As far as I recall, fork causes the program to split up into separate entities. They do not get equal CPU time. Therefore, they will create odd situations. However I cannot offer a solution. |

I have a feeling you are using fork inside a loop. Try using the procedure Music.PlayFileReturn instead. |

Despite the fact that the almighty search button is just above where you are looking, I will point you in the right direction, pointed out by Tony here. Tony @ Thu Dec 28, 2006 5:43 pm wrote: using a process with nested Music.PlayFile has been depreciated. Use Music.PlayFileReturn() instead. |

Masta_911, I'm sure you would find help more willingly coming if you weren't so pushy. Really, just stop posting within a half hour of your previous posts. Someone will get to it eventually. We aren't paid to be here and answer questions all day long. I can think of only two members of this site that do not go to school (that I have talked to), and they have wisely chosen to stay the hell away from Turing. Also realize that this is a relatively tiny forum compared to others out there, it will take time to get an answer in a lot of cases. Just sit back, and work on the problem yourself until you find that an answer has been posted. Also note that double posting is against [[The Rules]]. |
