making a music loop

[k_os]

// music setup
var snd_music:Sound = new Sound();
snd_music.load( new URLRequest( "media/music.mp3" ) );

var sc_music:SoundChannel = snd_music.play();
sc_music.addEventListener( Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onSoundComplete_music, false, 0, true );

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function onSoundComplete_music( event:Event ):void 
{
    trace( "onSoundComplete_music()------------" );
    trace( "  event: " + event );
    snd_music.play();
}

this works but only plays the music twice. if i tried this function:

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function onSoundComplete_music( event:Event ):void 
{
    trace( "onSoundComplete_music()------------" );
    trace( "  event: " + event );
    event.target = snd_music.play();
}

it says something about event.target being read only.

how do i make a music track infinitely loop?

so i did this:

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function onSoundComplete_music( event:Event ):void 
{
    trace( "onSoundComplete_music()------------" );
//  trace( "  event: " + event );
//  trace( "  target: " + event.target );
    
    sc_music = snd_music.play();
    sc_music.addEventListener( Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onSoundComplete_music, false, 0, true );
}

and it loops, but isn't this creating like a big infinite recursion loop? what if i wanted to setup mutliple channels and loop each, but only wanted one function to do it? seems kinda weird, that I can't do that.

i've searched google for an hour trying to find the answer to this and no one seems to have it. seems kinda weird that nobody's tried to loop a sound until now.

try this:

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function onSoundComplete_music( event:Event ):void
{
trace( "onSoundComplete_music()------------" );
// trace( " event: " + event );
// trace( " target: " + event.target );

sc_music = Sound(event.target).play();
sc_music.addEventListener( Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onSoundComplete_music, false, 0, true );
}
