looping sound bug

mmelon

Hi,

Using gameQuery rev. 0.7.0 and SoundManager 2 V2.97a.20121104.

I am instantiating a sound and asking it to loop

player.engineSound = new $.gQ.SoundWrapper("sounds/engine.mp3", true);

then

$('#player').addSound(player.engineSound).playSound();

does cause the sound to play and loop/repeat ONCE before stopping.

I can log out the loop logic in soundwrapper.soundmanager2.js

// plays the sound if this.ready == true
this.play = function(){
if(loop){
this.sound.play({
onfinish: function() {
this.play();
alert('attempting a loop');
}
});
} else {
this.sound.play();

}
};

and as I have said, it will alert the message once, repeat, then never trigger the onfinish method again.

Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong?

Kind regards,
Mike

Perhaps if you loop the entire parent function, you will get a true repeating effect...., you just need to find a different way to create your callback, and allow the function to do the rest of the work...here is what I do with jQuery's animate method to loop something over and over again. See how at the end of the animate method, after the 0, i'm attaching $.msound?...maybe soundmanager has something like this build into their API...

$.msound = function() {
/*SET UP ANY KIND OF CONDITION*/
if (intro.opacity = 1) {
intro.stars.animate({"marginTop":"-170px",opacity:1}, 3000).animate({opacity: 0}, 400).animate({"marginTop":"60px",opacity:0},0, $.msound);
}
}//end condition check
$.msound(); //call the function
}//end msound function
