I just use Flash3 technology to do this. Simply put the MC (with the sounds 

in it) inside another movie clip so you can hide it by sending the parent 

movie clip to a frame where the sound movie clip does not exist. Now any 

TellTargets to the sound movie clip will fail. To turn sound back on, send 

the parent clip to the frame where the sound movie clip exists. I know 

Flash4 can do this in the manner in which you suggest, but it's the same 

amount of work and the Flash3 version is, of course, Flash3-compliant and 

therefore will work for more users.
