In one of my games, I have the music loaded externally in order to keep file size down so that it will load faster. My computer is really fast and I never noticed a problem with the music until I went onto a computer with slow internet. The game would start playing and then about a minute later, the music would play. This wouldn't be so bad, but in my game, every time you die, the music has a "stop" command. With the slow internet, if you die before the music starts, then the music never stops, and if you start playing again, it starts a second song on top of the first one.
I was wondering if loading the music internally would make the game load 100% before even starting, which would prevent this from happening.
Just in case there are any porblems, here is my current music code:
//Music Variables var bqsong:URLRequest = new URLRequest("bqsong.mp3" var sound:Sound = new Sound(); var controller:SoundChannel;
function soundLoaded(event:Event):void { controller = sound.play(0,5);//Loops 5 times controller.stop();//Stops the music } sound.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, soundLoaded); sound.load(bqsong);
The bqsong.mp3 is uploaded on the same server that has the game, which is another problem I might have if I tried to upload it here.
