I have a stop and play button that is used for streaming an mp3. I **can** stop the audio with stopAllSounds(); but it keeps downloading. This causes glitches and delays each time the other play buttons are clicked on because it’s still downloading.

Heres the code:

**Frame** 1  
btn\_play.onRelease = function (){  
gotoAndStop(2);  
}

**Frame 2**  
stop();  
var track1:Sound = new Sound();  
track1.loadSound(‘[http://www.site.com/song.mp3](http://www.site.com/song.mp3)’, true);  
btn\_stop.onRelease = function (){  
stopAllSounds();  
gotoAndStop(1);  
}

The reason I chose to stream the audio is to keep my swf file size as small as possible so importing the audio into library isn’t a good option.

Is there any way to stop the audio from streaming after it has been invoked?  
If not, I read somewhere where you can do something similar with uh…I think loadMovie and/or unload Movie (mp3 saved as swf?). Can anyone explain this method or point me in the right direction.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
