ActionScript 2.0 :: CS5 - Make Beat And Music Play In Sync?
May 26, 2011
I have two different .wav loops. One is just the tune, and one is the beat. And when they play together right on each other in sync, it sounds great.I have a button on the stage. I want it so that the tune is playing by itself at first, but when hovering over the button, the beat comes in. And when hovering off the button, the beat disappears. The problem is, I don't know how to keep them in sync. The beat and tune get all off when I make it so that on hover it plays the beat.
I have a small animation that contains a doll, that need to be synchronized(doll should dance) with the song that is being played at the background. The song is loaded dynamically and the it should shake according to the music.
I am trying to create a music animator. It will have bars that move up and down do the beat of the music. This is like windows media player where the music animations play. I want it to be verticle bars, where some are in sync with like the base and others are in sync with the tempo. Does anyone know of a tutorial for this? I am trying to emplement it within my website so that whatever music I am playing will auto control the bars and sync.
Intended idea: User is able to set a beat speed for a music making program.
I'm trying to use for (var i:Number = 0; i < (variable); i++) {"addChild" to duplicate movie clips to visibly show where the beat is and then move the movie clips at a constant rate to the left to get it out of the way and then eventually remove the child.
Problem: The movie clip isn't moving. Once it's spawned and in it's position as defined by the function, no outside function can control it.
Code: stop(); var yesorno:Boolean; var numba:int; var origbeat:MovieClip;
I have a website banner made in Flash. I have added a music file to it and Play and Stop buttons. I also have a Replay button to replay the banner animation once it stops.
I have put the music on a separate frame so that it will not play automatically when the banner loads. I have made the Play button direct to the frame the music is located at so that when clicked, it will go to that frame and play the music file.
The problem I am currently having is that if I click the Play button more than once, it will play the music file again on top of the current play-through.
So if I click Play, the music will play. Then if I click it again, the music will play again, but on top of the first instance of the music, so two instances of it will now be playing and it sounds horrible.
I would like to make it so that if you click Play when the music is playing, it will not play the music again until the music has stopped.
If i create timeline slideshow with tweensbetween the pictures, how do I add music so that it ends when the pictures end?I read that audio can come out of sync??What if i use another program to create the swf like after effects that exports with audio? and import, would it lose sync then?
I didn't find any solution in the past discussions, I want to sync two FLVPlayback in the stage.Now I quickly solved with a Countdown of about 10sec;one can choose a project from a ComboBox and the two FLV play when the countdown reaches 1. That's not the right way as they never play in sync the first time..
I think a BufferingBar can do the job, detecting the end of the buffer. but I don't know the code to add...
I need to build a website which shows multiple instruments in a band, being played in sync. Each camera/video block is a different instrument, and played together, they constitute an entire band. I have been searching high and low for ways to do this, and it definitely appears that HTML5 is out. It looks like standard FLV progressive download is out, too, because it's impossible to get 4-8 videos to sync perfectly.
I see on the FMS page that it has some abilities in synching. How would one (conceptually) go about making a webpage where say 4-8 videos begin to buffer, then when ready, play in sync? And they would also need to, when the location is changed, all sync to that location and rebuffer.
The objective is so that the user can mute/solo each video's audio, to remove an instrument(s) from the "mix" at any time.An alternative way of doing this, I think, would be to just put the 4-8 videos together in video editing, and encode this into one video, but have each video's audio track be a separate audio channel. If FMS can do multichannel audio on one video, this might work, if it could mix them in/out individually, as the user requires.
I have two swfs on a web page but need them to start playing at the same time. Problem is that one file size is bigger than the other, so one loads before the other and starts playing earlier.
Is there any code that can make a movie wait until the other one has loaded, then start playing in sync?
I'm about to create some art installation using augmented reality and music. I'd like to implement some kind of sampler in it, but I can't find any way to do it.
It's gonna be a looper, I've got 12 files (each 8 seconds) and I want to play them synchronized - so they must start at the same time. this is example of something similiar to my project[url]... They must be controlled by changing volume (0 means off).
I've made a slide show with three pieces of audio that are set up to play with certain images.So you can imagine when the video is paused but the sound continues playing everything gets a bit messed up.
I have each audio on a different layer and none of them overlap, just fade in/out to one another.[code]...
I have two identical-length videos that I need to stream and play back concurrently while staying in sync. The best I can do so far is keep them about a second apart, but I'm wondering if there's a way to force them to actually stay in perfect sync? Oh yeah: I'm using AS3. (Ideally, I'd just have a series of JPGs instead of the second video and load the relevant image via cuePoint, but that aspect is out of my control.)
Second, what's the best/ideal method of knowing what I can only think of as "percent buffered"? These videos I'm loading are hosted on a Flash Media Server (which I don't have control over or access to, short of loading files from it), and while bytesLoaded/Total works for progressive stuff, I know it doesn't work for streamed stuff. Full disclosure: I know very little about working with serving video in Flash (obvious, I'm sure)(I'm not using the FLVPlayback component.)
