Hi,

I've built a website that displays it's different types of content by loading movies into different levels. Most of the "Content" .swf's have sounds placed on thier timelines, as well as some sounds on the timeline of the main movie. All sounds were added directly to the timelines, rather than being made into objects.

My question is:
Is there any way to make a master "Sound Off/On" button that will Mute/UnMute all sounds on all timelines, even of movies that may not have been loaded yet?

Thanks for any help you can give me!

there is a action command that turns all sound off (you'll have to find it as i havent got flash open) its something like 'soundstop' or something. now as for starting the sounds back up again, thats another matter as you'll have to have a button that communicates with each different swf file as far as im aware. good luck :)
