Sounds like you didn’t read my reply carefully. It all hinges on what version of ActionScript you’re using.

Thanks A Million!!

I get this error:

The class or interface ‘SoundTransform’ could not be loaded.

The code you’re showing in your second post is all ActionScript 2.0, so it’s going to break 8,000 ways when you try to compile it in a file configured for AS3.

AS3 is significantly different from AS2 in regard to handling events. AS3 doesn’t allow you to attach your code to the button (or to any object), so you’ll have to give your button an instance name, like you’re doing in that sample code.

But there’s another difference, and that’s that AS3 doesn’t use onRelease, etc., like you’re showing. You’ve also got a problem in that you’re using SoundTransform as a method (no sign of that volume property) … here’s how it might look, in AS3:

var xform:SoundTransform;
muteBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMute);
nomuteBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onNoMute);

function onMute(evt:MouseEvent):void {
  xform = ns.soundTransform;
  xform.volume = 0;
  ns.soundTransform = xform;
}
function onNoMute(evt:MouseEvent):void {
  xform = ns.soundTransform;
  xform.volume = 1;
  ns.soundTransform = xform;
}

As for AS2 … check out “How to Adjust the Audio Portion of Flash Video.” Horse of a different color!

var duration:Number = 0;
var ratio:Number = 0;
var id:Number = 0;

var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
videoPlayer.attachVideo(ns);
ns.play(”BTLMovie.flv”);

ns.onMetaData = function(evt:Object):Void {
duration = evt.duration;
ratio = track._width / duration;
id = setInterval(updateKnob, 50);
};

ns.onStatus = function(evt:Object):Void {
if (this.time > 0 && this.time >= (duration - 0.5)) {
gotoAndPlay(6);
trace(”Video complete”);
clearInterval(id);
delete this.onStatus;
}
};

function updateKnob():Void {
knob._x = track._x + ns.time * ratio;
}

knob.onPress = function():Void {
clearInterval(id);
ns.pause(true);
var vertical:Number = track._y + (track._height / 2);
this.startDrag(
true,
track._x,
vertical,
track._x + track._width,
vertical
);
}

knob.onRelease = function():Void {
this.stopDrag();
ns.seek((this._x - track._x) / ratio);
ns.pause(false);
id = setInterval(updateKnob, 50);
}
knob.onReleaseOutside = knob.onRelease;

btnPause.onRelease = function() {
ns.pause(true);
}

btnPlay.onRelease = function() {
ns.pause(false);
}

am i adding this script to the actual button or to the rest of my AS?

muteBtn.onRelease = function() {
ns.SoundTransform(0);
}

nomuteBtn.onRelease = function() {
ns.SoundTransform(100);
}

In AS3, the NetStream class features a soundTransform property, which lets you hook into a SoundTransform instance associated with your video content.

The SoundTransform class features a volume property. So you can use your button to set that property to 0, then set it back to 1 (i.e., 100% volume) later.

I have 1 button for mute on/off

In my experience, the size if the video is determined by the parameters you pass into the Video constructor. When I do this, for example:

var vid:Video = new Video(320, 240);

… I get a video that’s 320 x 240, even if the actual FLV is bigger. It should be happening for you. Is your Video object somehow getting masked?

In current configuration I ged only top left corner of a video
