hello there y’all\r\rI have a question… I now know how to put a volume control that can put down a volume sound by means of buttons or scrollers… but what I want to know is how to adjust the volume down a little without 'em. I have this soundclip that is annoyingly too loud for the background music and I want to level it down. Thanks\r\rJohn ---

you can control the volume in the ‘sounds’ panel.\r:) \rjeremy ---

any other suggestion? I swear you can’t just put the volume down with the sounds panel can you? you can change the quality but not the volume level… ---

ok, here it is plain and simple…\r1 - open flash.\r2 - import your sound.\r3 - select a frame.\r4 - open the ‘sounds’ panel.\r5 - select your sound from the drop-down menu.\r6 - click on ‘edit’.\r7 - drag the white square on the left side of each channel of the wave form down to an acceptable level - try halfway.\r8 - click ‘ok’\r9 - test your movie (control+enter).\r\r:) \rjeremy ---

no problem. it’s actually way more complicated then it should be just to change the volume. they should put a ‘half volume’ setting in that drop-down menu.\r:) \rjeremy
