Video sound stops when setVolume on root music background

Question

I made a flash animation with a backgroung music loop and
buttons. When a button is clicked, a video file embeded in a swf
plays in a movieclip on the stage. Also, I set the background music
volume to 0 as to listen to the video sound. The problem is that
when the background music volume is changed, the video plays but
the audio changes the same. I tried to stop the background music,
and then the video sound also stops!
Can someone help?
Here is my code:
_root.my_sound = new Sound();
_root.my_sound.attachSound("music.mp3");
_root.my_sound.start(0,1000);
_root.["bt_mc"].onPress = function(){
_root.my_sound.setVolume(0); // or _root.my_sound.stop();
_root.videoDisplay.loadMovie(this.videoclip);
//_root.videoDisplay is the target mc
}

To have separate volume levels you have to attach the sound
objects to different movieclips like this..
_root.my_sound = new Sound(one_mc);
The movieclip can be just an empty clip that you make with
createEmptyMovieClip.
