audio player script help

I'm fairly new to AS3 but I have some code that is working for me.

I think you need to add an event listener to your startPlay function:

function startPlay(event:MouseEvent):void {
playBtn.visible = false;
stopBtn.visible = true;
channel = sound.play(0,5);
channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onPlaybackComplete, false, 0, true);
}

then add a function to call when the sound has played completely:

private function onPlaybackComplete(evt:Event):void {
channel.stop();
channel.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onPlaybackComplete);
}


I've not tested this specific combination of code, I just pulled parts from some code I have that is working. But this should work.

I am also a little uncomfortable with your object names. I'm afraid the might be too close to a reserved word. I only say this because that bit me last week when I was first working on this.

In any case, I hope this helps. :-)
