I see how to play an external sound file in AS3:

var soundClip:Sound;

function init() {  
soundClip = new Sound();  
soundClip.load(new URLRequest(“NameOfSong.mp3”));  
soundClip.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, soundLoaded);  
soundClip.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, soundLoading);  
}  
init();

function soundLoaded(e:Event) {  
soundClip.play();  
}

function soundLoading(e:ProgressEvent) {  
// preloader information goes here  
}

If I click on a button that goes to and plays another label or goes to and stop sat a certain frame, how do I stop the first sound file and begin to play a second?
