Problems with repeating sound

[ctaktak]

I am trying to make a basic Pac man style game. I have imported the gobble sounds and successfully tied it to the Up arrow keypress. My problem is that if the user hold down the key it plays several instances of the file at the same time and sounds like a Pac man nightmare. How do I set it to only play one instance of the sound at a time and repeat it after the file finishes?

Thanks

This is just spitballing off the top of my head, so here goes.

First, I think you can set the sound to loop until stopped. Do that.

up key code:

if(x == 1)
{
     playSound; 
     moveDude;
     x=2;
}
else
{
     moveDude;
} 

up key RELEASE code:

  stopMove;
  stopSound;
  x=1; 

see how that works for you.
