I’m in desperate need of some help!! I’m almost done with this project and my deadline is today but I can’t get the sound clip working right!!! Can somebody help me? I’ve done attachSound and given it a name but when I try to mute it, it either doesn’t work @ all or mutes everything. Somebody please help?!?

As you can see if you click mute then all sound stops… ☹ Not cool

Somebody please please help me?!?

Thanks,

Make the sound a load movie on it’s own level and the when you want to mute that sound you can load an empty MC on to that level.

could you not make two sound objects, load them into empty movie clips in different levels, and use the stop or setVolume() to “mute”?

\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“mySound\_mc”, 10);  
mySound= new Sound(mySound\_mc);  
mySound.loadSound(“name.mp3”, true);

and use a button or whatever,

myButton.onPress=function(){  
mySound.setVolume(0);  
}

or

myButton.onPress=function(){  
mySound.stop();  
}

I believe if you create 2 different sound objects  
( iam guessing you have background music and incidental sound) you can mute one and have the other still playing.

I hope this helps,

How can I check to see if a “mySound” is playing or not? Like checking for it with an if/else statement?
