Sound in Animations

Use "create" to create a sound object and in a routine specify which sound to play and other manipulations.
To play a sound, it must be in mp3 format for maximum portability. Some browsers may have issues with sound fade effects.

_all rather than a sound name can be used for: play, mute, unmute, pause, and unpause.

end

create routine as ChangeMusic
  stop sound sndMusic1 where fadeout=1200
  play sound sndMusic2 // no parameters supported
  pause sound sndMusic2 where fadeout=500
  unpause sound sndMusic2 where fadein=500
  mute sound sndMusic2 where fadeout=500
