New sound function

R0bin · #1 10-09-2002, 12:38 AM

Function to get the length of a sound / music file in the memory.

E.g. Like imgwidth.. soundlength(soundfile)

play stef23.mid;
this.length=soundlength(stef23.mid);

Also a function to find the current position of the file.

currentsoundpos(stef23.mid);

or you could use indexes instead of the filename, but it would mean changing the play function to be more like showimg

play 56,stef23.mid;
if (currentsoundpos(56)>soundlength(56)-2000) {
fadeout();
}
function fadeout() {
for (i=1;i<-0.05;i-=0.05) {
setmusicvolume i,i;
}
}

the currentsoundpos return value would be in milliseconds, so would the sound length. hence the "-2000" part in my script, because 2000 milliseconds is 2 seconds

Nice, but what would you need it for?

That would be really cool. Alot better than putting the actual values for certain songs yourself, limiting the number of songs that would actually work.

I suppose this idea would be nice if you wanted to create a music player with a GUI.
