  • UIImagePickerController does nothing when using camera after I hit "Use" button

    - by wgpubs
    Code below. When I hit the "Use" button after taking a picture ... the application becomes totally unresponsive. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? The "addPlayer:" method is called when a button is pressed on the UIViewController's view. Thanks - (IBAction) addPlayers: (id)sender{ // Show ImagePicker UIImagePickerController *imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init]; imagePicker.delegate = self; // If camera is available use it and display custom overlay view so that user can add as many pics // as they want without having to go back to parent view if([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable: UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera]) { imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera; } else { imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary; } [self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:YES]; [imagePicker release]; } - (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info { // Grab original image UIImage *photo = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage]; // Resize photo first to reduce memory consumption [self.photos addObject:[photo scaleToSize:CGSizeMake(200.0f, 300.0f)]]; // Enable *PLAY* button if photos > 1 if([self.photos count] > 1) btnStartGame.enabled = YES; // Update player count label lblPlayerCount.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [self.photos count]]; // Dismiss picker if not using camera picker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]; }

  • Using events in an external swf to load a new external swf

    - by wdense51
    Hi I'm trying to get an external swf to load when the flv content of another external swf finishes playing. I've only been using actiosncript 3 for about a week and I've got to this point from tutorials, so my knowledge is limited. This is what I've got so far: Code for External swf (with flv content): import fl.video.FLVPlayback; import fl.video.VideoEvent; motionClip.playPauseButton = player; motionClip.seekBar = seeker; motionClip.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, goNext); function goNext(e:VideoEvent):void { nextFrame(); } And this is the code for the main file: var Xpos:Number=110; var Ypos:Number=110; var swf_MC:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); var loader:Loader = new Loader(); var defaultSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest("arch_reel.swf"); addChild (swf_MC); swf_MC.x=Xpos swf_MC.y=Ypos loader.load(defaultSWF); swf_MC.addChild(loader); //Btns Universal Function function btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{ SoundMixer.stopAll(); swf_MC.removeChild(loader); var newSWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("motion.swf"); loader.load(newSWFRequest); swf_MC.addChild(loader); } function returnSWF(event:Event):void{ swf_MC.removeChild(loader); loader.load(defaultSWF); swf_MC.addChild(loader); } //Btn Listeners motion.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btnClick); swf_MC.addEventListener(swf_MC.motionClip.Event.COMPLETE,swf_MC.motionClip.eventClip, returnSWF); I'm starting to get an understanding of how all of this works, but it's all to new to me at the moment, so I'm sure I've approached it from the wrong angle. Any help would be fantastic, as I've been trying at this for a few days now. Thanks

  • iOS 5.0 AVAudioPlayer Error loading audio clip: The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -50.)

    - by Jason Catudal
    So I'm trying to test out the audio player on the iPhone, and I went off Troy Brant's iOS book. I have the Core Audio, Core Foundation, AudioToolbox, and AVFoundation frameworks added to my project. The error message I get is in the subject field. I read like 20 pages of Google search results before resorting to asking here! /sigh. Thanks if you can help. Here's my code, pretty much verbatim out of his book: NSString *soundFilePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Yonah" ofType:@"caf"]; NSLog(@"%@", soundFilePath); NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL URLWithString:soundFilePath]; NSError *error; audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:fileURL error:&error]; if (!error) { audioPlayer.delegate = self; //audioPlayer.numberOfLoops = -1; [audioPlayer play]; } else { NSLog(@"Error loading audio clip: %@", [error localizedDescription]); } EDIT: Holy Shinto. I figured out what it was. I changed NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL URLWithString:soundFilePath]; to NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:soundFilePath]; to the latter and I was getting a weird error, weirder than the one in the subject BUT I googled that and I changed my OS input device from my webcam to my internal microphone and guess what, it worked under the fileURLWithPath method. I'll be. Damned.

