One-Time Music

I have music play on my main menu, but every time I return to the menu the block is triggered for it to play again and it plays over the already playing music. Can anyone tell me a way I can make it so the scene detects the music is already playing so it doesn't go again?

Two basic options are to use a boolean. The first time the music plays switch the boolean to stop it playing again.

Option two, put a scene before the main menu that triggers the music.

Use the "Play [sound] On Channel [   ] " block instead of the "Play [sound]" block and Stencyl will automatically detect if the music is already playing on that channel. If it is, the music will continue uninterrupted.

(When you use the "Play [sound]" block, Stencyl just picks the first available channel to play the sound resource on, so this results in multiple instances of the music playing.)

This hasn't worked.

Are you certain that both scenes (the menu and the other scene) are using the same sound resource on the same channel? If so, can you share a picture of the code that plays your music? (from both scenes)
