Question : creating simple music loop in flash.

I have a mp3 music loop from flashkit.

How can I autoplay this single mp3 as a background music loop for a website?

As with any autoplay scenario, we need a stop button.

Thats it .. pretty basic. I found a lot of 2004/mx tutorials but nothing that seemed to really do what I needed... hopefully I have better luck here.

Answer : creating simple music loop in flash.

Import MP3 File to stage. (File --> Import --> Import to stage)
Then it will come to your library. Cotrl+ L , you view it on your library. Drag and drop imported mp3 file to your stage. Then it will show in your timeline. Then click on time line and view bottom properties window.
Repeat -> Loop.

Or can use action scripts.

In CS3
You can add a sound to a document using the library, or you can load a sound into a SWF file during runtime, using the loadSound method of the Sound object. For more information, see loadSound (Sound.loadSound method) in the ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference or Sound Class in the ActionScript 3.0 Language and Components Reference.

Import the sound into the library if it has not already been imported.
Select Insert > Timeline > Layer.
With the new sound layer selected, drag the sound from the Library panel onto the Stage. The sound is added to the current layer.
You can place multiple sounds on one layer or on layers containing other objects. However, it is recommended that each sound be placed on a separate layer. Each layer acts as a separate sound channel. The sounds on all layers are combined when you play the SWF file.

In the Timeline, select the first frame that contains the sound file.
Select Window > Properties > Properties, and click the arrow in the lower-right corner to expand the Property inspector.
In the Property inspector, select the sound file from the Sound pop-up menu.
Select an effect option from the Effects pop-up menu: None Applies no effects to the sound file. Select this option to remove previously applied effects.
 
Left Channel/Right Channel Plays sound in the left or right channel only.
 
Fade Left To Right/Fade Right To Left Shifts the sound from one channel to the other.
 
Fade In Gradually increases the volume of a sound over its duration.
 
Fade Out Gradually decreases the volume of a sound over its duration.
 
Custom Lets you create custom in and out points of sound using the Edit Envelope.
 

Select a synchronization option from the Sync pop-up menu:
Note: If you are placing the sound on a frame other than Frame 1 in the main Timeline, select the Stop option.
Event Synchronizes the sound to the occurrence of an event. An event sound, such as a sound that plays when a user clicks a button, plays when its starting keyframe first appears and plays in its entirety, independently of the Timeline, even if the SWF file stops playing. Event sounds are mixed when you play your published SWF file. If an event sound is playing and the sound is instantiated again (for example, by the user clicking the button again), the first instance of the sound continues to play and another instance begins to play simultaneously.


Start The same as Event, except that if the sound is already playing, no new instance of the sound plays.


Stop Silences the specified sound.


Stream Synchronizes the sound for playing on a website. Flash forces animation to keep pace with stream sounds. If Flash cant draw animation frames quickly enough, it skips frames. Unlike event sounds, stream sounds stop if the SWF file stops playing. Also, a stream sound can never play longer than the length of the frames it occupies. Stream sounds are mixed when you publish your SWF file.
An example of a stream sound is the voice of a character in an animation that plays in multiple frames.

Note: If you use an mp3 sound as a stream sound, you must recompress the sound for export. You can export the sound as an mp3 file, with the same compression settings that it had on import.


Enter a value for Repeat to specify the number of times the sound should loop, or select Loop to repeat the sound continuously.
For continuous play, enter a number large enough to play the sound for an extended duration. For example, to loop a 15-second sound for 15 minutes, enter 60. Looping stream sounds is not recommended. If a stream sound is set to loop, frames are added to the file and the file size is increased by the number of times the sound is looped.

To test the sound, drag the playhead over the frames containing the sound or use commands in the Controller or the Control menu.
