Sound not stopping when navigating away

Hi … I have several swf files which are completed screencasts with voice overs, which I need to integrate into a flash application to distribute on CD to new students.

To play the screencasts in my flash file, I’m navigating to a new frame for each one which has a movie clip on it (instance name myscu3 for example). The myscu3 movieclip has about 20 frames of animation to grey out the screen behind, and then a couple of frames with actionscript on them, which 1) first frame shows a loading screen while the screencast swf is loading via a Loader and then navigates to the 2) second frame where the screencast coords are set and addChild is used to show the screencast via the Loader.

All works fine EXCEPT … if I navigate away from the parent timeline frame where the myscu3 clip is … the screencast disappears (as it should, as the myscu3 clip isn’t on other frames, but if the screencast hasn’t finished playing before I navigate away, the sound keeps playing.

As it stands, I have no idea how to stop the sound playing, as the loader is in the child movieclip, and the navigation away from the frame containing it is accomplished by clicking on any of the tabs at the side (on the main timeline). Any ideas? Is there actionscript code which will just stop any current sound playing (without stopping the ability to play sound) which I could add into the tabs navigation code?

Any help would be much appreciated, as this project is due for delivery at the end of this week and this is the last thing that needs doing on it,

Thanks :slight_smile:
