Playing music in Turing Help Needed

[Foundation]

Hi, in my version of turing, Music.PlayFile does not work. Though I put the correct filename and extensions in, it does not work. The music file is in the same directory as the turing file. I have the newest version of turing, and I don't know what's wrong with my program. Please help, and if i didn't provide enough information, please informe me.

what kind of doesn't work? compile time error (doesn't compile), run time error (program crashes when run), or the program works, but you don't hear the sound?

Yeah, I don't hear anything when the program runs. Nothing's wrong with my speakers, playing music in RealPlayer and Windows Media's fine. I don't know what's wrong.

If the program doesn't give you an error message but you don't hear the music, then the problem is likely that you did not put it in a process and then fork it with the rest of your program. You might want to use Music.PlayFileReturn instead, then you don't have to use a process, just put the Music.PlayFileReturn command at the beginning of your program.

I'm tried the Music.PlayFileReturn method, but I still don't hear anything. I did put it in a process, with a loop and forked it. It even made my program go slower than usual! But just no sound. The file doesn't have any bad problems, nor the program. The music file also seems okay, as it plays in Windows media player. Thanks for all your help, I appreciate your attention.

instead of using a process try Music.PlayFileLoop

How about you post the source code that is giving you problems. We'll probably be able to help you better that way.

Well, thanks for all your help folks. But I finally figured it out.
I had a complex filing system on all of my folders. Example :
Schools/school year 2006 - 2007/subject/project/images/"file.bmp". This is only one of the simplest examples. Sometimes I have to click over 10 files to get to what I wanted to get to. But it helps to keep everything organized, so I can find what I want when I want to.
And once I changed the music file and the turing file to \My Documents, it all worked out perfectly. Sorry for the almost false alarm there.

But the thing is, I found out that maybe turing can't take such a long file directory to find the music file that is *right beside* the turing source file. Turing makes me have a headache sometimes...

I'm pretty sure that if the file is "right beside" your saved program then all you have to do is put the file name.

i.e. "file.bmp" would be all you need. It helps to keep it simpler.

But then again I could be wrong. This is only my first year with Turing.
