for statement to turn down sound volume

[rickus2009]

Hi all,

I used this (snippet)

for (a=0, a>100, a++); or
for (a=100. a<1. a--);
setVol(a) 

to increase/decrease volume of a sound file by clicking on a button.

It is working in the debug screen and it is working with the actual sound file. But instead of fading in or out, it just goes straight from 0-100 or 100-0 instantly. Is there a way to put a time delay between the counts?

I don't think that you can use a for statement like that, as it executes it all at once..basically..as you found.

Here is one way that you can use a button to fade vol up or down;
on vol up button:

on (press) {
    onEnterFrame= function(){
        myVol++;       // change to  "myVol--;" on vol dn btn
        mySound.setVolume(myVol);
        if(myVol>=100){         // change to  "if(myVol<=0){" on vol dn btn
            delete onEnterFrame;
        }
        trace(myVol)
    }
}
on (release,releaseOutside) {
    delete onEnterFrame
}

good luck

Hi browndrake,

Thanks for your help - much appreciated. I couldn't get yours to work and so modified it a bit and it is working great now.

Thanks again!!

You can just add a longer audio file to it as I had to remove the original audio file to be less than 300kb.

glad you got it working.

just a note: You have to extra closing braces at the end of frames 2 and 10

good luck
