have a look at this code:

play sound 1
wait 1000
play sound 1

the sound takes more than 1 sec, so when the sound is played for the 2nd time, the sound stops and restarts

I want the sound of the first time to continue when it's played again... anyone who knows how I can do this (without having to use another sound number, which should increase loading time)?

Uhm, o_O, you had the solution with the other sound number, I dont think loading on sound more or less makes all that much difference on performance, and I wouldnt know another way. Maybe if you use many sounds, make a loading screen that you see while loading, which takes away some of the drags of waiting for media to load.

Whatever I did I didn't do it!

CLONE SOUND
This command will clone a sound into the specified Destination Sound Number. Cloning a sound will create a new sound that can be played like any other loaded sound, but uses the same WAV data of the original sound. The advantage of sound cloning is that one hundred sounds could be used with only a single instance of the sound data stored in memory. The Sound Number must be an integer value.

SYNTAX
CLONE SOUND Destination Sound Number, Source Sound Number

thanks!

anyway, I already finished that program (it was only a little one, coz I was bored yesterday) without having the same sound simultaneously played. Here you can download it: http://http://pat.f2o.org/bernie/agogos.zip . You can use the mouse+up/down/left/right keys to look around, and the left and right mouse button to play on the instrument.
