I have a sound on/off button inside of a movie clip that loads prior to the ‘home state’ It has a sound loop running and can be turned on and off with the button. However, when you turn the sound button off and return to a button state that it was previously running under, the sound starts up again. Can someone tell me how to resolve this?

Thanks!
