mySound.stop(["idName"]) how do you assign the id name?

[webmistress]

I am a bit stuck.

I have one particular sound I need to stop and I can't figure it out. in the flash help it says use this: mySound.stop(["idName"])

but how do I assign an ID name to that sound?

It's called Cheeeez.wav in my library and it just sits on the main timeline, but I want to to stop when I click a button and it moves to a new frame.

I tried to use this on my button:

 

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("startgame" );
stopAllSounds();
}

It works but then it stops the new sound that plays on the "startgame" frame too. So I need to target just the Cheeez.wav

Any ideas??

ID name is optional. Goto the library, right click on the movie, select LINKAGE..., select EXPORT FOR ACTIONSCRIPT and give it an IDENTIFER name above it.

Also, read this book! Macromedia Flash MX, Advanced ActionScript, co-written by Jobe Makar. It goes over many new to advanced topics (sound and linkage included!) It's an excellent read and well worth the $45 price tag.

Thanks that's sorted it.
