Hi

I am creating a flash file that when it is opened as swf it starts playing an mp3 which is stored in the same folder on the cd. I can get it to play fine using the below code. I am trying to add a button to pause it or even mute it but i cant get it to work. Can some one point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Dan

```auto
 
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("abc.mp3");
var trans:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform(-50, -50);
var s:Sound = new Sound(req);
s.play(1,1);

```
