[AS3] How to pause Movie Clip, Frame, and Sound at the same time?

Hello guys,
I have a little problem when I have to make pause and resume button for the timeline.

The file contains animations with some Movie clip (lips movement) and Sound (the character voices).

Is there any script who can make the frame stopped, movie clip stopped, and the Sound stop too?

Here is the workspace which contains the movie clips and sound.

Thanks for the help.

    I've tried and I little bit confused.
    Because my animation consists of several sources of sound (please check my timeline)

    If I use this code...

    var snd:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("bigSound.mp3"));  var channel:SoundChannel = snd.play();

    ...do I need to change URLRequest, every time the sound changed? Coz I have a lot of conversation and it will be taking tons of time.

    It is the only way?
    Or I have to change something first, after set the sound to stream.

    Thanks

    Your image made it seem like you were playing timeline sounds. If you're also playing sound with code, see if this short article helps:

      The reason he said to change sounds to stream is because stream sounds are locked in synch with the timeline. So if you pause the timeline, it automatically pauses the sound as well.

      If you want symbol animations to stay in synch with their parent timeline, make them graphics instead of movieclips.

        If you select a frame with a sound and check the properties panel, you can change the sync of the sound from Event to Stream. Now when scrubbing through the timeline you will hear different parts of the sound. If you don't want to hear that, you can click at the top where it says Control and select Mute Sounds.

          The stream sync is new for me.
