Question

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’m loading a sound like this:

var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
mySound.load(new URLRequest("audio/filename.mp3"));
mySoundChannel:SoundChannel = mySound.play();

Then I’m adding a listener and trying to call a function with the SOUND_COMPLETE event, like this:

mySoundChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE,audioComplete);
function audioComplete(Event:Event){
trace("done!");
}

However, I keep getting this error: “1046:Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:Event.”

Can anyone give me a hint as to what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks.

Thanks to those of you who responded. I ended up finding a better way to do this. If anyone runs into the same problem, here is what is working for me:

var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
var mySoundURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("myfile.mp3");
var mySoundChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
mySound.load(mySoundURL);
mySoundChannel = mySound.play();
mySoundChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, endMySound);

function endMySound(e:Event):void{
trace("sound is complete!");
}
