main movie using a
couple of different schemes to play a sequence of music.

The more roundabout second movie could be done, using a movie in a
window.


you can run a miaw without opening ( the window visible is left false)


window( "Player" ).fileName = the pathname & "playerFile"
tell window "Player" to startMusic

on startMusic handler in the playerFile.dir file would kick off the
music.

Am a little confused... If all you want is music, why do you need a window?
puppetSound which channel wich(audio)CastMember would give you your music and
with the sound channel a puppet, you could control it with lingo.

If you goto another movie, your audio will stop when you leave the original
movie...
