Solution 1

Ihad to rewrite the code but, I got this working in the end by loading the animation in its entirety when you click on the next button rather than just updating a single div.

It's a workaround but at least its working now.

Thanks to Omar who helped a lot with this problem.

Solution 2

You can do something like this:

$('audio').each(function(){
    this.pause(); // Stop playing
    this.currentTime = 0; // Reset time
});

I'm updating a div in a page using jquery mobile in order to play some animations.

The animations also play sound through use of document.createElement('audio');

My problem is, when I update the page to another animation, the old sound keeps playing.

Sorry, this is my first question and if it seems like im not phrasing it properly I apologise.

Here is my code..

Here is the code of the animation to be loaded into the #animation div

<!DOCTYPE HTML>

  <head>
    <style>
      body {
        margin: 0px;
        padding: 0px;

        height: 400
    });
    var babyLayer = new Kinetic.Layer();
    var backLayer = new Kinetic.Layer();


    var imageObj = new Image();
    var backObj = new Image();
    imageObj.onload = function() {
    var baby = new Kinetic.Image({
      x: stage.getWidth() / 2 -100 ,
      y: stage.getHeight() / 2 -100,
      image: imageObj,
      width: 200,
      height: 200,
      opacity: 0.0
    });

    var background = new Kinetic.Image({

    // add the shape to the layer
    babyLayer.add(baby);

    // add the layer to the stage

    stage.add(backLayer);
    babyLayer.moveToTop();
    babyLayer.draw();

Here is the main page code. It gets the filename of the animation page to be loaded into #animation from an array when you click the next button.

<div id="nav" data-role="content" style="width: 600px; margin: 0 auto; text-align: center; position: relative; top:450px">
    <a href="#animation" data-role="button" data-inline="true" id ="back">Back</a>

    <script>
        var count=0;
        var link_array = ['baby', 'bed', 'book', 'cat', 'chair', 'daddy', 'dog', 'mummy', 'shoe', 'teddy'];
        $("#next").click(function(e) {
            if(count!==9)
            { 
                $('audio').stop();
                count+=1;
            }
            $('#animation1wl').load('../Animations/' + link_array[count] + '.html');
            $('#animation1wl').trigger('create');
        }); 
        $("#back").click(function(e) {
            if(count !==0)
            {
                count-=1;
            }
            $('#animation1wl').load('../Animations/' + link_array[count] + '.html');
            $('#animation1wl').trigger('create');
        }); 
    </script>
</div>

<div id="animation" data-role="content" style="width: 600px; margin: 0 auto; text-align: left">Problem Loading Resource LNW</div>

When I click the forward or back buttons, I want the audio from the previous animation loaded into #animation to stop playing..

Here is the code rendered inside #animation

<div id="animation1wl" data-role="content" style="width: 600px; margin: 0 auto; text-align: left" class="ui-content" role="main">

Any help would be great..

Thanks very much.

I was changing my answer in the meanwhile. So it was not up to date yet.
David Folksman about 11 years

Thanks for the reply but I still can't get it to work. Where do I insert this code? I put it into the #next block but still the audio plays when I click the next animation.
m90 about 11 years

Be aware that this might throw an error if the the audio element wasn't initialized yet (i.e. no playhead due to mobile preloading policies). Wrap it in a try cath and you should be fine.

How do you add code to comments? >-<! I've tried inserting this code after $("#next").click(function(e) { but it doesnt do anything. The audio from the previous animation still plays.
David Folksman about 11 years

No I mean how to I make code in these comments appear as you do in the grey styled blocks.

It would be nice if you'd edit the initial question to include the implementation of your solution.

If you only have one initialised audio you can do: $('audio')[0].pause();
