hi everyone,  
i used this tutorial:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/volume\_slider.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/volume_slider.htm)  
and created a nice looking and workable slider.

the problem now is, that i dont want to hit play and drag  
the slider for the music to start. is there a way to make  
the slider sit at 50% and the music start playing when its done  
loading?  
i tried messing around with the script, but cant make it work.  
any help and suggestions welcome.  
thanx in advance.
