Hey Tom,
in this video, for the part where you show the start and stop buttons, the start button coding works. However for stop,
when I use the code :- channel.stop(); it never stops the music. Am i missing something? Your help would be really appreciated.

Thanks for the CS4 goodness – after completing the tutorial, previewing the file from Flash works fine, and opening the swf in flash player works fine. Yet, when I place the swf on my page in Dreamweaver it doesn’t play. the mp3 file is in the same folder as the swf (and the fla file), the buttons seem to be active, but nothing plays? Whaddai do wrong?
Check your DW site and see if you have a scripts folder. If there is no Run_AC_Content or something like that, Flash isn’t being seen.
If you do, you might want to check your Flash publish settings to ensure there are no path issues.

I am having an issue with the url, where exactly are you pulling the “OuterSpace.mp3″. normally i see a full url but yours isn’t which is confusing me. is it possible to stream from your computer, and or also import a file and then through actionscript make it play or mute, and also keep it from playing while going through other layers in my timeline. i have a couple sounds that i want to use and for some reason when one plays, it doesn’t stop after going to a new portion of my timeline.
