Stop sound btn using AS3

Report · Jul 07, 2023

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

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