Thanks Muzak for your solution I think it will be the simplest to
implement I'll check out your class also Alan, I guess I could create
the array dynamically quite easily rather than having to hard-code
the values.
Thanks for your super-quick responses guys :)

similar to what you need.
it doesn't loop each mp3 files but, creates a song based on an
array of mp3 files .
You can modify it as you wish to fit your needs but the simplest
thing would be to just to repeat the filename in the array [file1,
file1, file1, file2, file3, ... ]

Hi there, thanks for checking my post. I am trying to create a
class that will play a number of mp3 loops each a specified number
of times and in the specified order. I have tried to find an
existing class but cant find one anywhere.
My solution (which may not be that efficient), is to create all of
the sound objects in the fla then load the mp3s into them. When
they are all loaded each sound object is added to a new object
that holds it as well as a 'loops' property that says how many
times the sound object must play. These objects are then put into
an array in the order they are to be heard. This array is passed
to my LoopSound class that controls the playback. I can also pass
a 'loopForever' property that will make the series repeat
indefinitely.
The problem I am having is re-triggering the play() function from
within my LoopSound Class to move onto the next sound in the
array. I am sure that there will be a much neater way of achieving
what I want, and maybe even a pre-written class!
Any direction / suggestions / encouragement much appreciated :)
Thanks!

//this code would create an instance of the class in the FLA
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("sounds/gas.mp3", false);
//once sound is loaded:
var my_ar:Array = new Array();
//create object to add to array
var myOb:Object = new Object();
myOb.sound = mySound;
//is to play 3 time
myOb.loops = 3;
my_ar.push(myOb);
var myLooper:LoopSound = new LoopSound(my_ar)
Here is the class:
//this class is designed to play a number of already loaded sound
objects sequentially, each sound object can be looped for a
specified number of times then the whole series can be repeated
infinitely. Th constructor is passed an array of objects that have
sound and loop properties that contain a sound object and the
number of times the sound object is to be looped.
class LoopSound {
private var sounds_ar:Array;
//sound playing currently
var currSound:Sound;
//which stage of the array we are currently up to
private var mp3Count:Number = 0;
//if this series of loops is meant to keep playing until they are
stopped
private var loopForever:Boolean;
//receives array that holds objects that have the key sound & loops
public function LoopSound(a:Array, lF:Boolean) {
trace("loopsound created:"+a);
mp3Count = 0;
sounds_ar = new Array();
sounds_ar = a;
loopForever = lF;
this.play();
}
private function play() {
trace("Loopsound started playing");
trace("mp3 count:"+this.mp3Count+":"+sounds_ar);
currSound = sounds_ar[mp3Count]["sound"];
//creating local vars for targetting from currSound complete
var mp3C:Number = mp3Count;
var snds_ar:Array = sounds_ar;
//calculate number of times mp3 is to loop
var currLoops:Number = sounds_ar[mp3Count]["loops"];
currSound.start(0,currLoops);
currSound.onSoundComplete = function() {
//if there are more sound objects to play iterate thru array
and retrigger play()
if (mp3Count<snds_ar.length) {
mp3Count++;
//this bit isn't working!
play();
} else {
if (loopForever) {
mp3Count = 0;
this.play();
} else {
//all sound objects have played and
play() is not retriggered
mp3Count = 0;
}
}
};
}
}
