i was wondering if anyone knew of a way to pause and mp3, if even possible with mx??? i’m using the following code with no results:

this is on my first frame:  
song1 = new Sound();  
song1.loadSound(“awake.mp3”, true);

this is on my pause button:  
on (press) {  
song1MusicPos=\_root.song1.position/1000;  
\_root.song1.stop();  
}

this is on my play button:  
on (press) {  
\_root.song1.start(song1MusicPos,0);  
}

Im trying to create an album sampler that streams mp3’s and allows you to pause the songs…like this one: [http://www.beck.com/preview/song.php](http://www.beck.com/preview/song.php)
