Sound on/off controls vs. looping animation piece?

[-kingcarrot- .]

So I've spend considerable time trying to figure out how the have a button 

which turns the sound off continue to operate after the movie in which it is 

called repeats. The whole main timeline starts again.


This communication between the button state and the next play of the main 

timeline seemed difficult at best to achieve.


I scoured the web this weekend and began to find that I could find no 

animations that looped + had an on/off button for their sound.


Most, if they included an on/off button would not loop the entire piece. 

They would be single play flash pieces and the button would become less 

accessible naturally toward the end.


Is this what you all have found as well?

No looping of the entire movie when placing volume on/off buttons in your 

animations?


Thanks in advance
