this is what i currently have
PRINT "Loading..."
soundHandle& = _SNDOPEN("Music.mp3") 'opens the sound file
_SNDPLAYFILE "Music.mp3", , .25 'plays the sound file
what I want it to do is a percentage to go up while it loads, if possible,
Since I don't know the size of the file to be loaded, all I can offer is this:
REM sample to display approx. percent while loading file
CLS
PRINT "Loading..."
PRINT "000%";
ON TIMER(1) GOSUB DisplayPercent
TIMER ON
soundHandle& = _SNDOPEN("Music.mp3") 'opens the sound file
_SNDPLAYFILE "Music.mp3", , .25 'plays the sound file
DO WHILE INKEY$="":LOOP 'wait while sound plays
TIMER OFF 'turn off timer after entire file played
END
DisplayPercent:
P = P + 10
IF P <= 100 THEN
FOR L = 1 TO 4
PRINT CHR$(29); " "; CHR$(29);
NEXT
PRINT RIGHT$("000" + MID$(STR$(P), 2), 3); "%";
END IF
RETURN
