I followed the instruction from this page to create my own Music on/off
button.

http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Audio/Music_On-DarkSlay-884/index.php

I have more than just one scenes in my flash page. When, I turn off the
music in first scene, as soon as it goes to next scene music turns on
automatically. How can I fix this??

Thanks,

I just did it, and it works perfectly, thank you for saving my life. I
must have spent 8-10 hours trying to do this on my own!!

I do have the MX, I wish I hadn't installed the new software either.
Usually newer software make your life easier, but not this one! Probably
there are books that have most of the actions listed, like a reference book.

Thanks
You are the bext,

Hi Urami,
You always know the answers :)
I don't mind doing it a separate SWF, but unfortunately I am not
familiar with "loading to levels". I tried few things on my own but it
keeps giving me errors when I publish!!!
Do you mind giving me more hints. Or even if there is a tech note I
could follow.

I use to know my way around flash 5, but since I installed mx
professional, it looks like actions panel is completely different. Is
flash MX "regular" easier than the "professional" version? I was just
wonder anybody knew.

Thanks again,

You can't really unless you redesign the player entirely.
Scenes are reset once you live them and you can't control
movie clips across scenes so once you left it is like you
start it over when you reenter.
You can place the sound switch in separate swf and load it in level.
The switch is than independent and play or don't play (as you wish)
across multiple scenes w/o being interrupted by the main timeline
activities.

Understandable , the new MX has no longer string formatting and does not
do the actions for you because the action name. All " and ' have to be manually
key in so something as simple getURl action can fail due to lack of it as w/o
quotes it become useless expression instead of string.

Unfortunately both the MX 2004 Normal and MX 2004 Pro change the action editor
and removed entirely the normal mode that use to be around in Flash 5 and Flash MX.
One of reason why so many people stay with MX. The action editor is just beginning,
you soon will find many more things being missing or working differently and not in our
favor.

Assuming you save the sound control as Sound.swf
in the main movie to load the Sound.swf use :

loadMovieNum("Sound.swf", 1);

It will load the sound player on top of the main movie so it will appear across
all the content.
You can name the player stage same size as main movie , in fact make it in the main movie,
in place you like it to be , than just Cut and Paste to new file and save it and load it.
Should be fine .
