hello. im a beginner with flash and i need a little help.  
i want to create a small music player (that play only 1 song) which contains-  
a Play button - button symbol  
a Stop button - button symbol  
a title (show what song is currently playing) - movie symbol  
music - i guess movie symbol

the only problem i couldnt solve (the rest are working fine) is that the play and stop buttons arent working. the scripts i wrote for them are:

**on(press){  
a.play();**  
**}**

and

**on(press){  
a.stop();**  
**}**

respectively, while “a” is the instant name for the symbol which contains the song.

i think i figured out that the problem is that in the music symbol there is only 1 frame (which contains the song- i just went to frame #1 and dragged to the edit screen the song from the library).

please help me!!
