Hi Mike,


It's not clear to me if the main interface movie is always present. If it 

is, just don't return to the frame where the sound movie clip first 

appears; return to a later frame and the sound clip will not be reset.


Another option is to have the sound clip begin with the sound "off" rather 

than "on." This way at least users won't have unwanted sound. But those who 

want it on will have the reverse problem of it being reset to "off."


Final option, and one you will benefit from being familiar with, is to load 

the sound toggle scheme into a separate movie and load that movie on a 

higher level that is not unloaded. (Note: it WILL be unloaded if the level0 

movie is unloaded). This will make it immune to playback movement 

(including sceen changes) in the level0 movie.
