RE: FLASH: Looping sounds

[Eric Dunham]

Well...I might just be taking a shot in the dark here...

But what if you had the sound setup in a do...until loop and then had the

click event kill the loop,

and then have the next statement after the loop be a "fading" version of

that sound (?)

Maybe some pseudocode would help: (I don't do much programming in Flash yet,

so you'll have to excuse my syntax)

//

Do

	Play(Sound)

Until KillSound = True

Play(FadeSound)

//

Then you could easily have the button set the KillSound variable to true.

I know that all loops (especially potentially infinite ones) are processor

intensive,

and I don't know if you could access the javascript setTimeout() function,

but it would be a lot better if you could.

Again, I don't really know if this is possible with Flash, but it seems to

me like you would be able to have a function/FSCommand that would be able to

control the sound and then also be able to kill it. Like you could have a

simple function like.

if(!killsound)

{

	mysound.play();

	setTimeout("mysound",X);

	//X is the length of your sound clip in milliseconds

}

else if(killsound)

{

	myfadingsound.play();

}

The logic is good (or maybe I'm just too tired to see it), but I just don't

know if it can be done in Flash.

Hope that helps,

Eric Dunham

Not possible....


You need to have a constant loop... then use a "masking sound" like a bang

or something to hide the skip of when you start your loop again as a single

instance (which you can fade out)
