Adding Background Music

[kokolovehuh]

I have had a trouble recently in putting the background into my program, the file type is mp3/wav.
What I want to do is basically NOT to make the music like a block, which means the rest of the program runs after all the music,
and eventually the music is playing but the program is still running, kind of like a background

Can anybody help me out, please?

i havent done turing in a while but what you would want to do is make a process

so something like

code:

process bgmusic %code to play music here end bgmusic

and then you play your music by calling your process:

code:

fork bgmusic

my turing is really rusty so someone might have to clean that up

code:

process playmusic      Music.Playfile ("song.mp3") end playmusic fork playmusic

don't use a wav file, they can't 'fork'. Only 1 wav can be played at a time i.e. calling another wav will cancel out your background.

yeah use mp3's for music and wavs for sound effects

ok, but then there is an error at the line "Music.Playfile ("song.mp3")"

it says: 'Playfile is not in the export list of 'Music'

It's Music.PlayFile ("song.mp3") . F is capital.

Oops...

The trick to making these things work is to swith out capitals until the word turns from blue to black.

Or, if you can't seem to get it right. F10 it and search for it. You'll surely get it done faster that way then by capitalizing random letters.
