I don't know if this has been documented or not. I've never seen anyone report it. If you set a Sound to loop, it's channel.position property returns a number out of range of the Sound.length after it loops. The position property just keeps on incrementing beyond the length when you loop a

If you are loosing reference to the stage you can just pass it as a parameter to the new object you are instatiating. You can also set it as a variable that all objects have access. Singleton could be a good idea. On Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 5:28 AM, Ali Drongo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi everyone,
