I have read the tutorials about creating a sound bar and how to play sounds unsing actionscripts, im quite confused.

I know how to play the sound using this:

on (release) {  
kirupaSound = new Sound(this);  
kirupaSound.attachSound(“coolsound”);  
kirupaSound.start(0, 99);  
}

But how to stop the sound? And how to play the next track, to pause them…  
Pls help!

Using this [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/soundbar.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/soundbar.htm)  
I have no idea of how to merge the two sound and sound1 files. Need help too!
