hi all, I am having major troubles, i’ve never worked directly with sound in flash b4, and i can’t work out how too make this code work:

function SAP() {  
sound.stop(“forgottenme”);  
gotoAndPlay(“9”, “1”);  
}

mysound = new Sound();  
mysound.attachSound(“forgottenme”);  
mysound.start();  
mysound.onSoundComplete = SAP;

I just want to synchronize a sound, “forgottenme”, using onSoundComplete to go to scene 9, 1st frame. Can someone please tell me why this isn’t working… maybe it’s not “forgottenme”, thats the name i assigned it in the library, am i meant to put another name there?

And PLEASE DO NOT tell me it is in help, I have looked, and I cannot understand it… can someone please tell me why this is not working?!

Thanx all… :ear: listnin 4 a reply

actually, it is in the help section 🙂

btw use AS tags please!

```auto

mysound = new Sound();
mysound.start();
mysound.onSoundComplete = function () {
mysound.stop();
gotoAndPlay("9", "1");
};
mysound.attachSound("forgottenme");

```
