How to Control the Sound Volume in Flash 8

Set the volume of sound in Flash.

Flash 8 is a Web-based application authoring tool. Your Flash applications can have sound on them by simply importing your sound to the Library and creating a new ActionScript object in the first frame of your movie. Your sound's volume can then be controlled using the sound object's "setVolume()" method.

Instructions

1. Open Flash and create a new ActionScript 2.0 document by clicking "File," "New," "Flash ActionScript 2.0 Document."

2. Create a new sound by adding the following two lines to the first frame of your movie:
   mySound = new Sound();
   mySound.loadSound("sound2.mp3", false);

   Change "sound2.mp3" to the name of the sound file in your Library.

3. Set your sound's volume use the following line of code:
   mySound.setVolume(50);

   You can input any number between 0 and 100 inside the parenthesis (0 being inaudible and 100 being the loudest the sound file plays) to set how loud the sound file plays.
