Mute Sound

Question

Hi,
I purchased a flash intro template and it did not include a
Sound Off button. Most of the programming consists of movies but
there is a time line with sound. Couldn't find the answer in my
Flash MX book. Would I put the sound off action script at the start
of the layer with the sound? What if I then want to display Sound
ON, if the sound is turned off? Assistance is appreciated.

Not familiar with flash intro template but I'll take a stab
at what I think your trying to do. My guess is that you have two
buttons one's instance is called soundOff_btn and the others
instance is name soundOn_btn. Then I'm guessing you have a Off
Sound in you library and an On Sound in your library. I put all my
scripts on the same layer ("actions"). So here's a program that
might work if I don't make any typing errors.
var mysound:Sound = new Sound();
soundOff_btn.onRelease=function()
mysound.attachsound("Off");
mysound.setVolume(50);
mysound.start();
soundOn_btn.onRelease=function()
mysound.attachsound("On");
mysound.setVolume(50);
mysound.start();
}
