Play Music

[niceness]

Hi,

i'm working with 4.0 and i need to play different music for different sections of my program.

More specifically,
There are many sections; each containing Random Page Jumps within that section
A1 - A10
B1 - B10
C1 - C10

i would like to have one song play continuously as long as you are Page Jumping A1 - A10
but when you go to B1 - B10, i want a different song to play continuously while Page Jumping in that section. and the same for section C1 - C10.

Please, help
Thanx

Try this. I found some old code that I modified to hopefully work in your project.

Put the code in as follows

--place in the [On Initialize] event for pages A
IF ( !%avisit%)
MP3.Load ("%SrcDir%\MyMP3\SongA.mp3")
MP3.Play
MP3.SetRepeat (TRUE)
%avisit% = Evaluate (TRUE)
%bvisit% = Evaluate (FALSE)
%cvisit% = Evaluate (FALSE)
END IF
--place in the [On Initialize] event for pages b
IF ( !%bvisit%)
MP3.Load ("%SrcDir%\MyMP3\SongB.mp3")
MP3.Play
MP3.SetRepeat (TRUE)
%avisit% = Evaluate (FALSE)
%bvisit% = Evaluate (TRUE)
%cvisit% = Evaluate (FALSE)
END IF
--place in the [On Initialize] event for pages C
IF ( !%cvisit%)
MP3.Load ("%SrcDir%\MyMP3\SongC.mp3")
MP3.Play
MP3.SetRepeat (TRUE)
%avisit% = Evaluate (FALSE)
%bvisit% = Evaluate (FALSE)
%cvisit% = Evaluate (TRUE)
END IF

What should happen is this, When you first load an A page it will evaluate the %avisit% to false by default and load and play the song. It then sets the other %bvisit% and %cvisit% values to false as well, but the %avisit% it sets to true so it doesn't reload the song. Then when you go to a B or C page it then loads the appropriate song and sets the other variables to false.

I can't guarantee that it will work as I haven't done much with AMS 4 code in a looooong time.

You could probably go one step further and make it so that when the song stops, you record the %aposition% of where the song stopped. Then when your reload the song, you could use the MP3.SEEK and seek to that spot.

Hey, Tigg

I tried the code you shared! It worked perfectly.
You suggested the ability to record the position of the song and do a MP3 seek.

What is the code that would make this possible and should it be placed right after the
End If line?

Thanx for your help; you're a genius!
