Hi all

I would like to ask, how can I adjust the volume for the video playback ?  
here is the code

```auto
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
video.attachNetStream(ns);
/ **************************
video.volume(0);
************************** /
ns.play("video.flv");

```

thanks

I think what they mean about the displayobjectcontainer, is that once the Video object is added to the stage into a displayobjectcontainer (eg stage, sprite1, etc) you can then control the sounds for the whole displayobject container, rather than just the Video object.

eg  
\_sprite = new Sprite();  
addChild(\_sprite);  
\_video = new Video();  
\_sprite.addChild(\_video);  
\_sprite.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(0.5);

vs \_video = new Video();  
addChild(\_video);  
\_video.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(0.5);

Only time I could see this being prefered is if you had several sound-emitting objects on one displayobjectcontainer and you wanted them all to change volume/panning the same.

Hope that helps!
