Hi guys/girls:

I am making a projector and I have a loop to run in the background to play INDEPEDENT from the timeline of my main movie. How does this work? I will be putting some voices (external .sfw’s) that goes in sync with text that will be loaded but I want the background to stay playing.

Thanks a lot.  
I hope the answer will help others.

Sagit.

take your sound, stick it in the library, assign it the linkage name “sound” and stick the following in the first frame  
[AS]  
mySound = new Sound (this);  
mySound.attachSound(“sound”);  
mySound.start(0, 99);  
[/AS]

Thanks a lot, it does work when I put it in my main movie (content) that holds the rest of the swf’s. But when I do a “replay” it doesn’t really start from the beginning of the loop music but continues on like nothing happen. But it works just fine.

Thanks a lot guy.

yeah. if you want it to start over, change the code to this  
[AS]  
mySound = new Sound (this);  
mySound.attachSound(“sound”);  
mySound.stop();  
mySound.start(0, 99);  
}[/AS]

glad to help
