oh and I did find this script
that has the button functionality that I am looking for
(one button which starts/stops the audio file.
but I can’t seem to rig it into your script
(is seems like it should be easy to do???

var loadSnd:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“ax Mr .l..mp3″);
var thisSnd:Sound = new Sound();
thisSnd.load(loadSnd);

play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playF);
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,stopF);

var sndTrans:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var st:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform();

stop_btn.visible = false;

function playF(e:MouseEvent):void
{
SoundMixer.stopAll();
st.volume = .9;
sndTrans.soundTransform = st;
sndTrans = thisSnd.play();
play_btn.visible = false;
stop_btn.visible = true;
}

function stopF(e:MouseEvent):void
{
sndTrans.stop();
play_btn.visible = true;
stop_btn.visible = false;
}

Hey great tutorial.

I do have one question
how can I have the sound load and play immediately without having to invoke the play button.

what I need it music to load on my site.
then give the visitor the option to pause the music and then resume it again later.

any suggestions?

thanks

I have been moving over to a new site lately http://www.tudway-experimental.com so i will write a tutorial there for you. Post a comment on one of the tutorials there so i know you are reading them. Also i have done some experiments involving loading an external sound. If you click on the experiments tab on my new site you should see some interesting stuff.

Fantastic !!

Any chance you could provide code to:

1. load an 'external' .mp3
2. play button code
3. your (awesome) pause button code
4. stop button code

all in one code chunk?

Loads of people are searching for the above to create simple, 3 button audio/image pieces in Flash.
