Is there a way to use the stopallsounds command with an exception? I want to stop all narrations (in a presentation) when a button is clicked but keep the background music going. So i want to stopallsounds except the background sound. any ideas?

you could find the exceptions postion in milliseconds

pauseAmount=s.position;

// s being the sound;

then stop the sounds

then start playing the exception

s.start(pauseAmount/1000,0);

the only thind to remember is that position is in milliseconds

and the offset to start is seconds

so divide pauseAmount/1000

you should hear no stop in sound

thanks, but i’m not entirely sure what you mean. Here’s my code for the button:

on (release) {  
stopAllSounds();  
\_root.mc\_btn1.gotoAndStop(1);  
\_root.mc\_btn2.gotoAndStop(1);  
\_root.mc\_btn3.gotoAndStop(1);  
\_root.mc\_btn4.gotoAndStop(1);  
\_root.mc\_btn5.gotoAndStop(1);  
\_root.mc\_btn6.gotoAndStop(1);  
\_root.mc\_btn7.gotoAndStop(1);  
\_root.mc\_btn8.gotoAndStop(1);  
\_root.mc\_btn9.gotoAndStop(1);  
\_root.mc\_btn10.gotoAndStop(1);  
gotoAndStop(2);  
\_root.gotoAndStop(2);  
}

can you clarify?

is your sound dynamic or is it embedded in the timeline?

embedded in the timeline. i select a blank layer and add the sound from the properties panel.
