Stop a sound

[Infamous D]

I have a "play screen" and there is music on the play screen that starts automatically. However, when you click "play" I want the music to stop.

However, I can to "stopallsounds" because there are other sounds in the animation. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
D

how are you loading the sound?
if your using a sound object, try

sound.stop()//where "sound" is the variable for the sound object

Well, to tell the truth, I am not sure how to go about attaching sounds. I simple put the sound in its own layer above the section of animation it partains to. o.O

to use attachSound, do the following;
in the library is where sound is, right? go to the library and right-click on the sound and select linkage. when the dialog box comes up, click on the first check box that says "Export for Actionscript" and then click "OK"
now the sound can be attached to an object, which is the next step.
go to the frame where you want to put the sound, say frame 1 for example. type the following

mysound = new Sound()
mysound.attachSound("linkage_name_you_gave_it")//it will be the same name as the name in the library unless you changed it when you created the linkage.
mysound.start(0,0)//0,0 means - the first zero is the position the sound will start at (the beginning), and second zero is the loop(how many times to repeat the sound 

to stop the sound from a button you can put on the button itself this script

on(release){
   mysound.stop()
} 

there is a excellent tutorial by Kenny Bellew that covers it all
