I got a sound to work in my actionscript for a flash movie. But when i put the loop in that frame it doesnt work, where do i want to put the onSoundComplete loop in the flash? And I want to know if there is a way to make the onSoundComplete loop only loop 1 sound, rather then looping all the sounds in the scene. ---

```php mySound = new Sound(); mySound.loadSound("music.mp3",true); kirupaSound.start(0, 99); } ``` that shud do it whack that on like onclick or onload etc wherever u want it thats dynamic loaded btw -Tom ---

nope, that doesnt work because i want the sound to be an infinite loop. if the sound is like 2 seconds long i wanna have it looping on an infinit track, I cant figure out how to do this because if i put the onSoundComplete loop thing in the frame where i put the sound it doesnt work. I want the sound to continue looping throught the whole movie, not just at the end frame, how do i do this for a short sound? there is no tutorial on how to do this anywhere on kirupa, so i cant figure it out. is there a symbol for infinit that i can put into the (0,99) thing to replace 99 with infinit? ---

the 99 doesnt mean it only places 99 it is infinate and loops generally sound like they are infinate anyway u shudnt be able to tell it apart ---

{ Mysound = new Sound(this); Mysound.attachSound(“coolsound”); Mysound.start(); Mysound.onSoundComplete=function(){ this.start(); } That is what i have in my actionscript on frame 10, it doesnt work, when it gets to frame 10 nothing starts playing. Why? ---

oh! and another thing that usually happens… make sure you have the id name in the linkage properties of the sound 😉 =) ---

on a side note, do u need the ;'s in the actionscript at all? because without them there is no difference i find. ---

in actionscript [size=1]i think javascript too[/size] you only really need them if you have more than one statement per line. but it’s a good coding structure. 😉 ---

Javascript is a bit more picky with it the semi-colons than Actionscript is, and PHP is strict as the d\*\*ickens with it. In AS you don’t need them, but its good coding practice as kax said.
