I use an mp3 player that loads external swfs as opposed to actual mp3s. They load just fine, but I can no longer control their volume with my slider. I created a globalsound Sound object that worked when loading mp3s. Does anyone have a way to control the volume of a movieclip?

Anyone? Is this possible?

I hate to be a jerk, and keep bumping this thread, but I just want to know if what I’m trying to do is possible.
