Volume Slider [Solved!]

You know.
I read all of this. And decided, I'm gonna copy the equation and test it myself.
I figured it out, and was about to confirm with you what I discovered.
...and then realized you spelled it all out for me 3 lines down.

How would I do the minimum equal to 0?
Min=0 seems a bit too simple...
[Edit] Similar problem I'd imagine.
The up direction has no limit, so the bar can go off the screen...

[Editx2]Alright. I fixed the limit for the meter, but the virtual placement of the meter is still there.
Like, the bar stops at the top, but if you keep clicking up it #var# gets bigger which controls the bar position. So, it'll be maxed out, but you have click down a bunch of times to make it actually come down.

I managed to figure that out for the bar placement but not for movement.
Oh well.

Anywho.
I've finished the mechanics of the bar... I just can't test the volume at the moment.
My desktop computer does not appear to have a native master volume slider, seeing as it has external speakers. Unless someone can find/provide the .exe for this I'm done until the 12th. That's when I should get my laptop back.
I'll work on some aesthetics until then.

Here's the semi-final code for all to see:

Fixed the volume.
Created my own images for the buttons, slider, and background.

Here's the next-semi-final code:

Images are not completely finished, but at least they're not somebody else's now.

The only reason it's not final is because I think I could make the code cleaner/more convenient and the images aren't completely finished. Also, the placement in parts of the code may not work well, specifically the mute/unmute button. And finally, for the skin to appear correctly it's assumed you have 0 volume and you're not muted.

I figured that I would point out that you no longer need to move variable. It was a workaround for the bar-background actions which you removed.

Thank you. :P
I never quite figured out what it did.
And until very recently, I (think I) still had a few equations of yours which included the move variable.

Told you the code could be better. Ahaa.

Edited out now.

I've been cleaning up the code a lot, and I still have the Max=10 you had.
My calc's are as such: H=((#Max#*15)+5)
Should I just change it to a regular number? Or leave it with the variable?
Either way I don't think it's a big deal, I just like opinions of what's best.

What's best is that you make the code in a way that's easy for you to understand and easy to work with (but still having a working code).
If you plan on having people look at the code, comments!
In the aspect of resources, it's no difference. Or at least no difference to be noticed.
So do as you wish. :)

Eh, very true.
There's a comment saying what it does, and I think I'll keep it.
I just have to make everything work in according to that.

I posted the actual skin: Volume Slider
