I used play_soundfile function in my code, and everyting was OK until i made 'resource'. When I start the game by the exe file sounds files are not played. (I copied them to the resorce dir.) Everything is OK when I 'publish' or run the game from Wed. Where's the problem?

Just a thought - have you checked that your file path is still okay - I would have thought that something in the path may have changed when you copied it. (note that this function requires the use of an external file as compared with using angular brackets, try using a relative dos path e.g ".//Sounds//my_sound.wav").
p.s. I just tried this suggestion, but it does not work! Despite this, it gives no errors (i.e sound file is found but nothing plays).

I tried all that but it didn't work. The path is set, and relative dos path is not good becasue it gives back a message that the file name is too long. Thanks anyway...

Although it may not help, you can overcome the DOS path problem by using the 'dot' to navigate from the current directory. e.g ".//Sounds//my_sound.wav". A double dot will take you up one level e.g "..//Work//Sounds//my_sound.wav"
From your reply it appears you may have set up a special project directory. Have you tried moving your files to the "Work" directory and rebuilding? The soundfile code seems a bit picky in its path definitions.

BIND ".\..\SOUNDS\my_sound.wav"; or, whatever is appropriate for your DOS path/filenames.

Well, I suppose that BIND will include wav files into the resource file anyway. And that's what i wanted to avoid... As I was said by Conitec's support currently it is not possible to load WAV files outside of the resource file. This will be changed in one of the next free A5 updates. Thanks everybody for help
