How do I play a sound at a beginning of an animation?

Hey, I'm trying to have my game play a sound on a beginning of a certain animation. Is there a way to do to so?

Animation "Animation" is playing, Trigger event once = play sound

?

or

when you trigger the animation you can trigger also the play sound action at the same time (play once).

When I tried either approaches, the sound plays infinity till the animation is over.

Even with "Trigger once"?

When I did it with "Trigger once", it played the sound after the animation was over.

It may be an issue with the sound taking a second to load. Have you tried preloading the sound at the beginning of the layout?

Otherwise, can you post a screencap of your events perhaps?

The sound seems to play after the animation, regardless what I do.

Does your sound start with some extended silence (just check in a media player)?

Is the sound file very large or do you have a lot of them?

Is it in the Sounds or Music folder?

1. It doesn't start with extended silence.

2. It's only 192 KB, but I do have 14 sounds all together.

3. It's in the Sounds folder.

1. bummer - would be nice if it had a long silent part in the beginning

2. 14 sounds aren't that many - so here you should be fine

3. Is also the right place, but you could try to move it into the music folder (works a little bit different)

want to share your capx?
