How do I make a mute button work!

I'm trying to make a mute button. It's currently based on a sprite with 2 animation frames, and is using a boolean to detect states (although I've tried with an integer & a compare frame with no success).

On touch I was trying to get it to test state, switch animation frame & mute the sound. It works when theres only one touch statement pertaining to the 'mute' object in the events panel but not when theres 2. Where am I going wrong? Would it be easier to simply move the 'mute' object off stage and simply replace it with an unmute button? I'm presuming the system is fussing about 2 touch statements on one object...

Why don't you use On Touched Object.

Is Touching will fire every tick as the name applies.

IS TOUCHING. Am I current touching.

Where as On Touched. Implied do something when the Touch first happens.

Good advice, I'll give a try an check the rest of the project as well.

Nup, didn't work. I also tried it as shown below. I'm thinking the editor doesn't like more than one touch test being assigned to a single object. Can anyone confirm?

Even this with 2 seperate objects doesn't work! Nothing happens when I click, but if I disable the unmute touch event then the mute touch event works perfectly!

I'm confused.

Ahah I got it. There was a lot of useful info in this post.

Here's my event, I've reverted back to a single button with 2 frames of animation - works perfectly. Not tested it on mobile yet though.

This is how I got the mute button to work.

The wait for 0 seconds is the key.

Cheers dude, I'll try that out - My version doesn't work when I export to mobile, the music isn't muted.
