Hi,  
I’m playing an external sound in flash using AS3, everything loads and plays ok, but i want to go to another label on my timeline when the sound has stopped playing.

I have attempted to do this by using Event.SOUND\_COMPLETE but i have failed to make it work.

Please help, see my code below.

cheers,  
Bazz

import flash.events.Event  
import flash.events.MouseEvent;  
import flash.media.SoundChannel;

var isPlaying:Boolean = new Boolean();  
var pausePosition:Number = new Number();

var soundIntro:Sound = new Sound();

var sndChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();

soundIntro.load(new URLRequest(“audio/intro.mp3”));  
soundIntro.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete, false, 0, true);

function onComplete(evt:Event):void {  
//Play loaded sound

```
sndChannel = soundIntro.play();
isPlaying = true;

```

}

```
soundIntro.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE,soundCompleteHandler);

function soundCompleteHandler(event:Event):void {
    trace('soundCompleteHandler called');
    MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay('fr');
}
```
