Yeah… how do I go about doing this? I have some sound loops for a movie I’m making and instead of putting the sound on the timeline and changing it to “loop 100 times” isn’t there a way I can just make it loop forever until I put in a “stop all sounds” action?

I am new to sound as well but this is what I would try first.

Movie clips will loop continously (SP?). So if you put the sound in a movie clip and put the movie clip on the main timeline, the movie clip will repeat once it gets to the end. One thing to note is that you need to add enough frames to the movie clip allow the entire sound clip to play.

Hope this helps, and I am sure that somebody else will know of better way.  
Good Luck  
Matt

Yeah I tried that… for some reason the movie clip doesn’t repeat ☹
