So I'm trying to call a function from the onLoad method of my sound object and something is wrong with my scope.
see my example...
Code:
class com.infect.SoundController{
private var soundObject:Sound
private var soundMC:MovieClip

How to access the sound duration outside the onload function....im trying to diaply the duartion of each song in the playlist by loading them one after the other...but am not able to access duartion of all the mp3 files....i want to knw if there is any way to access the sound duration outside the sound.onload function.
View 3 RepliesI am writting an image gallery that loads one intial xml file named galleries.xml.From this point each xml node loads a XMl file for that gallery that holds all the images.The problem arises in the fact that to do this I need a onload function within an onload function.Onload functions dont accept parameters so I can pass down the variable that shows what loop the gallery loop is on as I need that in the function that holds the images.
View 4 RepliesI have few sound files and I need to play then in an order and every time after the sound played a button is active then the user can click on the button to play next sound....etc. But at some point my setInterval keep calling the stop sound function even though myTimer is delete. I checked the actionscript dictionary and I found that the delete action is for Flash 5. Does it mean I can use it in Flash 7 or 8 and actionscript2?
Here is the code my created:
//-----------play sound---------//
function soundPlay(ID:Number){
var instrSound:Sound = new Sound(this);
var soundName:String = "SCP" + ID + ".wav";
soundID = ID;

Is there a way to fire up a call to a php file on my website everytime the .swf file is loaded?
View 1 RepliesI am triggering short sounds dynamically from the library for a game (Specifically Air for Android). When the user clicks a button the sound can take up to 600ms to actually play. I have set it for any silence before the actual sound by calling the sound like so:
[Code]...
All return the same results. I know there are threads here that talk about this but none have offered a real solution that I can find. Is there no way to cache the sound or store it in a buffer?
I want to load a function/sound to play ONLY on the first load.eg/I have four pages, one page has a sound that loads every time I click back to that page. Is there a way to make it only load the first time that page is loaded?
View 5 Repliesi'm making somekind of music / video player in flashmx2004. it plays streaming mp3 en flv files. random people can put a link into the players database. of course there will be some that insert a dead link, now i want to check with actionscript (1.0) if the link is dead and if so, the player automaticly will skip this track.this is what i've got allready to load te streaming sound:
_root.playSound = new Sound();
_root.playSound.loadSound(trackurl,true)
trackurl is the link to the file. link to the player atm: [url]

my mc.enterfame works but this doesn't. I think it's because it's on load and for this to be implemented it has to be called after load so how do i use it? I tried to call it on the original but it didn't work.
Is there a way that I can run a function when it first loads, as if it wasn't inside of the function, but still be able to call that block of code as a function later on? For example if I did...
Code:
someFunction();
function someFunction():void{
//do this
}
It wouldn't work correctly.. I need it to do what is inside the function as if it wasn't in the function, which it loads, but also be able to call it again later on.
I am loading one xml file and onload (or onData) of this file I am calling another function but, this function is not getting called. What can be the issue? Can delegates be used here and how?
Here is the code for reference

_global.book_xml = new XML();
_global.book_xml.ignoreWhite = true;

load XML data (it parses automatically), parse through the XML tree and assign the values to an array of my choosing for access later in the movie. I can load the XML data, but the only time I can access the XML functions, i.e. XML.firstChild, or XML.getChildNodes(), is when I am within an XML. onLoad function.[code]Shouldn't I be able to call these XML function and properties from anywhere? not just within the XML.onLoad function? I look at other people's scripts and they do it, but I can't?I created a function that parses through the data and puts it into an array. And that works well if I say XMLdata.onLoad = my_array_funtion();But the problem is, if I do it that way I can't get the array out of the function. I can't return the value because the function is being called from an onLoad event and the return value of the function isn't assigned to a variable. So the array I create is worthless.And there is no way to call the function, and have the XML.functions, i.e. XML.firstChild, to work outside of an XML.onLoad event. Is there? Please tell me there is a way.I tried assigning the array to a global variable, but evidently you can't modify _globals within a function.Ultimately, I need this array because later in the script I use the data on the fly, and I want instant access to it.

