i am using actionscript to loop a music file

```php
bgSound = new Sound(this);
bgSound.attachSound("sound1");
bgSound.start(0,99);
bgSound.setVolume(36);

```

Which is working fine.

In my flash stage i have two button

1. Start Button  
2.Stop Button

To Start & stop the sound i have used

```php

stopB.onRelease = function() {
bgSound.stop();
};

playB.onRelease = function() {
        bgSound.start(0,99);
    }
};

```

Which is also working fine. But whenever i am click the start button twice or more the sound is repeating many times which is really anoying.

so i was using a if else state

```php

playB.onRelease = function() {
if(bgSound.stop==true)
        bgSound.start(0,99);
    }
};

```

I am very bad at AS please help me.
