hello

when you click the first time on the button, it should start the song, when you click a second time on the button, it should stop the song. how do i make this with actionscript 3?

A very basic example:

You'd need 3 var:

private var _sound:Sound;
private var _soundChannel:SoundChannel;
private var _soundChannelPosition:Number = 0;

Then create a Sound:

_sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("some.mp3"));

Stop/play the sound on click:

        private function click(e:MouseEvent):void {
            if(_soundChannel == null){
                _soundChannel = _sound.play(_soundChannelPosition);
            } else {
                _soundChannelPosition = _soundChannel.position;
                _soundChannel.stop();
                _soundChannel = null;
            }
        }
