Flash 8 Skins- Mute Button function

Hi There,
I'm trying to reskin one of the skin flas to customise my
flash player, but I dont know how to reverse the MUTE Button
function ( ie, I want the movie to be MUTED when I publish it
instead of having it default with the volume ON}- Can someone
please help me with the actionscript function to enable this?
thanks

I have only found one workaround to this so far, and it is
not quite what you both want, but it will start the video muted.
The video will unmute when you click anywhere on it. Give the
FLVPlayback component the instance name of vid, then attach this
code to the frame:
vid.volume = 0;
vid.onPress = function(){
vid.volume = 100;
delete(this.onPress);
========================
That will set the volume to 0 before it plays. Then when you
click anywhere on the video the volume is adjusted to 100. I have
been unable to figure out how to just tell the mute button to be
enabled at start.

ThinkPad Hotkey Features Integration 3.89.0000 On Screen Display and Mute Button Fail

I am installing updates on a T400 system running WIndows 7 Pro 64-bit.
The system has been freshly factory restored and all features work properly...
After running System Restore to update to the latest drivers and recommended software, I find Thinkpad Hotkey Features Integration 3.89.0000 breaks features.
I am able to use Hotkeys to change brightness up/down, Fn+F5, Fn+F6, etc. The volume up and down keys work to change volume. The mute button does not work at all! There is no On Screen Display to show the adjustment settings for any Hotkeys.
I have found that installing the older 3.88.0000 (8jvu40ww.exe) version of ThinkPad Hotkey Features Integration works successfully with mute button functionality as well as the On Screen Display features.
Comparing what is different between the 3.89.0000 and 3.88.0000 versions, I find On Screen Display version and Full Screen Magnifier have advanced. The version information table at the bottom of the software download page is inconsistent compared to what is actually reported from the 3.88.0000 setup.exe:
Setup shows:
On Screen Display 6.71.00
Full Screen Magnifier 2.40
The table shows:
On Screen Display 6.72.00
Full Screen Magnifier 2.41
The System Interface Driver is 1.05 on all the recent versions.
With the 3.89.0000 version installed, I cannot uninstall and go back to the older version to get it working. Instead, I have to do a System Restore to a point previous to the newest install... something changes in the new version but I am not yet sure what.
I have no warranty on this system. Lenovo technical support is unwilling to entertain a conversation about solving this issue with their software unless I purchase a support package. Perhaps someone from Lenovo reads this forum and/or one of the community members has a contact or option so that I may report the issue to those who are responsible for resolving Lenovo software issues. I am hopeful they can solve it in their next release so that I do not have to hide the current version from System Update.
If anyone has ideas on what causes the latest On Screen Display or Full Screen Magnifier to disable the mute button and prevent On Screen Display from working... I would love to try and solve that problem. Additionally, if you have ideas on what prevents uninstalling and going back to an older version, that would also be helpful as I would not like to rely on System Restore.
If there is no solution other than to avoid 3.89.0000 it is what I will do and this message will help others so they do not spend hours to confirm the issue is with the 3.89.0000 version rather than suspecting hardware issues.
trying to figure out the source of the trouble.
Thank goodness Lenovo offers previous versions in a table at the bottom of the pages so we can try older versions and go back to what works. It is a shame they do not advertise a link or other option to report bugs and issues with Lenovo software/drivers directly.

This is the roulette you play with updating functions that are already working properly.
If it's not broken, don't fix it. Do the release notes describe a fix or enhancement that you want? No? Then leave it alone. Hiding updates in Lenovo Update is the easiest solution. For RChesley, in this case.
Bob, I realize that you want the function that the update is supposed to deliver, but the update has failed you. It's like installing version 1.0.0 of software sometimes, with Lenovo Update. You're never quite sure what you're going to get. There's tons of posts here that read as though the users are beta testers--installing updates and finding the bugs! So the developers can go back to the code and try again.
I've learned to never be an early adopter here.

Volume buttons and mute button don't function in Windows 8 64-bit

Almost funny, I also have installed Windows 8 64-bit on my ThionkPad SL500 (clean install). I have read other people complaining about "Volume buttons and mute button don't function". This is exactly the same problem I have. I have found no exact procedure about what software to install to make this work. Instead people refer to other threads that often end in some desert... So, does anyone (Lenovo?) have a clear answer on what software to install (and links to those drivers please...) :-? And, yes, I have tried installing different software packages by following threads, but nothing has worked just yet... So, clear instructions / links, please :-)
Thanks,
Niels

I recently found this information on the micorsoft troubleshooting website and thought of your post, not sure if you had found a solution but hopefully it is helpful.
My keyboard volume controls suddenly stopped working
If the volume controls on your keyboard stops working, check the Human Interface Device Access service on your computer to make sure it is set to Automatic.
In the Start menu, type View local services.
From the Search Results list, select View local services.
In the Services dialog box, locate Human Interface Device Access. Make sure the status is set to “Started.” If it is not started, click Start the service.
Right-click Human Interface Device Access and select Properties.
On the General tab, in the Startup type, select Automatic, and then click OK.
Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,
Catie

Adding extra functions to flash video skin

Is it possible to add an email button or link to a custom
flash video skin, and script it so it only appears at the
conclusion of the video?

Answer: You can add your movieClip or button to FLVPlayBack
component, like i did.
uFlvPlayer.addChild(PlayTime_txt);
It works in FullScreen mode now.

How to add a mute button without using the default skin?

