Hi, I’m building an mp3 player in Flash and it will load the audio and play it but it won’t pause. Here’s my code.

```php
onLoad(pauseIt());
// Check to see if song url is included.
// See if song url is specified
if(!song_url) {
	// If not then stop movie and display frame error
	playPause.gotoAndStop("error");
}else {
// Set up sound variable
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();

// Load Audio
my_sound.loadSound(song_url, true);

// Set Volume to 100%
my_sound.setVolume(100);

// Position of Music
var pos:Number;

// ------- Pausing and unPausing functions ------- \\

// Pauses the music
function pauseIt():Void {
	pos = my_sound.position;
	my_sound.stop();
}

// Pauses the music
function playIt():Void {
	my_sound.start(pos/1000);
}

// Play/Pause Toggle
playPause.onRollOver = function() {
	if(this._currentframe == 1) this.gotoAndStop("PlayOver");
	else this.gotoAndStop("PauseOver");
}

playPause.onRollOut = playPause.onReleaseOutside = function() {
	if(this._currentframe == 10) this.gotoAndStop("Play");
	else this.gotoAndStop("Pause");
}

playPause.onRelease = function() {
	if(this._currentframe == 10) {
		this.gotoAndStop("PauseOver");
		pauseIt();
	}else {
		this.gotoAndStop("PlayOver");
		playIt();
	}
}
}

```

Thanks in advance

well you code seems to work just on registering the pauseit() and playit() functions in the begining lines… of the actionscript codes

just used a button called btn to test it… seems to be fine…
