I guess you're right about the getBytesLoaded method.
Another test we should do is just deleting the Sound object like Ash said in
is reply.

Well, Sound.getBytesLoaded() wouldn't show if a
sound was continuing to load into cache after
starting to load a new (or even missing) sound
file into the same sound object. It would just show loading for the new
sound.
But I just ran a test which shows that loading a
new sound into a sound object does, in fact,
curtail an earlier loading of a different sound into the same object:
http://www.dartfrogmedia.com/stopSoundLoad/index.html
In this test, press the first button to start
streaming a 5.7 MB MP3 (just a long pink noise)
via a Sound object. Then immediately press the
second button, which attempts to load a
non-existent MP3 into the same Sound object. Wait
a minute and check your browser cache and you'll
see the first sound ("longSound.mp3") never
loaded. If you then click the first button again
but DON'T click the second button, and wait a
minute or so (depending on connection speed),
you'll see that "longSound.mp3" DOES show in the browser cache.

You can watch a sound loading with an interval tracing the
Sound.getBytesLoaded method.

How do you know the sound is no longer loading?

Yes thats exactly what i found, loading another sound is the only way to
stop a sound from loading once its started.

What about using the following code... s.loadSound("",true);
<code>
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.loadSound("Finish Line.mp3" , true);
s.start(999,1);
function stopSong(){
//s.stop();
s.loadSound("",true);
clearInterval(myTimer);
trace("stopSong called");
}
myTimer= setInterval(stopSong , 5000);
</code>
This would load nothing.

I just tested this code and it worked as it should.
<code>
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.loadSound("Finish Line.mp3" , true);
s.start(999,1);
function stopSong(){
s.stop();
clearInterval(myTimer);
trace("stopSong called");
}
myTimer= setInterval(stopSong , 10000);
</code>
I of course put the swf and the mp3 in the same directory to test this.
I used the setInterval just to do a quick test that it shuts off
after 10 seconds.

Whats the best way to stop a sound from loading ? I fired the
Sound.loadsound() method but suddenly for a reason, I need to stop the
loading right away.
Same thing with MovieClipoader. Will the MovieClipLoader.unloadClip
method
simply stop the downloading of the image ?
