creating a mute button for video in as3

May 11, 2009 9:42 PM

I would like to create my own mute button in as3. I have created a video object which plays my video fine. I'm having trouble finding information on how to create a mute button that mutes the audio but the video continues to play. All documentation that I've read relates to controlling sound from an loaded .mp3 file. Does anyone know how I can do this? The gotoandlearn.com site explains it using as2 only.

Thanks

    the videoplayer class has a volume property that you can assign to 0 when you want to mute sound.

    Volume property of the videoplayer class... I don't know how I missed that one. Thanks!

    I've been using the O'Riley books for AS3 reference and I don't recall reading that. It is documented in the free Adobe Flash Help.

     

    Thanks again for your help!

    how do you access the volume property?

     

    var myVideo:Video = new Video(320,240);

    myVideo.volume(0);

     

    doesn't seem to work.

    you're not using the videoplayer class.

     

    you're using the video class so you must be attaching a netstream instance.

     

    your netstream instance has a soundTransform property that can be used to control volume.

    I'm beginning to see... since I'm already using the video class, I'll look more into the soundTransform property. BTW, from your experience, is one better than the other? I want to be able to build my own video controls (pause,play,seek,mute,etc.)?

     

    Thanks

    I figured it out:

     

     

    sound_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, soundOFF);

    function soundOFF(e:MouseEvent) {

         var transform:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform();

         transform.volume = 0;

         stream.soundTransform = transform;

    }

     

     

    Thanks for all your help on this. You'll probably see more of my post as I struggle with AS3 and my flash project.

    NetStream.recieveAudio(false) is another one method
