ActionScript 1/2 :: Playing An Embedded Timeline?
Jan 18, 2011
I may not have the correct terminology and such, but I have a simple symbol that plays, and then I have a timeline within that symbol that I want to play right after that. I named the embedded timeline/frame "trailer" so I used the action
gotoAndPlay("trailer");
this works if the named frame is in the main timeline, but it doesn't seem to be able to access the timeline within the symbol. Is there a different command I could use? Or am I doing something wrong?

I have completed my website with several sections Home, competition, prizes, sponsors, gallery, enter, contact us.Each section is labelled on the main time frame and then there are movies within that with the content for each section.Everything was working fine until I decided that I was going to import some FLV files to use within my home section.There are seven of them and they are each 12 seconds long with audio. I imported them in to a movie clip called santa_intro_movie with structure like thisScene 1 - Home_BG - santa_intro_movie > and each imported flv sits within it's own movieclip named snta_click-001 etc up to 007 all on different frames of the santa_intro_movie and controlled by buttons.
When I test the movie it works great....except when i try and navigate to other sections of the website, when i click on my main buttons at the top for some reason the audio from all of the FLV's start playing at once and any tweens or animations that I have on those other pages start going in to hyperdrive!!!I have checked through my actionscript and I just can't figure it out.

I have embedded an automatic slideshow as a swf file into a website I'm designing for my parents. When I test the swf file, it performs exactly as expected but when I embed it into the html, it just sits there and doesn't run/animate/whatever.
The slideshow (should) automatically run through a group of 7 photos, with a fade transition and was all done with actionscript, loading the external jpeg files into alternate movieclip containers etc etc.
The web page where it doesn't work is here: [URL] - you can see that the swf just sits there, doing absolutely nothing.
The location of the swf file is: [URL] - as you can see, it works fine on its own!!

I am using swfin to embed a swf object (video player) and it loads fine in all browsers, but in firefox it won't "start".I have to right click on the movie area and "start" is unchecked so I click on "start" and it will start just fine. Yet, in chrome and IE (haven't moved to a mac for testing yet) it fires up and starts just as I expected. I have tried swfobject instead of swfin and I have IE issues that I couldn't seem to correct. Hence moving to swfin.Here is the swfin code:
`
var s = new swfIN("/Flash/video_player_playhead_overlays.swf", "flashMovie", "427", "280");
// s.hideSEO("div_seo");
s.addVar("video_file", "/DownloadableWork/Boardwalk.flv");[code]....

I have a simple MP3 file that I am attaching from a library and playing using Sound object.When testing SWF on it's own, it works fine, but I have to embed the SWF into another SWF (container) using loadMovie, AND, the sound not playing??? What can be wrong?
child.swf code:
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
// in the library MP3 is set for export as "voiceoverclip"

I am embedding an mp3 into my Flex project for use as a sound effect, but I am finding that every time I play it, there is a delay of about half a second from when I call .play() to when you can hear the sound. This makes it weird because I want the sound effects to sync to game events. My mp3 itself is only about a fifth of a second long so it isn't because of the contents of the mp3.
I'm embedding with
[Embed(source="assets/Tock.mp3")]
[Bindable]
public static var TockSound:Class;
[Code]....
I know there's a delay because the sound plays about a half second after the Alert displays. I did consider that maybe it was the initial loading time of constructing the TockSound, but the delay is there on all the subsequent calls as well.
How can I avoid this delay on playing a sound?
Update: It turns out this delay is only present when playing the swf on Linux. I believe it is a Linux-specific flaw in Adobe's flash player.

I have a section of a site that has a voice over when you get to a page. I have a play/pause button that works fine, and plays and pauses the audio voice over. I have about 9 other buttons on this page that all have 'SoundMixer.stopAll();' in order to stop the embedded audio. This works the first time you click a button, but any button after that restarts the embedded audio.
Is there a way to make it so that Flash knows not to restart the embedded audio?
Do I need to make a sound variable and set it to 'false'. I am not sure what to do, or how to do it.

