stop a sound from looping

[cubicus]

Can someone tell me how to stop a sound from looping.
this is my script :



onEnterFrame = function () {
bus_mc._x += 20;

wave_sound = new Sound();
wave_sound.attachSound("bob");
};

if (bus_mc._x>=200) {
wave_sound.start(0, 1);

}

if (bus_mc._x>=850) {
bus_mc._x = 0;
getURL("http://www.cube.be", "_self");
}
};

well, what you have there is how to play a sound once (ie without looping):
wave_sound.start(0, 1);

The problem is that it's in an onEnterFrame handler - once your 'if'
condition is true, i would expect the sound to be started over and over
again, each time the enterframe handler is executed, and maybe this is why
it appears to be looping. You need to set a flag saying the sound has
already been started:

if (bus_mc._x>=200) {
if (!this.bSoundDone){
this.bSoundDone = true;
wave_sound.start(0, 1);
}
}
