audio on load

[ealmuno ealmuno]

Hello, i can i start audio when the game is open, if i simply try with

var startaudio = new lime.audio.Audio("path.pm3");
startaudio.play();

not works, if i add to a events it works.

On some browsers(chomre,firefox I think) you can call
startaudio.isLoaded() to check if the audio is available. Play should
work then.

The reason we haven't implemented it is because there is currently no
way to have it working in iOS/Android and we like to keep the API
consistent.

For iOs there's a working implementation for sounds http://remysharp.com/2010/12/23/audio-sprites/ . 

But it's better to wait for normal implementation of sound. 

Try to call startaudio.load() befor playing. Some browsers do not start loading by themselves.

Thanks, i try but not works (i develop on chrome), this is not a big
problem i can implement in "classic" mode.

FWIW (perhaps I misunderstand this thread), I created

* sound.mp3
* sound.ogg

and then added to helloworld.js:

var sound = new lime.audio.Audio('sound.mp3');
goog.events.listen(target,['mousedown','touchstart'],function(e){

if (sound.isLoaded() && !sound.isPlaying()) {
sound.play();
}

e.swallow(['mouseup','touchend'],function(){
if (sound.isPlaying()) {
sound.stop();
}
});
}

And sound worked in both FF (PC) and on my iPhone 3GS. Terribly slow
UI when sound.play is called on iPhone, but correct. iOS 4.2.1
