I'm sorry for taking so long to reply. But please do send me a .fla showing how to toggle on/off sound. thanks a lot!

For anyone else with the same question, here's the basic theory.

Make a movie clip with two labels, on and off, at say frame 1 and frame 10.

Place your music in frame 1, looping it 999 times, and a Stop action in frame 9. Place a "Stop all sounds" command in frame 10, and a Stop command in frame 20.

In addition, place a button in frames 1-9. This will be your "music off" button. On Release, it should "Go To and Play" label "off." In frames 10-20 place an identical (or at least similar) button which, On Release, "Goes To and Plays" label "on."

Bring that movie into your main scene, and you should be good to go.

I need your e-mail address.
I checked your profile and did not list your e-mail address.

I agree with you erlenmeyer71 but whats happen when stop your sound and go into an other scene an come back again... does the sound start automaticly than ?
Isn`t it a better way to put you sound into anoteher swf and load that movie into an seperat layer?
so your swf wil be much smaler.

cheers
