Anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong in this code, it is supposed
to slowly bring down the sound when you move the slider I am using - on
the button I have

on(press) {
oldnum = _parent.slide._x
startDrag(_parent.slide,false,0,7,300,7)
}
on(release, releaseOutside) {
newnum = _parent.slide._x
stopDrag();
checker();
}

than this is supposed to bring down(or up) the sound in three equal
parts if you come down 15 than it would be 5 every half second( 500
milliseconds ) - now it works either way the first time than it is hard
to understand the what its doing - but it will jump from the upslow
function to the downslow function in the middle of the Interval

function upslow(){
if(pass == 3 ){
clearInterval(intervalID)
}else{
pass = pass +1
sou = sou + adthis
myvol= sou
_root.my_sound.setVolume(myvol)
}}
function downslow(){
if(pass == 3 ){
clearInterval(intervalID)
}else{
pass = pass +1
sou = sou - subthis
myvol= sou
_root.my_sound.setVolume(myvol)
}}
function checker(){
sou = 0
pass=0
if (oldnum < newnum){
diff = newnum - oldnum
final=diff / 3
adthis = final/3
sou = oldnum / 3
var intervalID;
intervalID = setInterval(upslow,500)
}else {
diff = oldnum - newnum
final=diff / 3
subthis = final/3
sou = oldnum / 3
var intervalID;
intervalID = setInterval(downslow,500)
}}


Any help is really appriecated
Thanks

You may want to set different intervalIDs in 'checker()' and just clear
both in both upslow and downslow, there may be something there.

You can go in a different direction too using onEnterFrame. Something
like this:

//assumes your slider._x starts at 0 and ends at 100 (x position)
//using your existing on(press) and on(release)

on(press) {
oldnum =3D _parent.slide._x
startDrag(_parent.slide,false,=AD0,7,300,7)
}

on(release, releaseOutside) {
newnum =3D _parent.slide._x
stopDrag();
checker();
}



//parent layer
speed =3D 2; //number the volume increases - speed of increase
myvol =3D 100; //start volume

function checker() {
this.onEnterFrame =3D function() {
if(oldnum > newnum) {
myvol -=3D speed;
_root.my_sound.setVolume(myvol=AD)
trace(myvol);
} else
if(oldnum < newnum) {
myvol +=3D speed;
_root.my_sound.setVolume(myvol=AD)
trace(myvol);
} else
if(myvol >=3D100 || myvol <=3D0 || oldnum =3D=3D newnum) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
trace("onEnterFrame deleted")
}
}
}

That may be an easier way, and you can tweak it from there...HTH.
