Background music commands

[CDrDup]

Hi, ALL:

My project is a multimedia biz card. There are 5 screens. The opening screen plays an audio introduction by the client. When you click on screen 2 it starts background music that continues to play when you click on screens 3-5. When you click on screen 1 it stops the background music and plays the audio intro. That's all good. What I'm trying to figure out is the following:

<> While background music is playing, if you go back to screen 2 the music restarts. How can I state in AMS that if bground music is already playing, disregard AudioLoad command?

Thanks!

Hello,

Rather than stopping the audio you need to pause it as explained here and by Corey in this post.

Just to expand on that a little, on screen 1 pause the audio and then on all the other screens play it. If it's already playing then the command won't do anything but if you go from page 1 to say page 5 the music will continue to play from where it was paused.

Like they say - BRILLIANT! And so logical...

Thanks, longedge, for the help.

For those who have been playing at home, I did some tweaking:

SCREEN 1 (with audio intro)

On Show code:

Audio.Stop(CHANNEL_BACKGROUND);
Audio.Stop(CHANNEL_NARRATION);
Audio.Load(CHANNEL_NARRATION, "AutoPlay\\Audio\\audiotrack.ogg", true, false);

On Close code:

Audio.Stop(CHANNEL_NARRATION);
Audio.Load(CHANNEL_BACKGROUND, "AutoPlay\\Audio\\bgroundtrack.ogg", false, false);
Audio.Play(CHANNEL_BACKGROUND);
Audio.SetLooping(CHANNEL_BACKGROUND, true);

What this does is stop the audio intro (channel_narration) when you click out of screen 1 and starts the background music when you go into any other screen.

Hope this helps!
