Changing Media Player volume?

Hi,

I'm currently using the latest KM 7.x and using one of the "iPod" media player skins for our sample music clips.

This works quite well, but one thing we have noticed is that the volume level of the playback is lower than what we would like. Not terrible but lower than we would like.

The clips are recorded and post produced at levels that are just below clipping so increasing the levels in the mp3 files is not an option.

There does not appear to be a volume/level control on the player skins that I've sampled.

I was wondering if there is a way to change the volume level of the media player to bring it up closer to the levels that we see from other sites with Flash based media players?

Thanks,
Burt

What player skins are you referring to?


I'll let Wilbert handle this but I do see in the documentation for the mediaplayer class that the volume can be set

-------------

soundTransform property

soundTransform:SoundTransform [read-write]

A SoundTransform object can be assigned to the soundTransform property to set volume and balance.
Implementation
public function get soundTransform():SoundTransform
public function set soundTransform(value:SoundTransform):void

There's a gui option for the media players named "Starting volume" that is set to 70 initially. Change it to 100 if you want the maximum volume.

Thanks,

I totally missed the GUI initial volume setting for some reason.

would like to know how I can use the
set soundTransform(value:SoundTransform):void
with a mediaplayer?

I want to create controls for volume that are not part of mediaplayer skin

soundTransform is a mediaplayer property.
If you want a volume of 60%, you can simply do it like this

mediaplayer1.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(.6);

brilliant! thanks for that.

My understanding of AS3 is limited to function calls, variables and cut and pasting code snippets. I do not understand the syntax for such as 'public properties', 'public methods', 'events' - so reading the koolmoves API I could see 'soundTransform' but had no idea how to implement it.

I also noticed there is lower case 's' for the first term ('soundTransform') then upper case 'S' for the second..

soundTransform = new SoundTransform

ANYWAY....wondering one other thing....

how can I assign an event listener to a Koolmoves GUI slider to become a volume slider? (for mediaplayer also)


much appreciated

SoundTransform with the upper case 'S' is the class.
With the 'new' keyword you create a new instance of the class that is assigned to the soundTransform property of the mediaplayer component.

The easiest way to use the GUI slider is like this

slider1.onScroll = function(){
mediaplayer1.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(this.scrollPosition / 100);
}

thanks Will,

I didn't specify, global volume also?


cheers

Try assigning to
SoundMixer.soundTransform
