Problem with start() after pausing mp3

[sanflynz]

Hi All

Im fiddling with an mp3 player I found a tutorial for online, and am really stuck with what I think should be a simple part of code. The basic problem is that after I pause the track, the play button wont play the track.

I dont know much about actionscript, but do code a little in php and javascript so Ive had a play around with the code as much as I am able, but to no avail.

This is the function to pause the song:

btn_pause.onRelease = function() { //pause button function
this._parent.sound_mc.sound_obj.stop(); //stop the current sound
posiP = _root.sound_mc.sound_obj.position / 1000; // save the current position in a new variable and divide by 1000 (ms -> sec)
pause = true; //set the variable pause to true
}

and this is the function to restart:

btn_play.onRelease = function() {
if (pause == true){ // no comment....
this._parent.sound_mc.sound_obj.start(posiP); // start sound from the previously saved position
}
else {
this._parent.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr], songname[song_nr]);
}
}

Now, I know the function is being restarted, and the variable posiP is getting passed into the function, because I used a dynamic text box on the player to show me the value of posiP and it was fine, ie:

btn_play.onRelease = function() {
if (pause == true){ // no comment....
this._parent.display_txt.text = posiP;
this._parent.sound_mc.sound_obj.start(posiP); // start sound from the previously saved position
}
else {
this._parent.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr], songname[song_nr]);
}
}

This is my entire actionscript if you need it

Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance :)
