[F8] onrelease - fade out sound

[WWFC]

morning all!

need some help on something here if possible so am hoping that someone can tell me how to do the following.

I have a number of mc's on my stage that can be clicked and dragged around - I want each mc to play one of four random sounds when clicked and dragged - but then I want the sound that is playing to fade out when the mouse is released. I have got it working with the stopallsounds function - but I would like the sounds to fade rather than stopping abruptly.

here is my code

//create an array to hold all the sounds
var sound_explosions_array:Array = Array();

//create a sound object
var explosion01_snd:Sound = new Sound();
//attach sound from library
explosion01_snd.attachSound("explosion01");
//add sound to array
sound_explosions_array.push(explosion01_snd);


var explosion02_snd:Sound = new Sound();
explosion02_snd.attachSound("explosion02");
sound_explosions_array.push(explosion02_snd);

var explosion03_snd:Sound = new Sound();
explosion03_snd.attachSound("explosion03");
sound_explosions_array.push(explosion03_snd);

var explosion04_snd:Sound = new Sound();
explosion04_snd.attachSound("explosion04");
sound_explosions_array.push(explosion04_snd);

//play random explosion
function playExplosion():Void{
	//get random number based on sound array length
	var randomNum:Number = random(sound_explosions_array.length);
	//create a temporary sound object
	var random_sound:Sound = sound_explosions_array[randomNum];
	//tell temporary sound object to play
	random_sound.start();
	//trace
	currentSound_txt = "Playing Sound "+randomNum;
}

//make container_mc a button, play explosion sound on click
container_mc.onPress = function(){
	playExplosion();
}
container_mc.onRelease = function(){
	StopAllSounds();
}

i guess this is the relevant line to edit

//make container_mc a button, play explosion sound on click
container_mc.onPress = function(){
	playExplosion();
}
container_mc.onRelease = function(){
	Stopallsounds();
}

but how do i write that last line to make it fade??

Anyone know? I have found a few bits n' bobs on the net - but they all seem to be for transitions of one sound to another - I don't need it to be quite so sophisticated, just a case of release mouse - sound fades.

Anyone put me right on this please?

Maybe you can make use of this code, I lifted it from a template file and I think it does the same thing your asking for.

onClipEvent (load) {
    _root.snd = 100;
    cur = _root.snd;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    if (cur>_root.snd) {
        cur -= step;
    } else if (cur<_root.snd) {
        cur += step;
    }
    _root.globalsound.setVolume(cur);
}
