A hundred thousand Ozzy's in AS3

I am making a Flash game with a bird as the avatar. And when the bird picks up an Iron Bird pickup, the song Iron Man is played. But the problem is: It keeps making new instances of this audio. So I have like a hundred thousand Ozzy's singing the song. But they have a delay of a second between each other. Is there a certain function to play the song only one time? Or a small script to get this done?

This is my script:

var IronManMusic:Sound = new IronManSong();
var IronManChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();

var backgroundMusic:Sound = new Backgroun开发者_如何学运维dMusic(); 
var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
myChannel = backgroundMusic.play();

 if(ironbird==true){
  laatstejump = 9;
  myChannel.stop();
  IronManChannel = IronManMusic.play();
 }

The ironbird boolean is found in a Updatescreen function. I think this is the problem but I am not sure. Help is really appreciated! :)

Hm... looks like it should be:

if(ironbird==true) {
  [...]
  ironbird = false;
}

Or at least the Updatescreen function you mentioned should set ironbird back to false after one tick/iteration.

EDIT: Looking at the code you posted as an answer, it's even easier:

You're doing

if(birdie.hitTestPoint(ironbirdpickup.x,ironbirdpickup.y,true)){
    ironbird = true;
    ironbirdpickup = Null;
}

if(ironbird==true){
    laatstejump = 9;
    myChannel.stop();
    IronManChannel = IronManMusic.play();
}

and use the ironbird variable for animation and other things. Moving the sound trigger should only trigger the sound once (or as often as hitTestPoint is triggered).

if(birdie.hitTestPoint(ironbirdpickup.x,ironbirdpickup.y,true)){
    ironbird = true;
    ironbirdpickup = Null;
    myChannel.stop();
    IronManChannel = IronManMusic.play();
}

if(ironbird==true){
    laatstejump = 9;
}

You should still reset ironbird to false somewhere, f.e. when animation is done.

Dont know what you exactly mean with the audio and animation part, but here is my script.

I am a Dutch so some variables are strange. xD Just ask if you dont get it!
