I have 2 buttons called “sound\_on” and “sound\_off”. When these are clicked a sound either stops or starts.

Here is the actionscript code attached to each button:

sound\_on

```auto
on (release){
    x.stop();
    x.start(0,0);
}

```

sound\_off

```auto
on (release){
    x.stop();
}

```

varible “x” is my sound.

I want to add code to hide the dynamic text box when “sound\_on” is pressed and to show the dynamic text box when “sound\_off” is pressed. The name of my dynamic text box is “my\_text”

I have tried this:

```auto

on (release){
    x.stop();
    x.start(0,0);
    my_text._visible = false;
}
}

```

but does not seem to work.

Any help would be great 🙂
