stopAllSounds not working

[katiekatie]

I've got a main timeline with a movie clip on one frame that plays a sound in it, then jumps to another frame on the main timeline where another movie clip plays. I want my sound to continue playing until the end of the timeline in the second movieclip.

The first movieclip contains the sound, then on the last frame of the movieclip I have this:

_root.main.gotoAndStop ("atRC");

When the movieclip on frame "atRC" plays, I have this on the last frame:

stopAllSounds();
_root.main.gotoAndStop("RCMinistries");

Then back on the main timeline on frame "RCMinistries", I just have:

stop();

For some reason as soon as it gets to the part where it stops on "RCMinistries", it plays my sound again... I don't get it. I can't find any other instances of the sound on that frame. Maybe it's hiding somewhere? If I put stopAllSounds on that frame, it will stop the sounds but it plays a split second of it first and won't stop it from playing completely.



Help please! I've spent hours trying to research what I'm doing wrong...

No one has any suggestions? Is there a way to see a list of where in your movie all the instances of one library item are located? I wonder if the sound got put in there somewhere twice by accident...

Should I post anything further that would help?

could it be that the "first movieClip" that contains the sound is starting to play again? is there a stop() at the end of it or is the main timeline looping so that the play head comes round to the "first movieClip" again and starts it again?
