Hi,

Does anyone know the code to loop an externally loaded sound? The loop is about 5 seconds but I would like to loop it 30 times making it much longer.

Here is my code to load it.

on (press) {  
stopAllSounds();  
}  
on (release) {  
mySound = new Sound();  
mySound.loadSound(“music/ambient.mp3”, true);  
}

Thanks.

mySound.start(0, 30);

(first make sure it has loaded!!!)

Not to come off rude to you, but yes I know that code, I tried it and it gave me a script error.

ok now the error is gone but the soun doesn’t loop.

Here is the code now.

on (press) {  
stopAllSounds();  
}  
on (release) {  
mySound = new Sound();  
mySound.loadSound(“music/rock.mp3”, true);  
mySound.start(0, 30);  
}

```

well alas no luck. ☹

Here is the code:

on (press) {  
stopAllSounds();  
}  
on (release) {  
mySound = new Sound();  
mySound.loadSound(“music/techno\_dance.mp3”, true);  
mySound.onSoundComplete = mySound.start;  
}

The code seems to be fine… attach your FLA so I can see what’s wrong. 😉

well thanks for the fla update Kode but yet it still doesn’t loop the sound.

Define Loop: The Sound loop (5 seconds) playing over and over by a specifed number.

Is that what you did and I am missing something or?
