use-livecode Digest, Vol 105, Issue 41

[Roger Guay]

Thanks, Chris. I tried a number of variations of your suggestion to no avail!

I tried these code snippets:

		put the engine folder & "/assets/mySnd.caf" into tSoundFile
     or 	put specialFolderPath("engine") & "/mySnd.caf" into tSoundFile

      mobilePlaySoundOnChannel tSoundFile, "current", "now"

I tried these for both wav and caf file formats, again all to no avail.

I copied sound files directly into the "non-stack files in the application" of the Standalone Application Settings. I'm sure I'm doing something stupid (again), but I can't figure it out. I would greatly appreciate any more help you might provide.

BTW, you suggest verifying "that it's copying correctly in the app bundle". How do I do that?

Thanks,
Roger
