LiveCode Forums.

Ok, I did get a sound to play once in my ios simulator. But after 3 hours of endless variations, I has yet to recreate this feat.

I tried playing the sound "an.aif" from a folder (blendysounds) in the same folder(livecode) as the stack.

on mouseUp
play specialFolderPath("engine") & "/livecode/blendysounds/an.aif"
end mouseUp

I tried

on mouseUp
play specialFolderPath("engine") & "/blendysounds/an.aif"
end mouseUp

I copied blendysounds/an.aif into the copy files section on the App settings tab. Nothing works. (What, what what could I be missing?) Max

What version of the simulator are you using? Sounds wouldn't work for me in one of the older ones.

OK I found my mistake.

It appears that I needed to have an exact matching case for the text.

Hurrah!

I should have thought of that, it's bitten me too. iOS, like unix, is case-sensitive. There's a mention of it in the release notes somewhere. Very glad you're back in business.

Hi All,

Is there a way to play a sound file from a server in IOS ?

play MyUrl work on desktop but not in IOS

Best regards

Hi,

I have created a standalone build for minimum version ios 4.2.

When I install the app on any machine that runs ios 5.0 , all the sound files play fine,

When I install the same app on any ipod that runs ios 4.2, none of the sound files play.


Why would the sounds not play on these slightly older machines. THE OTHER APPS produce sounds.

Hi.

Does anyone ever had problems playing sound files in an app on a second generation ipod? I loaded the same program on an ipad and ipod touch 4 and sounds play fine. I use a 4.2 OS build.

This seems to be my last hurtle in order to finish my first ios app. My school has only second generation ipods. So I must have sound files that will play in those machines. So here is my last call out to anyone they may have had success with livecode sounds files playing on second generation ipods.

Thank you to all for all previous help.

We've gotten the best results using caf sound files - Apple Core Audio Format, developing apps in XCode with Objective-C, and delivering on IOS 4.2.

OK So I finally figured out why my sound files were not playing in ios. All my sound files were in a folder on the desktop. Once I moved them out into a HD folder, they played.

Only 4 months for me to figure that one out.
