Hi All,

I am trying to control the volume of an mp3 that is loaded into my main movie. the volume control is inside a movieclip which is dynamically loaded into the main movie…it won’t work. If I place my volume control button in the main movie, I have no problems.

Is this normal…???

…please help!

thanks guys

</div>

in the main time line of my main movie:

\_root.mysound = new Sound();  
\_root.mysound = loadSound(“track1.mp3”);  
\_root.mysound.start();

in the externally loaded movie clip:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
\_root.mysound.setVolume(0);  
}

should this not make volume 0 as soon as the external movieclip is loaded?

…as well I am not aware of any patches released for MX??
