[Here is my .FLA…](http://www.graphicslash.com/sound.fla)

Anyway, you see that the sound is on a seperate layer, with gotoandplay(1); or w/e on the end… so it indefinetely loops if left to it’s own devices.

Now the actions for the play arrow button are:

on (release) {  
play();  
}

and the actions for the stop square button are:

on (release) {  
stop();  
}

Techincally, as to my VERY BASIC A/S knowledge, this should work right? I also tried instead of “on (release)” I tried “onClipEvent (mouseUp)”

but that didn’t work either. Can anyone help?
