Getting past AudioContext chrome blocker - user click

Hi
I can see this was discussed backed in 2019 but I have virtually zero js knowledge. I understand the issue that chrome (canvas) wants the user to click before it will play my audio file and I added a button to do this. Still I get the "It must be resumed (or created) after a user gesture on the page" message.

 

let root = this;
this.mybutt.addEventListener ("click", playSound);

function playSound () {
createjs.Sound.play("mymix");
}

 

 This is my attempt and it works locally.
 
I can see there are posting about resummed and suspend AudioContext but these dont go quite simple enough for my level, ie I cant find the whole piece of code or tutorial. Can anyone signpost me where I can find the whole solution to what must be a very common requirement?
 
Many thanks
Grouse

you have an error in your code.  (ie, learn* to use the developer console of your browser.)

 

specifically, this.currentSoundStreamInMovieclip.instance is undefined

Thanks for this. I appreciate the "teach a man to fish..." videos and I have gone through them which will stand me in good sted. The bit I am unfamiliar with now is that the code works locally so is it something to do with the AudioContext not being allowed to start is causing ther undefined'ness? If so do I still need ot find a tutorial resource for AudioContext js for beginners?

You are correct of course , the error is there however the sound plays when I click the button locally.

Any other guidance, its getting a bit heavy for my level of knowledge. If not I'll have to get it coded for me as I have spent a whole afternoon googling. Just thought it must be a standard issue for anyone playing audio from a webpage.

I have put it as zip so it should download ok. Thanks. Is the whole AudioContext a red herring?

you're not even close to my record of stupid errors.  part of the reason i!m pretty good at helping others is because of how many errors i make/made and have to fix.
