Re: sound streaming

[Audiohost]

Jim:


I didn't catch your earlier posting, but this one sounds like a slight

confusion about streaming and looping. (Let me know if I'm talking old snow

here, since I haven't tried these yet in Flash 3...)


Anyway - in "Streaming" mode the sound stops whenever the movie stops or

when you insert an empty keyframe in the same layer as the sound. Logically,

a streaming sound *never* plays across a border between scenes. It doesn't

make a lot of sense to loop a streaming sound, because you don't save any

streaming load by doing this, so you might as well play some real music...


On the other hand: Sounds that are implemented as "Event" play independently

of the animation, and they can save a lot of load by being looped. There are

two ways to stop them: 1. With a frame action "Stop all sounds"; 2. with the

sound properties dialog. To go the second way, you'd have to insert the same

sound into any layer at the point where you want to stop it. In the sound

properties dialog you choose "Stop".


(Please, let me know if there are any important improvements to this in

Flash 3!)
