Why can't I do volume sliders?

Okay, here’s the deal, I’ve been trying to create a volume slider for about two hours now and it just doesn’t work. I followed Ilyas’ slider tute and Kirupa’s volume control tute both to the letter and now no sound loads, the slider doesn’t control anything and it sticks to the mouse when you let go i.e. it still drags left and right across the slider after you release the mouse button.

I can’t show you my code unfortunately as I just got really angry and wiped it. Sorry.

Could someone please either show me exactly how to load a sound and control it’s volume in one tute (Kirupa uses a different method from the “load sounds using AS” tute to load his sound in the volume tute but he doesn’t explain it. I don’t want his source .fla+mp3.) or make me a .fla that loads a sound called “music” (linkage name) and controls it’s volume.

Sorry to ask for someone to DO this for me but I’ve been trying unsuccessfully for so long now and I can’t identify the problem. I hope you can help me.

TIA
