External Sound Play Button

[Geos59]

This is code loads the music internally:

var url:String = "C:/Users/George/Desktop/erevemusic.mp3";
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var sound:Sound = new Sound();
sound.load(urlRequest);
sound.play();

And this makes it so when you click the button it stops the music:

ToggleButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, beQuiet);
function beQuiet(e:MouseEvent):void
{
SoundMixer.stopAll();
}

What code do I need to click on ToggleButton button for the music to play again?

I am not going to test this example, let me know if it works and if there are any errors;

var url:String = "C:/Users/George/Desktop/erevemusic.mp3";
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var sound:Sound = new Sound();
sound.load(urlRequest);
sound.play();
var isPlaying:Boolean = true;

//And this makes it so when you click the button it stops the music:

ToggleButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, toggleSound);

function toggleSound(e:MouseEvent):void
{
if(isPlaying) //If the sound is playing
    SoundMixer.stopAll();//stop all sounds
else//otherwise
    sound.play();//play the sound
isPlaying=!isPlaying;//whatever it was last set to, you are now the opposite.
}

ps. there might be a isPlaying variable on the sound object, I cant remember right off the top of my head. You can use that in place of keeping track of the state yourself (if it exists that is).


Let me know if this works out for you, or if it doesn't compile. Good Luck

Thank you sooooooo much guardiankitty! It works perfectly! I've been trying to figure this about for a good amount of days.

Actually now that it works I do have 1 more question:

Is there any way to make the music loop? (if it's not already)

[letschillout]

public function playMusic():void
{
    musicChannel = music.play();
    musicChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, loopMusic);
}

public function loopMusic(e:Event):void
{
    if (musicChannel != null)
    {
        musicChannel.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, loopBackgroundMusic);
    playMusic();
    }
}

var chimesSound:SoundChannel;
