Hello folks!

First, since your sound is set to stream, no need to start the sound on frame 3. It will start automatically. Also allways add this to your soundObject definition, unless your sound is associated to a particular movie clip, it will keep you out of further troubles.

// init sound
sndStream = new Sound(this);
sndStream.loadSound("fessler_lowqual.mp3",true);

// start sound
// sndStream.start();

Next, since your controls are located in movie clips, you have to add the path to your sound, which was defined on the main timeline.
Thus...
On your play button...

on(release) {
    _root.sndStream.start();
}

And on your stop button (which you didn't add an action to!)

on(release) {
    _root.sndStream.stop();
}

Also note that you should disable the play button, if the sound is already playing, otherwise a new press will constantly re-start it.

You'll find how to do this in this great tutorial...

Sure you've put the same start code on your start button at both ends of your tween. Setting the code at one end of the tween doesn't necessarily set the same at the other end of the tween. Might as well check your stop button also!

Only added a picture (off stage) to show you that it did work if you're on a fast connection. Otherwise, since you're loading a streaming sound (which is not preloaded), this file is so small, that you wouldn't see much of the preloader on a slow connection either.
