Say I have a movie with 4 frames, in each frame is a movieclip that contains audio.

At the end of each movieclip I have gotoandstop action that sends it to the movie clip on the next frame.

I want to make a mute button that reduce the volume to 0 and then can be clicked to put the volume back to 100%.

Can I have one button on a layer that extended across all 4 frames and that would control the volume for the entire movie no matter which movieclip/frame is playing?

I used a stop sounds button but as soon as it goes to the next frame/movieclip the sound starts playing again.

From looking at the other posts I know someone will tell me to go read the tute on sound objects but just wondering if that was possible.

thanks!
