good day,

My problem is that everytime an object (obj1) hits another object (obj2) a sound will play instantly as the object collides, but the sound will played with a delay of .5sec .

Does anybody know how to make this play instantly?

- newbie here - 🙂

Thanks

i think **sound.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaded);** have no effect bcause this program is in the local machine and also my sound.mp3 file is only 4.17KB. and also the stone object begins at x=0 and the tree is at x=400, so at that interval the mp3 file should be in the memory at the time the stone hit the tree…
