Can't control sound volume individually

[1DMF]

Hi,

Why no matter what I try, i cannot control an individual sound volume?

I've created a blank movie clip named 'Music' and placed it off stage.

I've added this AS on the first frame

	var myMusic = new Sound(this);
	myMusic.attachSound("Muz");
	myMusic.setVolume(50);
	myMusic.start();

The music plays for a split second at the lower volume then continues at full volume.

Else where I have then tried to control the volume with a button with the following code...

_level0.Music.myMusic.setVolume(0);

But it does nothing?

I've hunted for threads and they all say the same, attach the sound to a movie clip, but I've done that and it doesn't seem to work?

I've put a trace on the 'Music' instance and it comes back as

_level0.Music

So I'm definately referencing the movie clip correctly?

Any ideas?

Thanks, 1DMF.

I found you cannot do it if you try to control the sound first before all other sounds.

I got rid of the 'Music' clip idea and found this worked instead, by putting it on the sound control button.

onClipEvent(load)
	{
		_root.soundstatus="on";		
		_root.mySound1 = new Sound(_level0);		
		_root.mySound2 = new Sound(_level1);
		_root.mySound3 = new Sound(_level2);
		_root.mySound4 = new Sound(_level3);
		_root.mySound5 = new Sound(_level4);
		if(_root.myPlay)
		{
			myMusic = new Sound(this);
			myMusic.attachSound("Muz");
			myMusic.setVolume(50);
			myMusic.start();
		 	myMusic.onSoundComplete = function() {
   				this.start();
			};			
			_root.myPlay = false;
		}
	
		maxvolume=50;
		minvolume=0;
	}
	
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
	{
		if(_root.soundstatus=="on") {step=5;}
		if(_root.soundstatus=="off" ) {step=-5;}
		
		maxvolume+=step;
		
		if (maxvolume>50) {maxvolume=50;}
		if (maxvolume<0) {maxvolume=0;}		

			myMusic.setVolume(maxvolume);
			_root.mySound1.setVolume(75);			
			_root.mySound2.setVolume(75);
			_root.mySound3.setVolume(75);
			_root.mySound4.setVolume(75);
			_root.mySound5.setVolume(75);			

	}
