Unfortunately, the amount of sound functions included in the VB runtimes is zero. On top of that, 99% of the .NET libraries containing sound playback abilities require the file to be on disk instead of in memory. There are really no halfway decent options that I know of right now.

You could use FMOD, but I'm not sure it has a version for VB.

For VB6, yes. I don't know if there's API for VB.NET, but that's not a problem, because you can import functions from any dll in VB.NET.

Do you know how to do this? The only way I know how to use libraries is by referencing them in the IDE and using any functions in the imported namespace.

Here is some shots of the decorate editor I'm working on. It will require all definitions to be ACTORs. Since this program is very object-oriented, I might be able to add a sprite viewer to the state editor window. Since the decorate parser is very object oriented, I could probably reuse it in a compiler.

Thanks. :D

When I wrote zDecorate, the goal was to learn more about classes. While writing this editor, the goal was practicality and usability.

Yes. In fact, that's something that will probably be modifiable through the main setting file.

Its been almost a month since the last release, the next one is close. Here is a couple pics of stuff I'm working on. The decorate editor has a couple lists for states/frames and an MDI window for showing graphics, code pointers, etc.