I want to play the music file in flash player (which is embedded obviously) by clicking the play button which is in the web page (not in flash player).
No doubt its been asked repeatedly ... how to make animation move to the beat of a sound track.I've been googling for a while here and getting piles of hits but many are not really on topic, then figuring out tighter search strings is a bit hard too since sound and animation has so many possible topics. Looks like it might literally take days to zero in on something.
Can anyone here direct me to information that tells how to make an animation move to the beat of a sound track using Flash? Its fairly easy in Afer Effects so I assumed it would be something I could do in Flash Pro too. But not really getting how it might be done.
I have created a simple animation with two kids moving along with a mule pulling a plow.. all are just still pics but I have a 3wk old Grand daughter on the mule and 1 yr old Great grand son guiding the plow. All figures are bouncing along on with primitive walk step, on 8fr keyframes. Very primitive, but since the kids are my grand and great grand kids it looks pretty cool to my family.
I'm using some nice old hillbilly music of Bill Monroe's (Fiddle, banjo etc) semi-bluegrass sound. But the beat of the music is enough different than the motion of the animation, its a bit distracting.
I thought to just change the spacing of the keyframes by trial and error until its at least close.
But guessing there is a more exact and easier way. In Affter effects its fairly easy to do by ear by tapping out the beat by hand, making markers as you go just by tapping the key in time to the music. It works surprisingly well even for a beat challenged oldster. But enough about After effects... I'm trying to learn Flash. So any advice or a URL?
I need to make a preloader for a test project that is very diffirent and a little bit off-beat as it uses script that I have prostetuted from a variety of diffirent files, see (http:[url].....swf might take a while to load as it has no preloader and please note how it does load...), it scrolls the actual content of the site along the x axis in multiple speeds by using the following script 4 times for each layer/speed of content:
The actual files they are pulling are massive in file size and there fore I need to make a preloader that can cach all the content and then start to display the actual 'content/sliders' I dont even have an idea what kind of loader to use for something like this as I have already tried adding a little loading function (what the "clip1" "clip2" etc...) either I am making this to big of an issue and there is a realy simple way of doing this or there is none that will do what I require? does anyone know of a way for me to pre load everything with one preloader simotaniously? If you would like the master .fla (1.25mb)? (does not include content or the other file) please follow this link .
I need to play three musical tracks one after the other in a circle. It is necessary that its are not loaded again and were in the cache. I use this code. Everything works fine on localhost, but only works after restart the app on the server. And wrong to re-download tracks every time.
[Code]...
optObj.music - it is the object with the parameters that is called when the app starts or when i call a function change the settings.
I have music (.mp3) in a .swf file that I'm loading into another .swf. When I play the .swf containing the music alone the music plays, but when I load the same .swf into another .swf there is no music.[code]...
The following code plays music when the H key is being pressed and when is unpressed the music stops...the problem im having is that its re-playing the music for every milisecond the H key is being pressed so its creating an endless loop of the sound1, how may I change the code to only play once the sound1 while the H key is being pressed and stop when is unpressed[code]...
in my game there are two labels, the "menu" label and the "game" label.i want to have one mp3(song) playing during the "menu" label and another (song) playing during the "game". So,while the player is in the "menu", if he clicks the "play" button the mp3(of the menu) must stop and the mp3(of the game) must begin.i have tried putting the command "stop all sounds" in "play" button's function, but it doesn't only stop the music that was being played (menu's mp3) but also the music that follows (game's mp3)
I am loading a movie in another flash movie clip. The first movie "animation.swf" has background music that loops twice. Linked in the library as "Song" and played as below:
loopMusic = new Sound (); loopMusic.attachSound ("Song"); loopMusic.start (0,2);
It plays fine, but when that file is loaded in the main movie using loadMovie the sound doesn't play.
I'm extremely new to Flash and I am making a website and want to have a single button that when pressed pauses or plays a music file. I was able to create one that works by following a tutorial that I found online but the problem is that the button is on the main timeline so as I move away from it, it stops working. I think that it would work better if I was able to make a movie clip out of the button so that it doesn't sit on the main timeline and will keep working no matter where I am on the timeline. All I need is one button that pauses and plays music when pressed. I also want to be able to have a "music on" line of text and "music off" line of text depending on whether the music is playing or not.
I made a simple page with several buttons that play music, but then decided I wanted a video (flv) to first play automatically, and when that ends the page with the buttons appears. How can I do that? Right now I have four layers using one frame. Layer one has the AS code, two has the text, three has the buttons and the fourth layer has a background image.
I want to make on button play a piece of music and another one to stop the music. I manage to make buttons work for playing frames in the timeline, but how do I make the buttons play the music and stop it?
I am playing a background on my webpage by using miniswfloopplayer, now I want the music to play continuously throughout the website, currently the music starts all over again when a page loads which is quite obvious. I am looking for a approach where I can avoid the above situation.
