Playing Multiple Audio Tracks Simultaneously

[vcirilli]

Is it possible to have multiple audio files playing at the same time.
Ex. Background music playing while a dialog track plays at the same time.
I've tried Play audioClip and Play File.
Both replace the previously playing file.
Working on Mac at the moment but eventually would like to build for Android/IOS

Thank Vincent

I think you have already answered your question yourself.

[vcirilli]

Yes I found the documentation that states that.

Evidently a LC limitation, bummer.
Might there be a plugin to help with playing multiple audio tracks?

Uh... what documentation did you read?

You can't play embeded audioclips simultaneously, that I believe.
You can't simultaneously play two files in one Player object, but you can easily have multiple Player objects with different filenames playing at the same time. You just have to reference each one individually.

I was using Play audioClip.
Player Object !! Thanks

Player doesn't work on Android.

Yes it does, but you have to create the object dynamically.
See mobileControlCreate in the dictionary. You have to create and manage these controls by script on opening a card and delete them again when you change card, or else they will stay open over the new card, which might interfere with the layout.

Ok I see thanks.
