Stop sound.play on button click

mysps

So I have sound buttons and works great until I click the next button. The sound continues.. I'm not sure how to stop

Still learning.. If anyone could point me in understanding why?

Page10 = gideros.class(Sprite)   -- duck   function Page10:init( pageNo, parent) self.no = pageNo   self.background = Bitmap.new(TextureRegion.new(Texture.new("gfx/duckback.jpg", true)))   self.rooster = Bitmap.new(TextureRegion.new(Texture.new("gfx/roosterwood.png", true ))) self.rooster:setX(0) self.rooster:setY(450)   self.ball = Bitmap.new(TextureRegion.new(Texture.new("gfx/duck.png", true))) self.ball:setX(250) self.ball:setY(0) self.ball.scaleX = 1 self.ball.inc = -0.001   self.buttonup = Bitmap.new(TextureRegion.new(Texture.new("gfx/1-up.png", true))) self.buttonup:setX(20) self.buttonup:setY(695)   self.buttonup2 = Bitmap.new(TextureRegion.new(Texture.new("gfx/2-up.png", true))) self.buttonup2:setX(110) self.buttonup2:setY(695)     self:addChild(self.background) self:addChild(self.rooster) self:addChild(self.buttonup) self:addChild(self.buttonup2) self:addChild(self.ball)   self.sound = Sound.new("mp3/Japanese/cat.mp3")     self.rooster.isMoving = false   self:addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, self.onAddedToStage, self) self:addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, self.onRemovedFromStage, self)   end   function Page10:onAddedToStage() -- we need mouse functions to interact with the rooster self:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_DOWN, self.onMouseDown, self) self:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_UP, self.onMouseUp, self) self:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_MOVE, self.onMouseMove, self) self:addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, self.onEnterFrame, self)   end   function Page10:onRemovedFromStage()   self:removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, self.onEnterFrame, self) end             function Page10:onMouseDown(event) -- touch event begins here. you need to get the initial x and y, we will use them later if (self.rooster:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) == true) then self.rooster.isMoving = true self.rooster.x0 = event.x self.rooster.y0 = event.y print("rooster")     elseif (self.buttonup2:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) == true) then self.sound:play()   elseif (self.buttonup:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) == true) then self.sound:play() end           end   function Page10:onMouseUp(event) -- touch event ends here. we must get out of the mode. if (self.rooster.isMoving == true) then self.rooster.isMoving = false end   end   function Page10:onMouseMove(event)   if (self.rooster.isMoving == true) then -- calculate the difference local dx = event.x - self.rooster.x0 local dy = event.y - self.rooster.y0 --store the new x,y of touch coordinates self.rooster.x0 = event.x self.rooster.y0 = event.y --set the new coordinates self.rooster:setX(dx + self.rooster:getX()) self.rooster:setY(dy + self.rooster:getY()) end   end         function Page10:onEnterFrame(event) self.ball.scaleX = self.ball.scaleX + self.ball.inc if (self.ball.scaleX < 0.90) and self.ball.inc < 0 then self.ball.inc = -self.ball.inc end if (self.ball.scaleX > 1) and self.ball.inc > 0 then self.ball.inc = -self.ball.inc end self.ball:setScaleX(self.ball.scaleX)     end

If you use a sound channel to play the sound then you can stop the sound channel. So use something like

self.soundChannel=self.sound:play()

to play the sound and then

self.soundChannel:stop()

to stop it.

I'm trying but both sounds overlap. i still dont have an understanding of it

function Page3:onMouseDown(event) -- touch event begins here. you need to get the initial x and y, we will use them later if (self.moon:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) == true) then self.moon.isMoving = true self.moon.x0 = event.x self.moon.y0 = event.y print("moon")   elseif (self.buttonup2:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) == true) then self.soundChannel = self.sound:play()     elseif (self.buttonup:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) == true) then self.soundChannel = self.sound2:play()   end     if (self.buttonup2:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) == true) or (self.buttonup:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) == true)then if playingSound == false then print("play") playingSound = true end end function onSoundComplete(event) print("sound end") playingSound = false self.soundChannel:stop() end if playingSound then soundChannel:addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSoundComplete) end   end

If the sounds overlap then you'll need to store their sound channels in different variables so you can access them. Also, in a few spots you're declaring global variables instead of keeping them in self. I marked a few spots with notes below, but I also don't see where you're trying to stop the sounds in this code.

function Page3:onMouseDown(event) -- touch event begins here. you need to get the initial x and y, we will use them later if (self.moon:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) == true) then self.moon.isMoving = true self.moon.x0 = event.x self.moon.y0 = event.y print("moon")   elseif (self.buttonup2:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) == true) then self.soundChannel = self.sound:play()     elseif (self.buttonup:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) == true) then -- NOTE: Change to self.soundChannel2 = self.soundChannel = self.sound2:play()   end     if (self.buttonup2:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) == true) or (self.buttonup:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) == true)then if playingSound == false then print("play") playingSound = true -- NOTE: change to self.channel or local if you don't need to use again channel = page1Sound:play(0, 1) channel:setVolume(1) end end function onSoundComplete(event) print("sound end") playingSound = false end if playingSound then -- NOTE: you probably want self.soundChannel here soundChannel:addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSoundComplete) end   end

Hmm. i guess thats my point. I have no clue where and how to stop the sound. I've been checking the sample code from the forums but don't have a clear understanding.

zvardin

When do you want the sound to stop? You just need to call stop() on the sound channels like @petec said above. Just like your setVolume(1) call.

self.soundChannel = self.sound2:play()   function Page3:someEventHandler(e) if self.bDisableSound then self.soundChannel:stop() end end

Maybe I'm confusing myself? Maybe I should create a new function.

Inside of the function Page3:onMouseDown(event)

I have tried to add the sound channels.

My idea is too add 7 mp3 sounds and on the mousedown I would like it to play the sound and if another button is clicked that sound will stop and the next will play on mousedown.

does that make since?

Ok, so you can only have one active sound? You can do something like this:

-- this function is so we don't have to do the same check for each sound in our code function Page3:playSound(sound) if self.soundChannel and self.soundChannel:isPlaying() then self.soundChannel:stop() end self.soundChannel = sound:play() end   function Page3:onMouseDown(event) -- touch event begins here. you need to get the initial x and y, we will use them later if (self.moon:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) == true) then self.moon.isMoving = true self.moon.x0 = event.x self.moon.y0 = event.y print("moon")   elseif (self.buttonup2:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) == true) then self:playSound(self.sound) elseif (self.buttonup:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) == true) then self:playSound(self.sound2) end         --[[ You don't need this section to test if the buttons were hit again, if self.soundChannel is true that means we have an active sound channel if (self.buttonup2:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) == true) or (self.buttonup:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) == true)then if playingSound == false then print("play") playingSound = true -- NOTE: change to self.channel or local if you don't need to use again channel = page1Sound:play(0, 1) channel:setVolume(1) end end --]]     end

This way we know if self.soundChannel has a value then there is a soundChannel to check and then we can check the if it's playing using isPlaying(). Hope this helps!

ok. i think i have it a little now.

The sound function must be called first function Page3:playSound(sound)

"sound"

As it is not an event correct?

Then I must create the variable. sound playing and then stopped ..

Still wrapping my head around. thanks for the explanation. on to study more.

thanks so much!
