Dear Chorrillanop23,I am not sure I comprehend the delay you are speaking of. I have used this to like words to make phrases with no noticiable delay on iOS devices. I would recommend that you create multiple channels if you need to have more than one sound clip running at the same time. Just add var channel1:SoundChannel;var channel2:SoundChannel;var channel3:SoundChannel;channel1.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onPlaybackComplete1);channel2.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onPlaybackComplete2);channel3.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onPlaybackComplete3);// Now just add the 3 functions.Please help me understand better the delay you are speaking of. Could you create a small sample fla file that demonstrates this issue?Grace & Peace!jim

I would recommend that you do something like this:

// create a SoundChannel variable

var channel:SoundChannel;

// in the library set the AS linkage for your mp3 file to myMP3sound (or change this to match yours)

var myMP3sound:Sound = new WhatSayHorse_mp3();

// play the sound using a call like this:

channel = myMP3sound.play();

// add an event listener to call a function when the sound has completed

channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onPlaybackComplete);

// Add the fuction and put whatever code in it that you need.

function onPlaybackComplete(evt:Event):void {

// add the code here that you want executed on sound finished playing.

}
