Hello to all,
i have created a sub class to display an Intro-Slideshow with music before the game starts.
The idea was to display some pictures with music in the background until the user hits the SPACE-KEY. After this, i want to bail out to the StartScreen with ig.system.setGame(StartScreen)

It works nice but i cant to stop the music.
When i call setGame the music player forever, if i take this line out, the music stops.

// New Screen class for Intro story
IntroAni = ig.Game.extend({
	
    instructText: new ig.Font( 'media/2Comic-Font_Meili.font.png' ),
    Intro_bkg01: new ig.Image('media/intro/intro_01.png'),
    Intro_Image01: new ig.Image('media/intro/intro_01_2.png'),
    Intro_bkg02: new ig.Image('media/intro/intro_bkg2.png'),
    Intro_Image02: new ig.Image('media/intro/intro_02.png'),
    Intro_bkg03: new ig.Image('media/intro/intro_03.png'),
    displayTime: null,

    init: function( x, y, settings ) {
        ig.input.bind( ig.KEY.SPACE, 'start');
        this.durationTimer = new ig.Timer();
        this.displayTime = 2;

        ig.music.add( 'media/sounds/Funny_sunny_Island.*', "Intro" );
        ig.music.loop = true;
        ig.music.volume = .5;
        ig.music.play("Intro"); 
    },
        
    update: function() {
        this.parent();
        if(ig.input.pressed('start')){
            console.log('leaving Intro - music should stop');
            ig.music.stop("Intro");
            ig.system.setGame(StartScreen)  //<--???
        }
    },
		
    draw: function() { ........... and so on ...

Can someone help me to understand please?

The .stop() method doesn't take any parameters. It always stops the currently playing track. That said, the extra parameter shouldn't cause any problems.

I see no reason why the track shouldn't stop when you switch game classes. Are you maybe calling ig.music.play() anywhere in the StartScreen?

Thank you for the fast reply dominic,
yes indeed, i do call .play() in StartScreen.

So my Intro music just start playing again, i asume. So i need to "free" this sound fromthe list to avoid this?
But how?
