    Looping sound.

    Hi chaps,

    How would I go about looping sound? I'm trying to handle a looping sound onEnterFrame when the move button is being held but I keep just getting the sound playing hundreds of times at the same time. Nearly blew out a speaker hah!

    Anyway, I tried using bools to determine whether the sound is currently playing or not but I'm not having much luck. I'm thinking this use case must definitely have come up before...

      I'm not sure what you're trying to do and why do you use enterframe.
      If you just want to simply play/stop on button touched/released you can do this:
      local ourSound=Sound.new("jump.mp3")
local ourButton = Pixel.new(0x8e44ad,1,200,50)
stage:addChild(ourButton)
 
stage:addEventListener(Event.TOUCHES_BEGIN, function(event)
	if ourButton:hitTestPoint(event.touch.x,event.touch.y) then
	ourSoundChannel=ourSound:play(0,true)
	end
end)
 
stage:addEventListener(Event.TOUCHES_END, function(event)
	if ourSoundChannel~=nil and ourSoundChannel:isPlaying() then ourSoundChannel:stop() end
end)

      If your sound is playing over and over every frame, most likely you forgot to switch playback trigger when playback starts (or to check it before starting playback)
      local ourSound=Sound.new("jump.mp3")
local ourButton = Pixel.new(0xf1c40f,1,140,40)
stage:addChild(ourButton)
ourTrigger=false
 
stage:addEventListener(Event.TOUCHES_BEGIN, function(event)
	if ourButton:hitTestPoint(event.touch.x,event.touch.y) then
		if ourTrigger==false then
		ourSoundChannel=ourSound:play(0,true)
		ourTrigger=true
		end
	end
end)
 
stage:addEventListener(Event.TOUCHES_END, function(event)
	if ourTrigger==true then ourSoundChannel:stop() ourTrigger=false end
end)

      Thanks Yuri! ;)

      Yeah, logic problem on my part I think.
