When you instantiate the object sound, are you passing a movieclip that possibly disappears at some point? sound:Sound = new Sound(someClipThatGoesAway_mc);
I don't actually know right now if that clip disappeared if the sound would stop (the link between Sound objects and MovieClips can be a little counter-intuitive), but it would be one place to look. -jonathan On Thu, Apr 10, 2008 at 11:38 AM, Andrew Sinning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm using AS2. > > In my movie, I have some external mp3 files that will start streaming and > then just stop playing.
