Need to stop one music file when I play another

foundsheep · 11-23-2009, 10:38 AM

I'm developing a band site and currently have all the song clips playing and stopping via start/stop buttons. The issue is that all of the songs can be playing at the same time if you don't manually stop the other songs. The idea would be to have a song stop automatically if a user pushed play for another song.

This is all the AS I have on the button right now:

Code:

on (release)
{
    sndMusic1.start();
pause4thaladies._visible=true;
play4thaladies._visible = false;
}

Help is appreciated.

Suppose you have 10 Movieclips corresponding to each artists,and on clicking them you play their song.

I suppose you are using only one sound object namely,sndMusic1.
And you are loading dynamically the corresponding file of each artist.

That is,

Each movieclip has an info named artistSong or something that is the IDENTIFIER or PATH of that particular song.Just load it to the soundObject.

Since it is the same object,we can stop the previous song also.

So,Here is the code for first MovieClip.

mC1.onPress=function()
{
sndMusic1.stop();//Stopping the previous song.
sndMusic1.attachSound("mC1Song");//Identifier of that song.
sndMusic1.start(0,1);
}

Similarly for all movieclips...

Hope this helps..

Cheers
