Playing Sounds and Music through Expressions

Deelia

Hello, everyone!

I'm currently developing a game that reads through a spreadsheet to determine images. I had hoped to also tie certain sounds to those images, depending on what row the game's currently on. For example, on row 18, the game would display "img-smiley-face.png" and play the sound "sfx-buzz.mp3".

However, I realize there may not be an option to do that the same way you can change the Image attribute via a Change Attribute behavior, i.e. changing an actor's self.Image attribute to tableCellValue(table,row,column).

Does anyone know if there's a way to do this currently?

The only way I can figure to do it now is use a Rule, so that it says when game.Row = 18, play Sound "sfx-buzz.mp3"...but I'd like to avoid that since there are over 2000 lines that would need sound.

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!

I'm afraid the you only way to currently play sounds and music in GS is with the traditional Play Behaviors.

I was afraid of that. :(

I might go through the trouble of getting all 2000+ lines in individually using Rules to see how much it impacts the app size.

This remains my most wanted new GS feature.
