I am using the following code to mute sound in a flash file - basically turning the volume to 0 or 1.

It works fine until I go to a different scene. Once I load a new scene the button no longer works.

I know it will be something stupid that is causing this, however, I am too stupid to figure it out unfortunately!!

var soundOn:Boolean = true;  
onoff\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,toggleSound);  
//onoff\_btn.buttonMode = true;  
function toggleSound(e:MouseEvent)

{  
var s:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform();  
if(soundOn)  
{  
// turn sound off

s.volume=0;  
SoundMixer.soundTransform=s;  
soundOn=false;  
//onoff\_btn.gotoAndPlay(1);  
}  
else // sound is off  
{  
// turn sound back on  
s.volume=1;  
SoundMixer.soundTransform=s;  
soundOn=true;  
//onoff\_btn.gotoAndStop(1);  
}  
}
