I’d like to use a slider to control the volume of the background music on my flash site. I would like the background music to stream, so the user does not have to click on a play button to initiate the sound.

This tutorial would work great, if I could customize is for my needs:

What I change the AS to streaming:

[FONT=Courier New]onClipEvent (load) {[/FONT][SIZE=2][COLOR=#808080]  
[/COLOR][/SIZE][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#ff6600] mySound = new Sound();  
mySound.loadSound(“sound2.mp3”, true);[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=2][COLOR=#808080]  
[/COLOR][/SIZE][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]}[/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=2][COLOR=#808080]  
[/COLOR][/SIZE][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]onClipEvent (enterFrame) {[/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=2][COLOR=#808080]  
[/COLOR][/SIZE][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#336600] downloaded = mySound.getBytesLoaded();  
total = mySound.getBytesTotal();  
if (downloaded != total) {  
\_root.dl = “downloading song…”;  
} else {  
complete = 1;  
\_root.dl = “”;  
}[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=2][COLOR=#808080]  
[FONT=Courier New] [/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff] mySound.setVolume(\_root.volume);[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=2][COLOR=#808080]

[FONT=Courier New]There are two problems…Altough it streams successfully, the mp3 stops looping and you have to drag the slider over the the right to hear it initially…[/FONT]

[FONT=Courier New]Does anyone have some simple mods to this tutorial, to let it control background music? It think it would be a hand tool for alot of ppl.[/FONT]
