How do I make a toggle button to stop sound/music from playing?

[JamesM_]

I have researched on YouTube and through this support forum to try to understand how to do this, but I cannot get it to work. Does anyone know of a way to do this with actionscript, perhaps in the most simple form possible please?

var s:Sound = new S();  // where S is the class (=linkage id in library panel) of your sound

var sc:SoundChannel = s.play();

var s_bool:Boolean = true;

toggle_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,toggle_soundF);

function toggle_soundF(e:MouseEvent):void{

if(s_bool){

sc.stop();

} else {

sc=s.play();

}

s_bool=!s_bool;

}

Apologies, but I get the message "Call to a possibly undefined method s". Its refering to the part where it says new S.

I put the song name like the following:

var s:Sound = new S("Motivator.mp3");

I assume I am doing something incorrectly?

Is there any text in the Linkage column in the library? If there is, it's quite likely you put Motivator in there. If you did, the line should read:

var s:Sound = new Motivator();

This was a great help. Thanks!

This helped a bunch. I'll be sure to credit you, thank you.

I'm trying to use this in an HTML5 canvas. Where do I add this code, just to a frame with symbol in it, or how is it supposed to work?

[kglad]

that's actionscript which won't work in canvas.  you need to use javascript/createjs, SoundJS v1.0.0 API Documentation : SoundJS

is it possible fadeIn and fadeOut the sound when toggle the button? can you give the example with .fla file maybe, thanks
