Do you guys have tasks that are so simple and also so uncommon that you can never remember how to do them? This is one of those for me. I don't usually work on projects that involve sound, but when I do I inevitably want to put a mute button. I *always* manage to forget how to do that though, and have to do a quick search for the answer.

So, with the hopes that next time I forget this it will be written down somewhere I can remember, here is how you adjust the global sound in AS3.

SoundMixer.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(0);

That example mutes all sound within the app. (Well, within the ApplicationDomain, or so I'm told.) All you have to do is access the static SoundMixer class and you're good to go. You also need to create a new SoundTransform object -- simply editing the current one doesn't do much good.
