I have eight buttons. Each button plays a different sound.

If the sound is playing from button1 & I press button2 the sound from button2 plays over the first sound.

How do I get it so that when I press button2 the sounds from all the other buttons stops & ONLY the sound from button2 plays?

Please help :)

what you want will take some time for you to learn a little about the
sound object in flash, and how it works with interativity. The best place
on the net to learn about sound in flash is here:

I had already gone through that...it tells you how to attach sounds, loop sounds etc...but not stop any sound that is already playing to play the new sound that you have just clicked on.

I hate to ask the obvious, but have you tried...

Code: [ Select ]
stopAllSounds()


?

It's been around since Flash 3.

EDIT: DM's method looks pretty good :D never thought of that.


How is your soundSystem setup ?

Being you have sounds playing on top of eachother i'm guessing you have each sound attached to it's own soundObject, somthing like this maybe ?,
Code: [ Select ]
testSound = new Sound();
testSound.attachSound("sound1.wav");
testSound2 = new Sound();
testSound2.attachSound("sound2.wav");
but.onPress = function(){
    testSound.start(0,0);
}
but2.onPress = function(){
    testSound2.start(0,0);
}
  1. testSound = new Sound();
  2. testSound.attachSound("sound1.wav");
  3. testSound2 = new Sound();
  4. testSound2.attachSound("sound2.wav");
  5. but.onPress = function(){
  6.     testSound.start(0,0);
  7. }
  8. but2.onPress = function(){
  9.     testSound2.start(0,0);
  10. }


If that's the case try creating an empty soundObject named nowPlaying to keep track of what soundObject is currently running.
In the actions calling each sound to start() assign the value of nowPlaying to the soundObject that the button starts.
Here's a brief example,
Code: [ Select ]
testSound = new Sound();
testSound.attachSound("sound1.wav");
testSound2 = new Sound();
testSound2.attachSound("sound2.wav");
nowPlaying = new Sound();
soundOneButton.onPress = function(){
    nowPlaying.stop();
    nowPlaying = testSound;
    testSound.start(0,10);
}
soundTwoButton.onPress = function(){
    nowPlaying.stop();
    nowPlaying = testSound2;
    testSound2.start(0,10);
}
  1. testSound = new Sound();
  2. testSound.attachSound("sound1.wav");
  3. testSound2 = new Sound();
  4. testSound2.attachSound("sound2.wav");
  5. nowPlaying = new Sound();
  6. soundOneButton.onPress = function(){
  7.     nowPlaying.stop();
  8.     nowPlaying = testSound;
  9.     testSound.start(0,10);
  10. }
  11. soundTwoButton.onPress = function(){
  12.     nowPlaying.stop();
  13.     nowPlaying = testSound2;
  14.     testSound2.start(0,10);
  15. }
Strong with this one, the sudo is.

exactly - and if you had done all of it and thought about it in terms of
your current knowledge of flash you probably could have figured it out
on your own.

I'm not one for spoonfeeding info, sorry. You'll learn so much more doing
things on your own, instead of asking for answers.
