I'm looking for a way to stop a say block that has been set to a fixed duration. For example, if one Sprite is instructed to say “blah blah blah ……..” for 10 seconds, but the user initiates a key press after about 5 seconds that switches to another scene; if that sprite is still visible on the next scene, it continues the say block.

Since the say block is located in a different sprite would I need to setup additional broadcast, listeners to stop the scripts? The keyboard event scripts are currently located in the stage.

Thank you for any assistance.

Use
say (blah)
wait (10)
say ()
instead of say (blah) for (10)
and then you can use say () whenever you want to stop it before 10 secs.

Thanks. I will give that a try.