  • Building Cross Platform app - recommendation

    - by Ben
    Hi, I need to build a fairly simple app but it needs to work on both PC and Mac. It also needs to be redistributable on a disc or usb drive as a standalone desktop app. Initially I thought AIR would be perfect for this (it ticks all the API requirements), but the difficulty is making it distributable, as the app would require the AIR runtime to be installed to run. I came across Shu Player as an option as it seems to be able to package the AIR runtime with the app and do a (silent?) install. However this seems to break the T&C from Adobe (as outlined here) so I'm not sure about the legality. Another option could be Zinc but I haven't tested it so I'm not sure how well it'll fit the bill. What would you recommend or suggest I check out? Any suggestion much appreciated EDIT: There's a few more discussions on mono usage (though no real conclusion): Here and Here EDIT2: Titanium could also fit the bill maybe, will check it out. Any more comments from anyone? Ben

  • Viewing a large-resolution VNC server through a small-resolution viewer in Ubuntu

    - by Madiyaan Damha
    I have two Ubuntu computers, one with a large screen resolution (1920x1600) that is running default ubuntu vnc server. I have another computer that has a resolution of about 1200x1024 that I use to vnc into the server (I use the default ubuntu vnc viewer). Now everything works fine except there are annoying scrollbars in the viewer because the server's desktop resolution is so much higher than the viewer's. Is there a way to: 1) Scale the server's desktop down to the viewer's resolution. I know there will be a loss of image quality, but I am willing to try it out. This should be something like how windows media player or vlc scales down the window (and does some interpolation of pixels). 2) Automatically shrink the resolution of the server to the client's when I connect and scale the resolution back when I disconnect. This seems like a less attractive solution. 3) Any other solution that gurus out there use? I am sure someone has experienced this before (annoying scroll bars) so there must be a solution out there. Thanks,

  • Flash/Flex: "Warning: filter will not render" problem

    - by davidemm
    In my flex application, I have a custom TitleWindow that pops up in modal fashion. When I resize the browser window, I get this warning: Warning: Filter will not render. The DisplayObject’s filtered dimensions (1286, 107374879) are too large to be drawn. Clearly, I have nothing set with a height of 107374879. After that, any time I mouse over anything in the Flash Player (v. 10), the CPU churns at 100%. When I close the TitleWindow, the problem subsides. Sadly, the warning doesn't seem to indicate which DisplayObject object is too large to draw. I've tried attaching explicit height/widths to the TitleWindow and the components within, but still no luck. [Edit] The plot thickens: I found that the problem only occures when I set the PopUpManager's createPopUp modal parameter to "true." I don't see the behavior when modal is set to "false." It's failing while applying the graying filter to other components that comes from being modal. Any ideas how I can track down the one object that has not been initialized but is being filter during the modal phase? Thanks for reading.

  • DirectX Desktop

    - by Jonathan
    Hi. I'd like to make an animated desktop background for Windows 7 using DirectX. I'm using C#, SlimDX and a couple of P/Invoke imports of Windows API functions. I'm not brilliant with native Windows programming, but I've had a poke around online and I believe what I need to do is either: 1) Find the handle of the window containing the dekstop wallpaper, hook it up to a DirectX device and draw into it. 2) Make a new output window, and insert it above the desktop wallpaper but below the desktop icons. I've tried both these, but neither seems to work. If I navigate the Window heirarchy starting from the handle returned by GetDesktopWindow(), I can go Desktop - WorkerW - SHELLDLL_DefView - SysListView32. If I hook up a DirectX device to this handle, I can draw over the entire desktop, but it also covers the icons. If I create a Windows form, set its parent to SHELLDLL_DefView using SetParent() and then use SetWindowPos to play with its Z-order I can only seem to get it to go either behind the desktop wallpaper or in front of the desktop + icons. It looks as though the desktop wallpaper is background to the folder view containing the icons, and therefore what I am trying to do cannot work. The only solution then would be to not use the desktop for icons, or to find some alternative, e.g. overwriting the desktop then overlaying a transparent window containing a view of the contents of some folder. Does anyone have any idea of what I should be doing, or even whether what I want to do is possible? It seems you can draw to the desktop background using the GDI (as I believe the wxSnow program does), and I've seen something similar to what I want done by VLC Media Player under Windows XP with its DirectX wallpaper mode (interestingly, I can't seem to get this option enabled on my system). Thanks!

