[puthisorn]

I want to know the script that control sound object to play, pause and stop.
Anyone please tell me with example.

from the actionscript dictionary.
(probably faster to go straight there :)

Sound class
Availability
Flash Player 5.

Description
The Sound class lets you control sound in a movie. You can add sounds to a movie clip from the library while the movie is playing and control those sounds. If you do not specify a target when you create a new Sound object, you can use the methods to control sound for the whole movie.

You must use the constructor new Sound to create a Sound object before calling the methods of the Sound class.

Property summary for the Sound class
Property
Description

Sound.duration
Length of a sound, in milliseconds.

Sound.ID3
Provides access to the metadata that is part of an MP3 file.

Sound.position
Number of milliseconds a sound has been playing.


Event handler summary for the Sound class
Event handler
Description

Sound.onID3
Invoked each time new ID3 data is available.

Sound.onLoad
Invoked when a sound loads.

Sound.onSoundComplete
Invoked when a sound stops playing.


Constructor for the Sound class
Availability
Flash Player 5.

Usage
new Sound([target])

Parameters
target The movie clip instance on which the Sound object operates. This parameter is optional.

Returns
Nothing.

Description
Constructor; creates a new Sound object for a specified movie clip. If you do not specify a target instance, the Sound object controls all of the sounds in the movie.

Example
The following example creates a new Sound object called global_sound. The second line calls setVolume() and adjusts the volume on all sounds in the movie to 50%.

global_sound = new Sound();
global_sound.setVolume(50);

The following example creates a new Sound object, passes it the target movie clip my_mc, and calls the start method, which starts any sound in my_mc.

movie_sound = new Sound(my_mc);
movie_sound.start();

That Kenny Bellow tutorial is good. There is also some useful info in Moock's "Actionscript Definitive Guide" if you have it. The sound object is [still] quite buggy in places even in MX04 and you may need to use a setInterval function to 'poll' for information if you're using Sound.position and/or Sound.duration.

Agent - don't know what's happened to the "pm" buttons on these forums. Any chance you could give me a quick shout (mailto:neil@nwebb.co.uk) ?
