Movie files ... do you mean movie clips? Are you loading external SWFs?

Well, it wouldn't ... unless you tell it to stop, right? ;) Are you
playing the audio with ActionScript, or as an asset in the timeline?

Jackie,

Yay!

Ah, that's good to hear. Yeah, it's not immediately obvious what those
Sync settings are for. The Event setting means that the sound will load
into memory all at once -- from the first frame in which it appears -- and
therefore plays out completely whether or not the playhead moves along the
timeline. The Stream settings means the sound loads on a per-frame basis,
so that if the playhead stops, so does the sound. Stream is good for very
tight syncronization, such as cartoon lipsynching. As you've seen, the Stop
setting stops a sound.

It is probably really simple and I am just missing it... I built an intro page
that has sound. I attached 3 other movie files to the intro to play when the
appropriate button is clicked. The sound from the intro will not stop playing
when the other movies are loaded. I can't seem to figure it out... HELP!! :)

Thanks!

I imported swf files into my library and applied the script to a button:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("Glam_MainPage.swf", 0);
}
on (release) {
stopAllSounds();
}

I thought that should have stopped the sound playing on the intro page.
I added the audio by importing it into my library and creating a new layer
with a keyframe. On that keyframe I used the properties panel to add the sound
from my library.

The other movies that I imported have sound as well, however they do not
overlap each other when I click between pages (movie clips or swfs). Do I need
to have all the "pages" be separate movie clips and put them all into a new
flash file?

Hello

I figured it out! I knew it would be something simple...
On the properties panel I had to turn the "Sync:" to stop.
