Sound in the iOS Simulator

[Graham Samuel]

IMHO the bug is still there. I'm using LC 5.0.2, running under MacOS Lion 10.7.3. The Simulator is version 5.0 (272) - the hang occurred in the simulator and the device (forgot to say that before). 

In fact even after I took the test out, I have not yet got my app to make a sound on my device either. I think it may be something about having to use full paths for my sounds, but I am not at all sure. They work fine under the IDE, as I said. They are .aif files which should be OK on iOS, I think.

I will ask LC support about the "sound is done" issue.

Thanks

Graham

According to the LC Dictionary, a 'wait' will always return 'done' if no sound is playing. Well, I didn't hear anything, so I should have got 'done', shouldn't I?
