I am making an OS in scratch and am currently working on the music app. I added a pause and play button to play American Boy. It dosen't work.

Please help.

Can you tell me what you're trying to pause? If you're trying to pause the music try using this

Pause:

set [pitch v] effect to (-100)

Play:

set [pitch v] effect to (100)

I'm trying to pause the music that is playing in the “Music App” sprite. When the play button is pressed (after clicking the music app), it should play the song then pause when I press the button.

That wouldn't work because the music would keep playing in the background, even if slowly. What would work better would be this:

when I receive [pause music v]
set [pitch v] effect to (-10000000000)
set volume to (0) %
when I receive [play music v]
set [pitch v] effect to (0)
set volume to (100) %

Low pitch makes the sound slow down, and setting the pitch to a really low number creates the illusion of pausing and playing the audio. I added the volume block so that the computer wouldn't be able to detect the really low pitched slow sound to ensure the illusion stayed.

Here:

when I receive [pause v]
set [pitch v] effect to ((-1) / (0))
set volume to (0)%

when I receive [play v]
set [pitch v] effect to (0)
set volume to (100)%

Thank you so much!
I haven't even though about using broadcasts.
This worked. Thanks.
