  • I am very impressed with C2!

    Because of the scaling and screen sizes, I was hesitant to use 3D artwork for my PRE PiANO app.

    But, to my amazement, C2 handles the job beautifully and I am very happy with how this app is shaping up.

    A few more tweaks and I will submit it to Google Play and iTunes.

    Tested with Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and iPad Air as well as Firefox and Google Chrome.

    Note: The four buttons are not yet functional because ....

    I appreciate your feedback and suggestions (my eyes are not what they used to be).

    Cheers,

    If something else comes up just refresh your browser.

  • thanks black hornet. I will add one more entry ... but to be honest, I am ready to move on.

    With all the apps begin released over the next weeks and months, I should pick up some considerable traffic for http://littlecomposers.com and maybe it's best to upgrade my hosting and find a host which can do what i need.

    I really appreciate your advice! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

  • I was just told by tech support that IE does not support mp4 sound.

    So HOW do I fix this?

  • Alright, it's time to consider plan B!

    Thos of you who have sound working in IE, PLEASE post with whom you are hosting.

    I am willing to change webhost if I have to.

    So??? Is bluehost capable of doing this?

  • Just for the fun of it, I've added "audio/mp4" with the extension ".m4a"

    Now I guess that the server will take some time to update so, I'll test again in a few hours.

    It would be amazing if I could get sound in IE!

  • blackhornet

    been there, done that!

    (Just to be on the safe side, I double checked ALL required mime types as specified in the manual and they are all there).

    I don't know what else I can do?

  • Hello,

    I've added the recommended MIME settings in order to get sound and web storage, application/manifest+json etc. going but my apps still don't produce sound when played online.

    The images bellow shows that the entry is there.

    My host isn't particularly helpful and more or less insists that the problem has to be solved within my app code.

    When tested locally, my apps do function as expected when opened / previewed with IE.

    If anyone has some additional info besides what is in the manual, I'd be most grateful to finally fix this last annoyance.

    For what it's worth, I'd be willing to move to a new host if I have to (so if your sound works in IE, please tell me who you are hosting with?).

    Thanks,

  • Hi guys,

    I use this feature on most of my apps and so far, have not gotten any complaints.

    Just to be sure, I will do some more testing this weekend.

    I'll post again if I encounter issues.

  • Stereotypical 90's kids!

    LOL

  • Welcome C Andre!

    I know how you feel ... C2 is amazing make the old saying "You get what you pay for" not true because you get much more!

  • I haven't published an app for about four years (memories of GameSalad) but today marks the start of a new beginning.

    I just published an app (first run for testing only) and all went as expected.

    The file size is a little big at 26MEG ??? but, it is what it is.

    I will spend the rest of the long weekend (Canada Day is Tuesday) to tweak and optimize and publish as much as I can.

    Little Composers is on track again! YAY

    P.S. I will sign up for a google play account shortly. This test was to download the apk file per email .... just to see if it works AND IT DOES! WooHoo!!!!

  • Caqtus

    add one more "THANK YOU" for your explanation! I am planning to release something this weekend .... and if it works .... we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

  • yonda

    THANK YOU for that answer. I am planning an app which (sort of) uses such a feature as well. V -

    I have about 20 years of music teaching experience and my apps teach specific skills to help those who are struggling and/or in danger to drop out as well as those who are just beginning.

    My teaching uses a little bit of everything but is mostly based on what I studied during my younger years.

    Amazingly, HTML5 took a long time to arrive and get us to the point where we can develop all these apps for the children of tomorrow.

    It is very exciting to be a child these days. All we had was primitive and crashing computers with a stupid operating system but now, things are different.

    My apps are not quite ready yet but by the fall, Little Composers will lift off (fingers crossed).

  • Hi gang,

    I get a lot of requests to include a "PLAY" button on some of my virtual instruments.

    Here is the thing ....

    I use colored sprites which have a sound attached which plays upon being clicked/tabbed.

    The user can drag and drop the sprites on screen and arrange them into a random sequence (drop at a random location).

    Once the sprites are dropped, a student could just simply click on them to hear the new melody BUT, I am wondering what it would take to

    have the play-back quasi automated?

    And while I am at it.

    Is there a way to "store" (save) the sprite layout and reload it later??

    Just wondering.
