I think that there should be a Fast Forward block in addition to the sound blocks catagory when scratch 2.0 comes out. It would allow you skip to a certain point in a sound intantly when used in scripts. Its layout would be the following:
FAST FORWARD ( ) SECS
Whole numbers, decimals and variables would be able to be placed in the ( ) section.
You could use it to skip through a sound like this:
PLAY SOUND ( )
then,
FAST FORWARD ( ) SECS
I also think that a Stop Sound Block would be a good addition to the sound blocks catagory. Its layout would be the following:
STOP SOUND ( )
It would allow you to stop a specific sound instead of all of the ones currently playing.
The Fast Forward Sound Block and Stop Sound Block used together could allow you to easily crop a sound to your liking.
Please comment and give your thoughts on this idea.
Thanks!
