AVAudioPlayer stop

[GeoffMilburn]

I'm trying to stop a sound with a button but cannot get it to work no matter what iv tried here is an example one of the things I have tried.

HEADER:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <AVFoundation/AVAudioPlayer.h>

@interface MainView : UIView {
}

-(IBAction)sound1;
-(IBAction)stop;

@end

MAIN:

#import "MainView.h"

@implementation MainView

- (IBAction)sound1 {

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"sound" ofType:@"wav"];
AVAudioPlayer* theAudio=[[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPathath] error:NULL];
theAudio.delegate = self;
[theAudio play];

}

- (IBAction) stop {

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"sound" ofType:@"wav"];
AVAudioPlayer* theAudio=[[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPathath] error:NULL];
theAudio.delegate = self;
[theAudio stop];

}

@end

I know there is a simple way to do this but I'm completely lost.
Please help!

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <AVFoundation/AVAudioPlayer.h>

@interface MainView : UIView {
        
        AVAudioPlayer *theAudio;

}

-(IBAction)sound1;
-(IBAction)stop;

@end

MAIN:

#import "MainView.h"

@implementation MainView

- (IBAction)sound1 {

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"sound" ofType:@"wav"];
AVAudioPlayer* theAudio=[[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPathath] error:NULL];
theAudio.delegate = self;
[theAudio play];

}

change:

AVAudioPlayer* theAudio=[[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPathath] error:NULL];

to:

theAudio=[[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPathath] error:NULL];

I was having the same problem till I did that...

[GeoffMilburn]

thank you so much it stops the sound but the sound is looping and when the playloop button is pressed more than once the stopsound button will only stop the first loop. any ideas?

[Azaric]

Unless you want to have multiple instances of the sound playing like that I would check to see if the audio is playing and if it is then don't play it.

if(myAudio.playing != YES){
[myAudio play];
}
