Sound overlapping with multiple button presses

Question

When I press a button, then press another one, the sounds overlap. How can I fix that so the first sound stops when another one is pressed?

 - (void)playOnce

You will need to utizilize a BOOL value to get this to work properly.

in your .m file BEFORE @implementation put this:

static BOOL soundIsPlaying = NO;

Then your IBAction needs to look something like this:

- (IBAction)play {
    if (soundIsPlaying == YES) {
        [theAudio release];
        soundIsPlaying = NO;

    }

    else if (soundIsPlaying == NO) {
        NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"SOUNDFILENAME" ofType:@"wav"];
        theAudio=[[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path] error:NULL];
        theAudio.delegate = self;
        theAudio.volume = 1.0;
        theAudio.numberOfLoops = 0;
        [theAudio play];
        soundIsPlaying = YES;

    }   
}

thats honestly about it. It will stop sounds when another button is pressed.
