_SNDLIMIT

The _SNDLIMIT statement stops playing a sound after it has been playing for a set number of seconds.

Parameters

• The handle& variable name is created using the _SNDOPEN function from a loaded sound file.
• numberOfSeconds! is a SINGLE value of seconds that the sound will play.

Description
