I’m trying to figure out how to stop an embedded (event) sound **without** using the method SoundMixer.stopAll()

In the embedded sound I’ve set the Class to “HornSound”.  
Here’s the code so far:

> car\_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_DOWN, carClick);  
> var horn:HornSound = new HornSound();

function carClick(event:MouseEvent):void {  
var channel:SoundChannel = horn.play();  
}

This works, but I want to add a line of code to stop the HornSound. You first stop the HornSound and then start the HornSound again, so I dousn’t play simultaneously. And this without using the method SoundMixer.stopAll() - otherwise my background music stops aswell.

Thanks in advance! Cheers, Wim
