    Hey Asher,

    Your probably right about the string...   Here is what I am trying to
do.


This is the Declare I have made:

====

FMODEX.FMOD_System_CreateSound:
Protected Function FMOD_System_CreateSound(ByVal SystemFMOD As Integer,
ByVal name_or_data As String, ByVal mode As Integer, exinfo As integer,
ByRef Sound As Integer) As Integer
  
  #if targetWin32
  #elseif targetLinux
  #elseif targetMachO
    
    Dim result as Integer
    Dim stringPtr as MemoryBlock
    
    stringPtr = FMODEX.stringToMemoryBlock(name_or_data)
    
    
    Declare Function FMOD_System_CreateSound Lib FMODdylibLocation (ByVal
System As Integer, name_or_data As Ptr, ByVal mode As Integer, ByRef exinfo
As Integer, ByRef Sound As Integer) As Integer
    result = FMOD_System_CreateSound( SystemFMOD, stringPtr.CString(0),
mode, exinfo, Sound )
    
    return result
    
  #endif
End Function

====



And this is the "FMODEX.stringToMemoryBlock" helper function,

====

FMODEX.stringToMemoryBlock:
Protected Function stringToMemoryBlock(stringToConvert as String) As
MemoryBlock
   
  Dim memBlock as MemoryBlock
  memBlock = NewMemoryBlock( len(stringToConvert) + 1 )
  
  memBlock.CString(0) = stringToConvert
  
  return memBlock
  
  
End Function

====


    I am totally, clueless at this point. [I am blaming it on my evil cats].

    Any ideas, let me know

    Peace

    Stan



For reference...
Here is the method from the FMODEX Docs.

====

System::createSound
Loads a sound into memory, or opens it for streaming.?

Syntax  
FMOD_RESULT System::createSound(   char *  name_or_data,    FMOD_MODE  mode,
FMOD_CREATESOUNDEXINFO *  exinfo,    FMOD::Sound **  sound );

====

This is the VB version of the same Function.

====

Public Declare Function FMOD_System_CreateSound Lib "fmodex.dll" (ByVal
System As Long, ByVal name_or_data As String, ByVal mode As FMOD_MODE, ByRef
exinfo As FMOD_CREATESOUNDEXINFO, ByRef Sound As Long) As FMOD_RESULT

====

NOTES:   Although "EXINFO" is a structure, you can also pass it a null [0]
since it is optional.
