I've encountered a problem with looping a dynamically loading MP3 file. The
sound will not loop when it reaches the end as specified to loop 99 times in
the script:

bgSound = new Sound(this);
bgSound.loadSound("train_to_catch.mp3", true);
bgSound.start(0, 99);

I loaded the sound dynamically rather than using an event sound because of
load time. Is there a way to correct this? Thanks in advance for any help.

That's because 'true' make the sound STREAM , stream nature is to play as it buffers and dump
the audio once it's done , just like online video or any other streaming content... You can't loop unless load all over again.

Thanks urami_
Being a novice to actionscript, would any looping statements work to
load the sound again when the sound clip ends to load it again? Thanks for
the help.

you could just set it back to event , instead of TRUE write FALSE
But take note unlike Stream sound , Event must load entirely in order to play
but than it can be loop for as many times as you want.

You can use onSoundComplete to restart the streaming music when it
finishes...

s = new Sound();
s.loadSound("sound9.mp3",true);
s.onSoundComplete = function () {
s.loadSound("sound9.mp3",true);
}

You will get a short pause in the sound between each reload.
