Like everything in flash there are a few ways to skin a cat, so I hereby offer a garden variety start/stop sounds button:

To start a sound you can go double click on the button's instance -be sure it is named- and then add key frames to each of the four states up, down, over and hit. Then highlight the down state by clicking on the down keyframe and go down to the properties inspector to where it says 'sound' and click on the arrow next to where it says 'none'. If you have imported your sound file to the .fla library you should see it in the drop down menu. Just select it and that's it. When the button is pressed, the sound will start.

Now to stop the sound: Highlight the button instance on the stage and in the actions library under 'movie actions' -the very first category- double click on the word 'on'. In the window to the right you will see the script appear and you then have the option to select what event will trigger whatever action you will assign-ie. on rollover, release, down, rollout et al. By default it will say 'on release' but you can unclick 'on release' and click 'on down' for example if you'd rather. After this you need to go back to the actions library to your left and at the very bottom of the 'movie actions' select 'stopAllSounds'. Double click on it and you're done.

Hope this helps...
