Was wondering if anyone could tell me how to put a looping wav file in the
splash screen script below. What I have tryed seems to crash when I try to
run it. My wav file title is song.wav to keep it simple. And what I want is it
to play over and over until the space bar is pressed to start the game. Below
is the script I have written with help from the forum.
Thank you

panel splash_1(){bmap = splash1;layer = 25;}

panel splash_3(){bmap = splash3;layer = 25;}
panel splash_4(){bmap = splash4;layer = 25;}
panel splash_5(){bmap = splash5;layer = 25;}

panel* screen_syn = splash_1;

var temper;

starter splash_start
{
freeze_mode = 1;
WHILE (1) {
temper=0;

WHILE (temper < 48) {
screen_syn .visible = on;
temper += time;
IF (key_space == 1) { screen_syn.VISIBLE = OFF; Goto finish; }
wait (1);
}
screen_syn.VISIBLE = OFF;
IF (screen_syn == splash_5) { screen_syn = splash_2; continue; }
IF (screen_syn == splash_4) { screen_syn = splash_5; }
IF (screen_syn == splash_3) { screen_syn = splash_4; }
IF (screen_syn == splash_2) { screen_syn = splash_3; }
IF (screen_syn == splash_1) { screen_syn = splash_2; }
}
finish :
freeze_mode = 0;
// remove bmaps from memory
bmap_purge(splash1);
bmap_purge(splash2);
bmap_purge(splash3);
bmap_purge(splash4);
bmap_purge(splash5);


}

Try this... Hope it works
