Starting and stopping sounds on mouse over

[TommyIndigo]

I need help stopping sounds based on a mouse over event for a button. I have 3 buttons, all which have sounds on their "over" event. That works fine, however if the user mouses over the buttons quickly, the sounds overlap.

What I need to do is stop any playing sounds BEFORE the new button's sound is played. If I could write a "StopAllSounds" action on the OVER frame of the button, that would work, but I can't do that. Any ideas???

You can't do this?

on(mouseOver){
stopAllSounds();
}

Are you playing the sounds by dropping them into the button's over frame itself or are you placing them in separate sound() objects. If it's the latter then this should work once you've defined "mySound":

on(mouseOver){
stopAllSounds();
mySound.start()
} Slainte

I was dropping the sounds in the button itself...I took your suggestion to use the sound object, and that worked great! Thanks!
