music loops

#1

Hi guys, I need some help on a problem, I have a tune that I want to play. I’ve got it playing from the start of the movie. I have a sound on and of switch which set a variable from 1 to 0
on the switch release.

Problem is when I enter a new scene the music gets switched on again. heres the switch code. I have a variable called “playing” which I use to store the value of 1 == play and 0 == stop.

I set this variable once at the start of my movie to 1 (i.e play)

on (release) {
if (Number(playing) == 0) {
stopAllSounds();
tellTarget ("/tune") {
gotoAndStop(“Stop”);
}
playing = 1;
} else {
tellTarget ("/tune") {
gotoAndStop(“Play”);
}
playing = 0;
}
}

Thanks for your help guys.

Hey I solved my own problem. It came down to using two movie files. One with my scenes in and one with the music. Then in the scenes movie I load the music file, thats the .swf in the first frame
and away we go.

Sorted.

Glad to hear that you figured it out. Another option would have been to use a global variable.

_global.playing = 0;
