help with simultaneous on off sound buttons

Question

hi, I'm an intermediate flash user and I've made a file for
my kids in class that has some sound on-off buttons. they are set
to play once or loop depending on length by simple mouse click.
they will play simultaneously if more than one is clicked
individually on the page. I'm trying to make the page so the kids
can just select the sound button icon, drag as many of them as they
want (usually 2 -4 sounds at a time) into a box at the bottom of
the page where they will then just play and loop. if they are
dragged out of the box, that sound will stop. if another is dragged
into the box it's sound will then join the ones that are already
looping. can someone please help point me to the action script I
need to write for this to occur? thanks. please email me at school:
dlauter@unis.org if you can.

yes, using the linkageID will allow you to start the sound associated with each icon.

so, if you have an icon with instance name drumsIconMC and you have a sound in your library that you've assigned a linkage id of drumsID, you can use:

drumsIconMC.soundID = "drumsID";
drumsIconMC.onPress=function(){
this.startDrag();
}
drumsIconMC.onRelease=function(){
this.stopDrag();
if(eval(this._droptarget) == boxMC){ // assuming your drop target box is named boxMC
if(this.s == undefined){
this.s = new Sound();
this.s.attachSound(this.soundID);
}
this.s.start(0,999); // <- asssuming you want to loop your sound 999 times
} else{
if(this.s != undefined){
this.s.stop();
}
}
}
