Scratch

All right, your wording's a little confusing but I think I get what you're saying. When you broadcast a variable by taking the variable name from the variable block list, the round orange block with the name on it, and placing it on the dropdown list and snapping it into that space, it broadcasts the value of the variable. For instance, the script

broadcast [sound exist]

will broadcast the value of the variable at the time the script is executed. What is the hat block of the script that tells the sprite to see if "sound exist" equals zero. You know, is it, when green flag clicked, when I recieve..., or something like that?

I would try:

when flag clicked
forever
if <(sound exist)=(0)>
broadcast [play v]
else
broadcast [stop v]
end
end

Then on another sprite:

when I receive [play v]
Play sound [music v] until done

when I receive [stop v]
forever 
stop all sounds
end

The thing is: I am trying to control the actions of another sprite not the sound . However, I think I can apply this strategy to that end. Thanks! Also, I didn't know you could have multiple scripts for the same sprite... I'm learning!

My operator doesn't look like the one in my last post either! It has pointy ends and the string is on a white background like the integer. do I need to put the variable name in parenthesis when I fill in the little white boxes of the = operator? what am I not getting?
