I’m having a problem with a movie. To simplify things there’s a main movie and there’s a movie loaded into an empty movieclip on main.

The loaded clip has a sound loaded into a sound object:  
\_root.mySound = new Sound();  
\_root.mySound.attachSound(“clip1”);  
\_root.mySound.start;

The problem is when I call the onSoundCompleted method. Looks like this:

\_root.mySound.onSoundComplete = function(){  
if(\_root.chkAutoPlay.getValue == true){  
\_root.twoSeconds.play();  
}  
}

It checks the value of a checkbox on the main movie. If the checkbox is checked then \_root.twoSeconds is played (which loads another sound clip after a 2 second pause). My problem is that regardless of the checkboxs value the onSoundCompleted method is called on.

Am I getting the checked value of my checkbox correctly? Is there another value that I should be taking?

there’s a little mistake in your script…

```auto
_root.mySound.onSoundComplete = function(){
if(_root.chkAutoPlay.getValue() == true){
_root.twoSeconds.play();
}
}

```
