I read the tutorial on how to make a volume control slider, but I don’t know what to do if I want the sound to play after it’s loaded, not wait for the user to press ‘play’, and start at a different point in the slider, instead of volume = zero.

I want the sound to play  
• automatically just after it’s loaded  
• at a certain volume (not volume = zero)

I just answered the second question about an hour ago:

To play the sound automatically, define the [font=courier new]onLoad[/font] event and call the [font=courier new]Sound.start()[/font] method.

```auto
mySound.onLoad = mySound.start;

```
