Breaking News ! StopAllSounds();

[Parry]

Hi ALL

Its very simple!! Please let me explain it in very less but clear words.

There is one webpage which contains 10 swf files (apparently these are
buttons to play or stop sounds.)

1.swf which plays sound1, 2.swf which plays sound2 etc...

Now the problem is when you hit on any button first it triggers action
"stopAllSounds" so that if anyother sound is being played that will stop
first and the button you are hitting on that will start playing. So at any
particular time only one sound will play at a time.

This used to work before with flash player 8. but flash player 9 doesn't
support this action stopAllSounds() it seems!!

What will happen in the world if stopAllSounds - major action will not
work????

Please help

If you check out AS2 to AS3 migration doc,
[url]http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/as3preview/langref/[/url] its says:

[Q]This is no longer a global function, but it is still available as a method
of the SoundMixer class, which provides global sound control.[/Q]

Then go have a peek at the SoundMixer class and its the StopAll() method that
you want.

This has been answered several times now.

The old behavior was a nasty bug and undocumented behavior. You designed
you site around using the undocumented bug and now it fails. Now the bug is
fixed, you'll need to redesign how you do things. I think there is a lesson
there for everyone !!
