email to my tutor

"hi Chris,

i've been playing around with some sound clips in flash, the basic setup is the same code as the photo-clock, but with sound clips attached to the changing images. the thing is i can only make each clip play once, or repeatedly. what i want is for the clip to play repeatedly until the value it's assigned to changes.

for instance i want a drum loop to play for 10 minutes, between 10- and 19- past the hour, then stop bang on 20-past. i'll see if i can come up with something in the meantime but if you happen to know how to make this happen then i'd appreciate the help.

see you on monday,
Beak"


... i came up with something :)

to stop a sound that is already playing, create a keyframe where you want it to stop, then on the properties panel (1.), find the sound dropdown and then select the name of the sound you want to stop (2.). next, in the 'sync' section select 'stop' (3.). done.


the only minor inconvenience this has created is that i've had to create another layer, so that i can have one sound start and another stop in the same frame.


s'all good though. onwards :)
