Examples

View live exampleThis example uses the loop property and the src property to change the number of times a background sound loops.

<SCRIPT>
function loopOnce() {
    oBGSound.loop = 1;
    oBGSound.src = oBGSound.src; // reload sound
}
function loopContinuously() {
    oBGSound.loop = -1;
    oBGSound.src = oBGSound.src; // reload sound
}
</SCRIPT>
:
<BGSOUND id="oBGSound" src="sound.wav">
<BUTTON onclick="loopOnce()">Loop Sound Once</BUTTON> 
<BUTTON onclick="loopContinuously()">Loop Sound Continuously</BUTTON>

To restart a sound or video clip after changing its loop property, set the src property or dynsrc property to itself. For example:

oBGSound.src = oBGSound.src
