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>

have to also introduce a volume control into their interface.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

part of the media control bar that is displayed when a movie or sound file is

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>
