<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 36pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; COLOR: blue; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 36pt" class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 36pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; COLOR: blue; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 36pt" class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 36pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; COLOR: blue; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 36pt" class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 36pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; COLOR: blue; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Perhaps the optimum solution would be to include the volume control 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></P>
