AIR 3.3 stop background audio when another audio app is launched?

I currently have audio playing in the background in my AIR app for iOS. My problem is that when you have the audio playing in the background, and you launch any other audio app on your phone...the audio starts to overlap because my AIR app does not stop playing audio. So when you open Pandora, Music, IHeartRadio, Youtube, etc...the AIR audio still plays.
Is this fixed in the AIR 3.3 release with the <executeInBackground> tag? Or is there another way for my AIR app to recognize that another audio app is launching? All the afformentioned apps play nice together like that.
I would think this would be grounds for not being accepted in the iTunes store.
I really need some answers because my app is set to go live soon and this will be a game changer if I cannot fix it. I will probably have to try and create it in objective C
Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks a lot for the reply!
It is very unfortunate that there is not a solution to this. It seems that building an audio/music player app via AIR for iOS is not really feasable due to this limitation.
I would think the use case would be larger for my case because typically, when you launch a game on your iPhone, the background audio application stops the music. Or maybe just have a listener that could detect if another app was launched at least, so you could stop your AIR audio by choice. That would be great.
Do you see this as grounds for an audio app being rejected? If the background audio does not stop unless you physically go back into the app and pause it?
Thanks.

When mountain lion app nearly launch a hash mismatch error show up, How can i download it help?

How do I stop background audio clips from playing while browsing sites?

Firefox is my default browser. I use Google chrome and Internet explorer sessions for background monitoring news site sessions at the same time. I have no problem with the other two browsers. While surfing with Firefox I get unwanted background audio clips that start and run by themselves. I cannot stop them. They run and then stop by their self. They are some sort of adware and I cannot find the source to remove them. I also get video clips sometimes that I can stop that run around the outside of the active window I am viewing. These is very annoying. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but the problem does not go away. I antivirus software, registry change protection software, and registry cleaning software. The problem is with the default browser.
How can I locate and remove the plugin, addin or service that starts this annoying activity. I have no special unwanted toolbars installed. There is nothing in the installed programs list in the control that shouldn't be there.

I had a similar problem to this. EVERYTIME i started firefox, it would play an audio clip from a flash game i played a while ago, it would last 5 minutes before finishing. i tried the starting in safe mode, but that didn't work for me, so after that i then tried RESETTING firefox, and that has worked for me.
On another side of startup problems, firefox would also open up a new tab on startup, usually 22find.com or do-search.com. i know these are caused by a virus and have since deleted it, but it had changed a preference file in firefox causing it to continue to open on startup.
Having since done the firefox reset, i haven't had either of these problems AT ALL! would recommend this as a possible fix for you friend before trying any lengthy troubleshooting process or downloading any extra anti-virus removal software.
here's the like to showing you how to reset firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems

We have to stop one job when another job is running

Hi,
I have a new Requirement. There are two jobs running in background one is delta load and another one is Full load. Delta load runs for every two hours( Daily 12 loads) and full load runs on sundays(weekly only one load) for 6hrs. Now what happening is Full load and delta load are running on same time i.e when the full load is running, delta loads are also running on the same time, Full load runs for 6 hrs and 3 Delta loads runs on same time. Now we have a requirement to stop the delta loads when full load is running. Is there any posibility how to stop the delta load.

Start background Job when another is finished (NOT with the JobSteps)

Hi guys,
i need your help.
I've already searched here in forum, but i wasn't able to find a good solution.
I have this problem.
I have a program that create a background job with the FM FM JOB_OPEN.. SUBMIT report with parameters .. JOB_CLOSE.
I want that if i run this report again (20 secs after for example) it does:
- Check if there is an already running Job with the same name (means with state 'R') (This task is simply, with a select on TBTO table)
- If it's found, it have to create a new job with the same name that starts automatically AFTER the first running job is finished (don't care about the end-state of the first job).
I've already tried with pred_jobcount & PRED_JOBNAME parameters of the JOB_CLOSE FM but it doesen't works!
The JOB_CLOSE, creates a job in Planned state. But when the first Job is finished, the second job(Planned) doesen't start automatically.
In this scenario, i CANNOT use endless loops (wait until the first job is finished and then submit the second) Job-steps (one job that contains multiple steps) events (i have to start only one job after the predecessor is finished), because this report could be run many times and each job should be collected like a "stack" (only when the first job is finshed the second "registered" should be started and so on, until the aren't more planned jobs).

