ess. too short playback
Mar 9th, 2006, 3:41pm  
hello..
I want that my sample (kuku.wav) could play only while the cursor is over the middle of the stage.
But when the cursor is over the middle, it plays only few miliseconds instead of the full six seconds. Why it can't play the full sample?

import krister.Ess.*;

Channel myChannel;

void setup() {
 size(300,300);  
 Ess.start(this);
 myChannel=new Channel("kuku.wav");

}

void draw() {

if (mouseX > width/2) {
myChannel.play(Ess.FOREVER);
}else{
 myChannel.stop();
} }

public void stop() {
 Ess.stop();
 super.stop();
}

What's happening is you're calling myChannel.play(Ess.FOREVER) every single fame that the mouse is over the specified area.

You can stop this from happening by adding a boolean value and only starting to play if it's not being played already.

Code:
 import krister.Ess.*;  
 
Channel myChannel;  
boolean isPlaying;

void setup() {  
  size(300,300);  
  Ess.start(this);  
  myChannel=new Channel("kuku.wav");  
  isPlaying=false;
}  
 
void draw() {  
  if (mouseX > width/2) {
    if(!isPlaying) {
	 myChannel.play(Ess.FOREVER);  
	 isPlaying=true;
    }
  }else{
    myChannel.stop();  
    isPlaying=false;
  } 
}
 
public void stop() {  
  Ess.stop();  
  super.stop();  
}
