OK, I have been at this for about 19 hours straight! I am going to go to bed immediately after this post, but for crying out loud, I have NEVER had this problem before today!
Before anyone reads ahead and says ‘you have to attach your sound object to a completely separate mc to be able to control it independently from all other sound/root volumes.’ see if the following code accomplishes just that:
[COLOR=#993300]_root[/COLOR].[COLOR=#993300]createEmptyMovieClip[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#0000FF]"bgmusic_mc"[/COLOR],[COLOR=#000000]1[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])
[/COLOR][COLOR=#993300]_root[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000000]BGMusic[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#993300]new[/COLOR] [COLOR=#993300]Sound[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]bgmusic_mc[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
[COLOR=#993300]_root[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000000]BGMusic[/COLOR].[COLOR=#993300]attachSound[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#0000FF]"Beats"[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
[COLOR=#993300]_root[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000000]BGMusic[/COLOR].[COLOR=#993300]start[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]0[/COLOR],[COLOR=#000000]9999[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
OK. So now I can say that my sound is in its own clip, thus I should be able to volume fade it out and in without effecting any other sounds, right? (BUZZER!) Wrong!
I have instances of FLVPlayback (four to be exact) in a completely separate mc that are being effected by the fade out/in!
I have been pulling my hair out for the past 5 hours alone trying to solve this simple, stupid, mind-boggling, completely retarded problem!
Hopefully, by the time I wake up, someone will have posted something along the lines of ‘Yes, you are stupid, but I can attribute this to your lack of sleep…this is how I fixed it…’
All I need is for the background music to fade out/in without hindering the volume of the FLVPlayback instances in the Videos mc. Ideally, the sound would automatically stop (and the sound controller advance to frame 5) when entering the Episodes area, but I am sure I can figure that out on my own after some rest. For now, I would be delighted if someone can figure out this little riddle that have been driving me NUTS! :wasted:
Thanks in advance and good day!
