Control the sounds of silence

InformIT put up a sound tutorial earlier this month that shows how to create a control a couple of sound buttons that mute and unmute audio that is playing from your library. The tutorial is meant as a starting point for new Flash users who want to integrate sound into their projects and want to give their users a little needed control of the audio. New Flashers can extend this tutorial by flipping to the Livedocs at Adobe's site and looking over the Sound object. You can take a user's experience to a whole new level with audio manipulation via balance, fade, volume and even dynamic control. I recommend even browsing the Microphone object to look into ways to create a visual experience that feeds on sounds fed into the user's computer (much like many of us are doing with the Camera object for video controls).