  • NSURL Connection will/won't load data

    - by jkap
    So here's my issue: I followed the NSURLConnection tutorial in the iPhone Developer Documentation almost to the T, and it only kinda works. Here's where it all goes wrong: The object seems to be created correctly and delegates to connectionDidFinishLoading, but with any URL I try to load the response data always ends up only being 0 bytes. I am running in the simulator if that makes any difference. Here's my relevant code: - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; self.title = @"WVFS Player"; //create a request NSURLRequest *theRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://wvfs.josh-kaplan.com/nowPlaying.php"] cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy timeoutInterval:60.0]; // create a connection NSURLConnection *theConnection=[[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:theRequest delegate:self]; if(theConnection) { // create the datum responseData=[[NSMutableData data] retain]; } else { // code this later } } - (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response { [responseData setLength:0]; } - (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection { // make it work NSLog(@"Succeeded! Received %d bytes of data:",[responseData length]); // release it [connection release]; [responseData release]; } And here's my log output: [Session started at 2010-03-14 09:01:09 -0400.] 2010-03-14 09:01:14.784 WVFS[19571:207] Succeeded! Received 0 bytes of data: Any ideas? Thanks, Josh

  • Android Scoreloop, OpenFeint etc al

    - by theblitz
    I am looking to use one of the social networks in my Android program. Most important for me is the ability to build a continuous leadership board in which players move up and down depending their wins/loses to others. The idea is for players to challenge others head-to-head. The winner gains points and the loser loses points. Equally important, I want this feature to include the possibility to "charge" the player game coins. Scoreloop includes the possibility of challenges but they are there in order to win coins off other players. In other words, they are the means to the end. In my case I need it to be the other way around. The "ends" is to be higher in the leadership board and the "means" are to play others with coins. Scoreloop do have a continuos leadership board but it is not accessible from the program. I tried looking at OpenFeint but their site is a real mess. It is impossible to understand from there exactly what is and isn't available. I signed up and tried to add my program. I ended up adding it four times and cannot delete it!

  • FileReference.load() does not as excepted

    I used Flash player 10, and Flex SDK 3.4. The code as followings: // Following comes callbacks function imageLoadOpenCallback(evt:Event):void { trace("in--open"); } function imageLoadCompleteCallback(evt:Event):void { trace("in--load"); var fr:FileReference = evt.target as FileReference; trace(fr.data); } function imageLoadErrorCallback(evt:IOErrorEvent):void { trace("in--ioerror"); } function imageSelectCancelCallback(evt:Event):void { trace("in cancel"); } function imageSelectCallback(evt:Event):void { trace("in -- select"); for (var i:int=0; i<frl.fileList.length; i++) { frl.fileList[i].addEventListener(Event.OPEN, imageLoadOpenCallback); frl.fileList[i].addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoadCompleteCallback); frl.fileList[i].addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, imageLoadErrorCallback); frl.fileList[i].load(); trace(frl.fileList[i]); trace(frl.fileList[i].creationDate); trace(frl.fileList[i].creator); trace(frl.fileList[i].data); trace(frl.fileList[i].name); } } // Following comes UI handlers function onAddPictures():void { var imageFilter:FileFilter = new FileFilter("Images", "*.jpg;*.png"); frl.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, imageSelectCallback); frl.addEventListener(Event.CANCEL, imageSelectCancelCallback); frl.browse([imageFilter]); } Only the imageSelectCancelCallback handler get called when I select some files in the dialog. But no load/open/io_error handler get called at all. I have Google some code example, in which it used FileReference instead of FileReferenceList. I don't know the reason, could you please help me?

  • Dealing with asynchronous control structures (Fluent Interface?)

    - by Christophe Herreman
    The initialization code of our Flex application is doing a series of asynchronous calls to check user credentials, load external data, connecting to a JMS topic, etc. Depending on the context the application runs in, some of these calls are not executed or executed with different parameters. Since all of these calls happen asynchronously, the code controlling them is hard to read, understand, maintain and test. For each call, we need to have some callback mechanism in which we decide what call to execute next. I was wondering if anyone had experimented with wrapping these calls in executable units and having a Fluent Interface (FI) that would connect and control them. From the top of my head, the code might look something like: var asyncChain:AsyncChain = execute(LoadSystemSettings) .execute(LoadAppContext) .if(IsAutologin) .execute(AutoLogin) .else() .execute(ShowLoginScreen) .etc; asyncChain.execute(); The AsyncChain would be an execution tree, build with the FI (and we could of course also build one without a FI). This might be an interesting idea for environments that run in a single threaded model like the Flash Player, Silverlight, JavaFX?, ... Before I dive into the code to try things out, I was hoping to get some feedback.

