RE: FLASH: loading code & sound off...

[Paul Willoughby]

Here's a tip i picked up via www.turtleshell.com (there's a tutorial there

on switching on and off soundloops). Put all your sounds in their own

movieclips. Have 2 keyframes in each clip with stop actions on both. In

frame 1 put your sound with sync set to 'Event' and set the number of loops

to some ridiculous number like 9999 (quick statistical interlude...with a 2

second sound set to loop 9999 times your user would have to listen for about

5 and a half hours before it would stop). In frame 2 have the same sound

with sync set to 'Stop'. When you want the sound on, target the first frame

of the clip. When you want it to stop, target the second frame.


There's loads of resources and tutorials out there for preloaders. Try the

Macromedia site, www.flashkit.com, www.moock.org etc etc.

I've been trying to iron some things out.

1. As you will notice, there is a looped song when you first start. There is


an option at the bottom called "NEXT SAMPLE". This will take you to the next


looped song, however, the first one (which is set to loop 10 times still 

plays over the next. How do you get the loop to stop playing when you go to 

the next one???

2. I haven't figured out a good LOADING code for this. It loads the page and


graphics, but not the bigger things like ths sounds. I need EVERYTHING to be


loaded before it begins.

Any suggestions for either or both of my queries???
