background music

[thecrock]

I use flash pro 8.
Is there a way i can have a soundtrack playing in the background of my movie. I would like to control it, turn Off and On by a button on my first page. I have buttons that start music and video and I would like to stop the sound file when one of them is pushed but I'd like for the sound file to re-start after i have gone back to the home page,if it has been interupted.

Peace

Is that music track a soundObject, a timeline sound or a loaded in music external .swf?

Thanks for the interest oldnewnbie,

Whatever is easier, I will probably take an .mp3 sound file and save as a .swf. But if you know of the easiest way, would be great to hear.

if you make a seporate .swf file with the music on it, so its literally blank with the music playing when u view it...

give it a filename eg "music.swf"

on the first page of your website where you would like the music use the code

loadMovieNum("music.swf", 2);

the number 2 can be changed for a different level if you wish...

but basically this code will make your music play over the top of the other movie

on your buttons use the code

on(release){
unloadMovieNum(2);
}

this will make your music stop until you go back to that first page where the code will load the music back onto level 2