  • Canvas rotate from bottom center image angle?

    - by Tom
    How do you rotate an image with the canvas html5 element from the bottom center angle? See http://uptowar.com/test.php for my current code and image: <html> <head> <title>test</title> <script type="text/javascript"> function startup() { var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas'); var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d'); var img = new Image(); img.src = 'player.gif'; img.onload = function() { ctx.translate(185, 185); ctx.rotate(90 * Math.PI / 180); ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0, 64, 120); } } </script> </head> <body onload='startup();'> <canvas id="canvas" style="position: absolute; left: 300px; top: 300px;" width="800" height="800"></canvas> </body> </html> Unfortunately this seems to rotate it from the top left angle of the image. Any idea? Edit: in the end the object (space ship) has to rotate like a clock pointer, as if it is turning right/left.

  • Debugging Key-Value-Observing overflow.

    - by Paperflyer
    I wrote an audio player. Recently I started refactored some of the communication flow to make it fully MVC-compliant. Now it crashes, which in itself is not surprising. However, it crashes after a few seconds inside the Cocoa key-value-observing routines with a HUGE stack trace of recursive calls to NSKeyValueNotifyObserver. Obviously, it is recursively observing a value and thus overflowing the NSArray that holds pending notifications. According to the stack trace, the program loops from observeValueForKeyPath to setMyValue and back. Here is the according code: - (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath ofObject:(id)object change:(NSDictionary *)change context:(void *)context { if ([keyPath isEqual:@"myValue"] && object == myModel && [self myValue] != [myModel myValue]) { [self setMyValue:[myModel myValue]; } } and - (void)setMyValue:(float)value { myValue = value; [myModel setMyValue:value]; } myModel changes myValue every 0.05 seconds and if I log the calls to these two functions, they get called only every 0.05 seconds just as they should be, so this is working properly. The stack trace looks like this: -[MyDocument observeValueForKeyPath:ofObject:change:context:] NSKeyValueNotifyObserver NSKeyValueDidChange -[NSObject(NSKeyValueObserverNotification) didChangeValueForKey:] -[MyDocument setMyValue:] _NSSetFloatValueAndNotify …repeated some ~8k times until crash Do you have any idea why I could still be spamming the KVO queue?

  • Trigger for ComboBox in Silverlight

    - by Budda
    Is there any possibility to display selected item of the ComboBox (after popup closing) in a way that is different from its displaying in DropDown List (There are players number and name in the dropdown list, but after list closing I want to see only its number). How can I change a background for the player with some Flag? As far as I know, all of that can be done with triggers, but are they supported in Silverlight 4, VS2010, Silverlight Toolkit 4? In my case the following code <ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding PlayersAll}" SelectedItem="{Binding Path=SelectedPlayer, Mode=TwoWay}" > <ComboBox.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <ToolkitControls:WrapPanel Orientation="Horizontal"> <TextBlock Text="{Binding TeamNumber}"/> <TextBlock Text=" - "/> <TextBlock Text="{Binding ShortName}"/> </ToolkitControls:WrapPanel> <DataTemplate.Triggers> <Trigger Property="HasError" Value="True"> <Setter Property="Background" TargetName="FlagSet" Value="Red"/> </Trigger> </DataTemplate.Triggers> </DataTemplate> </ComboBox.ItemTemplate> </ComboBox> gives an error: The property 'Triggers' does not exist on the type 'DataTemplate' in the XML namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation' what is wrong here?

