If you are still scratching your head trying to grasp the concept and structure of Actionscript 3, then this tutorial will help you get your feet wet. This Flash tutorial is great for users looking to begin using sound with Actionscript 3.0. It touches on the basics of sound integration and breaks its functionality.
It will basically walk you through creating your music player then followed by adding a volume control slider. This walk through consists of two individual tutorials created by Craig Campbell.
Create the Music Player
Essentially, what you have here are two buttons, start and stop. The buttons control a remote music file that the music player is accessing via the new sound object within AS3. Note: This simple music player was built to handle any one mp3 at a time.
Add a Volume Slider Control
Ok now the music player is in place. Next is a tutorial to add a volume slider to the existing music player.
Overall, this is a nice start for beginner users of Actionscript 3.0. This music player can easily be added to a personal site, blog, and even a MySpace page. Use this to get you started, then see where that will take. Enjoy! Read the full story
