i have a loop that i want to load dynamically so it doesn’t make my site’s load time huge and i want it to play. i only want a stop and a play button and a volume slider which I know how to make … but i can’t get the music to load and play the way i want
sometimes the music starts … sometimes it doesn’t. i just sorta figured out how to do it on my own but i’m sure there’s a tried and true way since many of you have music that loads from external files on your sites _cough_ electrongeek _cough_
anyway … any help is greatly appreciated
thanks

Use the Sound() object found in Flash MX…
Look up all the facts about the Sound() object and you should find a whole bunch of things to use… But remember… When loading music in dynamically… To test to see if it’s fully loaded first or not…
mymusic = new Sound();
mymusic.loadSound(“[http://www.somesite.com/music.mp3](http://www.somesite.com/music.mp3)”, FALSE);
That will make a new sound object and load it up. Then you’ll just need a looping subtype.
[AS]
if(mymusic.duration = mymusic.position)
{
mymusic.start(0, 1);
}
[/AS]
That way… It’ll keep looping 😉
Hope this helps you out some.

ok thanks i’ll try to get this working 🙂
but shouldn’t the code read
if(mymusic.duration == mymusic.position)
{
mymusic.start(0, 1);
}
since == checks for equality
??

Yeah… Sorry about that… Forgot to place in the extra = sign. I do that sometimes when I’m typing too fast 😛

alright so i have the sound loaded and playing … btw thx jubba that’s a great tutorial.
but i can’t figure out how to load it dynamically and loop it simultaneously … that doesn’t seem to be in the tutorial
here’s the script i have currently:
```php
myMusic = new Sound(myMusicMc);
myMusic.loadSound("sounds/7.mp3", true);
```
