Sound Volume

Its been a while since i've been here.... I'll get straight to the point = ]

setVolume command controls all the volume for every sound, this I know. what i forgot is the way to get around it, so the set volume command only affects one sound.

i remember there was a way. thanks a lot guys.

(using flash MX v6)

You need to associate your sound object with a specific movie clip. So, for example, if you have an empty movie clip on the _root timeline with an instance name of myMovie.

mySound = new Sound(_root.myMovie)

Then, you can change the properties of mySound, and it will only affect sound objects that are associated with that movie.

its still controlling the other sounds.

do the other sounds have to be called up though actions, because the other sound clips is controlling are just on the time line.

also, its not playing the desired sound I want it to play... its not play any sound... = [

code:

---

onClipEvent(load){

	fuzz = new Sound(_root.DL32game.DL32fuz.actions);

	fuzz.attachSound("DL32Sound");

	fuzz.play(0,999);

}

onClipEvent(enterFrame){

	fuzz.setVolume(_parent._alpha);

}

---

No, it shouldn't matter how the other sounds are called. If it's not working, the most common reason is that it cannot find the container movie. Check your path. I usually just put an empty movie on the root level so it's easy to target. If it's playing the wrong sound, I can only recommend that you check the linkage ID in your library.

I was calling up the wrong movieclip.

But its still not playing the sound i want it to play. Its not playing anything

the linkage is correct... isnt it?



forgot... wont work even if the volume is set at 100 from start!

The syntax is right, but only you can check if the linkage is right. Right click the sound in your library and check it there.

Take a look at the picture = ]

i've checked the linkage... is there something im just missing entirley

Sorry, if there's supposed to be a photo there, I don't see one.

really the attachment help.jpg isnt in one of my posts?

fuzz.start(0,999);

use 'start' instead of 'play' for sounds.

hey Kennyb I bet looking at all that sound code every day, make you assume that play would work... I know you were tryin' = ]

Oh well.. ffanks! All we need is luff, in the end ;)

I can't believe I over looked that. Nice catch.
