Question on Audio -- Play, Pause, Continue, Stop

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi Everyone…

Is there any way to make an audio play from a certain point?

I have a sound.mp3 file – last 1 minute

audio.play(sound) – will play the file from beginning

audio.stop(sound) – will cancel and stop the music.

what if I play the audio and in :15 seconds on the song

— How do I put PAUSE

and then How do I start the audio again, starting from :15 seconds and on

or the famous rewind or fastforward

a little bit more at a time, or a little bit less, to find part of that song

Thanks

I’m not aware of anything like this at the moment.  :frowning:

Looks like you are after audio.seek -> http://bit.ly/1tLLl8w

Wow, so essentially, you can skip to any part in your audio file? That’s awesome!! I never knew I could do that! Or is that a recent update?

Been like that since the audio api was released, iirc :slight_smile:

I am trying seek

it works on loadStream only.

I hit the button, and it takes time, then find the spot on the audio and then plays from there…

And what are the options for rewind

I see this in Corona

audio.rewind( [audioHandle | options] )

but how do I actually write the code, and what options I have

I try this and got ERRORS

audio.rewind( songBaby, {5000} )

I thought 5000 will be the time to rewind, but it did not work

I found the audio.pause( ) it works fine

If you pause a channel then resume it later, it will resume from the same place.

That is based on you not using that channel for anything else between pause and resuming however

Thanks, I just have one sound in that scene, so it works fine
