I have an interface where if the viewer is in a specific set of keyframes, there is specific audio that accompanies the visuals. The code below starts the audio in the specific areas that I need it to be started and stops when I go to a different area - just what I need. However, if they click and then remain in the same section, the audio starts all over. I was curious if there is anything I can do with the below code for it to test if the audio of the section is already playing, and if it is, to allow it to continue playing, and if its in a different section, to stop it and allow the other audio of the section to play.
Code:
function scrubRelease() {
stopDrag();
delete this.onEnterFrame;
How would I check if a sound is already playing? If its already playing how would I tell it not to play it again, so I wouldn't having the sound playing over top of the other one?
I have a sound clip that I'm loading externally into my flash file. The code I'm using looks like this and is placed in the as layer on the first frame,
var mySound:Sound = new Sound(); var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel(); var myTransform = new SoundTransform(); var lastPosition:Number = 0; mySound.load(new URLRequest("introaudio.mp3")); myChannel = mySound.play(); [Code]....
I am creating a game that has 6 movieclips all on the main time line of the game. Each movie clip has three buttons that when clicked plays, pauses or stops a sound clip.When I press any of the sound clip play buttons that sound starts playing, the problem is when I click any of the other sound clip play buttons those sounds also start to play. Is there a way I can disable the other sound clip buttons while the current sound is playing then enable all of the buttons when the current sound has stopped.
This is the code that creates one of the sound objects
So I made a few buttons with sounds within them and when I publish it they work just fine. But what I want them to do is;
Say I click a Button.The sound starts playing.Then I click it again, before the sounds done playing.I want it to stop the playing sound and start playing the button I just clicked on, whether it be the same button, or a different one.Right now it just ends up sounds like an echo because it'll play it as many times as you click it.
I'm working on a campaign website and I need to catch the deadline by tomorrow! I'm stuck. I hope somebody here could help me. Here's how I want to do it:Everything will happen in the main timeline / main Stage.
1. I have F4V clips that I want to load into the FLV Playback, placed in the main timeline (stage), every time the corresponding buttons are clicked. The buttons with questions and their actions are each placed in their corresponding MC. (is it possible? And is it possible to load different flv clips in one FLV Playback?)
2. The user is asked a question, they will have to answer yes or no before they can continue. So if they answer yes, "yes.f4v" will play, no then "no.f4v" will play. Then the corresponding clip will play and the next question will have to appear ONLY after the clip is done playing. How do you check if an f4v is finished playing? Does it matter whether you use FLV or F4V? (I have this one worked, see the code below)
I have made 2 setups:
- Setup 1 is I place an FLV Playback Component in the main timeline and I am planning to load all F4Vs in it when a corresponding button is clicked.
- Setup 2 is I create swf's of all the F4Vs and load the swf in the main timeline on certain frame into a blank MC.
I'm trying to play a sound using a technique found here (play the sound by sampling raw sound data gathered from the original with extract()), with the difference that the mp3 sound is embedded in the swf, not loaded externally. This is my code:
var soundBytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray(); var mp3sound:Sound = Sound(new Sound1_design()); // this is the embedded sound mp3sound.extract(soundBytes, int.MAX_VALUE);
[Code]....
This works, in a way, except that the resulting sound is distorted (it has a kind of a metallic ring).
I am loading small sounds dynamically with the loadSound command. These small sounds are activated with a rollover. see script below. This works ok. however. i want the first sound to keep playing while the rollovers load sound. a bit like playing the piano. This works ok when i import all the sounds into the library and place them on their very own button. however the size of the flash movie increases to 140k. whereas when i load them dynamically the size of the movie is 20k. obviously i want to load dynamically.
But with dynamic loading each sound stops when another sound is rolled over, so that there is only ever one sound playing at once. I need to load the sound into a different level or something, so that the first sound can keep going while the smaller, shorter sounds play over the top. this is my script below. The first sound loads when the movie starts. This is the one i want to keep playing. Then there are the smaller ones with rollovers. does this make any sense? there's actually 13 little sounds.
When I play a sound on a loop using the sound.play(0,loops) method, the channel doesn't dispatch an event when the sound is completed each time inside the loop - but, only after all the loops are played. Is there a way to check out when each loop is done?
I know there's the way to play only once, and check when the channel dispatched SOUND_COMPLETE and then play the sound again - but this method actually doesn't work as intended, as it creates a really small interval between each loop, which is noticeable and destroys the whole looping effect.
Is there any way to check if an external sound file exists? I've searched the net and found stuff on checking if files exist using LoadVars. But it doesnt work for sound.
ok so i have a button that plays an animation for fire when held down. and when realsed goes to and stops and frame one. when it reaches the end of the time line it goes to and plays at frame 10 and goes back to the end of the timeline. I have a sound for the fire animation that plays for the effect. The problem is the sound keeps going untill its over even if the button isnt held down. and when the playhead reaches the end of the timeline it goes to and plays and frame 10 and it replays the sound. if i hold it down it will just keep playing the sound over and over from start to finish. what i want it to do it when i hold the button down i want it to play the sound and when released it stops the sound where ever it is at. I also dont the sound to play again if there is a sound already going to stop it from playing 20 sounds at one time it gets loud and you need asprin after about 5 seconds of that.
