>There is an FN in the sounds examples that allows me to change the computer's >sound volume. In in Cave Fox 2001 I originally had the feature to set the >volume and then restore it when the game quit, however when ever a quick time >file was playing, (for the music in the game) changing the volume with the >music playing crashes the computer horribly. Any suggestions? Stopping the >movie then changing the volume does not work either =( Never tried this with a QT movie, but it has worked fine for me otherwise: FN VC SOUND END DIM pBlock.100 Pblock.ioCompletion& = 0 'completion rtn Pblock.dCtlRefNum% = -4 'drvr ref num Pblock.CsCode% = 2 'control code Pblock.CSParam% = sndLevel 'sndLevel 0-7 OSErr = FN CONTROL(@Pblock) END FN -Warren
