Looping sound until ...

Howdy
I'm new to this but am making a program that runs 2 games, a dress up game and a chase game. I have a home screen with buttons that allow the user to select which game to play and both games direct the user back to the home page after completion. In each game and on the home background I have different songs playing but haven't yet figured out how to loop them until directed to the different backgrounds. I'm currently playing the music through the background which i feel may be a part of the problem. I am stuck thinking “loop until… ” but don't know what to put in the blank space. My brain keeps going back to receiving messages but that doesn't line up… please help!

That won't stop the music until the end of the song because the script will be waiting for the music to end before it loops. If you are using the backdrops to detect when to change the music you could have

when backdrop switches to [ backdrop 1 v]
stop all sounds
repeat until <not <(backdrop #) = [1]>>
play sound [music 1 v] until done
end

and

when backdrop switches to [ backdrop 2  v]
stop all sounds
repeat until <not <(backdrop #) = [2]>>
play sound [music 2 v] until done
end

and so on
