Question on Sound and URLs

[dipita]

Hi,
I'm just learning actionscripting so please bear with me. I have 2 questions - (1) Sound: I am adding sound to a intro flash for a website. I have 5 scenes in the movie. I've attached the sound to the first frame of the first scene. It works fine but the problem is that it doesn't stop when all the scenes are finished (could be what I'm doing at the end (I just say stop(); and getURL("xxx") Is there a certain better way of putting background sound that is advisable?
(2) URL: what's the best way to forward to a URL at the end of your flash - I've put getURL("xxx"); - it tries to open the html page but it still seems to have the last scene of the flash. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

So that you can overlap music over several scenes, you should use a soundObject...

Or use an external sound only .swf loaded on another level of your main movie...

As for linking, and replacing your Flash movie in the same window...

getURL("

http://www.google.com/",

"_self");

Thanks. I tried the getURL("

http://xxx.com",

"_self") but it still opens a new window to bring up the html page and the flash is blank, music is till running. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
