Sound on button 1

[ToddWW]

In my OVER state frame for a button symbol, I have selected a 1 second sound (engine idling). I select the LOOP option so the engine idling sound plays continuously. This all works fine when the user hovers over the button. Now, is there an easy way to stop the sound when the user moves away or clicks on the button. I am still a little new to Flash. I see that I cannot put ActionScript in any of the button symbol's frames. I assume I could put the ActionScript in the object that creates my Hit Area ?? Anyways, the effect I am looking for is to have an engine idling sound play as long as the mouse is over the button and stop when the mouse moves away from the button or if the button is clicked.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

The following script does what you after. In this example "buttonInstance" is the name of your Button instance, and "engine.mp3" is the Linkage ID of your sound in the Library.

// Main Timeline 
var snd:Sound = new Sound(buttonInstance);
snd.attachSound("engine.mp3");
buttonInstance.onRollOver = function():Void  {
	snd.start();
};
buttonInstance.onRollOut = buttonInstance.onPress=function ():Void {
	snd.stop();
};
