Flash Question: Playing Music

[-ism]

Hey friends,

 

I'm coding a game for school and I'm nearly done with it, I just need to figure out how to loop a sound track. I don't know flash really well at all (this is my first project with it since freshman year) and I've been following a tutorial to code my game but it makes no mention of sound. 

 

So, that being said, can someone help me out here? I just want an mp3 file to loop over and over. I'm using Flash CS6 and Action Script 3.0. 

 

Thanks!

According to the documentation you can just add a number (how many times it should loop) within the play() method.

play(startTime:Number = 0, loops:int = 0, sndTransform:flash.media:SoundTransform = null):SoundChannel

Now i havent touched AS in a long long time but i guess you can do something like this

var s:Sound = new Sound();s.load(new URLRequest("file.mp3")); s.play(0, 9999);

Thanks for the reply!

 

How do I tell flash where my file is? I changed "file.mp3" to "depth.mp3" (the song I want to play, of course) and when I export the movie the game runs just fine, but no sound.

First make sure you have the packages you need imported (in the top of the file somewhere)

import flash.media.Sound;import flash.net.URLRequest;

then the depth.mp3 file should be located in the same directory as your swf file
