To access JavaScript functions from your ActionScript class you can make use of the ExternalInterface method.

On the HTML page where your SWF is embedded, you will have to include the custom JavaScript functions you want to access from your SWF. With the help of the ExternalInterface method you can access any declared JavaScript function.

In your case, just wrap the stop , play and pause function of the music player in a custom JavaScript function (which you can then address from the SWF) or call the native stop, play and pause function directly. I prefer to create a wrapper class so that your code is understandable for any third party.

The principle is very easy to implement, just read through this link and you will be on your way!

Maybe you could try to use the pause function instead of the stop function? So when the user presses play, the song just resumes from it's paused position?
