Audio File - Finished?

[Tester2]

Hey LiveCoders,

I have a card that when the user navigates to it, it plays an audio mp3 (stored within the file). I am using the "mobilePlaySoundOnChannel" command and have buttons that can Pause, Continue or Restart the audio.

I am trying to trap for when the audio file has finished playing so that I can automatically navigate the user to a different card.

I found I could do the following:

put mobileSoundChannelStatus (noise1) into tChannelStatus
if tChannelStatus = "stopped" then
go to card "Main Menu"
end if

But where should I put this piece of code? On OpenCard won't work...it would almost have to check this every few seconds to see if the audio had finished or not

Please advise and help!

Thanks so much.

I found this in the "iOS Release Notes" (cough, cough ):
...
When a sound has finished playing naturally (not stopped/replaced) on a given channel,
a soundFinishedOnChannel message is sent to the object which played the sound:
soundFinishedOnChannel channel, sound
...
This sounds like you could put this into the card script:

Code: Select all

on soundFinishedOnChannel tChannel,tSound
   if tChannel = YourChannelHere AND tSound = "Name of sound here" then
      ## Please ALWAYS use QUOTES around strings like NAMES of objects!
      go cd "some other card"
  end if
end soundFinishedOnChannel

Best
