mp3 and switching pages

[grommit]

i have two pages - each page automatically plays a music track when loaded, and each page has several other mp3s which load when clicked

when i switch pages the playing track stops and the new pages track begins - BUT when i switch back to a page the track which was playing starts again, not the track that loads when the page is first opened

is there a way to make each page play a chosen track not the last played track

thanks

Sure, on each page load put an MP3 STOP action followed by an MP3 LOAD and MP3 PLAY actions for the appropriate track, that'll work for sure...

thanks again - is that the page initialize function

[Corey]

Whatever works best, try it OnInitialize but that might not work, it might not "see" the MP3 object to play it since the page isn't showing yet. If that doesn't work just put it OnShow, that'll work fine...

on show works great - thanks

next question - someone clicks on an mp3 and it starts to play - if they then move to another page it stops - is there a way to keep an mp3 playing as a person moves between pages and back

this not an on show action but an onclick action as there are several mp3s to choose from on the first page

hope that is clear

Works fine over here. If I set page one to load and play an MP3, it doesn't stop when I click a button to jump to page 2... Should be the same on your machine. Make sure you're running the lastest version, which is 4.0.0.3 currently and it should work fine.

Make sure the page you are jumping to doesn't have an MP3 stop action on it, or any MP3 actions for that matter if you want the currently playing MP3 to contnue playing uninterrupted as you surf to the new page...

Corey,
Does it work the same with wav files? A wav file playing continuously even when moving from one page to another? I seem to have problems with that.
Thanks

I'm not 100% sure on that yosik sorry, maybe someone else here will know. I never use .wav files for deploying anything, I use .wav only as a work format...

I had this setup as well. I have background music that plays when the project starts and I wanted the music to stay playing even when the user navigated from one page to the next. Here is what I did.
