[thelist] Director problem

[Jeff Haas]

Can anyone here help me with a Director problem I'm having?

Below is my code for my volume control. It doesn't work as a slider but instead the user clicks to turn down (or up) the volume. I am working with multiple movies and every time I change movies the volume resets itself. How can I get it to "remember" the volume level when it goes to the next movie?

Note: I'm in version D-8.5.1

Thanks in advance.

Volume Control Behaviour:

global gCurrentVolume

property mySprite
property myChannel
property pSoundLevel
property pLevel
property pDirection

on new me
  myChannel = 2
  pDirection = 1
  --  pLevel = 5
  pSoundLevel = []
  pSoundLevel.add( [ #volume 0, #image (member "vol-0") ] )
  pSoundLevel.add( [ #volume 63, #image (member "vol-25") ] )
  pSoundLevel.add( [ #volume 127, #image (member "vol-50") ] )
  pSoundLevel.add( [ #volume 191, #image (member "vol-75") ] )
  pSoundLevel.add( [ #volume 255, #image (member "vol-100") ] )
end

on beginSprite me
  mySprite = sprite(79)
  me.setLevel()
end

on setLevel me
  mySprite.member = pSoundLevel[ pLevel ][ #image ]
  sound(2).volume = pSoundLevel[ pLevel ][ #volume]
  gCurrentVolume = sound(2).volume
end

on mouseUp me
  pLevel = pLevel + pDirection
  if( pLevel > pSoundLevel.count ) then
    pLevel = pSoundLevel.count - 1
    pDirection = -1
  else if( pLevel < 1 ) then
    pLevel = 2
    pDirection = 1
  end if
  me.setLevel()
end

on getPropertyDescriptionList
  description = []
  addProp description,#pLevel, [#default5, #format#integer,#comment\
"Default Volume (1=0%, 5=100%)", #range1,2,3,4,5]
  addProp description,#myChannel, [#default2, #format#integer,\
#comment"Sound Channel"]
  return description
end


And my Movie Script:

global gCurrentVolume

on prepareMovie
  gCurrentVolume = 0
end

on stopMovie
  gCurrentVolume = sound(2).volume
end
