Major Problem with Stop BG music Button, Please help.

I have a great understanding of how to do this( insert a Stop on the first frame of the Sound Movie) ,

but, How can I do do this If I want the Background Music to Play soon as the Movie starts?



I am currently using flash 4

Use the tell target action to trigger the sound.swf . Name the 2 keyframe in the sound.swf with a framelable player .

Add this to the last or whatever keyframe in the main movie :


Tell target , _level20 , goto and play . frame lable player .

Level20 is the level you loaded the sound.swf .

I though the tell target action only works by a user's actions. will this play automatically when the movie loads?

Tell targets can be used in different ways . If you have the tell target action in the keyframe you want it to play from it will play .

I kinder get what I am trying to do, but I am just a little confused.

ummm, I think I got it!!!!! very very very interesting....

Thanks a bunch for the help, You the man....

dag, nope, I didnt get it.... ahhhhhh!!!!

this is what I did.....

I created the bg Music in a saparate swf...

I load/unload this swf in the first frame of the main movie and name it _level11

In another frame, I Inserted a key fram, and gave it the actions,

Begin Tell Target ("_level11")
Play
End Tell Target

I even tried, go to and play... What I am doing Wrong?

Note the sound will play, Only if I remove the stop action from the bgmusic swf...

ahhh, frustrating.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hoooo rayyyyy I got it now. thank god... I really got it this time :)

I was making it harder than it was......

You had explained it very simple in another person help on this board....... Now I got it.

Now is there a volume control tutorial for flash 4?

Glad you worked it out , soundcontrols are not available in 4 .
