attachsound level blues

[podenphant]

I have a movie "mixer.swf". In the movie I have a MC 'volume' that (onClipEvent(load)) attaches a linked sound 'sound1'.

... so far so good

Then I load 'sound2.swf' that hold a linked 'sound2' into _level2.

On a button I wish to attach 'sound2' to the mc 'volume' but I can't seem to get it right!

onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
volume.objSound = new Sound("sound1");
volume.objSound.setVolume(100);
volume.objSound.attachSound("_level2.sound2");
volume.objSound.start(0, 1);
}

What am I doing wrong ... ?
Help will be greatly appreciated

Hi podenphant...I'm a little confused on what you're trying to do when you say you're trying to "attach 'sound2' to mc 'volume'"...

Anyway, I would approach it like this, I think...

In your "sound2.swf" where you have linked 'sound2'...go ahead and create your Sound Object on the main timeline of "sound2.swf"...

objSound = new Sound(this);
objSound.attachSound("sound2");

...the important thing in the code above is using "this" in the Sound constructor...it is necessary to do it this way whenever you use loadMovie on a Sound Object...

...then after you load it into _level2 of "mixer.swf" you can call it on a button or onClipEvent or frame action by...

_level2.objSound.start(0,1);

...or set volume...

_level2.objSound.setVolume(0);

Hope that's what you're looking for...
