SoundChannel SOUND_COMPLETE not being fired when SoundChannel.stop() called...

Hi all...

I'm writing some code that's an audio player; I'm using the streaming API (the SAMPLE_DATA event) to push the audio data.

This works fine, and I get a SOUND_COMPLETE event when there is no more sound data.

However, if I execute the function SoundChannel.stop() (in response to a "pause" button being pressed onscreen), the audio stops, but no SOUND_COMPLETE event is generated.

Is this as expected?  It seems odd to me that a SOUND_COMPLETE event would only be generated when incoming sound data is exhausted, but not when the stop() method is called.

Does anyone have experience with these APs?  I couldn't find a solution anywhere I've searched so far...

Correct answer kglad

actually, i don't see a satisfactory way to do that because the soundchannel class is final and therefore cannot be extended (without hacking the soundchannel class).

imo, tracking that in the obvious way is preferable.  ie, you know when stop() is applied, do or call whatever when that occurs.

it's a soundcomplete event, not a soundstopped event so it makes sense to me.

and it you want to create a custom soundstopped event that dispatched when a sound stops, create it.

Thanks, kglad - so, there's a way in ActionScript to add custom events to custom actions in predefined components like SoundChannel?

I could surely add my own event when I call SoundChannel.stop(), but that would be without knowledge of what SoundChannel.stop() is doing internally; ideally I'd generate such an event when stop() closes an actively playing stream (one that isn't already stopped), so that would require modifying the internals of SoundChannel, wouldn't it?
