how do i keep a sound from repeating over itself?

i’m using the attachSound(); on a button roll over.

button1.onRollOver= function() {  
mySound= new Sound();  
mySound.attachSound(“sound.mp3”);  
mySound.start(0,1);  
}

when i rollover the button while the sound is playing, it plays over itself making a giant mess of sound. how would i go about telling flash to check if the sound is playing and not to play if it is?

thanks in advance!
