Hello there, I have 4 external SWF that link each one for a MP3 music. In my main movie i have 4 buttons, one for each external SWF. When i click on 1 button the external SWF shows the preloader and starts the first MP3. That ok, But then if i click on 2 button, and after the preloader loads the second MP3 it starts playing but the first MP3 doesn´t stop! I have 2 music at the same time! A mess!:-\ I want to be able to choose another music and stop the one that is playing… I guess that just load the externals SWF to the same container doens´t work, cost they are really a preloader for MP3 files. Any help? thanks ---

Try using [AS]stopAllSounds();[/AS] before you load your new movie. ---

On each button u goin to put sum code: on (release) { stopAllSounds(); loadMovie(“music1.swf”, “targetMC”); } just rename music1 with the mp3 movie name and targetMC with the container movie clip name. there it is ---

Ok, Hi lostinbeta , thanks for the help… Claudio, thanks again;) About the other post, everything works fine if i put main movie online:) And by the way, if you wanna write AS here in Kirupa´s forum, put "as"inside [] before and "/as"inside [] at the end of your code…! It will show the code like this: ```auto loadMovie("great uh?") ``` ---

As if it wasn’t obvious enough I used copy and paste 😛 Obviously replace //code here in the quotes tag with an actual quote 😉 No problem.
