This problem is really in MX, but I can’t see how it would be different for 5.
Basically, on my site I have some background music that loops and keeps playing until it is stopped by the user clicking an off button.
however, I also have a portfolio part to my site which opens up previous work in a new window.
Each piece of previous work has music, and will play previous work music. This is fine.
The problem is that a lot of the previous pieces of work has music which continues to play after the animation has stopped. If you press “Replay” before the music has stopped, you get a strange overlapping effect. To eliminate this I used the command
“stop all sounds” to ensure there is no overlap.
However, strangely this cause ALL sounds to stop, not just sounds within that animation (which I want). The background music to my site stops also because of this command.
This look so lame because the background music to my site is indicated as on, when infact the piece of work in the portfolio section caused it to stop.
Just to re-itterate the background music .swf is embedded into a totally different HTML document to which the portfolio pieces are.
How can I keep the background music to my site playing, without a “stop all sounds” command in a different animation turning it off?
if there is another way around my problem that is also fine. please let me know!
