flash (macromedia): Hey, I basically want to make a flash banner with a mp3 file embedded which
plays when you press a button, I managed to embed a mp3 file, and its playes,
but it just plays automatically, i want it to be able to start when i press a
button and stop when i press a button.

Is this possible, or is it a bit above the level of a begginer?

thanks.

On the TIMELINE, on frame 1, create three layers. Name them mp3, button,
actionscript. enter into the Actionscript layer:

stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndPlay(50);
};

Next , create a button in in the button layer and name it play_btn .
On the timeline, go to frame 50. Insert a keyframe on the button layer, the
actionscript layer, and the mp3 layer. At frame 50 press delete on the button
layer. This removes the button. Insert a new button at frame 50 and call it
stop_btn.
Insert your mp3 in the the mp3 layer at frame 50. In the actionscript layer
at frame 50 enter this actionscript:

play_btn.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndPlay(1);
};

What ever frame the mp3 stops playing at enter a keyframe in the actioncript
layer and enter the actionscript:

gotoAndPlay(1);

Lots of luck

Sorry, I made a mistake. Try this:

actionscript. enter into the Actionscript layer:

stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndPlay(50);
};
