hi.  
I just used the “creating a volume control slider” tutorial on this site. It’s great. I was wondering if, in your movie, you could preset your audio to begin playing at a low volume, instead of loading and then pausing with the volume completely off.

My question is: How do I have the music start semi-quietly once the .mp3 is fully loaded and still use the volume slider?

thanks.
