Hello everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem I'm having. For some reason, when in a class, I cannot access the Sound object provided by the audio module.

I am using Python 1.1.6 alpha, with a 1st edition C++ SDK. This script is only running on the emulator.

The issue is as follows:

When I run the following code, there is no problems, and I hear the sound.

import audio
f = 'Z:\\system\\sounds\\digital\\Startup.wav'
s = Sound.open(f)
s.play()

However, when I work with the application I'm building, it comes up with "NameError: global name 'sound' is not defined"

import audio

...

class MyClass:

...

    def play_file(self):
    	self.sound_obj = Sound.open('Z:\\system\\sounds\\digital\\Startup.wav')
    	self.sound_obj.play

The play_file method is called by using the appuifw menu.

Does anyone know why I'm getting these errors, when I've got many more modules with statements nested deeper than this Sound object?

Thanks
Jeremy

Neither of the code snippets you posted should work, since you are importing just one name: "audio".

If you say "import audio" you have to access the Sound class like this: "audio.Sound". If you want the Sound name imported into your namespace you either have to say "from audio import Sound" or "from audio import *".

Thanks. I'm still learning the little nuances of Python.
