[font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2]is it possible to control a MC by letting it know if a sound is playing or not?

i was thinking of this:  
[indent][font=verdana,arial,helvetica][size=1]quote:[/size][/font]  
if (\_root.firstSound == “true”) {  
\_root.audioButton.gotoAndPlay(3);  
}

if (\_root.firstSund == “false”) {  
\_root.audioButton.gotoAndPlay(1);  
}  
[/indent]

would that be correct???[/size][/font]
