You haven't declared 'vol' as a global in the scripts for the volume up and
volume down.
You can also shorten your scripts like so:
For volume [+]
on mouseUp me
global vol
vol = max(7, vol + 1)
the soundLevel = vol
end mouseUp me
For volume [-]
on mouseUp me
global vol

You need to declare "global vol" at the top of each of your mouseUp
handlers.
Try:
on startMovie
global vol
set vol to 4
set the soundLevel to vol
end
-- for volume [ + ]
on mouseUp
global vol
if vol

I am working on a director prodject that uses puppet sounds. The puppet

but I would like to add a button that would controll the volume of my
puppets?
How do I do this?

Have you tried volumes over 256? 255 is full volume, so to increase the volume you
will need to use volumes over 255. I have
increased volume to 500 or 600 without any distortion (like the books say will happen)
so try somewhere between 400 and 600, that
should work. You can place the sprite
Stephanie,
Do you know that you can permanently boost the volume of a QT movie by
using nothing but the QT Player (the Pro version)? Open it in the Player,
click Movie Info, Sound track, and drag to get up to 200%, then save the
movie (this doesn't really double the volume, but it
Do you mean just the quicktime movie or the director file?? My QTmovie in

If you put the movie somewhere, I can fix it.

I am having a small problem with the volume of 2 QT movies within the dir

Use sprite(x).volume where x is the sprite channel containing your AVI.

Hi Conrad
If you still desire the effect of getting a gradual lowering or increasing
of the volume, then I suggest you make a little modification to your
methodology.

Thanks for all your help. I found that the updateStage is not working, but
as I have it right now, where the volume will lower and increase every time
you click the button is fine with the client. Thank you all for all your help.

As Bhakti said, an updatestage is probabl
try throwing an updateStage inside the loop, after changing the volume.

Thanks for the tip, but when I tried this it made the sound seem like it
just turned off right away without any sort of gradual fade. How would I
make the volume sort of lower when I press the button but not just
completely turn off?

you have the sound in sound channel 1? try the soundLevel. it controlls

Try:

repeat while the mouseDown
member().volume = member().volume -1
end repeat
end
Keep in mind that repeat loop will prevent other interaction from occurring.

Is there a lingo script out there that can lower the volume of a sound
channel while the button is being pressed down?

Right. But you can also get some kind of disklist as well, and step through

With Director 8.0 after 'sound fadeOut' command is executed the volume property
does not come to 0. The value before its execution is still returned. On

is not changed. My workaround is the below
