How do I add music to my flash cartoon?

I am new to Flash MX, and am currently making a cartoon. I need help adding music to my cartoon, as well as sound effects. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Also search the forums for additional examples, etc.

Thanks for the site, but (correct me if I’m wrong), the part for loading music deals with buttons for playing and stopping. I just need to know how to load an mp3 throughout my entire cartoon. (It’s used as background music for my cartoon). Thanks

Well he does explain how to do what you need but it is a big article so I can see where the confusion might have set in.

Your best bet is to externally load the mp3. You have the choice to either stream or make the user download it before playing.


mySound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound.("http://urltomp3.com/yourSound.mp3", true); //true is to stream, make this value false if you want

Hope that helps :slight_smile:
