controling volume of Movie Clip?

[adamr1001]

i know i can can the colume of a 'Sound',

but what about a Movie Clip?

by the way, do dynamically loaded sounds work on all versions of Flash player 6?

i know that the streaming option requires the latest version (so says the popular sound tutorial that has been posted on this board...which by the way is awesome) - but i've been having trouble doing a simple dynamic sound load, even in Event mode.

any ideas?

dynamic sound

Go to the Instance > Sound > edit. Move both bars close to the center or lower then the default settings. This will change the sound level.

i was refering to dynamicaly controlling the volume of a movie lips.. noy sound defined by 'new Sound()', but the volume of a 'movie clip' playing the sound ..

a movie clip does not have a sound property.

it may contain a sound but you cannot access that sound just from the movie clip, you can only access it through the sound object within the clip. so from the main timeline


_root.myclip.mysound etc

 

[flashnut]

my_sound = new Sound();
my_sound.attachSound("song"
my_sound.start();

_root.pauseMe.onRelease = function(){
_root.my_sound.stop();
}
_root.playMe.onRelease = function(){
_root.my_sound.start(_root.my_sound.position/1000);

give your imported song a linkage name of "song"
you need two buttons for play and pause
