SoundID

SoundID (Function)

Format

soundid

returns integer_expression

Description

Returns the id of the most recently played sound. This is the same id SoundPlayer returns, but it lets you capture the id of a sound started with the simpler SoundPlay statement, so you can address it afterwards with SoundStop, SoundLength, and the other functions that take a player#.

Example

soundplay "song.mp3"
music = soundid          # capture the id of what just started
pause 2.0
print soundposition(music)
soundstop music