I want to use a mute/unmute button for my current project which does not use the default skin. I searched the web and found the following solution.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/163/2ed9f163.html
I followed the instruction and it works fine on single slide. The problem is that it does not carry through the whole project. If I mute the first slide, the audio is on again on the next slide. My mute/unmute setting doesn't go to the next slide.
Any one have a solution to this problem? Any help or tips are greatly appreciated.

Hi there
Did you pay close attention to step 4?
Click image to see larger...
Addtionally, your post reads as if you feel the mute button is only avaliable with the Default playback control set. Note that there are all sorts of options with the supplied playback controls that offer enabling a mute button.
Cheers... Rick

Print screen and Function "fn" key not working.Mute button stays red constantly.

Hi,
I bought an hp pavilion dv6-2154ca two weeks ago. It has windows 7 64-bit, nvidia Geforce 210m 1Gb graphics card, and my function "fn" key is not working at all. I downloaded the quick launch buttons driver a few days ago, according to the advice of an hp advisor, so any suggestions on how to get my fn key working.
My mute button stays red, even when the volume is on and i'm watching videos. This problem didn't exist until i downloaded the audio driver.
My print screen key doesn't work either, i got to know it when i was trying to print screen images for school work.
Thanks.

Creating a mute button for video in as3

I would like to create my own mute button in as3. I have created a video object which plays my video fine. I'm having trouble finding information on how to create a mute button that mutes the audio but the video continues to play. All documentation that I've read relates to controlling sound from an loaded .mp3 file. Does anyone know how I can do this? The gotoandlearn.com site explains it using as2 only.
Thanks

I figured it out:
sound_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, soundOFF);
function soundOFF(e:MouseEvent) {
     var transform:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform();
     transform.volume = 0;
     stream.soundTransform = transform;
Thanks for all your help on this. You'll probably see more of my post as I struggle with AS3 and my flash project.

Satellite A660: Remark and a question about illumination/mute button

Remark:
Hi, I am a proud owner of a satellite A660-166 (3 days old) and I installed everything from scratch on the win 7 pro since I received my laptop with a home version (need pro for work)...I encountered some problems but this forum really answered all my questions :) Never found such a helpful forum for technical support. So I wanted to express my gratitude and my support for everything you do for the users :)
Problem: Well, it's not really a problem, more of a curiosity... I had some problems with the eco button at that point illumination/mute button was for mute....Thanks to you guys I found out what needed to be done, I reinstalled Flash card software and everything was working properly plus the illumination/mute button was for illumination now. I don't have anything against that, I prefer it that way, but I'm wondering how do I change that...I found some unanswered thread about using toshiba assistant and the illumination tab...Since my laptop is pretty new, I don't have an illumination tab, I was wondering how do I change the button to mute if I want to?
Thanks, keep up the good work!

It is nice to hear you found answers to your questions here. Many people here try to help.
Back to your issue: It is not easy to offer precise answer and I really dont know if you can change settings for one single button. I think it has something to do with registry entries but how to change it is another question.
If you use this button for illumination ON/OFF you can use FN+ESC for MUTE option so you will have both options that can be used using one single button or quick key combination.
Can you please test it and confirm it works properly?

How to make next and previous button function

Hello
Can anybody help me with how to achieve next and previous button function such as the one at www.bestbuy.com?
I would appreciate any help or suggestion.
Thank you!

if you're not familiar with flash it might be easiest to place your initial "page" in frame 1, the 2nd (or next) page in frame 2, the 3rd/next page in frame 3 etc.
place your previous and next buttons in their own layer that spans the main timeline (which will have as many frames as you have "pages"). give them instance names (say prevBtn and nextBtn).
you can then use the following code placed in frame 1:
var tl:MovieClip=this
prevBtn.onRelease=function(){
tl.prevFrame();
nextBtn.onRelease=function(){
tl.nextFrame();

Why do button functions included in external actionscript not persist across frames?

this one drives me nuts!
if i include an external actionscript file in frame one of my
movie, then [as you'd expect] all the functions, global variables
etc contained in that external AS file are available throughout my
movie - with one notable exception.
if i add a button to the stage - in a frame other than frame
one - whose onRelease handler is defined in the external AS, the
function is not called when the button is clicked - i have to
re-include the external AS file again on the frame in which the
button resides, in order for the buttons function to be called.
anyone know why this is - and if there's a way round it?
how come all the other functions in the AS persist across all
frames and all timelines in the movie, but the button handlers only
seem to be available on the actual frame in which the AS file is
included?

I think you and I are dealing with similar issues and the
root cause is referred to as "scope." The only difference between
your and my problems is that your code is in an external as file
and mine is on the timline. But in both instances, code that should
work doesn't. Robert Reinhardt has covered this in an article at
http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=8E4DF.
He is the author of the Flash Actionscript Bible series and so
knows what he is talking about. I have been studying it for an hour
and darn if I can understand the second page of it. I've asked for
help myself about this at

The sound mute button doesn't work on my HP pavilion dv6

The finger button on the pavilion dv6 doesn't work for the sound mute button. I'm not sure if a setting has been disabled or not. Anyone have any ideas on how to restore it ?

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp48501-49000/sp48668.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load. Open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if the mute button now functions correctly

Hi,
The functionality of the mute button is provided by the IDT Audio software so the problem may be that Windows 8 has installed a reference driver that does not contain this. Often, the Windows 7 version works Ok, so I'd try downloading and installing the following IDT driver.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp48501-49000/sp48830.exe
After the installation has completed, restart the notebook.
