1. var SoundControl: SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();

     and you omited the caps (S)  everywhere soundControl, change the variable declaration to soundControl

This is the final code:

var soundReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("snd1.mp3");
var sound: Sound = new Sound();
var soundControl: SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();

sound.load(soundReq);

PlayButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound);

StopButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopSound);

function playSound(e:MouseEvent):void
{

    soundControl = sound.play();

}

function stopSound(event:MouseEvent):void
{

    soundControl.stop();

}

hi. i am having a similar issue. I dont want to impose, so if you all think my issue should be posted it in a new thread, let me know.

In any case, noting this thread has not been answered, i have an idea for Krizeto

use a btn component - one on top of the other in one frame,

and the code below:

start_btn.visible = false

stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopMusic);

function stopMusic(e:Event){

    SoundMixer.stopAll();

    start_btn.visible = true;

    stop_btn.visible = false;

}

start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startMusic);

function startMusic(e:Event){

    music_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);

    stop_btn.visible = true;

    start_btn.visible = false;

}

As for my own issue - what i have is an fla w/ some frames and btns that navigate the frames, and i want differnt music on each differnt frame, but i cant get the music from the first frame to stop when i go to the next.

here is my code:

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

import flash.media.Sound;

stop();

    var bgmusic:Sound = new tzipi;

    bgmusic.play();

    if(currentFrame == 10)

    {

        bgmusic.stop();

    }

Without the "if" statement the music plays fine, but as said, it wont stop on the next frame and using bgmusic.stop() outputs an error -

thanks.
