Ok, I’m brain dead.  
That out of the way…

I’ve looked at all the messages in the forums and the tutorials.  
I used [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/sound.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/sound.htm)  
tutorial and made a working button to START the sound. This method is the simplest. Can’t stop the sound yet.

Given that tutorial, what’s the simplest way to complete the audio toggle on/off task?

I don’t need anything elaborate. Just the basic toggle button.

Thanks all

Got my act together.  
Works now. Figured it out on my own.

Modifies Kirupa’s code to read as follows:

on (release) {  
if(!music){  
music=true;  
kirupaSound = new Sound(this);  
kirupaSound.attachSound(“coolsound”);  
kirupaSound.start(0, 99);  
}  
else {  
music=false;  
stopAllSounds();  
}  
}

Works fine!!

Thanks Kirupa.
