    Short question: Does this all has to be done by one script or do I need more than one script to do it?

    what do you mean?

    You could create functions to handle it or you can create execution scripts.

    Not sure if I am thinking right but lets see. At the beginning of the first scene I call an execution script that starts to play the sound. At the end of the scene I have to call another script that gets the offset of the sound. Than the scene changes and it calls a third script that start the sound with the offset from the scene before. Is that about right or I am completely off?

    yeah sounds about right but maybe you should see if the togglepause function works ok first? Seeing as the sound is not linked to a scene or anything it should just continue to play between scenes, until you stop it no?

    Exactly. I am trying to get the pause thing to work. Until now I get it to pause but it doesn't start again... at least not where I paused it. Maybe I am just doing it wrong... not saving the sound property in a variable correctly. On you wiki site at the end there is a print sting... that is how you save the properties and later on you just recall them? I am sorry for my stupid question... I just have no idea how things work... I am trying to get my head around it.

    print is just for printing messages into the log. more for debugging.

    which wiki article are you looking at?
    I was talking about this one: http://wiki.visionaire-tracker.net/wiki/ToggleSoundPause

    Yeah that one.

    I am still trying to get the thing working in the same scene... without jumping to another one. Just to understand how things work.

    Its a cut-scene.

    I have one script at the beginning of the scene.

    
local song = startSound("vispath:data/audio/tellisis/sounds/song.ogg")


    Then I have another one in the middle of the cutscene that pauses the song.

    
local song = getSoundId("vispath:data/audio/tellisis/sounds/song.ogg")
toggleSoundPause(song)


    And close to the end I put the second script again because I thought it would toggle between pause and playing the sound. But nothing happens. roll

    you don't need to do the local variable for the start sound.

    if you wanted you could do..
    local sound1 = "vispath:data/audio/tellisis/sounds/song.ogg"
startSound(sound1)

    or...
    startSound("vispath:data/audio/tellisis/sounds/song.ogg")

    for the id you are better naming it something like this...
    local sound1_id = getSoundId("vispath:data/audio/tellisis/sounds/song.ogg")
-- or if you have stored the path in a variable
local sound1_id = getSoundId(sound1)

    etc...

    ok I tried it and well:

    1. option:

    script 1
    local sound1 = "vispath:data/audio/tellisis/sounds/song.ogg"
startSound(sound1)


    script 2
    local sound1_id = getSoundId(sound1)
toggleSoundPause(sound1_id)


    The sound starts but does not stop.

    2. option

    script 1
    startSound("vispath:data/audio/tellisis/sounds/song.ogg")


    script 2
    local sound1_id = getSoundId("vispath:data/audio/tellisis/sounds/song.ogg")
toggleSoundPause(sound1_id)


    The sound starts and stops.

    If I understand all of this correctly.

    In option 1 the first script. defines sound1 as a variable and startSound(sound1) calls this variable and well starts the sound. Now the pause script defines a new variable sound1_id which is sound1 but somehow it does not find it or something because it does not pause the sound.

    Can it be that local sound1 = "vispath:data/audio/tellisis/sounds/song.ogg" is just a local variable and thats why I cannot call it from another script?
