I saw another thread here that used the method of:

```php

myAS2swf.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(0);

```

Apparently that is supposed to just mute the AS2 swf and give it the appearance of it being stopped. I cannot get it to work for some reason.

I’ve added my loader to a movie clip called swfHolder:

```php

swfHolder.addChild(swfLoader); //---swfLoader = my loader class

```

when I remove the SWF, I do:

```php

swfHolder.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(0);

```

That is what isnt working. Either I am doing it wrong or this method just doesnt work…

Any other solutions for stopping sound in a AS2 swf loaded from AS3?
