In the common library on flash mx theres a knob controller… i’m pretty sure Flash MX uses them in one or 2 of their tutorial files… have a look and see

If you make a variable equal to the rotation of the knob mc, you can control the volume with that. Lets say the knob starts on the 9oclock postion, and it rotates 180degress clockwise to 3oclock. Roughly, 2degress can be equal to +1 decibels (not really decibels tho) volume.
