Question

Stop a sound from playing

Hi, I am trying to stop a sound from playing when the PlayBtn is pressed. The PlayBtn advances the playhead to the next frame and plays an embedded video.

I've tried several different ways of doing this but I am kind of new and self taught.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;   

var SoundClass:Class = getDefinitionByName("YuhYuhEdited") as Class;

var newSound:Sound = new SoundClass();

newSound.play()

stop();

PlayBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_3);

function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_3(event:MouseEvent):void

{

  gotoAndPlay(2);

}

use:

import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;  

var preventPlayBool:Boolean;

var alreadyDefined:Boolean;

if(!alreadyDefined){

alreadyDefined=true;

var SoundClass:Class = getDefinitionByName("YuhYuhEdited") as Class;

var newSound:Sound = new SoundClass();

}

if(!preventPlayBool){

newSound.play();

preventPlayBool=false;  // assuming you want this sound to play every time you enter this frame, except when PlayBtn is clicked.

}

stop();

PlayBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_3);

function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_3(event:MouseEvent):void

{

preventPlayBool=true;

  gotoAndPlay(2);

}

Appreciate you taking some time to help me. I used the above exactly as written and the sound continues to play when the PlayBtn is used. The play head does progress to the next frame as intended still.

I want the music to play on the intro screen and then turn off when the button is pressed and the video starts.

Again, thanks for the help.
