Wait for an audio file to end playing until new action possible?

Hi all

I'm playing a sound file in my VR. While it's playing I want all onkeydown events to be disabled. Is this possible somehow?

Thanks a lot
Josh

I would make use of a variable 'audioPlaying = True/False' that's being checked everytime a key-event occurs.

snippets: (I use self here since I think in classes/objects)

Code:

def playAudio(self, file):

self.audioPlaying = True

..code to start audio

Code:

def onkeydown(self, key):

if not self.audioPlaying:

 ... handle keys

else:

     print "audio playing, so keys are disabled"

in the place where you register onkeydown, register the following:

Code:

viz.callback(viz.MEDIA_END, self.audioEnded)



def audioEnded(self, e):

     self.audioPlaying = False
