[Xerte] Problem looping sound controlled by script - Xerte 2 desktop

[Mary Ann Ahearn]

I was feeling smug enough about controlling sound via script yesterday to
dare to post an answer to someone's question!!  Ha!  The gods don't like
hubris.

Today everything is different.

I've got a button that plays a sound when clicked. I'd like the sound to
loop and the button to toggle it on and off

It seems to forget its loop value when I start controlling it via script.

mySoundIcon.play();

However if I just put the sound icon under a button icon and set it to play
=1 and loop = 5, then the looping works and all is fine.  I can even stop it
and reset it without any problems.  Just can't manage to play it from script
more than one time.

Tried putting an onSoundComplete event to reset it and play it but it just
went mad and looped very bizarrely without ever waiting to finish.

Then I tried the getSound route but can't seem to get the timing right so
this always returns undefined.

Any ideas?  I think I must be missing something very simple.

Thanks!
