Hi there,

I followed this nice tutorial [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/volume\_slider.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/volume_slider.htm), but I got a little problem.  
When I want to play another mp3 then the one that is given with the tutorial, it only plays 15 sec. of that song.  
I changed this to the code:

```auto
onClipEvent (load) {
  mySound = new Sound();
  mySound.loadSound("new_song.mp3", false);
}

```

Do I have to make another change to play the whole song?

And another question: is it possible to show the duration and the progress of the song (in sec. or in a progress-bar)?

Thanks a lot,

greetings

I don’t se’e your problem being with volume, but anyway.

```auto

onClipEvent (load) {
  mySound = new Sound(this);
  mySound.loadSound("new_song.mp3", false);
//to start the song
mySound.start(0,999)
}

```

You can always make a progress bar using the duration and position properties of the sound object 🙂

OK, it was an error of my computer that it only played 15 sec. 🙂

And thanks for the URL’s, they helped me out.

No problem 🙂 Just noticed we live in the same country. You live in the German part of Belgium ? ‘Herr’ seems kinda German to me 😉
