Controling sounds from external swf.

[RazzberryGirl]

Hello,
I'm working on a flash template purchased by a friend. My alterations include loading an external swf file which plays a little movie. The template came with a nice sound loop that I have no trouble stopping with:

on (release) { stopAllSounds(); }

I want the "background music" to stop when the button to load the external swf is pushed, and for it to start up again when the button to close the external swf and "unload" it is pushed. Is there is a way to restart the sound which is on the main timeline once a button is pushed in the external swf?

use a Sound object rather than timeline sound.
Create it as a global sound object and you can control it from any timeline.

Thank you! I will research global sound objects.
