    How do I detect music off in individual pages when using scenecontroller?

    I have 5 pages, they are controlled by scenecontroller.

    Scenecontroller simply has 3 buttons: go back a page, go forward a page, and a toggle-button for music on/off which works fine for background music on all pages.

    self.music:addEventListener("click", self.musicToggle, self)

    function sceneController:musicToggle()
    if isMusicOn then
    isMusicOn = false
    bgmusic:stop()
    else
    isMusicOn = true
    bgmusic = bgtune:play(0, true)
    end
    end


    When I'm in a page, I also have other events that will play other sound-effects. I want to have these sounds off or on depending on my musicToggle. I can't use "if isMusicOn" since that is declared in Scenecontroller.

    What can I do? I hope I'm making sense.

    Thanks

      I've created a Sounds.lua class just for that purpose:
      https://github.com/ar2rsawseen/GameTemplate/blob/master/classes/Sounds.lua

      Usage is like this:
      --in the main lua
 
sounds = Sounds.new()
--adding key and filename
sounds:add("sound1", "sound1.wav")
sounds:add("sound2", "sound2.wav")
sounds:add("sound3", "sound3.wav")
--etc
 
--depending on your current setting turn it on
--sounds:on()
      in your scenes
      --when you need to disable sounds, call
sounds:off()
 
--and when need to enable again, call
sounds:on()
 
--then when you need to play a sounds, simple call
sounds:play("sound1")
--if sounds are on they will play
--if not, nothing will be played
      Bonus
      --you can add different sounds to same key
sounds:add("lost", "lost1.wav")
sounds:add("lost", "lost2.wav")
sounds:add("lost", "lost3.wav")
 
--and then when you call play
sounds:play("lost")
--it will play one random sound from all provided

      @ar2rsawseen,
      you can add a playNext function that will play the next random/queued sound.

      main.lua calls scenecontroller.lua where I have the music toggle right now.

      So I don't put any sound control in scenecontroller? and move the music toggle to main?

      @flyhere you can make it a global variable at toggle at any scene you want :)
