Hi,

My apologies for the code - I've found some preload, onload and onsoundcomplete script and welded it together in my garage with a blowtorch and hammer but it doesn't work -  I'ts just gobbledegook to me!

I'm trying to get movie2 to play when an external mp3 has loaded. When the mp3 has finished I then want to go back to playing movie1. This is the code that I've murdered: (it sort of works but there's a glytch with the sound as the movie2 starts to play and then if the sound has not fully loaded  movie2 continues to play but without sound). 

 

function loadSpeech()

{

var url:String = "character/english/nick_2_" + speechNumber + ".mp3";

// Create a new Sound object to play the sound.

var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();

//preload

function checkProgress(soundObj:Object):Void

{

var numBytesLoaded:Number = soundObj.getBytesLoaded();

var numBytesTotal:Number = soundObj.getBytesTotal();

var numPercentLoaded:Number = Math.floor(numBytesLoaded / numBytesTotal * 100);

if (!isNaN(numPercentLoaded))

{

trace(numPercentLoaded + "% loaded.");

}

}

 

my_sound.onLoad = function():Void 

{

trace("load complete");

clearInterval(poll);

};

//End of preload

 

 

my_sound.loadSound(url,true);

var poll:Number = setInterval(checkProgress, 100, my_sound);

my_sound.onLoad = function(success:Boolean)

{

if (success)

{

my_sound.start();

_level2.character.gotoAndPlay(characterAttitude);

_level2.character.timer.gotoAndPlay("active");

}

};
