stopping sounds
Greetings all.
Should be easy enough, but I can't stop 2 different sounds with one click. Here's the deal: I have one sound that loops throughout the movie and another sound effect that plays every other 5 seconds. I can stop and start the loop with no problem. But I can't stop the sound effect. Is there a way to mute all sounds?
Any info would be greatly appreciated as I'm running out of time.
Thanks in advance!

there are so many ways to use sound that a bit more info would help. Is it a plain sound loop? are you using attachSound? is the sound fx playing every 5 secs because of a getTimer() script? or is it just in a movieclip with appropriate number of frames? are they loaded? on the main timeline? etc..
A bit of code would help: ie -how does it start playing in first place?

hopefully this will help (I'm a bit of a novice with actionscripting).
I use this for the sound loop, placed on the first frame of the movie:
s = new Sound();
s.attachSound("mySound");
s.start(0, 999);
I use this for the sound effect, placed every 20 frames in a movieclips timeline:
t = new Sound();
t.attachSound("mySound2");
t.start();
to stop the sounds, I'm using this, but it only stops the loop:
on (release) {
s.stop();

t = new Sound(); t.attachSound("mySound2");
t.start();
So,have that movieclip stop so the sound will not be called again, and use:
t.stop();

My previous post must have been cut off. But on the "sound off" button I use:
on (release) {
s.stop();
t.stop();
}
The problem (I think) is that the sound effect is being called 6 times in the timeline. The "sound off" button will stop the sound effect only if it's currently playing. Then, once it's called again in a couple seconds later, it will play.

If that clip stops looping the sound will not be called again

I figured it out. I put a set volume on the first frame and then set the volume to zero on the "audio off" and it worked just fine.
Thanks so much for the help!
Enjoy the holidays!
