sound event complete now play

[zorn01]

I need to find control between sounds and movies. I have not worked with sounds before and now I have to. I have been reading other posts but don't understand the functions. I have a movieclip place the sound inside it. I have my main scene1 animation. Now I need to place the sound on the first frame, stopping the animation until that sound clip is finished. Then continue the animation.

Please help me, I really need to understand this. I know it is hard to believe, but I have been using flash for over 2 years in some pretty complicated animations, but have never used sound! No beeps, plunks, or whistles, so I am humbled and hope you will have pity on me!

it seems much urgent. actually the simpliest way to do this to drag the loaded sound into frames directly and set it stream, then it will play if there are enough frames and stop if it reaches the very end frame.

hope this helps~

this code is for MX

//first frame
stop()
mySound = new Sound()
mySound.attachSound("koko")
mySound.start()
mySound.onSoundComplete = function(){
play()
}

I thought about it later and figured I should have said that I know how to add frames and then extend the movie to fit. But the truth is that the sound file is 205 frames, and I was trying to learn a smoother way to handle sounds. I would like to try to learn something new and increase my knowledge on better ways to do things. If I add frames to accomodate the sound my movie will be over 500 frames long and it just seemed like there might be a better way.

I sure do appreciate your quick response and help.

farafiro , this seems like the code I need. I put it on the first frame of my animation and replaced "koko" with the name of my soundclip movie "soundclip" but it did not play. So tried the original name of 21.wav for the name of the sound file, but it did not work either. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? Also I have to render this out as Flash5, but am using Flash MX.

zorn, this code would work only for MX
also, for the sound, koko, is the linkage name of the sound, u know how to do that, don't u??

[zorn01]

no I am not sure what the "linkage of the sound" is? If I use this code and render the movie out as Flash 5 it won't work? If it won'dt work as Flash 5 it won't do me any good, but I would still like to use the code you are offering, just to learn.

[farafiro]

it won't work for the onSoundComplete() function, also the linkage:
from the library, chose the sound, right click, likage, right a name


if for flash 5, I guess u should stick to sound frames in a mc