  • Things one needs to know while writing a game engine

    - by Joe Barr
    I have been dabbling in game development as a hobby for a while now, and I cannot seam to quite get my games to sparkle at least a bit with some graphics. I have decided to write a simple test game engine that only focuses on the representation of graphics - shapes, textures and surfaces. While I have a few very simple game engines designed for my own games under my belt, I want to create a game engine that I can use to display and play with graphics. I'm going to do this in C++. Since this is my first time with a major engine, the engine in not going to focus on 3D graphics, it's going to be a mixture of isometric and 2D graphics. My previous engines have incorporated (been able to draw) or focused on simple flat (almost 2D) non impressive graphic designs and representations of: the player NPCs objects walls and surfaces textures Also, I had some basic AI and sometimes even sound. They also saved and loaded games. They didn't have a map editor or a level editor. Is this going to be a problem in the future? At this time I have to point out that some of my games didn't get finished because I was to lazy to write the few last levels. My question at this point would be: What are some things one should know if one wants write (develope) a better graphical game engine with all it's functions.

  • Abstract Base Class or Class?

    - by Mohit Deshpande
    For my semester project, my team and I are supposed to make a .jar file (library, not runnable) that contains a game development framework and demonstrate the concepts of OOP. Its supposed to be a FRAMEWORK and another team is supposed to use our framework and vice-versa. So I want to know how we should start. We thought of several approaches: 1. Start with a plain class public class Enemy { public Enemy(int x, int y, int health, int attack, ...) { ... } ... } public class UserDefinedClass extends Enemy { ... } 2. Start with an abstract class that user-defined enemies have to inherit abstract members public abstract class Enemy { public Enemy(int x, int y, int health, int attack, ...) { ... } public abstract void draw(); public abstract void destroy(); ... } public class UserDefinedClass extends Enemy { ... public void draw() { ... } public void destroy() { ... } } 3. Create a super ABC (Abstract Base Class) that ALL inherit from public abstract class VectorEntity { ... } public abstract class Enemy extends VectorEntity { ... } public class Player extends VectorEntity { ... } public class UserDefinedClass extends Enemy { ... } Which should I use? Or is there a better way?

  • Google Maps Api android key

    - by Cookie
    Hi, I have some trouble testing my Android application which includes the google maps API. The ooficial API example worked just fine but if I copy the code into my own project it keeps saying: "The application has stopped unexpectedly". I looked up the key in the keystore several times and registered it with google. Even tried reinstalling the SDK. Does anybody know what the problem is? Thanks in advance 05-16 14:31:11.142: ERROR/ActivityThread(662): Failed to find provider info for com.google.settings 05-16 14:31:11.150: ERROR/ActivityThread(662): Failed to find provider info for com.google.settings 05-16 14:31:12.598: ERROR/MediaPlayerService(542): Couldn't open fd for content://settings/system/notification_sound 05-16 14:31:12.624: ERROR/MediaPlayer(562): Unable to to create media player 05-16 14:31:05.098: ERROR/ActivityThread(608): Failed to find provider info for android.server.checkin 05-16 14:31:06.538: ERROR/ActivityThread(608): Failed to find provider info for android.server.checkin 05-16 14:31:06.645: ERROR/ActivityThread(608): Failed to find provider info for android.server.checkin 05-16 14:31:12.803: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(715): ERROR: thread attach failed 05-16 14:31:13.698: ERROR/ActivityThread(723): Failed to find provider info for com.google.settings 05-16 14:31:13.987: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(723): Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception PS: there are some exceptions following but none pointing to my code, everything in background processes.

  • what is the best way to stream a audio file to website users/listners

    - by Naveen Chamikara Gamage
    I'm developing a music site which will stream audio files stored in a server to users, audio files will be played through flash player placed in a webpage.. As I heard I need to use a streaming media server for streaming audio files ( like 2mb to 3mb in size).. Do I need to use one? I found some streaming media server softwares like http://www.icecast.org - but as in their documentation, It is used for streaming radio stations and live streaming purposes, but I just need to stream audio files faster and in low size (low bandwidth) with good quality.. I heard I need to encode the audio files first and then send them to listeners and in their end audio files need to be decoded again. Is that true? How can I do that? if I need to use a special web server, where should I host my files? Any good hosting providers? if I host audio files in a normal web server, they will use HTTP or TCP to deliver my audio files to users/ listners but I found that HTTP and TCP are not good ways to use for multi media purposes like streaming audio and video files, and they are used for delivering HTML and stuff. I found I should use RSTP or UDP for streaming audio files.. What should I use? I know that .MP3 files has much better quality than the other formats but it also gives huge size to the audio files.. which format should I use for audio files? Most of the best quality audio files are more than 7mb so I'm planning to convert them my self using a software so I could get low size files with some level of good quality. If I'm converting my audio files what is the good BITRATE I should use for my files? Any known best softwares for converting audio files while keeping quality in a good level? Note** - I know that I will not need complex requirements at the beginning of the site but I wanted to what are the best ways like they are using for soundcloud.com

  • HTML5 <video> callbacks?

