Of all the sound using apps I have, Flash is the only one that *doesn't* let me adjust the sound level *for that app*. Quicktime? I can lower the volume from within Quicktime and not have to adjust the master volume control. The DVD player? iTunes? Yup. Even RealMedia and WindowsMedia players? Yup. Flash? Nope. Gotta blare at whatever master volume I have set. -spc (Heck, I'd be happy if I could mute Flash ... )
