Conclusion:

What we did:

• Created 2 layers, one for the buttons, and another for the sound object.

• Imported our sound object to flash, placed it into a new Movie Clip we named "mymusic".

• Dragged the Movie Clip from the library to the "Sound" layer of the main stage.

• We added an Instance Name to our movie clip, this name was used in the Actions as a target to play and stop the movie clip.

• Created 2 buttons, one for "play" and the other one for "pause"

• added actions to the buttons.

A 100% precision, with minor action scripting. Hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
