Re: FLASH: sound loops and stop buttons

[Daniel Atanasovski]

Marc,


how do I deal with different scenes? The music keep starting over and

over everytime are come in to the scene that has the movie simbol. So

after I come back to the my main scene that has the movie simbol

(button) that stops and plays the music, I get multiple music clips

start playing. 



Thanks for all your help,

Daniel.
