Need some help here.

Id like to increase the volume of a sound loop gradually as the  
mouse gets closer to a button or mc, and decrease the volume  
as the mouse moves away.

Im a bit of a beginner to actionscript, Ive found one tutorial that  
is basically what im going for, but it doesnt provide the fla, so  
i couldnt figure it out. its here:

Can someone explain. Its for a school project. Thanks.
