so you have music right? I would recomend ogg cuz i think its the smallest size. What you do is just something like this
Start of Fram -> play sample "name of song" 0 times
The 0 makes it loop

In the application properties, in MMF2, under runtime, you'd have to check the box for "play sounds over frames" so that when you jump to a different frame, the music will continue to play.
Also remember that there are two different options, one for looping and one for not looping. You can put 0 to make it loop indefinitely.
Formats are .AIFF, .wav, .ogg, .mod, .it, and .midi

alright. So what you first need to do is open up the application properties on MMF or TGF or whatever your using. Then go to the runtime options and scroll until you see a check box that says play sounds over frames. Make sure that its checked. Then on the first frame of your game go to The event editor and do the condition Start of Frame. Then go to the boxes next to it and right click on the box under the speaker image. Then go over to music or sample depending on what type of file the music is and go over to play and loop music/sample. Then a box comes up. Click on the button that says browse and is next to from a file. Then go and find the music file you're using and select it. Then type in 0 in the expression editor. Then click ok. Once you run the game the music should play and loop when its finished.