Hi Veda
i can tell u but ... some reward points are very appreciated ....
I'm joking (of course)
Here the question:
I have a program (called A) that submit a new program (called B) with the JOB_OPEN .. submit JOB_CLOSE. The program B should start only if another program B (called before for example) is finished.
Here the solution.
I add a parameter (with no-display clausole) to the program B. In this parameter i pass to the program, the job number returned by the JOB_OPEN function.
When i create the JOB with the function, the "jobname" parameter is set with value 'G_DELIVERY' (Here u can change the name of the job as u want : this is the jobname that u see in SM37 transaction).
In the start-of-selection of program B i put a "waiting" procedure like this :
First i save a timestamp of system-date and system-time (called for example r_date and r_time)
select from table TBTCO all the jobs called "G_DELIVERY" with jobnumber <> from the jobnumber parameter (that means exclude itselfs) with status running ('R') -> that have startdate /starttime less than the r_date and r_time <- (this is the key of the selection that solve the problem).
if it is found (means there is another running job started before this one).
wait up to 60 seconds. "for example
repeat the selection.
endif.
When the job called before ends, this one programs exits from the loop and continues. If u submit more programs "B", they'll works like a stack.
I should say to u just one thing.... I solved my problem in another way (because i've changed the logic so this problem was no more) so i didn't implemented that logic, but it should works very good.
Try it and tell me!
Bye

Sound automatically Reduced when another video app is playing. (using Windows 8.1)

Hi , first of all If my laptop is inaproppriate here, then you can move this thread to anywhere else suitable. I am using the Lenovo G40-70 laptop that runs on the Windows 8.1 OS bought in March 2014 in a singapore Lenovo store.
When i open an app like VLC or Twitch.tv or playing more than 3 youtube videos simultaneously the sound seems to further decrease for one of the app. When i play only one VLC or one youtube tab the sound seems to go normal. What i want is for the sound to go normal whenever i am playing something as a background and not to automatically quiet it down.
My purpose for this is because my work involves sounds and i want to listen to music while i am working.
Firstly the only close result i've searched is to right click speakers->Playback Devices-> Clicking the Communications Tab-> Do nothing
But it still the same old automatic sound reducing.
I searched everywhere else but i got no luck and now I'm thinking it could be a problem in my laptop.

hi OMGXiYang,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
When you go to the Playback devices.
Under Playback TAB highlight your Sound card and click on properties
You should have another windows which have an Advanced Tab.
Open That and try disabling these two settings and then hit apply.
Hope this helps

Hi hbcondo,
Hardly to see any useful information from the pasted information.
The situation looks more like a local environment issue, I would suggest him to open some other HTML5 Store Apps to validate if those app crashes. Re-install the app and reboot might help.
If the question is related with environment, I think you should post at answer forum:

Stop video audio when jumping to another label?

Hey there I have a video with audio (showing within a "videoHolder" object) at one label, but when I click a back button to go back to the main menu at another label, the video disappears but the audio still plays.
ie the video label is...
var vid = sym.$("videoHolder");
vid.html("<video width='600' height='400' controls= 'controls' preload='auto' autoplay='autoplay' poster='video/medicationAlliance.jpg'>" +
"<source src='video/medicationAlliance.mp4' type='video/mp4' />" +
"<source src='video/medicationAlliance.webm' type='video/webm' />" +
"<source src='video/medicationAlliance.ogg' type='video/ogg' />" +
"</video>");
whilst the main menu is...
sym.stop();
Is there anyway to stop the audio playing at the main menu?
Thanks in advance.

I'm having a similar issue...
a bit of newbee as well..
i have poster... when you click on it... go to another part of the timeline... The video in the videoholder loads up. I have an action script....this works great...
// sym.$("name") resolves an Edge Animate element name to a DOM
// element that can be used with jQuery
var element = sym.$("stealin2");
element.html('<video width="715" height="382" \
src="http://www.richardburnschannel.com/storage/stealinmovieLarge.mov" \
type="video/mp4" controls="controls" \
></video>');
above the videoholder, I created a graphic box with an x for stopping the video.
I create a trigger so the when you click on the X the action goes back start location where the videoholder is gone. Thus, back to the poster. However, the video continues to play. Here's the trigger i use, which works to get rid of the videoholder but not stopping the audio in the video.
// play the timeline from the given position (ms or label)
sym.play("start");
I've tried a bunch of these solition but no luck..

Ipad background audio from video when multitasking

Hello.
This is a request if people can either feedback On their present experience or try this out themselves first and feedback.
I have an ipad 1. When ever i try to get background audio to play from video when multitasking in another app, eg safari, from any video app including plex, airvideo, vlc, and the original apple video app. All that occurs is that the icon changes to the ipod and a random song is played from my music library instead of the audio from the video i was watching. This does not matter if the video file is streamed or stored on the ipad itself.
There is one slight and occasional proviso to this, as at times if the video file is tagged in itunes as 'music' rather than 'movie' or 'tv show' etc then it does on occasions work, and on occasions youtube videos will play in the background. But most of the time these aspects also dont function int he background with the ipod icon instantly replacing which ever video app icon i tried to use in the background.
Now my sons iphone 4 manages to function correctly and always plays video in the background when multitasking.
I have asked this question before on this forum, with no response, so booked a visit to my local genius bar. Where they checked my ipad and agreed it wasnt working as ios should, then interestingly they attempted to do the same on an ipad 2 and it failed to work in exactly the same way. Their response was that this was obviously a fault of the ipad ios, possibly due to the ipad having a separate video app where as the iphone has video within its generic ipod app.
I did the usual by informing apple via of this bug through the feedback system, and requested that the genius bar do the same. But having thought about this, and failed to see any other users on this forum who are also puzzled at this lack of what i think is an important function, i wonder if this means that i am the only one who likes to listen to video when im browsing, so dont need it, or wether everyone elses ipads function as ios should do, and for some reason both my ipad, and the ipad 2 tested in the shop are at fault.
So can i request if others reading this can have a go to see if their ipad will play background audio from video when multitasking, or if the same problem occurs.
Thanks very much this is really appreciated.

