I've done this now :D but cant figure out how to use the same button to stop it :? like the standby button for a T.V. (on/off) :(

Also is there a way (with the toggle Function) to have 2 different sound files play :?: :-

Hi shaggy79,

I have some tutorials that might help you.

Start with the first one, then do the second one:
1. Example.xml revamp
2. Techniques: controlling multiple programs

Technique 3 of the second tutorial can be adapted for your purpose to cycle/toggle between two states.

And yes, just add the appropriate Actions to the two states for the DVD drive door and the sounds.

Hi WharfRat Thanks for you patience, :oops:
