ChannelPlaying

ChannelPlaying (channel_handle)

Parameters:

channel_handle = variable assigned to the channel when played

Description:

Often you will need to know if a sound channel has completed playing or not. This command will return 1 if the sound is still playing or 0 if it has stopped. Use this to restart your background music or some other sound that might have stopped unintentionally.

Note: This command currently doesn't seem to work with a channel assigned to CD track playback.

Example:

; Channel examples

Print "Loading sound ..."
; Load the sample - you'll need to point this to a sound on your computer
; For best results, make it about 5-10 seconds...
sndWave=LoadSound("level1.wav")

Print "Playing full sample until sound is done ..."
chnWave=PlaySound(sndWave) 
While ChannelPlaying(chnWave)
Wend 
Print "All done!"
