How to get sound to play and pause with the new UI

Question

I'm trying to have a sound play on an empty game object using a UI button with the new UI system. I basically have this script on an empty game object with a sound file as sound source. But when I ad another button state and try and use the stop sound the button does not work at all, but I can get it to play with the first play sound option. I'm not good at C# so I'm sure I'm buggering this up with the new UI somehow. using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

 public class PodScannerSoundManager : MonoBehaviour {
 
 
     public void ScannerPlay()
     {
         audio.Play();
         
     }
 
     public void ScannerStop()
     {
         audio.Stop();
         
     }
 }

It's normal because you are calling all your method on Click. So it will call audio.Stop() in the end...

Call just one (and only one) function from the button:

 public void TogglePlay()
 {
      if(audio.isPlaying)
      {
         audio.Stop();
      }
      else
      {
         audio.Play();
      }
 }

Cheers
