<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:blue'>If there are a number of sound or movie files with different audio
levels then having one global sound control will not solve the problem of
having to adjust the sound each time you play one of the movies. I don't know
whether there is any way to pass a parameter to the swf that plays the movies
to adjust the initial sound level either louder than default or lower than a
default volume, though that could get complicated.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:blue'>It would be useful to have a volume control, but if it becomes part
of the controls displayed when visual is set to 1 on the interface, then anyone
not using the default interface will have to also introduce a volume control
into their interface.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:blue'>If the volume control could become part of the media control bar
that is displayed when a movie or sound file is played, then this would ensure
that it was available even when the default interface was not used. The snag
here is that it would not be available for swfs where Interactivity was set to
Native swf.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";

in the default interface, but to provide an easy way to embed the volume
control into any custom interface that was being used when interface.visuals =
0.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
