Thanks by sharing your knowledge on this fade thing. I’m using your code with a couple of little modifications and it works wonderfully.

Comment on Looping Sound in Flex and AIR by avrs

it’s weird, I used SOUND_COMPLETE to loop my sound and the looping wasn’t seamless compared to AS2. I used your above example + SOUND_COMPLETE. Now the sound will loop 68 years, then it will execute the sound complete which will make it play again for 68 years (might have a slight noticable gap but still better than stopping).. and so on

var mySoundChannel = mySound1.play(0, int.MAX_VALUE); //play with maximum possible looping

mySoundChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, soundComplete); //add an event listener to check if sound has completed looping

function soundComplete(event){
trace(“Looping…”);
mySoundChannel = mySound1.play(0, int.MAX_VALUE); //play with maximum possible looping
mySoundChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, soundComplete); //add an event listener to check if sound has completed looping
}

C’mon Adobe fix that SOUND_COMPLETE glitch already or give us true looping.

Yea, they do stuff that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense sometimes.

Scratch that. Adobe, you’re killing me. The “usually” I mentioned above is not the case here. Apparently 0 == 1 to whoever designed Sound.play(), so you do have to use int.MAX_VALUE for a never ending repeat!

Usually a 0 (rather than int.MAX_VALUE) means “forever”, and since that’s the default parameter value for play() I’d imagine that’s the case here as usual. Still, I guess 65 years means the point is moot.

This is all true but if you are using Netbeans then you have to create “MyProject#photos.xml“ file in CATALINA_BASE not CATALINA_HOME. We use CATALINA_HOME only if CATALINA_BASE is not set.
Sorry 4 my english:)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’m a .Netter and have been pulling my hair out on this one. Nothing I could find in the docs and on the net until your article here. Much appreciated!
