  1. //number that is redefined when the pause button is hit
  2. var pausePoint:Number = 0.00;
  3. //a true or false value that is used to check whether the sound is currently playing
  4. var isPlaying:Boolean;
  5.  
  6. //think of the soundchannel as a speaker system and the sound as an mp3 player
  7. var soundChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
  8. var sound:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("SOUNDPATH/EVENDEEPER/SOUND.mp3"));
  9.  
  10.  
  11. //you should set the xstop and xplay values to match the instance names of your stop button and play/pause buttons
  12. xstop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickStop);
  13. xplay.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickPlayPause);
  14.  
  15. soundChannel = sound.play();
  16. isPlaying = true;
  17.  
  18. function clickPlayPause(evt:MouseEvent) {
  19.         if (isPlaying) {
  20.                 pausePoint = soundChannel.position;
  21.                 soundChannel.stop();
  22.                 isPlaying = false;
  23.         } else if (!isPlaying) {
  24.                 soundChannel = sound.play(pausePoint);
  25.                 isPlaying = true;
  26.         }
  27. }
  28.
