Total Newb, adding sound with Action Script

That is true, so... channel.stop(); will force the sound to end.

Thanks kglad for pointing that out.

don't use an enterframe loop to call a function once.

if you created a soundchannel instance (and, if you didn't you should now) when you applied the play() method to your sound instance, you can apply a stop() to the soundchannel instance to stop your sound when the last frame is played.

If you're using my suggested code, on your last frame you can call the stopMusic() method. something like:

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,stopMusic);

Hey guys thanks very much....and sorry but not sure what to do or where to put that much code......but Kglad, I did what you suggested ( I think) and added the onload code in the Actions panel....and now I have so that when the movie starts, the music starts...(which is great, half the battle)

But now when I get to the last frame, and click the next button (which goes back to the first frame) the music keeps going...and then starts over, so the one file is running twice...

How do I get it so that it stops playing and starts over when I click the next button on the last slide Sounds kind of funny the same music playing twice at the same time.

Thanks a lot!

check the sound class for sample code on loading your sound and playing it.
