hi,
i posted this earlier too,
i have a picture , a grave yard picture , i am trying to animate differnt parts of it i have animated a bell of the church, now i have an eerie sort of music, in whch a bell tolls from time to time, i have made a movie clip of the bell animation, also the music has been put in another movie clip.now i want the bell animation to work as soon as the bell tolls in the music.
i tried several thing but i won't tell u ( cause its emabarassing )anyway, can anyone guide me a liitle bit (well a lot actually i am not a very good programmer).how can i control the movie clip of bell animation to work in syncrohnization with the music.

thanx in advance

Sound's Sync should be set to "stream" and as many frames laid on the sound movie clip's timeline, so that your whole soundtrack's modulations can be "seen" and the whole sound heard. A "stream" sound only plays the frames present on the timeline, as opposed to an "event" sound, which will play even if only set on 1 frame.
You can then determine where your bell sound is happening on the timeline, and each it does, simply add a keyframe (on another actions only layer in this sound movie clip), with an actionscript to start up your bell animation.
