Is there any way to globally mute all sounds in an application? I have an application with several short, embedded MP3 sound effects plus NetStream video that has audio. Note: In our application play() is executed programmatically via ActionScript for all Sounds and NetStream videos.
My sense is that sound must be controlled on an object by object basis. That is, that there is no global property that can be set to adjust volume for all objects that might play() sounds Can anyone point me to examples using a single property for muting all sounds in an application? In Flex, the top level Application class does have a property soundTransform of type SoundTransform. However, in my experience (ran a few tests), setting the value on this Application-level property does not effect the individual Sound and NetStream instances. The closest I have come to having a global property is adding an instance of SoundTransform as a property of the top level application. Then for the embedded MP3s, having the return value from each Sound.play() execution assigned to an instance of SoundChannel and then immediately assigning the top level app's SoundTransform property as the SoundChannel.soundTransform property. Likewise for the NetStream, after executign NetStream.play() setting NetStream.soundTransform property to the top level app's SoundTransform property. Thanks, g
