Re: removeChild doesn't kill the audio in external swf (as3)

Unfortunately I'm not in front of the project right now, but will be Monday. Before I waste any of your time I will double check that I was using the sound mixer code in the right spot as soon as I get a chance.

Trying to recreate this from memory so it might be a little off, but this is an abbreviated version of how my file is set up (didn't put my event listeners or anything but you get the idea...)


//create loader
var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
//url request for external swfs (i have one for each of my SWFs)
var section1SWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("section1.swf");
var section2SWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("section2.swf");

//when a section in the nav is clicked do this
function section1Clicked(event:MouseEvent):void
{
//i think this is where i tried tell all audio to stop
SoundMixer.stopAll();
//get rid of the old external swf
removeChild(swfLoader);
//load the new external swf
swfLoader.load(section1SWFRequest);
addChildAt(swfLoader, 0);
}


Hopefully the first time i tried that i just had the stopAll code in the wrong spot...we'll see what happens monday!
