Staying open

[flynch 0]

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("Hello World", 200, 100)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Music", 60, 8)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

SoundPlay("D:\Music\Song.mp3",0)

Sleep(100000)

This is my first script. Been reading the tuts so you'll recognise it. How do I keep the script open during the song? Without having some obsurd Sleep?

The flag on the SoundPlay() function should be holding your script up until the sound finishes, maybe jsut put a:

While 1

WEnd

at the end of your script.

I knew that, but it stops you from closing the program. So you have to listen to the whole sound. The song is about 5mins and if I want to cancel it then... Ctrl+alt+del ftl.

so add a hotkey to exit

[optional] This flag determines if the script should wait for the sound to finish before continuing:

1 = wait until sound has finished

0 = continue script while sound is playing (default)

If 1 is there, nothing else in the script will happen because its paused.

If 0 is there, I have to put in a crazy sleep time to stop it quitting 10 seconds into the song.

#include <Sound.au3>
$Sound="path to sound"
$Length=_SoundLength($Sound,2)
_SoundPlay($Sound,0)
Sleep($Length)

Nahuels worked =]. But im still not happy with using Sleep.. Weaponx yours did what i said it would do. Played song, then froze. Throughout the song. Had to ctrl+alt+del again -.-.

I really don't get what you want...

[DW1 102]

that is a good question... what DO you want?

Both of the codes posted should work fine

You want to play a song in the background? and then have the script exit after its done playing?

[DW1 102]

#include <Sound.au3>
$Sound = "path to sound"
$Length = _SoundLength($Sound, 2)
_SoundPlay($Sound, 0)
$timer = TimerInit
While 1
    Sleep(10)
    If TimerDiff($timer) > $Length Then ExitLoop
WEnd
;all your other code goes here

Like that?

Well the one I posted does that. And you can quit by right-clicking the tray icon.... So I don't know..

[DW1 102]

yeah... I don't get what he wants

When I use the one with (the fish avatar forgot his name) it works fine. But doesn't the sleep thing screw up any other code I want to work? Such as after i play the song, I want to click buttons in the program. Won't it stop me from doing ti until the sleep is finished?

Basic outline:

Open program:

Music plays:

Do stuff in program:

Close whenever you want:

Use this then.. should do what you want.

#include <Sound.au3>
$Sound = "path to sound"
$Length = _SoundLength($Sound, 2)
_SoundPlay($Sound, 0)
$timer = TimerInit
While 1
    Sleep(10)
    If TimerDiff($timer) > $Length Then ExitLoop
        ;Do all your stuff here
WEnd

-edit-

wait.. if you want to do something else after, not while playing the song... then there's no problem using sleep()
