XWidgetSoft Forum

Playing a sound and then following it with a second sound causes sound 2 not to appear.

if (preferencessoundprefvalue.text != "disabled" ) {PlaySound(counter);};
if (preferencessoundprefvalue.text != "disabled" ) {PlaySound(ting);};

The 'ting' is never played.

Using PlaySound or PlaySound2 commands makes no difference.

This is a limitation of Xwidgets (in comparison to other tools/engines) and ought to be fixed.

I made widgets with sounds. I don't know what other tools/engines do but yes, XWidget can reproduce one sound each time.
So it's not a "bug", but the way that XWidget works..

No. it is a bug (thankyou for the link).

Regardless of engine, if you play one sound then follow it with another, either one sound should follow the other if they are played in a serial fashion or they should be asynchronous and be able to run in parallel.

Both sounds should play.

What happens is that the first sound plays and the second is not heard. This is CLEARLY a bug as the command is executed but nothing happens. This is unintended functionality and a result of how the playSound command is implemented.

So, please let us not waste time to discuss bugs. I am not looking for workarounds or discussions on the technicalities of the bug itself. This is merely a BUG report for Tony so that he can determine what functionality he wishes to include/fix in Xwidgets 2.0 (in the absence of a real bug reporting system the forum will have to suffice).

It isn't for you to decide, it is for Tony.

The forum is being used to supply bugs for Tony to determine what he wants to do, not you, nor me.

When a bug is typically submitted, the developer determines the state of the bug, the severity and assigns it as being accepted or not. That is for Tony to determine. We have no other location to submit a bug so please just leave this one alone. We do NOT need to discuss it as we won't be fixing it, I certainly do not as it is clear to me what it is. I have raised the bug and Tony can take it or not. He is unlikely to fix it in version 1 but he may choose to fix it in version 2.

You didn't understand my point of view... No need to be offensive!
Anyway I don't want to discuss it more. Let's wait for v2.0. Tony reports a lot of changes so maybe the new designer will support this.
