Funny thing the last questions on the forum is about sounds.  
I have a sound issue as well.  
Importing the sound - cool.  
Start/stop the sound - cool.  
but how can I pause the sound so when I press play it will continue from where it stoped!!!  
I’ve been looking books,web-tutorials and flash help and I couldn’t find it anywhere.  
Anybody knows???  
I would appreciate your helpl  
Thank you :cyborg:

you need to store in a variable the current position of the sound 🙂
