I need a little more help understanding DirectMusic. I have created in the DirectMusic producer a segment file and a DLS file. However, I don't know how to use the tracks in the segment to play the instrument I created in the DLS file. Concerning the programming aspect, do I need to first load the DLS file into the DirectMusicInstruments object, then load the segment file into the Segment object and then set the segment object into the performance object and just play? or is there something else I need to do? Thanks in advance. ofer. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Y! Web Hosting - Let the expert host your web site
