Looping sound.

Astirian

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.
