Audio only plays when browser is refreshed

calvintage · March 25, 2006, 7:41pm

I have published a site and audio doesn’t play the first time the site loads. Audio starts only when the browser is refreshed.

NOTE: THE SITE IS FOR A BAND THAT USES EXPLICIT LANGUAGES.

If you guys have any suggestions or ideas as to why the audio doesn’t play the first time it loads… please give me some inputs. I’m out of ideas. Thanks a bunch!

hi vintage

i’m calvin-vintage.

anyhow, here’s the code in audio player scene:


var mySound = [];
var loadedSound = false;
var stop:Boolean = false;
var mySoundPlaying:Boolean = false;

initialize = function() {
	if(!loadedSound) {
		for(index = 0; index < _root.audioNode.length; index++) {
			mySound[index] = new Sound();
			mySound[index].loadSound(_root.audioNode[index].attributes.file, false);
		}
		loadedSound = true;
	}
	this.stop = false;
	loadSound();
}
loadSound = function() {
	this.onEnterFrame = function() {
		if(!this.stop){
			downloaded = mySound[_root.track].getBytesLoaded();
			total = mySound[_root.track].getBytesTotal();
			if (downloaded < total) {
				this.title.text = "downloading song...";
			} 
			else {
				if(complete != 1) {
					this.equalizer.gotoAndPlay("start");
				}
				complete = 1;
				this.title.text = (_root.track+1)+". "+_root.audioNode[_root.track].attributes.title;
				this.equalizer._visible = true;
				if(!mySoundPlaying) {
					mySoundPlaying = true;
					mySound[_root.track].start(0, 0);
				}
			}
		}
		mySound[_root.track].setVolume(_root.volume);
		
		mySound[_root.track].onSoundComplete = function() {
			if(_root.track < _root.audioNode.length - 1) {
				++_root.track;
			}
			else {
				_root.track = 0;
			}
			mySoundPlaying = false;
			initialize();
		}
	};
}

initialize();

Thanks!

hi vintage =)

i’m calvin vintage

anyhow… i found one error… one of the functions was named loadSound(). i changed it to loadAudio(), but, the same problem persists.
