Re: FLASH: sound on/off

Make a movie clip which has an "Off" button in the first frame,

and an "On" button in the second frame. Add your soundtrack to

the first frame, plus a "Stop" action, and give the "Off" button

these actions:


On Release

    Stop All Sounds

    Go to and Stop frame 2

End On


On the second frame, give the "On" button these actions:


On Release

    Go to and Play frame 1

End On


The soundtrack will play until you click the "Off" button,

which will stop the sounds and show the "On" button. When

"On" is clicked, the movie clip will return to the first frame

and the soundtrack will play again...
