volume question

[Sue]

I should add at this point that the code sound(1).volume = 0 works.

What I actually should have been asking is, "How do I turn off the sound in
a QuickTime movie?" I've tried member("quicktime movie").volume = 0 which
doesn't work, and sprite(3).volume = 0, which also doesn't work.

I wanted to put this code on a button and am using a mouseUp event to call
them.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
S

goto to the properties for the quickTIme movie in your cast and you can
untick the boxes which should be

image, audio, loop, DTS (direct to stage), paused at start

sprite(2).audio = FALSE
member("whatever").audio = FALSE

try that... if audio doesn't work try

sprite(2).sound = FALSE

audio is suppose to be Real Media specific... but sometimes stuff like that
works on other media!

sound off and on... easy..

set the soundLevel to 0 (min)

set the soundLevel to 7 (max)

this kills all sound...
