I have assigned actions to a button i have used, to play an mp3 file.

However, I don’t want the mp3 to play over and over if you keep pressing the button more than once.

How do you stop the recurring sound action?

i have assigned the stop button’s action window with:

on(release) {  
stopAllSounds();  
}

and play button with:

on (release) {  
kirupaSound = new Sound(this);  
kirupaSound.attachSound(“music”);  
kirupaSound.start(0, 99);  
}
