Can someone please tell me why this doesn’t work? I’m about to go crazy! It’s just supposed to be background music and it plays once then stops. WHY?

[AS]  
backsound = new Sound();  
backsound.loadSound(“sounds/loopy.mp3”, true);  
backsound.onSoundComplete = backsound.start;  
[/AS]

I have also tried backsound.start(0,999); but it doesn’t work either.