I've got a game I made just to play with AS3. But I'm having an issue with the sound. Playing the swf file will play the sound, but when embedded I hear nothing. The code for calling the sound:
Code:
import flash.media.SoundMixer;
SoundMixer.stopAll();
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.media.SoundLoaderContext;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

I have three embedded video clips that are inside of movieClips. They I have buttons that take you to a framelabel where those movieClips are located. Each movieClip containing each movie are on separate frames. (See attached image)
When I click on any of the buttons that take me to any videoClips other than the first one, make the audio from the previous embedded Video on the timeline in front of the one I went to , start to play.
I have SoundMixer.stopAll();
on everybutton before I tell it to go anywhere. what to do to only get audio from the video clip in that section of the timeline to play.

I have embedded a flv video onto the stage. I then have loaded in an image which is transparent enough to see the video through it. The problem is I cant now access the video player to control it. Is there anyway to bring the embedded video on the stage above the loaded in image so I can actually click play on the control bar and play the video?

I have a template I created in CS4 where an flv video clip was embedded with a controller skin, etc. It worked fine.
I'm working in CS5 now and using f4v files, and publishing for Flash 10 Player. The files are targeted, load and play properly, but if I pause the video, then hit play, audio stops. Starting a new clip at a different point in the timeline works fine. I noticed if I turn off autoplay under Component Parameters, audio doesn't work at all.

I am trying to embedded an flv into a flash movie timeline that runs at 12fps.My source avi is 60 seconds in duration. However using cs3 video encoder with the frame rate set to 12 fps results in an flv that uses up 1440 frames of my timeline.In fact any frame rate selected always results in an flv of this frame length? Assuming that I need the flv to be 720 frames total (60 seconds * 12 frames), and not twice that duration as that would still have to be played at 24 fps. I undertand that there is a relationship to the original fps the movie was shot in (in this case 24fps) but will/does the encoder not produce an flv with the frame rate altered to match my timeline fps? or do you basically have to use a camera that shoots the original avi at 12fpsto get it to play in 12 fps timeline??

Is there any way we can stop the sound embeded in timeline directly?
We have an application that load SWF dynamically. These external SWF are not created by our company and other company has embed the sound in timeline. without use of any actionscript or anything.
Now we need to provide the MUTE option for our user, is there any way We can simply disable all kind of sound in any mode from our ActionScript code.

I've been given FLAs that contain audio embedded within the timeline. It's been a long while since I've had to deal with audio in this manner and I'm running into a problem.
The basic setup is this:
- There are 3 movie clips within the FLA
- Each movie clip contains embedded audio within the timeline
- The audio plays as soon as each movie clip begins
Here's my issue:
On the main timeline, there is a 'back' button which allows the user to move to the previous movie clip.
When the user clicks this button, it does move back to the previous movie clip; however, the sound does not stop which results in 2 audio files playing at the same time.
If I were calling the sound utilizing SoundMixer/SoundChannel, I know how to ensure the audio stops, but since the audio is embedded within the timeline, I'm not quite sure the best way to make sure the audio stops when the preceding movie clip is called.

I am having trouble with an embedded audio clip. (embedded in the timeline) First, the reason for embedding.... I need the audio (voice over) to correspond to the on Stage animations, and have words and animations appear when certain keywords are spoken. Second, here is what I have tried...
1) I have tried to embed the audio clip directly on the timeline. The audio file I am using is an MP3 created out of Garage Band. (Mac audio program) When I embed the clip, and publish a preview, it nearly crashes Flash Player. The audio continues to play, but all on screen animations are severely slowed and choppy. And I must force quit Flash Player to close it. Plus it is nearly maxing out my CPU during playback.
2) I removed the audio clip from the timeline, and decided to try AS3 to import and control playback of the audio clip. This seemed to work fine, no slowdown, less CPU usage, and on screen animations seemed to play normally. However, it is nearly impossible to sync the audio and on Stage animations with an externally loaded audio clip. (timing is always different depending on computer and internet speed.)

i am creating a survey with say 7 questions. each question has the same MovieClip symbol each with a different instance name, like q1, q2, ... q7.
the MovieClip symbol has 5 static texts and 5 SimpleButtons. i have some code in that symbol to make sure that only a single button has the "on" or "checked" state to show that that one is chosen. this works great.
my question is, how do i communicate each user choice with the main timeline after the user hits the "submit" button? or, how do i have code under the "submit" mousedown event that can iterate through the 7 symbols to query each one and see which of the 5 SimpleButtons is "checked" or "on". this iteration will then create a list of responses for all 7 questions.
ultimately, i will have flash concatenate a GET POST string that will send the survey results to a web server.

