hi there,

ive just tried a tutorial of Kirupa for a volume slide feature, take a look:

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/volume\_slider.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/volume_slider.htm)

basically ive done it succesfully except for knowing afterwards that it was being aimed at one partucular sound loop…

is there any adjustment or anything i need to do in order to make this volume slider adjust the volume for all sounds within the swf file??

could someone help me out,…i would really appreciate it!! :thumb:

thnx in advance!! 🙂

Well, I don’t think you can use something like SetGlobalVolume or anything, so try this:

[AS]  
onClipEvent (load) {  
mySound = new Sound();  
mySound.loadSound(“sound2.mp3”, false);  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
downloaded = mySound.getBytesLoaded();  
total = mySound.getBytesTotal();  
if (downloaded != total) {  
\_root.dl = “downloading song…”;  
} else {  
complete = 1;  
\_root.dl = “”;  
}  
mySound.setVolume(\_root.volume);  
sound2.setVolume(\_root.volume);  
sound3.setVolume(\_root.volume);  
sound4.setVolume(\_root.volume);  
sound5.setVolume(\_root.volume);  
//Add all sound objects here to control their volume.  
}  
[/AS]

You actually can use a global to set all the sound volumes i believe. If you just create a new global sound object and dont attach it to anything, controlling the volume on that object should control all the others.
