Hi,  
Is there any way to have a sound loop play only on one frame, and stop when the user goes to another frame, where another loop would start?  
To explain, I have a small presentation that consists of a home page and five ‘links’ navigated on the same timeline. each of these five frames contains video mcs, a home button and a next button. I am trying to put a different background music loop on each of these 5 pages.  
My problem is that the first page sound works fine, but as you go to the second, the first one still plays as well as the second…so the 5th has 5 overlapped ‘wall of crap’ sound…this happens regardless of whether you go to the page directly form the home page, or from a ‘next’ button…Anybody have a suggestion?  
Thanks.

what I would do with this, is load the music in each video mc’s  
themselves, instead of from the main timeline.

Just have it unload the previous sound first before loading the  
new one. make sense?

oh ok, np 🙂

basically, you’re gonna load each sound into a level. But first,  
you should probably read through this:
