hi i wnat to stream an audio loop, for one of my sites, i want it to just load right away as it plays, then when its done, to keep repeating, i tried just puting in all the frames for the whole loop, then just have the swf repeat, but it skips pretty bad, any ideas?

when the sound is on the timeline you set the number of times to loop in the properties palette. need to familiarize yourself with the interface a lil more eh? thats probably why you didnt get a reply sooner.

but anyway…

but i would load the sound in frame 2 using loadSound() and then i would check for when the sound stops playing to start it playing again.

oooh you mean i can loop the song by itslef on the properties pannel;??? (duh heheehehhehe) yeah i treid that… it just gets to the end of the song, ( this is on stream, mind you…) and it just restarts like the loop starts over but there is a crack, if i put a stop action on last frame, the stream stops…

you mean when u put a stop() action in your last main movie frame?  
well i think it has a crack b/c its restarting (not b/c of the stop action) and it has a little bit of blank song space at the beginning or end of the song.

yes thats why it skips, because the movie repeats, im saying when the sound is on event, i put a stop action on the last keyframe and the movie stops, and the song repeats, but not on stream
