muting a streamed sound with a button

[Will Y. webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Another scripting question.

I've got a photo slide show with a soundtrack that is streamed, so it stays syched to the images.

I'd like to have a button set-up that could mute and 'unmute' the sound as it plays. I was thinking of a movie clip with two buttons - 'silence' and 'listen'. The 'silence' button would drop the volume of the sound to zero. The listen button would restore it to 100.

But I just can't it to work.

Is the theory sound? And if so, any help in getting there? I've looked at some similar sound tutorials and tried to rework them to do what I want but I clearly am getting something wrong cuz it doesn't work.

many thanks
will

You can do this with just one button
try this:-

mySound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("sound1.mp3", false);
myButton.onRelease = function() {
(playing=!playing) ? mySound.start(0, 5) : mySound.stop();
};

Certified but not by Macromedia!
