Code: Select all

but that didn't end the song when I clicked it a second time... did I do the command wrong or something?
First, it's just [PLAYSTOP] not [!PLAYSTOP]. You don't use the ! character with the various PLAY commands.
Second, that won't work. Any PLAY command will in and of itself stop any currently playing sound before it plays, so the PLAYSTOP is redundant.
See my post just above this one for the solution.

the whole code for this is
Code: Select all
[MeterLauncherText]
meter=string
meterstyle=textstyle
text="Merry Christmas!"
x = 0
y = 0
FontFace=Beyond Wonderland
FontColor=20,160,255,255
FontSize=80
StringStyle=Bold
SolidColor=1,1,1,1
LeftMouseUpAction=[PLAY "#@#Sounds\Christmas.wav"]

PLAYSTOP bang to do so. If you want the click to play another random sound from the folder, you just have it update the QuotePlugin measure, and execute a PLAY bang using the QuotePLugin measure's value as the sound to play. If you want both, you will need two buttons, one for "stop" and one for "play".

ok, so basically the easiest way I see doing this is make 1 button that says "Merry" set it for play and a second that says "Christmas" and have it set to stop. eh, I guess that will have to do lol. I was kind of thinking about splitting it into two anyway but was trying to get around that

Yes, or have a left click "play" and a right or middle click "stop".
Or have a left click "stop" and a left double-click "play".

ok well I did have
Code: Select all
LeftMouseUpAction=[!PLAYSTOP][PLAY "#@#Sounds\Christmas.wav"]
MiddleMouseUpAction=[!PLAYSTOP][STOP "#@#Sounds\Christmas.wav"]
that wasn't working, but I did have the "!" still in there so maybe thats why...

That is entirely wrong.
Code: Select all
LeftMouseUpAction=[PLAY "#@#Sounds\Christmas.wav"]
MiddleMouseUpAction=[PLAYSTOP]
That is all you need.

don't suppose you would know how to make a "blinking" text would you? lol
if not I will play around with that when I get off work later.
I did some research on it last night but wasn't able to find much on doing it the way I was trying to do it.
pretty much I want this banner I made to flash in random colors at a given rate. (change colors every "X" milliseconds) or something to that effect
for this I have about 5 or 6 colors I want it to cycle through if that can be done
might be something else I can't get the way I want it on here but thought it would be cool if it could be done
