How exactly do you call up a snd resource with Hypercard scripts? I ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You can use the "play" command in HC to play any sound. The Boing sound built into HC is an example of this. The syntax of the play command is: play "voice" [ tempo ] [ "notes" ] For example, 'play "boing"' will play the boing sample. You can also play notes based on a sample by using the optional notes. The notes are specified in the following form: notename accidental octave duration Notename can be a thru g, accidental is # and b specify sharp and flat, octave is a number specifying the pitch of the scale (4 is the "middle c" scale) and duration specifies the relative time value of the note played: w whole note h half note q quarter note e eight note s 16th note t 32th note x 64th note and an optional . or 3 following duration can be used to specify a dotted or triplet not. Now, and example: play "boing" tempo 200 "c4e c dq c e# eh" The complete definition of the play command is in "Hypercard Script Language Guide" available from APDA. Most of this article is from the guide, page 7-11 (working draft 4) > >Thank you in advance for replies on both these inquiries, Eric. >------- >ERIC H.

If they are in different files then copy them into Hypercard using resedit (or you can copy them into a stack, or even into your system file I suppose). If you need help on resedit ask, but it's fairly straightforward. Then in Hypercard just say play "name-of-snd-resource" and you should be all set. -- ### {mit-erl,yale,uw-beaver}!apollo!nazgul ### apollo!nazgul@eddie.mit.edu ### ### pro-angmar!nazgul@pro-sol.cts.com ### nazgul@apollo.com ### ### (617) 641-3722 300/1200/2400 ### ### I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate everyone else's.
