Yes, but he has created a separate Sound object for each sound
(sound1 and sound2), so he's fine in that respect.
What would make this simpler, however, is to write a function that
creates the sound objects based on the array, while also storing the
initial volume for each sound. Here's an UNTESTED example:
// build the array based on linked sounds in the library ("catMeow" etc.):
var theSounds: Array = ["catMeow" , "dogBark" , "alienScream" , "doorCreak"]
// create a parallel array of sound levels for each sound:
var theVolumes: Array = [50,65,90,5];
// create a sound object for each array element:
for (i=0; i<theSounds.length; i++){
// create the sound object and attach the sound:
this [theSounds[i] + "SoundObject'] = new Sound();
this [theSounds[i] + "SoundObject'].attachSound (this [theSounds[i]);
// create a variable to store the initial volume for each sound:
this [theSounds[i] + "SoundObject'].initVolume = theVolumes[i];
// set the volume for this sound:
this [theSounds[i] + "SoundObject'].setVolume(this
[theSounds[i] + "SoundObject'].initVolume);
}
Where "sound name" is the name of the sound object:
To play a sound, just use ("sound name").start.
To mute it, use ("sound name").setVolume(0);
To restore the volume, use ("sound name".setVolume("sound
name".initVolume). You could construct a function for this where the
only arg would be the sound name.

Sound objects associated with the same movie clip share their
properties (volume, etc.), so if you change the volume through one of
them, the change will be reflected by others, too. That is because in
fact sound properties belong to movie clips and not the Sound objects,
and Sound objects only reflect the sound settings of the associated movie
clip.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Controllingt he volume of multiple sound
objects at the same time
--====----====----====----====----====----====----====----====----====----===--
Hey there. I am trying to control the volume of a number of sound
objects that have their own individual volume levels. I want to be
able to mute them or allow them to play at the volume that has been
set for them. I was thinking that I could do this by storing the
values in arrays and then looping through these each time the sound
is muted/unmuted but I am sure there must be an easier way.
Any suggestsions v gratefully received :)
Here is what I have so far:
var sound1:Sound = new Sound(this);
sound1.setVolume(60);
var sound2:Sound = new Sound(this);
sound2.setVolume(20);
sound1.loadSound('an.mp3', false);
sound2.loadSound('another.mp3', false);
