Hey mhafez100

Here is a very good tutorial on sound objects with almost everything you need to know about sounds. Just a tip about your code try not to attach any AS to any object, good practice is to use frame action instead ( that means attaching code to a frame).

finally quick answer to your question, try this:

//myBtn is the instance name of my button on the stage

mySound = new Sound ();
mySound.attachSound ("sound2");
playing = false;
myBtn.onPress = function ()
{
    if (playing == false)
    {
        mySound.start ("sound2");
        playing = true;
    }
    else
    {
        mySound.stop ("sound2");
        playing = false;
    }
};
