help please! Button sound problem

[pooterboy]

i have 5 individual buttons and each has a different sound when you press down on it. i put the sounds on the DOWN part of the button timeline. When i press each soundthey play but they dont cancel eachother out and end up playing together. it sucks....What i want to know, is there a certain action script to program these buttons to work the way they should be working. Im pretty inexperienced with flash and im just starting to learn. THANK YOU for all your help. Below is the link the flash so you can see, or HEAR for yourself.... THANK YOU

take the sound out of the button timeline.
open the library and give each sound a linkage identifier- ss1, ss2, ss3....
on each button, attach the sound and stop the others

Button#1 -
on(press){
s1 = new Sound();
s1.attachSound("ss1");
s1.start();

s2.stop();
s3.stop(); // and so on
}

Button#2 -
on(press){
s2 = new Sound();
s2.attachSound("ss2");
s2.start();

s1.stop();
s3.stop(); // and so on
}

thanx for the help...but this actually didnt work right...

when i clicked on the first button it played fine....right when i pressed a second button the sound stopped but the second button didnt play. Then nothing would play at all after that. not even the first button.

another thing is that when you press a button twice the sound plays twice at a time... any help from anyone is well appreciated.

my bad

have an empty movieclip per button to attach the sounds individually to timelines and it will work, ie clip names mc1,mc2...

on(press){
s1 = new Sound(mc1);
s1.attachSound("ss1");
s1.start();

s2.stop();
s3.stop(); // and so on
}

on(press){
s2 = new Sound(mc2);
s2.attachSound("ss2");
s2.start();

s1.stop();
s3.stop(); // and so on
}

Ok....i made movie clips mc1, mc2, mc3 etc.. and attached the linked sounds ss1, ss2, to the corresponding movie clips and added the mc1, mc2 etc to the action script and still the same results....sorry....but this isnt working for me... unless im totally doing something wrong. thank you for help.
