audio Event.COMPLETE

hello gideros people,

Is it the best way to play sounds one after the other?
	local arabaudio1 = csv:getField(self.i, "audio1")
	local arabaudio2 = csv:getField(self.i, "audio2")
	local arabaudio3 = csv:getField(self.i, "audio3")
	if arabaudio1 ~= "null" then
		local sound1 = Sound.new("audio/"..arabaudio1..".ogg")
		local audio1 = sound1:play()
		if arabaudio2 ~= "null" then
			audio1:addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function()
				local sound2 = Sound.new("audio/"..arabaudio2..".ogg")
				local audio2 = sound2:play()
				if arabaudio3 ~= "null" then
					audio2:addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function()
						local sound3 = Sound.new("audio/"..arabaudio3..".ogg")
						local audio3 = sound3:play()
					end)
				end
			end)
		end
	end
+ do I need to add audio:removeEventListener?

Thank you for your advice.

    Definitely 'for i=1,3' loop can be used here.
    And I guess we can write it more elegantly using Lua coroutines (they're perfect for such purposes).
    But if there're not many audios, I'd leave the code as it is.

    P. S. We can't 'removeEventListener' with anonymous function:
    audio2:addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function()
    	local sound3 = Sound.new("audio/"..arabaudio3..".ogg")
    	local audio3 = sound3:play()
    end)
    audio2:removeEventListener(...) --we can't do it
    But in the recent releases super useful call 'removeAllListeners' was added, so now we can do it this way:
    audio2:removeAllListeners()

    thank you apollo14, for the moment I have to read at most 3 words. Then may be later more than 3 words maybe 10!

    I would be interested in a for loop implementation.

    Could you please show me some sample code?

    Or I can try myself really and come back!

    Thank you for your advice apollo14.

    I think something like that will work (I'm also new to coroutines, never used them in actual projects):
    local numberOfSounds=100
     
    local ourAudioCoroutine = coroutine.create(function ()	
    	for i=1,numberOfAudios do
    		local arabaudio = csv:getField(self.j, "audio"..i)
    		local sound = Sound.new("audio/"..arabaudio..".ogg")
    		local audio = sound:play()
     
    		audio:addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function()
    			audio:removeAllListeners(); audio,sound,arabaudio=nil,nil,nil
    			coroutine.resume(ourAudioCoroutine)
    		end)
     
    		coroutine.yield()
    	end
    end)
     
    --now let's start our coroutine:
    coroutine.resume(ourAudioCoroutine)

    great @Apollo14 it is not that simple, I will have to try your method. Thank you very much for your help. Much appreciated.

    Peace.
