Playing a sound

[The Little Guy]

For some reason, I can only run this method one time:
public function loadSong(file:String){
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.dudeel.com/process/flash/getAudio.php?file="+file);
soundFactory.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
soundFactory.addEventListener(Event.ID3, id3Handler);
soundFactory.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERRO R, ioErrorHandler);
soundFactory.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRE SS, progressHandler);
soundFactory.load(request);
song = soundFactory.play();
}

When I try to run it a second time, I get the following error:
Error: Error #2037: Functions called in incorrect sequence, or earlier call was unsuccessful.
at flash.media::Sound/_load()
at flash.media::Sound/load()
at Audio/loadSong()
at Audio/onTxtClick()

What is the reason for that?

If soundFactory is a Sound object, the error makes sense, you can't load a sound into the object more than once. Load each sound once and keep the objects separate.

Can I delete an existing sound then make a new one using the same variable soundFactory?

Put this line at the beginning of your function:
soundFactory = new Sound();
Re-instantiating the variable like this will give you a fresh start each time.

OK, doing that fixes my problem, but for some reason, the current playing song doesn't stop, and the new one start up. The function is running, but nothing happens...

Why would the existing sound stop? You never asked it to! All you did was to load a new sound and begin playback of that.

The starting and stopping of the sound is controlled by the SoundChannel class. In your file, it's instance is "song." So to stop the sound, it would just be:
song.stop();
