[phax]

How the HELL do I "instantiate the sound object using a constructor function to give it a name"

okey, a little calmer now.... but I still can't make this work!


I know how to name a instance, but don't know how to make an instance out of a sound...

Hey, I donno what's your problem here as you have the tutorial but here try this :

- In the Library choose your sound and with the right mouse click choose "Linkage"

- Choose 'Exsport this sympol as' and give it a name, lets say "myMusic"

- Now u can do what u want with that name, errrrrrrr..

Ex.
make a button
put that code in it:

on(release){
mySound = new sound //this is to instantiate your sound
mySound.attachSound(myMusic) // here we attach that sound with our music
mySound.start() // this is to let the music start
}

Now you can make another botton to stop the sound

this is the script on the dragable mc

onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
myPoint = new Object();
myPoint.y = this._y;
myPoint.x = this._x;
_root.groove.globalToLocal(myPoint);
_root.myMusic.setVolume(-1*myPoint.y);
updateAfterEvent(mouseMove);
}



tryed to uploade the .fla but just got a message that it was to big.. even thoug it's just 700k.....


sorry to bother you guys......

It's a long story man, here is the code u put on it but try to find out some tut's to get it well:


put your slider(Slider is the MC and contains the Button) and the other sliding bar in a MC
put that code in the slider MC:

onClipEvent(mouseMove){
myVolume = new Objest()
myVolume.x = this._x
myVolume.y = this._y
_root.slider.globalToLocal(myVolume)
_root.myMusic.setVolume(-1 * myVolume.y)
}
and on the button same as I told you In previous


PS:
I can see that u use the VISUAL QUICKPRO GUIDE book, it's a v good one
