Hi.
I am having a problem with getting sound effects to play continuously
until told to stop (loop).
I thought the way to do it was to first use the -L when using aiff2vag
to make it a looping sound effect, and then in the program create an ID
for the sound effect (like LASER) and then when wanting to start the
sound write: LASER = SsUtKeyOn(), and then when stopping it, write:
LASER = SsUtKeyOff(). Is this correct? or am I missing something.

I have a feeling my broblem is in the arguments passed to the two
functions. Maybe someone could explain to me what exactly needs to be
done special to make a sound effect loop?
