how do i tell when a sound is done?

[BCSA #13]

i recorded myself saying a word or two in khmer.. so that when users click on individual words or phrases (buttons) it plays the pronounciation of the word/phrase..

i also want to be able to put a button that will allow the user to hear the whole story to be read to him/her..

so i want to go through a loop and play all the sounds files in order right?.. and if i do so.. how do i know when the first file has finished in order to play the second and so on?..

i don't want to have to incorporate any more sound files..

thanks in advance..

not really

you could put each sound in an mc, set it to stream and then put an action on the frame at the end of the sound...

oh thanks.. i kinda get it now..

how about this one.. i have the sound inserted at the down portion of the button.. so that it plays the sound when u press down..

but here's the problem.. if the sound is not done yet.. and u press on another button.. another sound will play.. and both will overlap each other..

if i have the sound inserted as an MC.. will this solve the problem?.. cuz i can test to see if the MC is completed.. or do am i headed the wrong way?

thanks again..

nah better to put the sounds and buttons into an mc

to stop them overlapping put a stopAllSounds() action before you trigger any sound

cheers
