Hi

I’m trying to figure out a simple if statement:

var mp3Player:Sound = new Sound();  
mp3Player.loadSound(“[http://www.mysite.com/audio/01.mp3](http://www.mysite.com/audio/01.mp3)”, true);  
mp3Player.setVolume(75);

if(mp3Player.play == true)  
{  
playBtn.\_visible = false;  
trace (“playing”);  
}else{  
playBtn.\_visible = true;  
trace (“not playing”);  
}

…I’ve also tried (mp3Player == playing) and (mp3Player == play) and (mp3Player.playing == true), I can’t get it to work.

Please help.  
Thanks.
