Re: FLASH: SOUND OFF/ON BUTTON?

[Eric DeJesus]

How about using both buttons like Dave suggested (PLAY, STOP) but placing the

second one (STOP), invisible, on top of the first(PLAY) as a movie button. The

STOP appears after you click PLAY and blocks the PLAY button. Then, when you

click on the STOP button, it goes back to a frame where it is invisible.
