Sound files

[RJ]

couple of quest.

1. everytime when you add an instance of a sound file, does it
increase the size of movie file?

2. Is it possible to stop the duration of a longer sound file when the
movie's timeline finishes? For eg. if the movie is only for 20 sec
and the sound file is for 30 sec, how do I stop the sound at 20sec?
(tried a stop action at 20sec).

thanks,

1.) Everytime when you add an instance of a sound file, does it
increase the size of movie file?
No, the file size only increase when you import the sound
file(initially)..using multiple instance of the sound file doesn't increase the
size.

2.) You can use "soundobject" to make the sound stop at whatever frame number
you wanted to...
there is a basic turorial about it at:

..this tutorial uses controls..it'll be up to you to apply some of the
actionscripts to your frames
