Turn Sound OFF in Javascript or HTML

Question

My client would like the Flash banner I'm using to play audio
only on the home page. Can I shut the sound off in javascrpt or
html (in the object tag properties)? Client does not want a sound
toggle button - simply no sound.
I know I can create a second version of the Flash without
sound - but then users would have to load that file in addition to
the first Flash. I've searched without any luck. Any help would be
much appreciated.

Oh OK, if you want a global volume control, you give it an
argument of
'_root' and you can store a reference to it in _global so
that you can
access it from anywhere. so, on frame 1 of your flash, do
this:
_global.sound_control = new Sound(_root);
then to mute to volume from wherever you like you call:
_global.sound_control.setVolume(0);
so for example if you had a button called 'mute_btn':
this.mute_btn.onRelease = function()
_global.sound_control.setVolume(0);
