But if I reset the bolean to false, if the visitor goes to replay that song, it will try to load the song again. I did find away around having to the use the boolean value though and accomplish the same thing (I am loving this). I am using:
this["Song"+SongNum].bytesTotal
If there are bytes, then the song is loaded OR loading. In order to check if the song is completely loaded before it plays, I am using this:
this["Song"+SongNum].bytesTotal == this["Song"+SongNum].bytesLoaded
This elimates the need for the Boolean I was using. Also instead of for each song defining:
pbSong1.source = Song1;
I am using the main function to do it for me:
this["pbSong"+SongNum].source = this["Song"+SongNum];
The reason why I asked about the Sound variable, I was currious if I could do the same with it as I did with the Progress Bar Source as shown above? Instead of defining this first:
var Song1:Sound = new Sound();
Can I do this in the function:
var this["Song"+SongNum]:Sound = new Sound();
I tried it once but I got an error.
