Sounds are tricky to work with. If you want it to loop, you will most likely need a variable system to work with. Something I always do is:

when whatever to initiate sound happens
set variable to 1
repeat until <variable = 0>
play new sound until end
end

Then, when you want that sound to stop looping or switch to another sound:

when whatever happens to stop sound
set variable to 0
stop all sounds                 //this is absolutely necessary after setting your variable.
switch to new sound 
set variable to 1                //everything on this line and after is the same as first script. Same variable to switch sounds.
repeat until <variable = 0>     
play new sound until end
end

Hope I helped! (:

They dont work sad
I want the main menu music to play, but suddenly stop when you click the shop button and at that point the shop music plays. Is that possible?

RedRocker227 · 2012-02-08 11:36:17

Are you using broadcasts for when the shop button is clicked?

zizou98 · 2012-02-08 11:38:15

yes, and i also added a variable that changes every time you go to a different menu.

Can you give is a link to your project? It's easier to see the problem if the scripts are available.

zizou98 · 2012-02-08 11:55:48

this is the link. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/zizou98/2320070
There is no actual game yet because I want to put the music in first, to get something out of the way.
PLEASE HELP! THIS IS FOR A SCHOOL PROJECT!!!
And yes it is based on the works of HP lovecraft. smile

TomPetrov · 2012-05-08 13:46:10

zizou98, how did you manage it? I need to do a school project, too. I can't change loop from main menu to bonus. Please help me out. I'll owe you a lot.

Although the variable idea is a good one, if you are using a forever loop, it will continue to play the song to it's end, and then switch. Or worse,play them both at the same time. What you can do, is send a broadcast every time you go to the menu, or bonus screen. Then have scripts that say, when i recieve menu, stop all sounds, play sound menu music until done. That way, the sounds actually stop. The only downside is it won't loop.
