setInterval with play() in flash as3?

I'm trying to play a sound (notification sound) in my flash application and I need to play the sound until the user clicks on something else to stop it.

I can play the sound properly but the issue is that it will only play once but i need it to play constantly (a short delay between each play maybe?).

my current code is this:

    var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
    mySound.load(new URLRequest("iphonenoti_cRjTITC7.mp3"));
    mySound.play();

so I thought I can use setInterval(mySound,5000); in my code but this doesn't work which means it doesn't play the sound on the loop!

could someone please advise on this?

Thanks in advance.

Well, reading the Documentation of setInterval it states that the first parameter should be a function. In your code, you are passing an Object of the type Sound.

So, there are a couple of options, I'll show you the quickest and dirtiest one.

Instead of setInterval(mySound,5000); you write setInterval(mySound.play,5000);
