I have three frames in my main timeline. The first contains the preloader, the second is the entrance animation and the third is a menu loop. In the second frame (entrance animation), I’ve place this script on the main timeline in an “actions” layer:
backgroundAudio = new Sound();
backgroundAudio.attachSound(“movieAudio”);
audioVolume=70;
backgroundAudio.setVolume(audioVolume);
backgroundAudio.start(0, 99999);
In the third frame of the main timeline (menu loop), I have controls for the audio (ie. stop, play, volume, etc…) On the volume down button I have this script:
on (release) {
audioVolume=(audioVolume-5);
if (audioVolume<5) {
audioVolume = 1;
trace(audioVolume);
_root.backgroundAudio.setVolume(audioVolume);
_root.gotoAndStop(“loop”);
} else {
trace(audioVolume);
_root.backgroundAudio.setVolume(audioVolume);
}
}
The problem is, the first time I hit either the volume up or down buttons, it acts as though the initial volume is 0. In other words, the value I set for “audioVolume” (70), in the second frame, loses it properties when a button is pressed. It does start playing at 70 though if untouched, and after a button is pressed and it resets to 0, then all buttons function properly, but the first press destroys everything. How do I combat this?
Thanks for your time and help.