Can I write onload function without using EventListener...? Iget boolean value from loader..?
View 1 RepliesI have this code
[code]...
so, where is my code inside the function I have some variables which are global variables that I declared and I attempt to use outside of the function.Is this possible ? I ask the question cause I don't see that they work
I can't figure out why this doesn't work. I need to pass the text in the xml file to an object that needs to be created outside of the onload function so i need access to the data out side of that function. I've declared variables to store the data at the class level which i thought would give me access to the databelow is the code:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I've been searching this problem for a while and have tried a number of solutions found on google but nothing has worked so far. I'm sure this is a common problem, but due to my lack of flash knowledge I can't logically work through it as I'm used to windows form development, it makes sense to me that the function could access the variables I have defined but they dissapear after the .onLoad event. Does anyone know the common solution to this problem? I want to be able to pass the xml details into the local variables so I can pass on the details into a dynamic text field when movies are hovered over etc
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite=true;
var nav1Text:String;

I have 2 swf's:
Section.swf (to be loaded in main)
Main.swf
In section.swf, on the first frame I have this:
[AS]
onLoad = function(){
// start doing stuff
}[/AS]
When I run the section.swf on its own, the onload function works, and the "doing stuff" code runs. But when I load it into main, this onload (within the section.swf, above) does not run!
I would like to break a for-loop. It should be easy with "break;", but there is a slight complication to the code - the for-loop contains a function from within which I want to be able to break the loop. Here is a codesnippet:

So, somehow, I want to break the for-loop from within the onLoad-function. Is that possible with some other code (this ofcourse doesnt work)?
I'm trying to call a function with a onLoad function in a Class
XML_var.onLoad = function(success) {
anotherFunction();
}
However I have an upcoming project that's going to have a big image gallery, that is likely to change often, so I can see XML would be very useful for speed of editing/adding etc.
I'm a complete XML noob then, and I'm just doing a little test with some text, and I can't seem to access the Array outside the xml.onLoad function.
Here is the xml...
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<writing>
<para>
[Code]....
Now in the above code, my dynamic text field named "desc" correctly displays "bloody hell, XML is a nause".
However, when the line in bold is placed outside the onLoad function, it returns undefined, and when traced, the description array returns nothing at all.
I need to access the array outside of this function.
Code:
onLoad=function() {
my_text=new LoadVars()
my_text.load("C:\Documents and Settings\Wrkspace\Desktop\flash_wordlist.txt");
my_wordlist="";
} my_text.onLoad=function(success) {
if(success) {
my_wordlist=(this.var_wordlist).split(" ");
trace(my_wordlist)
}}
The trace doesn't showup at all....by the way, this is in the first frame of the timeline, and i am trying to load a wordlist and then use the words in my program separately. Is it because flash loads the text file slowly? I am using flash 8, AS2.
I'm building a streaming mp3 player. So that you can load a mp3 from all over the internet in a streaming way, but soon It became obvious that when I set the loadSound to true (used to stream sounds) that sometimes the mp3 begins to stop and load and then play again. A sort of short stops. So I thought let's place a buffer so that when the song is loaded half way it's starts playing and gone are the short stops. But that's where my problem started and some questions arised. I use the onload method to check if any sounds are loaded into the sound object. I used this sentense to handle the onload action:[code]But now that I'm not exactly streaming anymore, so I have set the loadSound to false. Now I wonder if the onID3 method I used for getting some specific information out of the mp3 also acts like a none streaming file stream?Also something is wrong with my check if the loading process is half way.I have some songs on my pc and one on the internet. The songs on my pc load very well. (offcourse ) But they don't get into my if statement. And the song loaded from an internet adress doesn't even get into the onload function
View 2 RepliesI'm currently working with soundmanager2 in an IE/flash context (not html5). The issue is that audio playback of mp3 content does not occur for the following case where the 'onload' callback function is defined as null OR as a function that does almost nothing.

I have an AS3 function that loads and audio file and then plays it. I have the pre-loader for the first audio file working - now I need to run the pre-load function before the 2nd audio file starts.

myMusic.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, playMusicNow, false, 0,true);
myMusic.load(soundFile, myContext); //This code works
