Hey, I’m usig the following action to do sound:
**scene02**
[COLOR=royalblue]firstSound=new Sound();
firstSound.attachSound(“trance”); [/COLOR]
in the same scene I got this button:
[COLOR=royalblue]on (release) {\_root.firstSound.start()[/COLOR]
…very simple!
in **scene01** I’ve made a preloader:
[COLOR=royalblue]if(\_framesloaded == \_totalframes){
nextScene ();
play ();
}
else {
loaded = Math.round(getBytesLoaded()/1024);
total = Math.round(getBytesTotal()/1024);
percent = Math.round((loaded/total)\*100)+"%";
bytes = loaded+“kb loaded”;
}[/COLOR]
BUT this don’t work with sound!! WHY?.. it works with any other movie… ☹

Why do you have
nextScene();
play();
nextScene(); will move to the next scene, you don’t need play();.

perhaps, but the preloader works with any other movie! …how do I preload the sound!??

THX flex, but I still don’t quite get it!
All I wan’t is to make a sound loop (no problem) and have 2 buttons to control the sound (still no problem)… it’s a feature on many sites… just like this [http://www.jap-studio.com/japenter.htm](http://www.jap-studio.com/japenter.htm) with a simple percentage preloader!
anyone knows about a tutorial, or something!??
