You could use an MP3 > GET PROPERTY > PROGRESS action to store the current MP3 playhead location into a variable, i.e. %timeMarker% and then all you have to do when they return to the page is use an MP3 > SEEK action to restore the playhead to that %timeMarker% marked position and then an MP3 > PLAY action to let 'er rip...

Nope, sorry. Roll up your sleeves and get in there... It's all explained very well there and it's all easy stuff... [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Besides it's fun. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Who knows, maybe someone else will build it for you and post it????

BTW I noticed you sent me an email notfiying me of your post here after I had already answered it. Two thing please:

1. Check to see if an answer was posted before sending anybody an email about a post.

2. Sending me an email with a link to your post doesn't speed up the process of getting an answer.

Thanks...

Jumping in and getting dirty is a great way to learn AMS. It is relatively easy once you get your head around it, as they say in the marketing department here.

On the button that is used to leave the page you will want to make sure that you store some variables for that page that show where in the MP3 you were when you left. You might even want a flag variable that shows that you have left the page and come back to that the MP3 does not start automatically when the page reloads but startes at the appropriate place.

for the button to leave the page, I would have some of the following actions

%TimeMeter% = MP3.GetProperty ("Progress")
MP3.Pause
Page.Jump ("Page 2")
%PageJump% = "TRUE"

This will get the current position and then pause the mp3 then jump to page 2

When the page loads or reloads I would have it check to see if page jump did occur and if it did then seek to the marked time and then play. Something like this

MP3.Load ("%SrcDir%\MyMP3\page1.mp3")
<font color=blue>IF (%PageJump% = TRUE)</font color=blue>
MP3.Seek (%TimeMeter%)
<font color=blue>END IF</font color=blue>
MP3.Play

OK the progress needed to be parsed into seconds. here is what I did.

%Hrs% = String.GetDelimitedString ("%Marker%", ":", 0)
%Hrs% = Evaluate (%Hrs% * 3600)
%Mins% = String.GetDelimitedString ("%Marker%", ":", 1)
%Mins% = Evaluate (%Mins% * 60)
%Secs% = String.GetDelimitedString ("%Marker%", ":", 2)
%Marker% = Evaluate (%Hrs% + %Mins% + %Secs%)
MP3.Seek (%Marker%)
MP3.Play

Re: MP3 pause and start when i leave the page

how did you get the evaluate command??????

Re: MP3 pause and start when i leave the page

When you set a variable, there is a checkbox for the "Evaluate value as expression"
