Hold on Frame until cuepoint = end

Question

Hi all,
I am still struggling with a basic problem (yes I am a lingo
newbie).
Simply, I want to hold on a frame until a sound is finished.
I am trying to write something that checks if the cuepoint "end" is
reached, else it loops. If cuepoint "end" is reached, then it
should go next marker.
I know it sounds simple, but I am lost here.
Any ideas would be great and helpful! Thanks in
advance!!!

Answer 1

This is the script I was using - placed in the script
channel. I wasn't
checking for the name of the cuepoint, just that one had
occurred. But,
I'm, sure you can modify it a little bit to find the name.
--Holds playback head on frame until cuepoint is passed in
audio file
--Audio file must be in sound channel 2
--(Use Sound Forge to place markers in audio file.)
--(Use for slide shows.)
on enterframe
if soundBusy(2) = 0 then
go to the frame + 1
end if
on cuepassed channel, number, name
go the frame + 1
end
on exitFrame
go to the frame
end