I am trying to embed some sound controls, and have hit a dead end. I made my play and stop buttons, imported my mp3,, assigned it proper linkage, and inserted this AS2 :
[Code]...
The buttons are named "play_btn" and "stop_btn" respectively. When I export it or preview it, hitting the play button does not do anything.... I hear no sound. What could be up with this?
Im making an animation and in the 3rd scene i have a deer that screams and the sound plays way to early. I had to drag it out way past the frame where it opens its mouth for it to play at the right time.
I have no idea whats wrong this has happened before. I really dont want to have to guess on where to put the sound for everything a character says.
Back to my nightmare project, I've embedded sounds in the project that play based on certain user actions. They play fine for me (PC), but my customer is telling me they don't work for her (Mac).Would there be ANY reason a sound would play on a PC but not a Mac?I've told her to update her Flash player to make sure it's current and to make sure her speakers are on and the volume is up, but no sound.Okay, the REAL reason this isn't working is user error based on everything else I'm told that's happening and not happening, but I need to cover my bases and see if there really may be a reason sounds won't play on a Mac.
I have a playhead that moves across the screen and when it hitTests a movie clip it plays a sound. all is working fine except that it will only work the first time it is played. The playhead is controlled by a button. I am working in Actionscrpt2. Here is the code on the movieclip:
onClipEvent(enterFrame)[code]....
In the begining I was having trouble because the hitTest was playing the sound over and over but the above code sorted that out. I think that the new problem was created by fixing the old one.
I want to achieve the effect of a computer startup. IE, it only plays -once- and then doesn't play again for the rest of the time, even if the user comes back to the same menu. How do I get Flash working that way? I've tried variables to no effect... it doesn't want to change the variable condition.
I have another one to get off my chest.I am basically doing a spinning wheel game - i want the sound to play each time the Stopper hits a new prize section of the wheel.In my code, from my EnterFrame function, i call my playSound function but the sound file just never plays .. i know the function is being called as i can see it in trace.I suspect that because the EnterFrame is constantly being called, that the sound file - because it has determined it won't complete - it ignores it totally.[code]
Anyone know why this keeps playing the same sound over and over?
If I call it using: Code: var sounds:src.snd.SoundManager = new src.snd.SoundManager(); // This isn't how I do it, but ... you understand. sounds.queueSound('libsound1');
I have a small sound effect (less than 10KB) I have placed on my timeline. When I test it directly in flash, I can hear the sound effect, but when I CTRL + test my movie, I can't hear the effect?
I have several buttons on the stage, each one will play an external sound file when clicked. If the user has clicked say button_1 and then clicks button_2, I need to stop the sound currently being played, before starting the sound from button_2
I have a game of you controlling a rocket and avoiding walls.When you hit the walls the rocket goes to frame 50 and plays an explosion sound and an animation then the playhead stops at frame 70.But for some mystical reason when the rocket is still moving (as in not blown up yet) the sound keeps repeating over and over. I placed a trace in the rocket's enterframe event to check its currentFrame but it stays at frame 1 like it should. And yet the sounds still keeps playing. This is just infuriating.
I'm making a project in Flash at college and when I view my project and click on a few tabs the sound from the videos starts playing and I can't get it to stop. The video doesn't play though but it's always the sound and if I press pause the video will pause but the sound keeps on playing.
I have a 355 frame timeline with a sound-clip explaining there are two demonstrations, the first will follow automatically but if the user wants to see the second demo first then to click on the link. When the swf file runs, at frame 350 Demo1 (the first demo) starts automatically as expected. If the link is clicked, the main sound clip stops and the second demo starts but the sound clips for both demos play together.How can I ensure that only the relevant sound clip runs?[code]
I have multple sounds attached to my timeline. When I jump to another frame where the clip doesn't exist anymore the sounds keep playing. All of them are played. Even SoundMixer.stopAll()doesn't help.
I have some code on my button that should play my sound file, but when I run my FLA, it shows an error. The error says, "Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line 1 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: button1" Does anyone know how to fix this? I have exported the sound in actionscript but nothing?
I have 10 swf's, i m displaying 1 swf for each question displaying 1 swf, but problem is i unload the swf and load the next question clip but old one is still playing sound..
I'm building a web site that uses swf's as pages. The menu.swf has 5 buttons one for each page. When I press a button it loads a page with addChildAt (page, 0); so that the menu is always a level above the currently loaded page. When one of the pages open it plays a mp3 in a loop. The music keeps playing when another page loads. The page that was playing the music was also on level 0 so it's gone yet the music keeps playing. How do I make it so the music stops when another page loads?
I have a mp3 file and I would like to play it from one position and for a certain duration. I have first used the Sound class, the play method where I can specify the start but not the duration. I have looked then at SoundEffect class where you can specify a duration and a startTime. However I do not know how to play it from a AS3 class not from MXML : there is a play method ... but I get no sound!
