sound keeps playing after swf closed

I'm building a web site that uses swf's as pages. The menu.swf has 5 buttons one for each page. When I press a button it loads a page with addChildAt(page, 0); so that the menu is always a level above the currently loaded page. When one of the pages open it plays a mp3 in a loop. The music keeps playing when another page loads. The page that was playing the music was also on level 0 so it's gone yet the music keeps playing. How do I make it so the music stops when another page loads?

I tried communicating to the SoundChannel object in the child swf no luck there, I was able to unload the child from the parent swf with both loader.unload(); and this.removeChildAt(0); but I still have the same the music just keeps playing.

Make sure you stop your sound before unloading the content.
you can do that in a function that listenes to the unload Event for your clip. There, you should stop your sound, and also it is best to remove any eventlisteners you have in there (Especially event listeners that go from the top down, like listeners to stage events, cause these listeners might stop garbage collection from removing the stuff from memory)
