You'll want the Sound class for that. Works great, and it's easy. :)

stopAllSounds() is good in a pinch, but like youv'e discovered it's
really nothing more than a one-way street. If you associate a Sound
instance with the main timeline, you can set its volume all the way on or
off, and that effectively gives you a global sound toggle.

3. Re: any command opposite of stopAllSounds()?
Thanks, David. I had pretty much reached that conclusion shortly after posting; wishful thinking, I guess. I actually haven't had to do much with audio since working in Flash 5. I wound up just pushing all the various Sound objects into an array, then applying setVolume() to the array. Works just fine. -

That could potentially give you individualized control over each Sound
object, which would certainly do it. Toggling sound globally means you can
do it all in one swoop. That's what I love about ActionScript ... the
flexbility! :)
Glad you found a solution.
