pls, i need some help: in flash 5, u can set loop for a sound for whatever value u want; but in MX, how do u do this?  
e.g. wanna put a music background with two buttons - play & stop - that worked fine, but the mp3 it’s over and doesn’t do any loop!  
so, pls help!

p.s. didn’t find any other thread about.

select the first frame in which the sound starts on, open up the properties inspector panel and look on the right for “loop”. Type in how many times you want it to loop for.
