Control FLV/MP4 Audio & Pan Levels

Question

How can I control the audio & pan levels of an external FLV or MP4 video that I am playing through a Video object?

In AS 2, the way to do this was to create an empty movieclip and then use the attachAudio function, which has been deprecated. Should I go about doing this the same way or is there a better way to control the audio without having to jump through hoops?

Answer 1

I just figured it out. There is a much more effective way in AS 3 to adjust sound properties.

stream_ns.soundTransform.volume = vol;
stream_ns.soundTransform.pan = panLevel;
