Playing Flash in ToolBook Instructor DHTML

[leh]

I have the following code to play narration which I have stored in Flash.
I created a radio button to toggle the sound on and off. I set a global
variable to s.

The following is the code.

On click...
Set s to s + 1
If s = 1
Execute extPlay() of Shockwave Flash "Flash Control"; discard return value
Else if s = 2
Execute extStop() of Shockwave Flash "Flash Control": discard return value
Set s to 0
End If

It toggles on the sound but does not turn off the sound. What am I doing
wrong? Thank you.

try something like this
on Click
If s = 1
Execute extPlay() of Shockwave Flash "Flash Control"; discard return value
Set s to 2
Else if s = 2
Execute extStop() of Shockwave Flash "Flash Control": discard return value
Set s to 1
End If

Since s is a global variable set its initial value to 1 and also reset the
value of it to 1 in an on unload page event.

By saving it as 2 separate if statements instead of If...Else if, it then
worked. Go figure...
