ActionScript 3 Working with Sound Infinite looping a sound
Example
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.events.Event;
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("filename.mp3");
var snd:Sound = new Sound(req);
snd.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(e: Event)
{
snd.play(0, int.MAX_VALUE); // There is no way to put "infinite"
}
You also don't need to wait for sound to load before calling play() function.
So this will do the same job:
snd = new Sound(new URLRequest("filename.mp3"));
snd.play(0, int.MAX_VALUE);
And if you really want to loop sound inifinite time for some reason (int.MAX_VALUE will loop 1s sound for about 68 years, not counting the pause an mp3 causes...) you can write something like this:
var st:SoundChannel = snd.play();
st.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, repeat);
function repeat(e:Event) {
st.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, repeat);
(st = snd.play()).addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, repeat);
}
play() function returns new instance of SoundChannel object each time it's called. We assgin it to variable and listen for its SOUND_COMPLETE event. In the event callback, listener is removed from current SoundChannel object and new one is created for new SoundChannel object.
