Re: The bouncing sound

Scott,

Here's a project file that demonstrates the problem. I'm working in the 
most recent ver. of Squeak from www.squeak.org (just downloaded a few 
days ago) .... 3.9-final-7067

When I activate the script with the object controlled by a joystick, the 
first few times it hits the top of the world and it's silent - all is 
well. But at some point, after 3 or 4 or 5 collisions, it's no longer 
silent.

All help much appreciated and thanks very much in advance for looking at 
the project (made by a student in the class I'm teaching).

Ab,

Mark
