loop sounds

[gheckman]

i have a soung loop that i want to "loop" in my movie.
this is my script:

mySound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("loops/music.mp3",true);

the problem is that it only plays once (5 seconds long) and then stops, how do i get it to loop? - short of placing it on the timeline.

you cannot loop a streaming sound like you would when attaching it.

search!!! this quesiton has been asked 200,000,000 times

Yes you can :sigh:



mySound.onSoundComplete = function(){
this.start();
}

but that's not how you would loop it when attaching it there buddy


mySound.start(0,999);


that will not work when streaming. you have to use the code you gave which is why i told him to search, to find that code:-\

You can't use start(offset,loops) for a streaming sound indeed. But that doesn't mean you can't loop it ...

o no definalty not, i agree 100%. a lot of times i see posts wondering why that syntax won't work though.

i def did not mean u couldn't do it.

[Voetsjoeba]

I know. I'm not angry with you :)

I think it's all about the offset in start(offset,loops). To have a sound play at a certain position, it must be fully loaded. Because the sound is streaming, it isn't fully loaded.

please forgive me if i sounded a bit testy, didnt mean anything by it.

your probably right when u say this;

i've been pondering for a while on this subject.

kenny bellew doesnt really say "why" you cant loop streaming sounds like that, but thats the best explanation i've heard so far :)

good night all
