FLVPlayback: disable volumeBar when muteButton is clicked

Hey everybody,

I have an FLVPlayback component setup that has your usual set of controls (volume, seek, play/pause, mute, fullscreen). I did not use any pre-built SWFs – just dropped the individual components from the components panel, attaching them using ActionScript 3 and then styling them.

I would like to have the volumeBar disabled when the mute button is clicked, but I can’t disable any of the UI controls.

I’ve scoured the interwebs and the help documentation and I cannot figure out how to disable a UI control, specifically the volumeBar. Please god, help me before I shoot myself.

(as a former AS2 pro, not knowing how to disable a control via AS3 makes me feel like a retard)
