Muting the Background Music

Have a little respect for other people's tastes. You may feel your background melody sounds wonderful, but it may grate on your visitors' ears. So it is a good idea to include an option to mute the sound.

  1. Create a button called "Mute musical background".

  2. Select the button and choose Modify > Instance.

  3. The Instance Properties dialog box appears.

  4. Click on the "+" button located under the Actions tab.

  5. Select Stop All Sounds in the command list which appears.



Figure 4: Stop all sounds

Position the button "Mute musical background" in a clearly visible location so that the user can easily cut the music.
