Mute and unmute button is actionscript 3.0

[Guest]

Hi,

I am wondering how to make a mute and unmute button is actionscript 3.0.  I did it before in actionscript 2.0 but not in 3.0.

Here is my actionscript 2.0 code.

var sound = 1;
var slashMC = _root.attachMovie("slash","slash01",99);
slash01._visible = false;
slashMC._y = btn._y;
slashMC._x = btn._x;
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.attachSound("Gravy");
s.start(1,999);
btn.onPress = function(){
 if(sound==1){
  s.stop();
  slash01._visible = true;
  sound = 0;
 }
 else if(sound==0){
  sound = 1;
  slash01._visible = false;
  s.start(1,999);
 }
}

Thanks

You could try something like this:

private function changeSound(event:MouseEvent)
{
    var st:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform();
    if(soundOn)
    {
        st.volume = 0;
        SoundMixer.soundTransform = st;
        soundIsOn = false;
    }
    else
    {
        st.volume = 1;
        SoundMixer.soundTransform = st;
        soundIsOn = true;
    }
}

small correction to your code:

private function changeSound(event:MouseEvent)
{
    var st:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform();
    if(soundIsOn)
    {
        st.volume = 0;
        SoundMixer.soundTransform = st;
        soundIsOn = false;
    }
    else
    {
        st.volume = 1;
        SoundMixer.soundTransform = st;
        soundIsOn = true;
    }
}

Hi,

Where do I put the code.  Do I put it in frame 1.

Thanks

[xchanin]

You can put it in frame one, on a seperate layer though. Also, if you're adding this to the timeline, take off the private part of the funciton.

I put the code in frame one.  How do attach the sound because I dont hear the sound.

Thanks

My code now looks like this.  I removed private from private function...

var soundIsOn = true
function changeSound(event:MouseEvent)
{
    var st:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform();
    if(soundIsOn)
    {
        st.volume = 0;
        SoundMixer.soundTransform = st;
        soundIsOn = false;
    }
    else
    {
        st.volume = 1;
        SoundMixer.soundTransform = st;
        soundIsOn = true;
    }
}

[Guest]

[Guest]

Here is another version.

var soundIsOn=true;
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changesound);
{
function changeSound(event:MouseEvent) {
  var st:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform();
  if (soundIsOn) {
   st.volume=0;
   SoundMixer.soundTransform=st;
   soundIsOn=false;
  } else {
   st.volume=1;
   SoundMixer.soundTransform=st;
   soundIsOn=true;
  }
}
};

the code provided before is ONLY for the mute functionality you need to create your soundobject as well.

Try this:

    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.media.*;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;

        var isPlaying:Boolean = false;
        var snd:Sound = new Sound();
        var channel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
        var pos:Number = 0;
        var soundVolume:Number = 1;
    
            snd.load(new URLRequest("something.mp3"));
            btn_Stop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopMusic);
            btn_Stop.buttonMode = true;
           
            btn_Play.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMusic);
            btn_Play.buttonMode = true;
        
       
         function stopMusic(evt:Event):void
         {
            channel.stop();
            pos = 0;
            isPlaying = false;
         }
        
         function playMusic(evt:Event):void
         {
            if(!isPlaying)
            {
                channel = snd.play(pos);
                btn_Play.visible = false;
                btn_Pause.visible = true;
                isPlaying = true;
            }
         }
    }
}

Hi,

Thanks for the code.  I will look it over and post what happens.  Sorry about the delay.
