Multiple Sounds

[Takeme360]

Hey Guys,
Wondering if anyone has run into a similar problem. I have background music playing and narration linked to different scenes. But I can't figure out a way to properly play both independently. I'm currently using mp3hotspot.swf for my narration and dewplayer.swf for my music. But when the background music changes to a new music file - or the use changes the music via the playlist - the narration also stops.

So what is happening is when the background music (1min apiece - there are about 5 songs the dewplayer cycles through) stops or changes, the narration stops completely, sometimes in mid sentance, until the user loads a new scene.

Here's the code:

<spot id="music_pano01" url="files/plugins/dewplayer-multi.swf?mp3=files/media/sound/1.mp3|files/media/sound/2.mp3|files/media/sound/3.mp3|files/media/sound/4.mp3|files/media/sound/5.mp3&amp;autostart=1&amp;autoreplay=1&amp;randomplay=1&amp;autore play=1&amp;volume=50" static="1" align="RT" alpha="1" salign="RT" depth="2" scaleX="0.8" scaleY="0.8" staticX="-25" />

<spot id="narration1" url="files/plugins/mp3hotspot.swf" file="files/media/sound/narration/1.mp3" repeat="0000"
linked="files/visualfiles/1" />

<spot id="narration2" url="files/plugins/mp3hotspot.swf" file="files/media/sound/narration/2.mp3" repeat="0000"
linked="files/visualfiles/2" />

<spot id="narration3" url="files/plugins/mp3hotspot.swf" file="files/media/sound/narration/3.mp3" repeat="0000"
linked="files/visualfiles/3" />

<spot id="narration2" url="files/plugins/mp3hotspot.swf" file="files/media/sound/narration/4.mp3" repeat="0000"
linked="files/visualfiles/4" />

Maybe it works better with another player. I have used longtail player in some projects and it works wery well, for example:
http://www.flash-tours.com/tours/nn/nn.html (just a test).
The sounds are not linked to different images but I have tried that also and it works fine, sorry I dont have an example at the moment. The player can, if you put it in the panorama as hotspot, also be invisible of course.

Man! what is that place!! i love it!

try with mp3hotspotX.swf... download it from Google Group.

Does longtail support playlists? The problem I'm having now is that when the next song in the playlist plays (dewplayer) the narration cuts off (mp3player). I'll test the longtail in both instances to see if that corrects the problem at all.

Here's one more audio plugin you can add to the try-out mix.

Never got around to trying it out, but it looks like you should be able to run all your sounds off this one plugin.
If so, then you shouldn't run into the conflicts you're getting using 2 different players.

Ended up using the ffc_mp3hotspot player for the playlist and the regular mp3hotspot plugin for the narration. No interference when changing tracks.
