Why don't you make the sound shorter you can edit the sound from within Flash

  Subject: FLASH: Is there a property of a sound that I can use to see if a sound is currently playing



  Hi there


  Is there a property I can use to detect if a certain sound is currently

  being played?


  Basically in my game when the "Pacman" eats a dot i play a sound using the

  following code:


  eat_pill.start();


  Now the length of the sound is longer than the time to take pacman to get

  from one dot to another - therefore before the sound has finished playing,

  he gets to another dot and the eat_pill.start(); is called again.


  Have a look and see!

  The result is not very good  Now, I don't want to edit the sound to make it

  shorter if possible.


  The ideal situation would be if I could go: (psuedo code)

  ////////////////////////////

  If (eat.pill.playing<>True){


  eat_pill.start();


  }

  ////////////////////////////


  Anyone have any suggestions?
