Controlling Sound

Question

I am creating a CD ROM whereby I have an series of links that
play an animation of a train going to another section of the
screen. I have a sound of a train for each of these, and realise
that the novelty of this sound will wear thin after a while. I have
created a button to stop the sound and used the stop all sounds
function. This however only seems to stop current sounds and I want
my button to turn off this train sound off altogther. Any help
would be greatly appreciated
My actionscripting is quite amateur at best and I am not sure
how to go about turning off this sound, i have also tried script
something like this but again, my scripting is poor and this didn't
work:
Sounds Off
on(release) {
soundOff();
var soundOff = new Sound(trains.wav);
soundOff.setVolume(0);

Answer 1

I believe what you want is this on your button:
on(Release){
soundOff.setVolume(0)
and then keep this on the main timeline:
var soundOff = new Sound(trains.wav);
That way, when the button is pressed, the sound object with
name
soundOff will be set to zero!
Alternatively, keep all the code together by giving your
button an
instance name of soundOff_btn and placing the following code
on a frame
in the main timeline:
var soundOff = new Sound(trains.wav);
soundOff_btn.onRelease = function(){
soundOff.setVolume(0)
