I have a loaded SWF file in \_level1 that has audio in the timeline. I am trying to control the volume of this loaded SWF with a ‘mute’ button in the main SWF file. On the first frame I’m using the code:  
**my\_sound = new Sound(\_level1);**  
and then on the button script I have:  
**mute\_btn.onPress = function(){  
my\_sound.setVolue(0);//mute volume**  
**}**  
but it’s not working. Am I missing something? Is the **new Sound(\_level1)** not valid?
