In my Corona SDK project, I have a composer scene called "menu.lua" (created with composer.newScene()) that is the first scene, called by main.lua file. I have a background track only for this scene, loaded in scene:create() with audio.loadSound() in a local variable. When I load another scene (let's suppose it's a "credit" scene, static, with no music, sounds, animations, timers, etc.) and then come back to menu scene, audio is still played, but with a lower volume.
Audio is played in loop on channel 2, I use audio.play() in scene:show "did" phase. I use audio.fadeOut() in scene:hide "will" phase, and stop it with audio.stop() in "did" phase, then dispose it with audio.dispose() in scene:destroy.
In "menu.lua" file
local composer=require("composer")
local scene=composer.newScene()
local theme --this is the variable for audio
function scene:create(event)
local sceneGroup=self.view
theme=audio.loadSound("sfx/theme_short.mp3")
end
function scene:show(event)
local sceneGroup=self.view
if event.phase=="will"
audio.play(theme,{loops=-1,channel=2})
end
end
function scene:hide(event)
local sceneGroup=self.view
if event.phase=="will" then
audio.fadeOut(theme,{500})
end
elseif event.phase=="did" then
audio.stop(2)
end
end
function scene:destroy(event)
local sceneGroup=self.view
audio.dispose(theme)
end
The other scene (let's suppose it's "credits.lua") is called by a button with a "tap" event attached. In "credits.lua" I use this function to go back to "menu.lua" scene (function is called with a "tap" event attached to a button)
local function goMenu()
composer.removeScene("menu")
composer.gotoScene("menu","slideUp",500)
return true
end
I've already tried to play audio in scene:show "did" phase and in scene:create, but the problem persists. The problem happens with all the scenes, all static (3 in total). Any idea?
