sound duration

[jefargrafx]

hey guys,

I'm trying to use the sound property duration and position to change the background image of a MC.

when the sound is 25% done playing I want to tell another clip on the _root to gotoAndPlay frmae (2);

here's what I've tried

sound.onEnterFrame = function () {
if (sound.duration/4 == sound.position) {
_root.background_MC.nextFrame();
}
}

but it jsut sit there?

can do do this using onSoundComplete, but I want to change 4 time during the play back?

anyhelp?

Try this... It's not exactly 25% but close enough!

mysound = new Sound(this);
mysound.loadSound("your.mp3");
mystart = 0;
mystep = Math.floor((mysound.duration/1000)/4);
mysound.start();

position_mc.onEnterFrame = function () {
if (Math.floor(mysound.position/1000) == (mystart+mystep)) {
    _root.background_MC.nextFrame();
    mystart +=mystep;
    }
    mysound.onSoundComplete = function() {
    if(mysound.position/1000 == (mysound.duration/1000)){
	delete this.onEnterFrame;
    }
    };
};

It uses a position_mc control movie clip off stage. Don't think it works when trying to assign it the sound object itself.

nope...I did get it to work with the sound object duration and position.

useing a simalar onEnterFane event.

wasn't easy, or pretty, but it works,

thanks for the advice
