[Xerte] 2.x Double hit with onSoundComplete

Tue Aug 24 14:13:28 BST 2010

Just tried this:  you can set sounds up the native flash way

mySound = new Sound();

mySound.loadSound(FileLocation + 'sound.mp3');

and then control it using the sound class's native methods like
mySound.start();

Iconid.reset() is less bytes.

Iconid.sound.stop()

Believe it or not a sound icon is really a decision icon, to handle the
synched pages stuff.

That may be it.
I tried iconid.stop() and it didn't do booger.
So I hunted around and found reset()

It calls the sound's stop() method. Not sure if that trips the event or
not,

I'm pretty sure the sounds were colliding after page turn.
Or at least if I blocked the page turn, I do not get a double hit.
Is it using reset() on the sound?

Maybe because the sound is being killed when the page turns? There is
code in the engine that does that on each page turn: it dives the
content and stops sounds / videos and some other stuff.

It is being called, then a templated page turn happens.

I think I may know what is happening, but I solved the original issue
another way.
If you advanced the pages quickly enough, sounds were not happening when
they should.
I figured it must be a collision (trying to play a sound that was still
loaded/in progress.
Since I didn't have AWunloadSoundDriver handy, ;-) I used a reset() at
the top of the play logic and that seems to have cured it.

But for the archives, I think it may not have been a double hit on the
same event trap.
The template created identical event traps at the bottom of each page.
So I think on page turn, the page 1 trap fired, then on sound completion
in page 2, it fired that one.
Though that still shouldn't happen, e.g. why would the page 1 trap fire
if the sound wasn't complete?

How is the sound being stopped to trigger the two events? Just playing
to the end and then stopping? Or are you stopping it some other way?

Anyone have any ideas why an onSoundComplete event would be triggering
twice?

Just a little beep when the user hits a button.
I get 1 beep, but my event catcher is triggering twice.
