Can't seem to stop actor's animation?

Poli

I am new at Gamesalad and I can't seem to understand how boolean attributes work (hopefully due to having a mother tongue different from English and not from a poorly-developed brain?)

Here's the thing:

I have actor 1.
Rule 1:
When touch is released: actor 1 plays animation sequence 1 and plays sound 1 on loop.
Rule 2:
When touch is released: actor 1 plays animation sequence 2 and plays sound 2 (without loop).

My problem is that when "touch is released" the second time (on the 2nd rule), animation 1 and sound 1 keep playing. How do I stop them?

I also want sound 2 to play again every time I tap (touch is released). However animation sequences 1 and 2, and sound 1 should not respond to that tap.

Also, I have actors 2 and 3. I want actors 2 and 3 to respond to an event (touch, for example) ONLY after actor 1 has finished animation sequence 2 and the first play of sound 2 (there could or could not be subsequent taps to keep sound 2 working, but I want the other actors to respond to events after the first time sound 2 is played)

Hope I am making any sense!

Help will be much much much appreciated! Thank you guys!

For the first part of your questions you need to count the number of touches. Like this:

Make a new integer attribute called touches (or whatever) and start it at 0.

Then for your rules on actor 1:

Rule:
When touch is released and touches = 0, play sound and animation 1 AND change attribute touches to touches+1.

Do another rule:
When touch is released and touches = 1, play sound and animation 2 AND change attribute touches to touches+1.

So now it's keeping count of how many times that actor has been touched and you can act accordingly.

Hope that helps some.

Thank you!! I will try it once I reinstall the program AGAIN, as "Preview" doesn't really work. I've been having issues for the last couple of days in which in the Preview mode the actor does not react to events at all. GrrRrRrrRrrR!
