I have an flv playing within a movie clip.  
I’m creating a custom mute button. I just want it to turn the sound off, and then another button to turn the sound back on.  
How do I do this?  
Do I have to target the movie clip and then the instance of the flv?  
Is there a way to globally set the volume of everything to 0??  
I would use stopall sounds…but how would I get it back on?

Thanks.
