sound off doesnt work

[tarapan]

hi, I've put this within a MC, but the attached sound on main stage won't go off. I suspect it has something to do with Depthswapping of my MC's. Anyone?????


on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(81);
}
on (release) {
_root.depth++;
this.swapDepths(_root.depth);
}
on (press) {
if (playing==true) {
_root.mySound.stop("main");
playing=false;
}
}

Do you want the mc snd to turn off??
Target that MC

snd1 = new Sound(snd_mc);


_root.snd1.stop();

[tarapan]

noop that already works.. i wanna turn the main stage sound off

[green_eye]

stopAllSounds();
That will stop all playing sounds not just
a snd

hi.
sorry to butt in.
i've tried the stopAllSounds thing before (and got it to work)
but does it have an opposite?
i've tried startAllSounds, BeginAllSounds etc (my imagination ran dry after that)

is there an opposite to stopAllSounds?

[green_eye]

No
What are you trying to do?

[brokenToken]

i'm being lazy.

i know that the best thing to do would be to commit to learning the actionscript that governs sound but i was looking for an easy way out.

ie. onrelease stopallsounds
onrelease startallsounds

to make a simple sound toggle
my site is www.nobodypolitic.com
and i think its nice to have the background music but nicer still to be able to turn it off or even change it

why not just set volume to 0 when button is clicked and when other button is clciked set volume to the property of the sound
like if it was just one button and press it to toggle

code:

---

soundon = true;

on(press) {

if(soundon) {

_root.mySound.setVolume(0);

soundon = false;

}

if(!soundon) {

_root.mySound.setVolume(100);

soundon = true;

}

}

---

not sure if that will work but its worth a try

[brokenToken]

nice one joejoe, i'll give that a bash

cheers!

call the snd from server

snd1 = new Sound();
snd1.loadSound("your.mp3", true);
you can NOT stream a wav file
