Audio player script help

Question

I have constructed a mini audio player with the help of a
tutorial, action script 3 (code provided below) and flash cs3.
I'm fairly new to Flash and just am curious what I need to
add and what's missing...Q. I want this play/stop button to only
place the audio file once and then stop. Right now the audio file
just loops over and over until the stop button is clicked. Other
than this the produced swf works great... just don't want it to
loop. So, what am I missing in my script?

========================================

Answer 1

I'm fairly new to AS3 but I have some code that is working
for me.
I think you need to add an event listener to your startPlay
function:
function startPlay(event:MouseEvent):void {
playBtn.visible = false;
stopBtn.visible = true;
channel = sound.play(0,5);
channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE,
onPlaybackComplete, false, 0, true);
then add a function to call when the sound has played
completely:
private function onPlaybackComplete(evt:Event):void {
channel.stop();
channel.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE,
onPlaybackComplete);
I've not tested this specific combination of code, I just
pulled parts from some code I have that is working. But this should
work.
I am also a little uncomfortable with your object names. I'm
afraid the might be too close to a reserved word. I only say this
because that bit me last week when I was first working on this.
In any case, I hope this helps. :-)
