Audio playlist with javascript arrays

Ta for the PM.

There where some errors in your json.

You missed out a couple of commas. They are very important.

This is how it should be.

The other issue is you did not give the class names to the elements as I said and as my images showed.

Final thing, make sure the images exist in the project. there was no cover15.jpg in the PM project.

Mark - I've got 24 pieces of audio and graphics all inserted and it's working really well, but some are quite long and I'd like to be able to include +15 and -15 second buttons to rewind or skip forward.

Any thoughts on that?

I've only done it before with a much simpler player using Howl when I was just skipping or rewinding one sound.

Have your buttons point to something like

var currentScene = document.getElementById(hypeDocument.currentSceneId())
var audio = currentScene.querySelector(".myaudio");  //Get player elements
audio.currentTime += 15.0;

Or

var currentScene = document.getElementById(hypeDocument.currentSceneId())
var audio = currentScene.querySelector(".myaudio");  //Get player elements
 audio.currentTime -= 15.0;
