Hello Everyone,

I have a script on a button…  
When I rollOver, the sound starts.  
When I rollOut, the sound stops.

But what could I add to make the  
sound loop until I rollOut?

Here’s the script on my button…

* * *

on (rollOver) {  
myMusic = new Sound(this);  
myMusic.attachSound(“sound\_effect”);  
myMusic.start();  
}

on (rollOut) {  
myMusic.stop();  
}

* * *

Thanks!

</div>

add the **loop** parameter in this line:

```auto
myMusic.start(secondsoffset, loop);

```

something like

```auto
myMusic.start(0, 999);

```

would do 🙂

Works fine for the looping ! =)

But on rollout, it doesn’t stop… :x

Is this code ok ? I think so…

on (rollOut) {  
myMusic.stop();  
}

I also noticed that when I use  
actionScript to open a sound,  
It appears louder !.. What the ?!? 😠

and if you don’t want it that louder …

```auto
myMusic.setVolume(volume);

```

Hey Kax,

Attach my fla ?

I can attach the sound symbol from the library.  
But I can’t make it stop with this script :

on (rollOut) {  
myMusic.stop();  
}

Thanks for the volume script! :beam:

Hey Eudora, thanks for the tip! 😏  
This is logical and it should work…  
but it doesn’t :-\

The volume doesn’t work either. :sleep:

This is what I’ve got :

* * *

on (rollOver) {  
myMusic = new Sound(this);  
myMusic.attachSound(“sound\_effect”);  
myMusic.start(0, 999);  
myMusic.setVolume(50);  
}

on (rollOut) {  
myMusic.stop(“sound\_effect”);  
}

* * *

Man, I tell ya… :sigh: Everything seems to be  
in the right place.

Any clue ? I will make some more tests tonight. :hangover:

Thank you all !!!

```

</div>

It worked! :crazy:

I ajusted a couple of things…

- Deleted the audio in my “Over” button state (settled the volume problem); :sigh:
- Disabled the linkage “add in 1st frame” and added the sounds in blank frames (settled the long 1 frame downloading); 😛

Many Thanks !!! 🙂

I have on other bug that I can’t quite get an answer…

I’m loading a movie above an other one  
but the the buttons on the movie underneath  
are still active. Do you know how to disable them?  
:crazy:

Thanks!

**instance** can be a movie clip if you’re loading into target or a level 🙂

Hey Kax,

Wooooohooo ! =)

But I can’t quite seem to know how to add the script  
to my movie… :nerd:

I have a main movie (level0) that loads a movie on level 1.  
On my level 1, I have a button that loads a movie  
on level 2.

I want to disable only my buttons on level 1  
when the movie on level 2 has loaded and  
when I unload the movie on level 2, I want  
my buttons to be enabled again :crazy:

## Structure

Level\_0 (main movie)  
|  
Level\_1 (movie where my buttons are and should be disabled)  
|  
Level\_2 (when I unload this movie, I should enable  
my buttons on level\_1 again)

* * *

So I have to add the script where exactly ? ;(

Thanks a million !!! 🙂

</div>

you would have

```auto
_level1.enable(false);

```

in the first frame of the movie loaded at level 2

when you unload the movie just use

```auto
_level1.enable(true);

```

and your buttons will recover its functionality 🙂

</div>

## And …

## MovieClip.prototype.enable = function(action) { for (k in this) { this[k].enabled = action; } }

…would go on the button that calls the movie on level2… right?

## It would look like :

## on (release) { MovieClip.prototype.enable = function(action) { for (k in this) { this[k].enabled = action; } } }
