Hi

I am trying to play an MP3 File in Flash Lite 2.1. The filename of the MP3 file is imported from an XML file.

Here is a copy and paste from the help file on how to do this:

// create a new Sound object
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
// If the sound loads, play it; if not, trace failure loading.
my_sound.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
my_sound.start();
status_txt.text = "Sound loaded";
} else {
status_txt.text = "Sound failed";
}
};
// Load the sound.
my_sound.loadSound("song1.mp3", true);

When I test this code on its own, it does work fine for me. However, I want the above to be executed inside a function that does a number of other things... and this is where I run into problems.

Here is a sample of what I'm trying to get working.

function myMusic() {

// create a new Sound object
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
// If the sound loads, play it; if not, trace failure loading.
my_sound.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
    if (success) {
    my_sound.start();
    status_txt.text = "Sound loaded";
    } else {
    status_txt.text = "Sound failed";
    }
}
// Load the sound.
my_sound.loadSound("MOO.MP3", true);
}

myMusic();

I think it's got to do with the fact that once I put it inside a function you are nesting functions (there is a function call from the onLoad event). Can anyone tell me how to make this work?

I tried changed the line:

my_sound.onLoad=function(success: Boolean) {

to

my_sound.onLoad=myFunctionName(parameters go here)

and then I created a funciton called myFunctionName but I wasn't sure how to send the sound object or what parameters the function should have or how to get the .start() method to work inside the new function.

Any ideas, would be greatly appreciated. I've been tearing my hair out on this one for two days! I don't look good bald!

Ellie.
