How do I set volume?

1

How to I set the volume of an mp3 when it first loads on to page? I’m not concerned about making a volume bar I just want to make the volume lower.

this is how I have set up my music at the moment:

var s:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("5.mp3"));
var sc:SoundChannel = s.play(0, 99);
sc.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(0.1,-0.2);
2

s.volume = int;

replace int with a number of your choice, try .3

thanx alot

4

no probs man, let me know if it works

5

it didn’t work came back with this error.

Access of possibly undefined property volume through a reference with static type flash.media:Sound.

sc.volume = 0.3; is how i put it in.

6

try just .3, without the 0

Try sending the SoundTransform object to the play function:


var s:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("5.mp3"));
var st:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform(0.3, -1);
var sc:SoundChannel = s.play(0, 99, st);

Or you could try:

var st:SoundTransform = sc.soundTransform;
st.volume = volume;
sc.soundTransform = st;

Where volume is some number between 0.0 and 1.0 - whether you have a leading 0 in front of the decimal point is up to you - it’s just for readability. Personally, I always prefer them because it makes seeing a number less than 1.0 easier :slight_smile:
