Simple Volume Control

What does line [volBtn.gotoAndStop("OFF");] accomplish from sound control stand point? Do you have a code in the frame "OFF"?

I don't see in the code snippet anything that manipulates volume.

The code I suggested should reside, perhaps, in the same scope where your NetStream is.

texjgc,

The sound for the video is always part of the file - this is understood.

How can anyone tell if you are doing right or wrong thing if we don't see your code?

The approach I posted works all the time and using SoundTransform is the only way to manipulate video sound.

Well, unfortunately there is no way around learning AS3 and understanding of documentation, which is actually, very clear when AS3 concepts are grasped.

In your case, soundTransform is a property of NetStream - not a separate entity. So, if, say, you name your NetStream variable myNetStream:

var myNetStream:NetStream = new NetStream();

then you can manipulate its sound. In your function the mistake is that you attempt to call SoundTransform method on your button - not your NetStream. Unless the button has this method (or property) - it will not work.

Sound volume is a method of a separate class SoundTransform. So, you need a separate variable for it.

Another thing is that SoundTransform (with capital S) is a class name - not method name. Method starts with the lower "s".

I guess you functionality has to be rewritten:

var myNetStrem:NetStream = new NetStream();
var mySoundTransform:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform();

function btnVolume(e:Event):void{
mySoundTransform.volume = 0;
myNetStream.soundTransform = mySoundTransform;
}

to make the same function to do two things you can write a two-state switch:

function btnVolume(e:Event):void{
mySoundTransform.volume = 1 - mySoundTransform.volume;
myNetStream.soundTransform = mySoundTransform;
}

So, if the volume is 1 - it will become 0, if it is 0 - it will become 1.
