hey guys. i need to be able to add some lingo to a flash button. the lingo needs to establish the global sound setting for multiple .dxr movies, and keep the initial volume at whatever its settings are in the director dxr files, then call to, or go to, or play the actual dxr file. but i need this done within flash.

in director, this is what works:

global initialvolume

on mouseUp me
initialvolume=sound(1).volume
go to movie "CREDIT.DXR"
end


this does the job perfectly. however, i have created flash drop down menus and i need to apply this same script to the flashbuttons and have it control the dxr file, so the sound level that the user sets remains the same.

help!!!

i have this on a flashbutton now, and it works, however this only calls and plays the dxr file, it doesn't keep the sound level at the global setting in director: here's what i have now:

on ( release ) {
tellTarget ("_root") {
getURL ("lingo: play movie \"CREDIT.DXR\"");
}
}

this plays the dxr movie from the flash button.

i need to know how to add in and keep the global sound script in director, into the flash button script.
nothing i've tried works.
i hope i didn't confuse the hell out of you guys here.

thanks a lot in advance for your help.
