Sound loops in iOS

[John Dixon]

I too couldn't get 'looping' to work with the 'play' command... however using 'iphonePlaySoundOnChannel thefile, theChannel, type' does work...

on mouseUp
   put specialfolderpath("engine") & "/sc.mp3" into thefile
   iphonePlaySoundOnChannel thefile, 1, looping
end mouseUp



> Thanks to Ken Corey and others on this list, I am managing to play sounds in my developing iOS app quite nicely - as appears to be required, I'm playing them from a file, and I'm using 'the environment' to distinguish between the IDE and the real app (and simulator). So far so good. My current problem is that my sounds won't loop. I have code like this, where t3 contains a path to a sound file.
