Sound ON/OFF Button

Hi All! I have 2 images for a sound icon.. one is off and on. I've watched the tutorial on how to do this but not sure if that only turns off the game music or the music and sound effects all together which I want it to do. Problem I'm having is when I press the button I want it to switch to the graphic of sound of and cut off all the sound completely... but I can't figure how to make it click on the new "nosound" icon I've generated using "change Image" attribute to turn back on the sound and switch the image back to the "soundon" icon. Any ideas? Thanks!

    OH! Otherwise!! I completely forgot about that... thanks so much tshirtbooth! By the way I think your games are top notch! I'm trying to make a missile command game kind of like yours with multiple weapons =) Cheers mate!

    Sorry to bother you again about this tshirtbooth.... I didn't see game.sound off attribute in the drop down menu... is that one I have to type in by hand? And the attribute "device audio music" and "device audio sound" I didn't find those either, do I manually type those in? Sorry, I'm just starting out in this.... again thanks for all your help mate, your tutorials are a lifeline for me =)

    the sound off attribute youll make youself

    and the device audio sound, youll see a device option in the dropdown for attribute. did you miss it by chance?

    Sorry... I'm not 100% on the game.soundoff attribute and how to create it... I know I've seen it in one of your tutorial videos but not sure which one exactly. Can you tell me how to properly create that attribute to apply it to the sound button or send me a link to the vide that covers that? Thanks!

    I did John thanks for helping me with my post... I'm just not sure if I'm doing the game.soundoff attribute corectly. Thanks for replying to my post =)

    youll see an attribute tab at the top left. click that then click the plus sign to add a new attribute. call it soundoff, and you can make it a interger type

    Oops... I was trying to include a screen capture on here to see if the rules and attributes looked correct. Is there a way to do that on here?

    Oooooooh!! OK! Hehehehe sometimes programming is very picky on how you do things... again thanks so much for your help and patients. Hey tshirt... off topic here, any chance you would be willing to do a "work-in-trade" for your missile command tutorial? I'm a killer graphics artist but am complete crap at understanding the programming part even with the simplicity of gamesalad (if you didn't already notice)... judging from your games I doubt it cuz your games look awesome... but never hurts to ask... I'm just very broke. This is a sample of what I'm working on:

    I think youare missing some knowledge of gamesalad fundamentals. I would suggest you start watching all these youtube tutorials, there is a ton of great stuff, including the answer to the main question of this topic.
    http://www.youtube.com/user/GameSaladCookbook

    then take a look at these demos, pick them apart, see how they work:

    if you spend some time and really focus on those, you'll have a great foundation on how to work with GS.