Oops clicked the wrong button, I meant to click a 'helpful answer' as it hard to have a correct answer to such a question.
But thanks for the replies.
It looks like this is a bug in ios solely for the ipad, as it does work fine on the iphone although wonder which way the ipod touch will perform. interestingly it looks like i may also be in the minority of wishing to listen to video files as I browse:)
Which probably means apple may never get around to sorting it, as no one else uses the function.
Anyway thanks for the replies, if any one else wants to see the bug have a go and comment, i find it funny how I seem to be the only one to have found it to date.

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
• restart Apple TV
• restart Macbook Pro
• quite iTunes/open
• turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
• unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
None of these have alleviated the problem.
The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

How do I enable background audio? I lose my audio if I open another music app! The latest upgrade says it supports background audio?

How do I enable background audio? Audio shuts off when I open another app! The new upgrade says it supports background audio?

I upgraded to ios6.1 and the newest garage band last night! I thought I would now be able to run background audio like it says. I can't find the option anywhere ? I wish I could send a screen shot of my iPod .

Kill audio when another plays

Hi!
How do I kill audio in a symbol when another symbol starts playing?
I have a very simple setup with a series of symbols on my timeline.
When you click one symbol it hides itself and shows the next symbol.
I have audio for each symbol and cannot get it to stop when the next symbol / audio starts!
i made a click action for each symbol - (there is def1, def2, def3, def4, def5)
for example, on "def1", this is the click action:
sym.$("def1").hide();
sym.$("def1").stop(); //me trying to stop the sound completely
sym.$("def2").show();
var mySymbolObject = sym.getSymbol("def2");
mySymbolObject.play();
Everything is perfect except the sound from def1 still plays when def2 starts!
Help would be great!
ps (I can post files if needed. I know I can do an array, too, I just don't really know how...)

If you are using animate audio then all you need to do is reset the audio like this:
var music = sym.$("music")[0];
music.pause();
music.currentTime = 0;

Macbook Air 2010 trackpad stop working when touching case (palm rest)

My MBA 2010 A1369 had demaged keyboard and trackpad by liquid. I got used whoel top case and replace. (not myself)
Seller claimed it is ok but we face one problem. when I touch case (palm rest) trackpad stops responding. When on one side partly when with both hands then completely. Even when touching case from side. Even when case is comered by paper. So it strange behavior.
Both cases were from A1369 model but on mine was black plastic foil over part of keyboard while on other not. So I am not sure there could be some other differences that could cause this.
Would anybody has any suggestion where could be problem? Wrong contact bad insulation somewhere or faulty trackpad.
Thanks a lot.
Frantisek

I reply by myself. Problem was in trackpad. I tried another one and it is ok now. Previous one probably suffer some liquid demage on sides.

I purchased a macbook air from someone on craigslist, and when i try to download iPhoto, it tells me that these apps were already designated to another apple id.

I purchased a macbook air from someone on craigslist, and when i try to download iPhoto, it tells me that these apps were already designated to another apple id. any way to reset the app store from thinking it's still alligned with him? Lion was reset already, but this isn't. If i download on my mac mini, will i then be able to retrieve the download on my air?

Hi...
On the MBAir drag the iPhoto app to the Trash, empty the Trash.
Then try purchasing and downloading iPhoto.
You can re download iPhoto on all your authorized Macs. To authorize the MBAir, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store > Authorize This Mac. You will be prompted for your Apple ID and password.
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

Background audio not adjusting after project is paused when published to Flash. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I'm working with:
Captivate 6
Mac OS X 10.8.2
Flash Player is updated to most recent version
My project contains background audio music set to adjust to slide audio. When I publish to Flash the background audio adjusts appropriately until I pause the video and then resume. Once the video resumes the background audio no longer adjusts to slide audio. So basically anytime a learner pauses the video and then resumes the background audio drowns the slide audio out. I've tried this with multiple projects and get the same result.
When I publish in HTML5 it works fine. But I cannot use HTML5 because my project contains necessary rollover objects and captions, slide transitions, text animations, and other effects that HTML5 does not support.
I've to remove and re-add the background audio, uninstall and reinstall Captivate, adjust the background and slide volume levels, uncheck loop audio, and pretty much any audio settings and publish settings I can think of.
Can someone else with the same OS and Captivate version try and see if they encounter the same problem when publishing to Flash?
Or does anyone have a solution/workaround?
Thank You!

Hi folks
Sorry, I don't have a fix to offer. Only an observation. I'm rather surprised to see this many folks actually USING background audio. I say that, because I have facilitated hundreds of Captivate classes over the years. And there are lots of folks with Instructional Design background that attend. And in so many of the classes, when we reach the audio section and we cover how to use Background Audio, the same comment is made.
The comment is that generally speaking, it is their opinion that from an Instructional Design standpoint, background music is a "no no" and should be avoided because it detracts from the learning objective.
Perhaps the link below will help.
