Song "slideshow" idea

[xelubest]

for kusco .... i was wondering...

can you make a "slideshow" for sounds

i mean... a feauture so you have a slideshow with a song on every slide

when a "slide" is playing the other slides are stoped.... so i don't have to make a script like

element ("song2.mp3).play ()
element ("song1.mp3).stop ()
element ("song3.mp3).stop ()
element ("song4.mp3).stop ()
element ("song5.mp3).stop ()
element ("song6.mp3).stop ()
element ("song7.mp3).stop ()
element ("song8.mp3).stop ()
... so on



i hope you got the idea cuz my english really sucks XD anyway... that kind of thing would be very usefull

This looks like another good opportunity to use an array

In your starting script, set up the array, and specify what elements to use for the slides:

MyPictures = new Array (3)
MyPictures[1] = element("Picture1")
MyPictures[2] = element("Picture2")
MyPictures[3] = element("Picture3")

// Now specify which sound goes with which picture
MySounds = new Array (3)
MySounds[1] = element("MySound1")
MySounds[2] = element("MySound2")
MySounds[3] = element("MySound3")

// Whenever you want to change the displayed slide and music, change a variable 'PicNumber' to be the number of the slide to show.
// This first part clears the screen and stops all sounds.
for (a=0; a<=MyPictures.length; a++)
{
MyPictures[a].hide()
MySounds[a].stop()
}

// This part shows a picture and plays the right sound for that picture:
MyPictures[PicNumber].show()
MySounds[PicNumber].play()

There are probably better ways, but I think this is a nice easy starter

That's a good idea.
