Set up a Invisible Frame in a Frameset:

<FRAMESET ROWS="100%,*" FRAMEBORDER="0" FRAMEBORDER="NO"
FRAMESPACING="0">
<FRAME SRC="Flash1.htm" NAME="Flash" MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0"
BORDER="0" SCROLLING="NO">
<FRAME SRC="NoSound.htm" NAME="Sound" MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0"
BORDER="0" SCROLLING="NO">
</FRAMESET>

NoSound.htm
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>No Sound</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

Sound.htm
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Midi Sound1</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<EMBED SRC="xmas.mid" HEIGHT="5" WIDTH="20" autostart="true"
loop="true">
</embed>
</BODY></HTML>

Use a getURL Action from Flash to turn the sound on and off by
alternately loading Nosound.htm or Sound.htm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Christmas 97 Movie is a prime example of this Midi technique except
it is done with a 1% sound frame This is done for testing so that the
Sound frame appears as a red or green horizonal line at the bottom. Red
if there is the Midi sound is off and Green if Midi sound is turned on.

You could also do this using JavaScript using
FSCommand techniques or
JavaScript: protocol (causes errors and doesn't work with IE3)

Neither JavaScript method work with all Flash capable browsers as does
the HTML method.
