I have a main menu for the game I am making. So far everything is working as planned. Everything except one thing. I am using sprites for my menu options and I want it so that whenever the cursor moves over one of the sprites a clicking sound is made. I've got it so that it plays the sound. My problem is that the sound repeats continuously very fast especially if the cursor is left over the sprite. I want it so that even if you left the cursor over the sprite the sound would stop until I moved it over another sprite or away from and to that same sprite again. I have tried using the wait and sleep commands, but it puts too much of a pause in the loop and it isn't good. I have also tried stopping and then restarting the soud, but that didn't work either. Anyone know any techniques good for this or any theories?? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

You would need to check to see what sprite the pointer was previously over and the current one. If the two dont compare then play the sound and make the previous one the same as the current one. Something along the lines of :

Aye I would use a temp variable field ie
flag=1
if cursor over sprite and flag = 1 then play sound : flag = 0 ofcourse after it goes over another sprite toy will need to make flag = 1 again.

after it plays once it wont again as flag is now 0.

I'll leave you to work out the actual code.

hope that helps