    - by Andrew
    I'm working on a site for a client and they're insistent on using HTML5's video tag as the delivery method for some of their video content. I currently have it up and running with a little help from http://videojs.com/ to handle the Internet Explorer Flash fallback. One thing they've asked me to do is, after the videos finish playing (they're all a different length), fade them out and then fade a picture in place of the video --- think of it like a poster frame after the video. Is this even possible? Can you get the timecode of a currently playing movie via Javascript or some other method? I know Flowplayer (http://flowplayer.org/demos/scripting/grow.html) has an onFinish function, is that the route I should take in lieu of the HTML5 video method? Does the fact that IE users will be getting a Flash player require two separate solutions? Any input would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently using jQuery on the site, so I'd like to keep the solution in that realm if at all possible. Thanks!

  • searching article for names in the database before submitting article to the database

    - by zurna
    I want to create a function that will search through a text, find names those match with existing names in the database and add links to those names before submitting the article to the database. i.e. text: Chelsea are making a change now as goalscorer Nicolas Anelka is replaced by in-form Florent Malouda who can do no wrong lately. Nicolas Anelka exists in the database in the Players table with ID column equals to 1. I want text to be converted to Chelsea are making a change now as goalscorer a href="player.asp=ID=1"Nicolas Anelka/a is replaced by in-form Florent Malouda who can do no wrong lately. I know my code is logically wrong but I could build the correct logic. Function PlayerStats (ArticleDesc) If IsNull(ArticleDesc) Then Exit Function SQL = "SELECT PlayerID, PlayerName" SQL = SQL & " FROM Players" ' SQL = SQL & " WHERE PlayerID = "& &"" Set objPlayer = objConn.Execute(SQL) Do While NOT objPlayer.EOF ArticleDesc = Replace(ArticleDesc, objPlayer("PlayerName"), "!"&objPlayer("PlayerName")&"!") PlayerStats = ArticleDesc Loop objPlayer.MoveNext End Function

  • Problems playing multiple sounds using AVPlayer (NOT AVAudioPlayer)

    - by myetter37
    I'm trying to play a background song in my iPhone game and also have sound effects, using the AVFoundation framework and AVPlayerItem. I've scoured the Internet for help with AVPlayerItem and AVPlayer but I'm only finding stuff about AVAudioPlayer. The background song plays fine, but when the character jumps, I have 2 problems: 1) On the initial jump ([player play] inside jump method), the jump sound effect interrupts the background music. 2) If I try to jump again, the game crashes with the error "AVPlayerItem cannot be associated with more than one instance of AVPlayer" My professor told me to create a new instance of AVPlayer for each sound I want to play, so I'm confused. I'm doing data driven design, so my sound files are listed in a .txt and then loaded into a NSDictionary. Here's my code: - (void) storeSoundNamed:(NSString *) soundName withFileName:(NSString *) soundFileName { NSURL *assetURL = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:soundName ofType:soundFileName]]; AVURLAsset *mAsset = [[AVURLAsset alloc] initWithURL:assetURL options:nil]; AVPlayerItem *mPlayerItem = [AVPlayerItem playerItemWithAsset:mAsset]; [soundDictionary setObject:mPlayerItem forKey:soundName]; NSLog(@"Sound added."); } - (void) playSound:(NSString *) soundName { // from .h: @property AVPlayer *mPlayer; // from .m: @synthesize mPlayer = _mPlayer; _mPlayer = [[AVPlayer alloc] initWithPlayerItem:[soundDictionary valueForKey:soundName]]; [_mPlayer play]; NSLog(@"Playing sound."); } If I move this line from the second method into the first: _mPlayer = [[AVPlayer alloc] initWithPlayerItem:[soundDictionary valueForKey:soundName]]; The game does not crash, and the background song will play perfectly, but the jump sound effect does not play, even though the console is showing "Playing sound." on each jump. Thank you
