Re: [flasher] Controlling Sound in a Loaded Movie

[Muzak]

You have to secify the level you want the sound object to *live in*

When using/creating a sound object in a different level movie, use 'this' as the target when creating the sound object


//Level1 movie

 s = new Sound(this);

 s.attachSound("mySound");


//start sound from main timeline within the level 1 movie

 on (release) {

 s.start();

 }


//start sound from level0 movie

 on (release) {

 _level1.s.start();

 }


HTH,
