Answer 1

A very basic example:
You'd need 3 var:
private var _sound:Sound;
private var _soundChannel:SoundChannel;
private var _soundChannelPosition:Number = 0;
Then create a Sound:
_sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("some.mp3"));
Stop/play the sound on click:
        private function click(e:MouseEvent):void {
            if(_soundChannel == null){
                _soundChannel = _sound.play(_soundChannelPosition);
            } else {
                _soundChannelPosition = _soundChannel.position;
                _soundChannel.stop();
                _soundChannel = null;
