Mouse rollover and rollout sound events..

[ChrisEwen]

I'm trying to add sound to a flash banner. I want the sound to play and loop a sound when a mouse is over the banner and to stop once a mouse leaves the banner. I've tried to find the correct way to do this but haven't found any luck on the boards or in the tutorials. Any help that can be given would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I would suggest the timeline approach for sound interaction for cases where you may need backward compatibility for Flash 4.

create a simple mc with:

• stop action in frame 1
• sound in frame 2 set to event sync
• sound set to loop 999 times
• stop action in frame 3
• same sound in frame 4 set to stop sync

use tellTarget("target path to mc containing sound") and gotoAndPlay() to both stop and start sounds.

ex.

//on button
on(rollOver){
    tellTarget("/soundmc"){
         gotoAndPlay(2); // start sound
    }
}

//on button
on(rollOver){
    tellTarget("/soundmc"){
         gotoAndPlay(4); // stop sound
    }
}
