stopAllSounds()

That is the command to stop the sounds playing 🙂

ok i added that action to the stop button and this came up when i tested the movie

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 16, Frame=30: Line 1: Statement must appear within on handler  
stopAllSounds();

you have to put it with and “on” handler:  
for example:

**on(release) {**  
stopAllSounds();  
**}**

release executes the action when the user releases the mouse button. press does it when the user presses… etc.
