    Help with Ebook Template

    edited July 2012 in General questions
    Hi All
    I am modifying Ebook Template --- I want to add music for each page.
    So I add
    music = Sound.new("sound/page1music.mp3")	
local channel  = music:play(0, 1000)
channel:setVolume(1) 
 
on fisrt page. And
 
music = Sound.new("sound/page2music.mp3")	
local channel  = music:play(0, 1000)
channel:setVolume(1) 
 
for second page.
Problem When I change page from 1 to 2 the first page sound doesn't stop.
And the second one. How can I globally turn off all sounds, for the sound on/off functionality.
Thanks

      You can modify sceneController either to stop playing music on rightClick, leftClick.

      Or register to scenemanager's "exitBegin" event to stop playing active music

      I tried to add voice over to the page, but if you touch the text twice, then the voice is overlapping. How to prevent the voice played twice. Using timer maybe?

      I've stopped overlap before by getting the sound length before playing the sound in a named channel and then using an enter frame listener to check the playing position using something like:
      self.voiceSnd=Sound.new("soundfile.wav")
self.soundLength=self.voiceSnd:getLength()
self.voiceChannel=self.voiceSnd:play()
self:addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,self.voiceSpeaking,self)
      and then using the enter frame function to check the playing position and set a boolean 'isPlaying' flag:
      function Scene:voiceSpeaking(e)
	self.isPlaying=true
	self.channelPsn=self.voiceChannel:getPosition()
	if self.channelPsn==self.soundLength then
		self.isPlaying=false
		self:removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,self.voiceSpeaking,self)
	end
end
      I then check the boolean isPlaying when the voice button (or whatever) is tapped and only play the voice if isPlaying is false (i.e. if the sound file isn't already playing). I set self.isPlaying=false in the scene's init function so that the first time I call the voice it plays.

      There is most likely a much simpler way to do all that, but it worked for me :)

      Hi
      I have sound on off button each time that user that that I change "sound" boolean variable from true to false and vice versa.
      I need to stop and restart music even user tap that button
      How can I do this ?
      I am playing and stopping musicS when page added to stage (onAddedToStage) and removed from stage (onRemovedFromStage)
      Page3 = gideros.class(Sprite)
 
function Page3:init()
self.no = pageNo
self.music = Sound.new("sound/birds013.wav")
self.background = Bitmap.new(TextureRegion.new(Texture.new("pages/page3.png", true)))
self:addChild(self.background)	
self:addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, self.onAddedToStage, self)	
self:addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, self.onRemovedFromStage, self)
end
function Page3:onAddedToStage()
self.channel = self.music:play(0, 1000)
self.channel:setVolume(2)
end
 
function Page3:onRemovedFromStage()
self.channel:stop()
end
