Problem with sound object

[dummwiam]

I want to detect in my app if "mute" is enabled in windows (and if so to disable it) plus be able to change the master volume of windows.

I started with the simplest step...to trace the current values on my system:

Global.trace(SWFKit.Sound.playback.masterMute);
Global.trace(SWFKit.Sound.playback.masterVolume);

but didn't work, both returned "undefined". Then I tried

Global.trace(Sound.playback.masterMute);
Global.trace(Sound.playback.masterVolume);

but I got an error message.

What am I doing wrong? (All my code is written is flash).

It is a small bug of the sound objects. Although the methods and properties of the Sound objects are static, you will still have to first create a playback of recording object before you can use it, as shown in the following action script code

var pb = new SWFKit.Sound.playback;
Global.trace(SWFKit.Sound.playback.masterMute);
Global.trace(SWFKit.Sound.playback.masterVolume);
pb.Release();

I copy pasted your code into my project (Flash version CS3,the project is in ActionScript 2) and it still returned "undefined" values!

Any other workaround?

[SWFKit]

To make it work, you will have to first setup the class path for swfkit:

in [flash cs3]->[main menu]->[edit]->[preference]->[actionscript]->[actionscript 2 settings]
add the class path for swfkit, the typical path name of which is
c:\program files\swfkit pro 3\classes

for actionscript 3, the path name should be
"c:\program files\swfkit pro 3\classes 3"

Current swfkit installer cannot set the classpath for flash cs3 automatically, as it is released before flash cs3. The installer of swfkit 3.2 will fix this problem.

It is setup correctly. I am using SWFKit extensively in this project. I have a specific problem with the Sound Object...

Please try the attached sample.

both returned undefined.

The sound object is only supported by swfkit pro. Are you using swfkit pro?
