I have created my own little mp3 player and have about 5 songs (so far) to choose from different buttons on the fla.
However what I have noticed is that I can stop the song and get the frame head to go and stream to the next song but the first song is still streaming.
Again if I hit another button that also streams another song, obviously until they are all fully loaded and if I hit enough (songs) streams, obviously the computer slows down and songs start breaking up !
Is there a way to "kill" the streaming process ?

This code is on my first frame

Code:

music1=new Sound();
music1.loadSound("Wake UP MP3 edit.mp3",true);
currentTrack=music1;

//button controls
wakeUp_btn.onRelease = function() {
	currentTrack.stop();
	gotoAndStop(1);
};
yummy_btn.onRelease=function(){
	currentTrack.stop();
	gotoAndStop(5);
}
bigGreen_btn.onRelease=function(){
	currentTrack.stop();
	gotoAndStop(10);
}
swim_btn.onRelease=function(){
	currentTrack.stop();
	gotoAndStop(15);
}
peaceful_btn.onRelease=function(){
	currentTrack.stop();
	gotoAndStop(20);
}


play_btn.onRelease = function() {
	currentTrack.start();
};
stop_btn.onRelease = function() {
	currentTrack.stop();
};

//mp3 song display
this.onEnterFrame=function(){
	songName_txt.text=music1.id3.songname.toUpperCase();
	
}
stop();

The buttons then take you to another part of the frame head with the following code obviously music2 changes to music3 and so on....

Code:

music2=new Sound();
music2.loadSound("Yummy Scrummy Mummy MP3 edit.mp3",true);
currentTrack=music2;

this.onEnterFrame=function(){
	songName_txt.text=music2.id3.songname.toUpperCase();

}
stop();

Flash can't stop the first loadSound. In another words, it stops the sound, but the loading process continues wich causes the user to download 2 files or how many I press, which is not good....

Another way I thought of doing it was to create an external swf and have the music in that, to load an unload, but that seems long winded.

Thanks for anyone's help

Cheers,
