I have a page that has 5 buttons on it that load swf’s into empty movieClips to play.

All of these buttons make a sound and play a (short) mp3 on the “over” stage of the button.

I need to have when the swfs are playing the button sounds are turned off until the swf is stopped. Then once it has stopped the button sounds are again active. (the button sounds are a bit distracting and over power the swf sounds).

Any thoughts? Thanks.
