sound problem when going from 1 scene to another!

[pelegk1]

i have this functions in flash mx:
function playSound(soundName, soundLength) {
gSound = new Sound();
gSound.attachSound(soundName);
gSound.start(0, 0);
gSoundendTime = getTimer()+gSound.duration;
}
function stopSound() {
gSound.stop();
}
function playBgSound(soundName) {
gBgSound = new Sound();
gBgSound.attachSound(soundName);
gBgSound.start(0, 999);
gBgSound.setVolume(gSound.getVolume()-80);
}
function stopPlayBgSound() {
gBgSound.stop();
}

when i start in the first scene i play playSound("scene1")
and i play playBgSound("bgSound") so far so good!
but when i go from scene 1 to scene 2 i do stopSound() (beacuse if a sound of scene 1 is in the middle i want to stop it!!!). but what happens is not only that the sound stop's but the background sound stop's as well!!!
and if i dont do stopSound() the background sound keep's on playing!why?what can i do sothat the bg sound will keep on playing?
thnaks in advance

I don't know that much about controlling the sound with action script but don't use a function unless it is going to make your project more felxible. Having a function to play the sound is really defeating the purpose of the built in play method. Are you planning on building on those functions with arguments? I see those functions and am puzzled as to why you would need them.

i dont understand the problem?
i am using a "global sound function"
beacuse instead of 40 time write the line's that in the playSound() function i just call it from where i need!!!!
that's the most corrct way that a programmer should work!

the problem that i can't figure out is :
why do i have 2 sound objects :
gSound and gBgSound
and when i do gSound.Stop() it stops all the sound and not just the sound in gSound ?!

beacuse i did gSound.Stop() and didn't do gSound.Stop("soundName") i actually stoped all the sound's and not a specific one!
it work's dor sure for flash mx (not sure for previouse version's)