I've embedded a SWF into a class using this syntax above my class definition:
[Embed (source='/../assets/MyMovieClips.swf', symbol='SpecialMovieClip')]
public class SpecialMovieClip extends MovieClip
The MovieClip asset seems linked with my class okay, and instantiates along with it, and is visible, but:
I can't access instances placed on stage within that clip. The timeline scripting seems non-functional.
Is this the drawback of embedding SWF files at compile-time with the Flex SDK? So, maybe I should just go back to compiling with the Flash IDE if I want timeline scripting or instances positioned on-stage?

I have a swf that has embedded audio on the swf's timeline which is set to Stream. This swf is then loaded into my main flash timeline via the loader class. I have a button coded as a toggle switch that pauses the loaded swf via the stop() and play() command. This works fine. The issue is that when the swf is paused (stop()), the audio is longer heard, but it continues to play. When I press my toggle switch again, the swf begins to play exactly where it was paused and the audio is now heard, but the issue is that the streaming audio is now out of sync since the swf timeline paused, but the audio continued to play. Is it possible to stop or pause the embedded audio on the timeline? I've tried looking at the SoundMixer static class, but this doesn't seem to help. I can use SoundMixer.stopAll(), but there's no way to start the audio again.

I am developing a flash web site using ACTIONSCRIPT 3. There is a menu of small icons that, when one of them is clicked, the program loads the correspondent SWF into a loader and then presents it in a "virtual screen" ( a rectangular area ) in the web page. The problem is that some of these child SWFs have an embedded background sound and I DO NOT KNOW how to mute them from the main SWF when a user decides to do so by clicking a "mute" button.
Each SWF embedded sound has its own layer in its timeline and is set as Sync: Event, Repeat:1.

My question is how do I incorporate playback controls to a Embedded Video that plays with the timeline? I saw how easy it was to add playback components when you import video externally. I figured that I probably need to start by creating my play back components, but then I need code to tell the swf what to do?

I've come to the end of my rope at this point in my AS learning, and was seeking some opinions on how to achieve this.
I am attempting to play a motion tween animation which I have applied to a movieclip that exists in the main timeline.
Coding it like this does not result in errors, but instead of playing the motion tween that I have set up, each MC plays the MC animation instead of the tween animation in the main timeline.

I've just posted a reply in the ActionScript3 Forum as someone else has had the same problem, but I can't find a solution so posting again here as it's taken me about 5 hours of getting nowhere and I'm sure this is really easy... have one frame on my time line called "theatre" and another called "Video" the buttons between the two work but the video continues to play in the background when I go back to the "theatre" frame on the same time line and I can't find a stop function that will work A button on my main page links to Video on the timeline with following AS3
btnVid.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickbtnVid);
function clickbtnVid(event:Event) :void {
gotoAndStop("Video");

The site has 6 pages: home, contents, contact, about, showreel, corporate. I have a panoramic photograph as a background across all my pages. When a button,such as contact, is clicked the timeline is enabled and scrolls across the panoramic to the 'contact' area of the photograph.I have a few questions relating to how I can achieve this. 1.) On my actions layer I have this code on frame one: stop(); enter_site_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonCLicked); function buttonClicked (event:MouseEvent):void { play(); } So when you mouseClick the timeline plays and goes to the next stop point on the timeline which is the contents section. On the contents page are the buttons which lead to the other sections. So far I have this code: stop(); about.btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK,buttonCLicked) corporate.btn.addEventListener
(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttonCLicked) showreel.btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK,buttonCLicked) contact.btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK,buttonCLicked)
Each of the buttons work, but I want the timeline to play and go to the page which corresponds to the button which is clicked, not just to play the timeline until the next stop point. Is there a code which would enable the timeline to play and go to the correct section, and not just roll without a target? 2.) I also want to be able to write a code which enables the timeline to move to any section in the same amount of time. What I mean by this is that if it takes 2 seconds (48 frames) to go from the first section to the second section, I also want it to take 2 seconds to go from the second section to the sixth section (240 frames)
