FLASH: actions: stopping ALL sounds help

[Edward Cossette]

I just realized that a button action I was using to "stop all sounds"

actually only stops the current sound playing in the movie; the sounds kicks

in again later when the timeline reaches  another sound event.


Am I doing somethign wrong or is that just the way it is?  Is there any

solution to this?   As you can imagine, it's worse to have the sound kick

back in when the user thinks it's off (especially in this case where my

second sound is rather dramatic) than it is to have no sound off option at

all.  At least this gives the user a chance to volume off their speakers if

they don't want the sound rather than being surprised later.
