Stop embedded music AS3

N.B. : I called the sound variables in a different way than the one suggested as duplicate. That's why it's not the same structure to follow as a start of the question,

In my application, i have used the following lines to embed music and run in on actual devices through adobe air : 

[Embed(source = '/inspiration.mp3')]
        private var MyBack:Class;
        private var back:Sound;

Later on, whenever i want to play it, i use the following code : 

back = (new MyBack()) as Sound;
back.play(0,9999);

It works perfectly, the problem is when i want to stop that music! I've used

back.stop(); but it's always telling me 

1061: Call to a possibly undefined method stop through a reference with static type flash.media:Sound.

What am i doing wrong?

Solution

  • You should store the resultant SoundChannel object and then use that one to stop a playing sound.

    var backPlaying:SoundChannel;
....
backPlaying=back.play(0,9999);
....
backPlaying.stop();

    Of course, make it so that backPlaying is persistent, aka define it in the class aside back.
