I just have one simple question, I am making a movie and i was just wondering if i have a BG song playing the whole time how can i get it to be quieter so i can hear the sound effects with more intensity. If you have any solutions that would help a ton.

You wanna use another name than Sound, since Sound is the contructor function of the Sound class. Use mySound or something. Also, you wanna give a target to the Sound file, mySound = new Sound(this);
