I am not seeing the bug with this simple code: <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" horizontalAlign="left">
<mx:Script> [Bindable] [Embed (source="../assets/jazz.mp3")] public var soundClass:Class; </mx:Script> <mx:SoundEffect id="mySound2" source="{soundClass}" duration="20000" /> <mx:Button label="playMusic with no pan set" mouseDownEffect="mySound2"/> <mx:Button label="pause sound" click="mySound2.pause()" /> <mx:Button label="resume sound" click="mySound2.resume()" /> </mx:Application> If I play, pause and then resume the pause, the SoundEffect seems to do the right thing. If you have another scenario where pausing the SoundEffect doesn't work, please file a bug at bugs.adobe.com/flex. Joan
