    Hi venon_it, Welcome to GameSalad.
    There is a behavior called 'Play Music'. http://gamesalad.com/wiki/behaviors_reference:play_music

    It accepts .aac and .m4a audio files to be used as background music.

    Only one background music can play at one time. It continues throughout scene changes and can be paused with the 'Pause Music' behavior, resumed with the 'Play Music' behavior set to 'resume current music', stopped with the 'Stop Music' behavior, and replaced with a different music file with the 'Play Music' behavior.

    I too am interested in playing / pausing music with the touch of one button. However, I am new to GameSalad and don't quite understand the instructions tshirtbooth. I appreciate you help if you could guide me a little more on what you mean by game.attribute.

    Thanks!

    i'm sorry...but i don't have more experience...
    i want for first insert a music with a button in menu, but want to have a possibility to stop/pause in every scene or have a possibility to insert a different button/music for every scene.

    For second want to create one button SOUND, i push down the button and start a small sound...

    Now i create and add a new actor, insert a image, crate a "RULE" ---> "actor recieve event" ---->> mouse button-->> " down "
    and insert "PLAY SOUND" ( with sound.ogg ) with flag "Run to completition"

    But if i push the button on every section of screen the sound "start" !!! it is not good! because i want to insert more button with a different sound...and if i click in every section of screen "start all sound" !!!!

    help Me thanksss

    In your Play and Stop rules, instead of the "Actor receives event", change it to "Attribute" from the drop down menu. Then from the attribute browser, select your game.Attribute attribute.
    Have it check if that attribute is 0 or 1 (depending if it is play or stop) and just have the Music behaviors there. You don't need the Change Attribute behaviors in those rules.

    Also for your first rule, you may want to look for Touch Pressed instead of Mouse Button Down.
