Controlling Timeline sound in AS3

Nov 19, 2007 11:05 AM

Hello everyone,
I have a timeline with a sound in it set to sync because I am scrubbing the main timeline....
I now want to control the volume of the sound in the timeline..is that possible in AS3??

sometime like : var my_globalSound:Sound = new Sound(stage);
that of course doesn't work, but how would I get access to the sound set in the timeline...

thanks!

    I think I am having the same problem, but I apologize if I've misunderstood your question.

    I would also like to control a synced sound on the timeline via AS3, but I can't figure out how to find the sound's instance name. There is no option in the Properties window to give it an instance name like I can do with a movie clip. Is there a way to find the instance's name? Is this your underlying problem, too?

    Hi there,

    yes it is, that is exactly what I want to do, I just sayed it in different way :) Infact, I just need to control the volume of all sounds on the timeline... maybe there is a way to just adjust the global sound, there must be an object somewhere to access?

    I've read up on Sound and I must of missed something, because there isn't any examples that I can see that "controls sound on the timeline". I think that SoundMixer and soundTransform is what I am looking for but I cannot make it work.

    Anyone have any examples please?
    thank-you

    For anyone in the same boat:

    SoundMixer.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(0, 0); //volume, pan

    Thanks to all of you I was struggling with the same thing.

     

    The given code work perfectly for me.

     

    SoundMixer.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(0, 0); //volume, pan

     

    My issue: I am loading and external swf file(as3.0) wich have audio on timline and I want volume controller for that audio.
