Dear all,

I am trying to find a workaround to the problem of looping mp3 files, basically the silence in the transition (from end to start). I could use wav files but I need to load the file externally, which makes not possible to use wav. So I did this

```auto
var channel:SoundChannel = myMp3.play();
channel. addEventListener (Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onComplete); 

function onComplete(event:Event){
	channel = assets.sounds.piston.play();
}

```

Then after some time a use this code to stop and remove the listener:

```auto
channel.stop();
channel.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onPlaybackComplete);

```

However the problem is still there

Edit: Now I know it is not a problem of flash, it is problem of the mp3 format itself. Any way, is there a workaround?

Thanks in advance
