Hi Team and everyone,

I am getting frustrated with such a tiny thing!
I am sure you will be able to solve this for me.

I am playing a series of notes in a repeat loop.
But I want to allow the user to stop the music if so desired.

The scripts I have been trying are these...

repeat while x< y
put line x of tmusic into tAudio

if the environment is mobile then
play (specialFolderPath ("cache") & "/theContent/" & tAudio)
else
set the defaultFolder to specialFolderPath("desktop")
play audioClip ("sounds/" & tAudio)
end if
wait 1 seconds
add 1 to x
end repeat

or


repeat while x< y
put line x of tmusic into tAudio

if the environment is mobile then
put (specialFolderPath ("cache") & "/theContent/" & tAudio) into tPath
put "queued" into tChannelName
put "next" into tType
mobilePlaySoundOnChannel tPath, tChannelName, tType
else
set the defaultFolder to specialFolderPath("desktop")
play audioClip ("sounds/" & tAudio)
end if
wait 1 seconds
add 1 to x
end repeat

I can get "the mouseClick" to be recognised on the mac, but not on the iPhone.
How can I interrupt the repeat?

All the best,
Jessamy

You could try:

Also in a repeat loop, a wait statement will be blocking.

Try :
which should allow o/s housekeeping processes to deal with messages like button presses and so on.

Thankyou both very much!

I actually used the second idea and it works perfectly!

Much appreciated.
All the best,
Jessamy
