Sound Delay

programming flash

I am incorporating a background music loop to a site im working on but the music delays about 30 seconds before it begins to play. It’s an external movie clip which I even load in the very first (techically third because of the preloader script) keyframe and then unload just so the computer can have it ready to go.

~ First of all: is this delay happening on all of your guys computers or just my messed up one…

~ Secondly, how do I get it to come in exactly when the final layout is opened?

See it here:

Just for clarification: not the original sound but the music that plays with the equalizer at the end.

Thanks guys

just make the movie load with the sound with a stop action on the frist frame then when the site gets to the last frame put actions which tells teh movie clip to go to and play frame 2 in order to ahve it loop just put a gotoandplay frame 2 action in the last frame should solve your problem

why are you unloading t??? maybe thats your problem

Thanks for the idea. I’ll give it a try. Sounds like it’ll solve it.

~ Unloading? Because the external movie clip contains an equalizer and I dont want the equalizer seen until the end.

I had the music playing immediately. It might be because you’re not streaming your music. Meaning that it will download the whole loop and then start playing instead of streaming, which plays while downloading. I suppose you use the sound object ? yoursound.loadSound(“loop.mp3”,false) is not streaming, yoursound.loadSound(“loop.mp3”,true) is streaming :slight_smile:
