What a nightmare this is.

I will try and explain what my problem is in as much detail as possible.

I have a main movie into which all other movies load into an empty movie clip. In my main movie I created a seperate movie clip and inserted a sound loop with frames extending the entire length of the sound. I have put no stop actionscript because I want it to loop continually.

Ok, now I go back to my main scene and drag this movie clip to its own layer (it plays ok when I test the movie but there is a two second gap which is annoying, when it comes to the end of the music) Can this be fixed? I didn’t use stream, I used event.

I then made two buttons for turn music off and turn music on. I am not sure what actionscript to put on the turn music on button. I put the following script on the off button as follows:

on (release) {  
stopAllSounds();  
}

This works fine but as I say I don’t know what to do with the on button. how do I turn the music back on?

In fact I would like to know If I am going about all this in the correct way, for example I am not sure if The music should even be placed in a movie clip? Perhaps it should be on the main timeline? I just don’t know.

Any guidance would be most welcome. I have looked for tutorials but none addressed my issues.

I am dark purple with frustration at the moment.

Thank you.
