I’m almost done building a full flash site where it navigates by position of timeline.

I just need a simple on/off button for a soundloop to loop and play automatically. the on/off button just simply turns it off (toggle is optional). on it doesn’t have to resume, just start the pool again.

actionscript 3.0 in cs3 please

You could maybe do it something like this. (.fla attached)

```auto
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;

var soundOn:Boolean = true; //music is ON when we start
var myMusic:TitleMusic = new TitleMusic();
var myChannel:SoundChannel = myMusic.play(0,1000); // endless loop, in effect
var myTransform:SoundTransform;

mySoundButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,toggleSound);
mySoundButton.buttonMode = true;
mySoundButton.mouseChildren = false;

function toggleSound(e:MouseEvent)
{
    if(soundOn)
    {
        // turn sound off
        myTransform = new SoundTransform();
        myTransform.volume = 0; // silent
        myChannel.soundTransform = myTransform;
        soundOn = false;
        mySoundButton.myButtonText.text = "click to turn sound ON";
    }
    else // sound is off
    {
        // turn sound on
        myTransform = new SoundTransform();
        myTransform.volume = 1; // full volume
        myChannel.soundTransform = myTransform;
        soundOn = true;
        mySoundButton.myButtonText.text = "click to turn sound OFF";
    }
    
}

```
