Hey guys… I am trying to get this mp3 to loop on my flash site, here is the code I am using
myMusic = new Sound();
myMusic.loadSound(“[http://www.calivirtualtours.com/elevator.mp3](http://www.calivirtualtours.com/elevator.mp3)”, true);
myMusic.start(0, 20);
I have it set to stream 20 times but it only runs once. Am I doing something wrong or what?? Please help!!
Here is another clip on my server it’s like 5 seconds… that won’t even loop. The code looks right.
myMusic = new Sound();
myMusic.loadSound(“[http://www.calivirtualtours.com/elevator.mp3](http://www.calivirtualtours.com/elevator.mp3)”, true);
myMusic.start(0, 20);
Thanks Swervin

you should import the sound to your library and use attach sound instead. i am not sure if the loop factor works with sound loaded via loadSound(). it works with attachSound() for sure.

Ok Guys… false alarm… I got it to finally work… Freaking action script… It’s a pain in the \*\*\*. I used this script… works like a charm now
loopSound = function () {
music.loadSound (“[http://www.calivirtualtours.com/elevator.mp3](http://www.calivirtualtours.com/elevator.mp3)”, true);
}
music = new Sound();
music.loadSound(“[http://www.calivirtualtours.com/elevator.mp3](http://www.calivirtualtours.com/elevator.mp3)”, true);
music.onSoundComplete = loopSound;
Late,

you cannot use the loop parameter when streaming sound.

hey Swervin,
your solution worked great for me as well. Just wanted to check one thing before i go live with this. Once .onSoundComplete is evoked, will the looped stream have to be buffered in again? i assume so, but my connection is too fast to be sure.
lemme know if u had probs with this.
cheers,
