actionscript-3 - Flash sound mixer stop all works on swf but not on html server version

Question

This is a very strange bug! im using AS3 and CS5.

So i have a youtube video which plays on one frame, and on every other frame i have:

import flash.media.SoundMixer;
flash.media.SoundMixer.stopAll();

Which stops the video playing when you move to another page, this works fine when running it in flash, but when i publish it to a HTML file and upload it to my server it just never works! the sounds always play! Is this to do with my publish settings or a strange flash bug? Thanks, Adam

Answer 1

When your SWF runs in the browser, it's subject to all the security restrictions that the browser imposes, as well as some additional Flash Player security restrictions. I imagine, that you're running into one of these restrictions.

Instead of trying to stop all sounds from playing, why don't you stop the Youtube player itself? It has an API you can use to do this, using either the pauseVideo() or stopVideo() methods.
