Question

Stop sound btn using AS3

This is a pretty easy question.  First, let me say that I am NOT a coder.  The work I do thus far is able to be done quickly and easily with Code Snippets.  However, there is not a snippet for "STOP SOUND" for a button.  The coding for Stopping All Sounds, is not what I need for this project. 

 

Is there such an animal?  Would anyone happen to know where I could get a tutorial on this?  I have searched the web and YouTube, but I only find the tutorials for creating start and stop coding.  

 

The thing is, I created an animated character that talks and blinks, which is all that I need.  The mp3 is streamed and everything works with no problem...until I want to move to the next page BEFORE the puppet stops talking.  As I said, if I use the code snippets stop all sounds, then the puppet on the next frame will not talk.  

 

Any advice? 

Thanks in advance, 

Terri

    /* Click to Play/Stop Sound
    Clicking on the symbol instance plays the specified sound.
    Clicking on the symbol instance a second time stops the sound.
     
    Instructions:
    1. Replace "http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/sound/song1.mp3" below with the desired URL address of your sound file. Keep the quotation marks ("").

    movieClip_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToPlayStopSound);
     
    var fl_SC:SoundChannel;
     
    //This variable keeps track of whether you want to play or stop the sound
    var fl_ToPlay:Boolean = true;
     
    function fl_ClickToPlayStopSound(evt:MouseEvent):void
    {
    if(fl_ToPlay)
    {
    var s:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/sound/song1.mp3"));
    fl_SC = s.play();
    }
    else
    {
    fl_SC.stop();
    }
    fl_ToPlay = !fl_ToPlay;
    }

    you should be able to stop a sound embedded in a timeline that has its sync property set to stream by stopping the timeline.
