hi

I have just used the tutorial How To Make A Volume Slider  
and was wondering can the flash play .wav files for instance the file name is hardyz.wav

would i just change it to this?

_onClipEvent (load) {  
mySound = new Sound();  
mySound.loadSound(“hardyz.wav”, false);  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
downloaded = mySound.getBytesLoaded();  
total = mySound.getBytesTotal();  
if (downloaded != total) {  
\_root.dl = “\_database loading //”;  
} else {  
complete = 1;  
\_root.dl = “”;  
}  
mySound.setVolume(\_root.volume_2);  
}  
\*

if so I have done this and saved the SWF and it dosn’t play

Even if it did handle .wav’s, your much better with it as an MP3 file because of the file size. There is a program called ‘Cd-ex’ which can convert wav files into mp3 files and visa-versa. It can also rip tracks of a cd, and it is one of my favourite programs. I cant be bothered to find a URL, you can find that yourself. If you have trouble with it, mail me ([kates\_jonny@hotmail.com](mailto:kates_jonny@hotmail.com)) with the wav attached and I can convert it and send it back.
