programming flash
1

Hi, im completely new to Flash ActionScripting, and pretty much flash in general. Im using SWiSHmax unti I can get used to using Flash MX, anyhow, the scripting is pretty much if not exactly the same (from what I can tell)…

I’m trying to make it so that when you click on the flash the movie pauses (if there is no pause, stop is fine) I would rather it not do either of those and just mute all of the sound I have in the movie (4 different .wav files) I tried using stopallsound() or whatever, but it would only stop the sound currently playing, the next time one got called it would still play. So I would prefer muting the sounds, or second pausing the movie, or worst, stopping the movie. I want it so that after you have clicked to stop the movie(or mute the sounds), you can click again and reactivate the movie (or sound). Like a toggle button except with the entire movie.

I could easily do something like this in another language, but ActionScript is alot … different :stuck_out_tongue:

Thus far I’ve gotton:
on (release) {
if (type = “” || type = “playing”)
var type = “stopped”;
gotoAndStop(1);
}

on (release) {
if (type = “stopped”)
var type = “playing”;
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

I would MUCH RATHER it just mute the sound, but I havn’t got a clue how to do this. Starting and stopping the movie was really my last resort. :frowning:

Also any beginner tutorials on actionscripting, etc would be very helpful if you guys have any :slight_smile: Thanks!
