public stop([linkageID:String]) : Void

Stops all sounds currently playing if no parameter is specified, or just the sound specified in the idName parameter.

Parameters

linkageID:String [optional] - A parameter specifying a specific sound to stop playing. The idName parameter must be enclosed in quotation marks (" ").

Example

The following example uses two buttons, stop_btn and play_btn, to control the playback of a sound that loads into a SWF file. Add two buttons to your document and add the following ActionScript to your FLA or AS file:

var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
my_sound.loadSound("song1.mp3", true);

stop_btn.onRelease = function() {
    trace("sound stopped");
    my_sound.stop();
};
play_btn.onRelease = function() {
    trace("sound started");
    my_sound.start();
};
