Magic 8 Ball shaking sound

[Roberito]

so im working on the magic 8 ball as a class assignment to get started into coding with this and im trying to figure out how to make it so that when i am shaking the phone it makes the sound continuously and then when i stop shaking it stops the sound and gives the reply and i got everything except for the shaking thing working fine please help i tried the player and i cant figure out how to make that work the way i want it to, i want the sound to toggle on and off based on if i the phone is shaking or not

thats my code rn btw

use the Player component instead of the Sound component, because the Player component also offers a Completed event... now just put a Player.Start method inside that event...

btw. you might be interested in how to avoid redundancy?

A very good way to learn App Inventor is to read the free Inventor's Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook   http://www.appinventor.org/book2 ... the links are at the bottom of the Web page.  The book 'teaches' users how to program with AI2 blocks.

There is a free programming course here http://www.appinventor.org/content/CourseInABox/Intro  and the aia files for the projects in the book are here:  http://www.appinventor.org/bookFiles  

How to do a lot of basic things with App Inventor are described here:  http://www.appinventor.org/content/howDoYou/eventHandling  .

Also do the tutorials http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/tutorials.html to learn the basics of App Inventor, then try something and follow the
