Hi,

i’m new to corona, so i’m sorry for this question, because i cant figure it out.

I have a Button in the app that plays a looped sound and with another tap on the button the sound should stop.

Here’s the Code

[lua]local button = display.newImage( “birds_button3.png” )
button.x = display.contentWidth / 2
button.y = display.contentHeight /2
function button:tap( event )

media.playSound( “byriver.mp3” )

end

button:addEventListener( “tap”, button )[/lua]

Has anyone an idea ?

Thanks

You could use a boolean flag:-

[code]
local button = display.newImage( “birds_button3.png” )

button.x = display.contentWidth / 2
button.y = display.contentHeight /2

local soundPlaying = false – set flag

function button:tap( event )

if not soundPlaying then

media.playSound( “byriver.mp3” )

else

media.stopSound()

end

soundPlaying = not soundPlaying – flip flag

end

button:addEventListener( “tap”, button )

Hi again,

Thank you for your answer.

I have tried it and it works. I tried it with more than one Button and it’s working too.

Is it possible to play 2 Sounds at the same time or is this a potential memory problem ?
Thanks to all
