Sound effect stops working when moving from one slide to another

Hi Kai,

The good news is, this scenario should (and does!) definitely work (as its something I have used for lots of gamified learning builds)

So, the first thing Im thinking is - is your layer properties set to "RESET TO INITIAL STATE" and "allowing seeking" = NO? If not, do both of those and test it.

Failing that, are other layers (not on your Master slide) set to close other slide layers when they open? If so, they will shut down your Master layer before it begins to play the audio potentially.

(this is why it can be very tricky to set it up like this - with layers in the Master slides) because we need to remember that we need to set every single layer in our build (whether inside or outside master) to not close other slide layers, and instead handle this all manually (or at least, be very careful and deliberate when we do let them close layers)

Its difficult to diagnose more than this without seeing the file or knowing more about your setup.

Sure, try the above and let's see :)

I have just tried something else, I removed the audio from the original slide layer and put it into it's own but this had the same effect.

lol. Now, Kai - you cant just drop in wonderful Actionscript references and not expect me to go weak at the knees! XD
I LOVED Flash and had many successful years writing games and apps in it. Wonderful wonderful program and IDE. Still miss it today....

Anyways!!!!

I cant think of any other reason your audio wouldnt play if its on a layer that you are correctly triggering to Show/Hide the layer when needed.

Does it "Hide Layer when timeline ends"? This is my only other possibility - if a layer is already showing, then giving it another SHOW command does nothing. The layer doesnt reset and will appear "not to work". Perhaps this in your case?

If not, the next thing is to share your file here if you can. That way we can both dive in and ensure that:

on mouseUp = function() {
     g_kaisSound.attachSound("cheer.mp3");
     g_soundThrow.start(0,1);
}

;)

Nope, that didn't work either. Interestingly, I only showed the audio layer without the visuals and it still stopped working once I moved to the next slide.

Kai, I'll try to put a quick tech demo here. See if we can't crack this nut together.

In order for me to make this as close as possible to what you need, can you explain exactly how and what your audio part is working. What when how etc.
