Hi, when i do channel.stop sound doesnt stop instead fades down and keeps playing at lower volume. What goes possibly wrong?  
Here is the code:

\*\*var sonido:Sound;  
var canal:SoundChannel;  
var peticion:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“musica2.mp3”);  
sonido = new Sound();  
canal= new SoundChannel();  
sonido.load(peticion);  
playMusica();  
}

private function playMusica():void  
{  
canal = sonido.play();  
canal.addEventListener(Event.SOUND\_COMPLETE, loopMusic);  
}

public function loopMusic(e:Event):void  
{  
if (canal != null)  
{  
canal.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND\_COMPLETE, loopMusic);  
playMusica();  
}  
}

public function stopMusic(e:MouseEvent):void{

canal.stop();

}  
public function playMusic(e:MouseEvent):void{

playMusica();

}

barra\_mc.stopMusic\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,stopMusic);\*\*
