Please do NOT crosspost. :-\

If that’s not what you wanted, you can simply tell me here. You don’t need to start a new thread.

Thank you. =)

Hi kax, is me again. Since you not replying the message i sent you, i hope you can read my reply here. I have tried to use the code that you suggested and i put in the interface of my application.  
The code is as below:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
myObject = new Object();  
myObject.onKeyDown = function() {  
if (Key.isDown(27)) {  
stopAllSounds();  
}  
};  
Key.addListener(myObject);  
}

But, is not working. So, i used this code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (Key.isDown(27)) {  
stopAllSounds();  
}  
}

And, is worked. So, i wondering what wrong in the first code that you suggested. Is it i used it wrongly??

Beside that, in one of the file that i used for testing, i used the code as below:

mysound = new Sound(this);  
mysound.attachSound(“Dialog1”);  
mysound.start();  
mysound.onSoundComplete = function() {  
mysound.stop();  
delete mysound;  
};

as result, when i press the escape key, the audio will be skipped. But, it will wait for a while to continue the rest of it. It doesn’t straight away go to the next animation in the file. So, what should i do?? Hope you can help me out.
