What syntax to make an XML guage to play a sound?

[WildBlue]

Hi.

I want my "Spoiler On" gauge to not only light the lamp on the dash, but also to trigger a sound, such as the gear warning sound with flaps down on an approach.

What syntax do I use within the text of the XML gauge and where do I place the instruction? Here's the text of the gauge so far:

<Gauge Name="SpoilerToggle" Version="1.0">
<Element>
<Select>
<Value>(A:SPOILERS HANDLE POSITION,bool)</Value>
<Case Value="0">
<Image Name="spoil_off.bmp" ImageSizes="54,32"/>
</Case>
<Case Value="1">
<Image Name="spoil_on.bmp" Bright="Yes" ImageSizes="54,32"/>
</Case>
</Select>
</Element>
</Gauge>


Thanks,

None, as XML scripts cannot play sounds at all. They also cannot read or write files to disk.

There is a C gauge that Doug Dawson posted in the AVSIM file library called "dsd_sound..." that will allow you to send it a command to play a particular sound, but it does require a bit of set up to get working properly.
