How do you keep music playing between states?

[zencha]

Hey guys, I begin playing some music on my Menu state and then I have a "store" state where the player can shop. I want the music to continue playing if the player switches between the main menu and the store state. 

 

Strange thing is, this was working previously. I probably broke it, but I can't figure out how because there's no code on the the store state about music.

are you adding the music like this: 

this.add.track(...);

If so try to add it like this

game.add.track(...);

where game is your global game object. This way it is globally viewable across states.

I think I'm doing it correctly? My code is:

else if (this.menuMusic.isPlaying == false) {                  this.menuMusic = game.add.audio('musicSwag');                  this.menuMusic.loop = true;                  this.menuMusic.volume = 1;                  this.playMusic();            }

well that's how i do it and it works:

 

in my preload state i call this in the create function:

music1 = game.add.audio('theme2',1,true);   

in the game states i call this:

if (!music1.isPlaying){  music1.play('',0,1,true); } 

the music starts playing and never stops

"music1" is global... maybe that's it ?

Hi, I have the same issue, did you fix it?

I add music to game and play it on create function in other states. But it didn't take effect.

            this.game.music = this.game.add.audio('theme', 1, true);
and

            if(!this.game.music)
                this.game.music = this.game.add.audio('theme', 1, true);
            if(this.game.music.isPlaying == false)
                this.game.music.play();
