asterisk users - Mar 2007 - play file and action only stop if one defined key has been pressed

Hi,

I would like that user cann press 3 and then actions can be taken.
Problem ist if the pressed key not 3 the user jumps to extension i and then 
the file will be played from start again.

I would like that the play of file is only stopped if the user has pressed the 
key 3.

What for an command can i use to make this happened?

exten => i,1,GoTo(restart)

exten => 3,1,NoOp(action)

exten => s,n(restart),Background(file)

best regards
Thomas

I think the m option is what you are looking for

thanks,

I didnt see the option.

The number can be different and is stored in mySQL

exten => ${tmp_var},1,NoOp(INFO key pressed)
exten => ${tmp_var},n,GoTo(s,restart)

is not working because when Asterisk reads the dialplan ${tmp_var} is EMPTY.

Iam now using an workaround. I have done 9 different context and depends on 
the key Iam using Background with option m in each context
