I'm planning to implement as sound that will simply play in the background of my site. The sound file is just under 30 seconds in length. Obviously I want this to loop ... can I set it to do so using ActionScript? If so, would you mind providing me with some sample code?
View 3 RepliesWe have found that if you skip over frames that include nested movieclips with embedded timeline sounds, those sounds loop endlessly.For example, if you gotoAndStop(20) from frame 2, but frames 5-10 have a CLIP A that embeds CLIP B, which has a timeline sound, you hear that sound over and over again (even though the playback head never touched the frames with that clip).Does anyone have a convenient workaround (other than the obvious -- playing sounds dynamically, etc). For animation-sync reasons we need to use timeline sounds in this particular case.
View 1 RepliesSo im recreating my ear training program with more effective coding so i can add on to it. original i did.
//88 C8
var mp3Req88:URLRequest = new URLRequest("88.mp3");
var mp3_88:Sound = new Sound();
mp3_88.load(mp3Req88);
I basically got 88 sound files (each note of the piano) doing this code 88 times for each sound. with mathamatical equations made my ear training program.
Is there a simpler way to import these sounds in a loop of some sort so i dont have to do this 88x for the piano and however many times for the other instruments i will be including?
thus var i have tried things along the lines of below with failure
var i:int;
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
var pianoMP3Req+i:URLRequest=new URLRequest("piano/"i+"mp3");

i have a soung loop that i want to "loop" in my movie.this is my script:
mySound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("loops/music.mp3",true);
the problem is that it only plays once (5 seconds long) and then stops, how do i get it to loop? - short of placing it on the timeline.

I used to dynamically set some variables using a FOR loop kinda like so PHP Code:
//Sorry, from memory
var possibleValues:Array = ["red","green","blue","yellow"];
for (i=0;i<possibleValues._length;i++){
_root["colorNumber"+i] = possibleValues[i];
}
Second question, using that code in a function would set the variables at the root level making them available throughout the timeline. Without "_root" how do I get that variable available to everything?
I am having a bit of a nightmare with a site i am trying to build at the moment and would be most grateful for any help. I have a menu bar which is made by looping through an array of the menu options (and submenus) and then attaching a menuitem movieclip in each case (then setting the text). The menuitem movieclip contains a dynamic text field and also actionscript to draw the background depending on the current settings (colour, border etc).I have a variable in my root fla file called menuwidth and this is used within the menuitem movieclip to define the width of the menuitem. When i set this to one value it works absolutely fine and creates the menus accordingly. i can change this to whatever size i want (including calculating the size of the largest option and then setting it to that, to ensure all options fit).
I have been trying to code it so that the menu options can be different sizes (in the event of a horizontal menu) so that you can have one that is wider than another. The code has become quite long (due to submenu and other functionality) but in a nutshell it is:[code]Instead when i use the code above all of the menuitem movieclips end up the same width as tthe final one (so if there are 5 menu options and the starting length is 50 then the ending length is 75 then all of the movieclips are 75 wide). When i try and debug it and check the value of _root.menuwidth inside the menuitem movieclip it states that it is set at 75 every time with no variation at all.It is almost as if it doesn't run the attach movie commands until the loop has finished, at which point all of them execute (and _root.menuwidth has already increased to it's highest possible value), but i can't see how this would make any sense.Obviously there are a number of other options that could be at fault, but i am trying to whittle it down and would be most grateful if anyone could explain to me if the above logic holds true and that increasing the _root.menuwidth value within the loop just before callin attachMovie should cause each one to be progressively bigger?

I am trying to have "bMC" load into and repeater for however many XML props there are. within "bMC" are two MC's that on click would open window or grab file and One Text field which would load in caption. For some reason the "bMC" isnt even loading at all. Attached is the .Fla
does setting the fixed property of a Vector to true before entering a loop is better for performance?
View 6 RepliesI followed the mp3player tutorial (part 3) from [URL] and got it working fine. Only problem is that the setVolume I'm trying to use with my music is affecting all my other sounds - button sounds and background sound. I'm aware of the createEmptyMovieClip/attachSound approach and got it working on my other sounds. But Lee's tutorial-mp3player is using a slight different technique, and so my normal approach doesn't quite work.

I want to synchronize sounds perfectly to do a kind of Audio Mixer, using different sounds. [URL] does it perfectly, I've been researching and researching and I just don't know how to do it! How does [URL] synchonize audio so perfectly? you can even change sounds and the new ones will come on time! How do I do that? Is it just Action Script? or something else?
View 1 RepliesI have a film with 4 scenes in it: Here's a link to the film and as you can see the film does not play the music the second time because of the StopAllSounds function which is probably the wrong code to use. The first scene is just a button with 1 frame, a stop action and a music clip. The second scene is the film. The third scene is the credits fourth scene is a Play again button. I have a Stop all Sounds action on the fourth scene because if I do not use it and I press the Play Again button, the music from the first song keeps playing but also the music from the film starts up again so it starts to play twice. What I want to know is, how do I get the music to stop at the end of the film but start up again once I hit Play Again?

I would like to create a loop so the icons in the menu continually loop indefinitly.[code]
View 2 RepliesI am attempting to use a loop to create text field with the loop's current value. The code looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i = 1; i<=10; i++) {
var 'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt':TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.x = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.y = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.text = "Hello World"
}
So essentially what it should do is create 10 text fields at 40, 40 with the text: "Hello World".

I have need of loops / nested loops that pick different figures depending on where you are in the loop. The whole function needs to run through 'ml' times. 'ml' is a dynamic figure. Loop 1 = While the loop is within the first 12 iterations, 'exconemp' must equal 100. For iterations 13 - 24, 'exconemp' must equal 102.5, for 25 - 36 it will be 105.06, for 37 - 48 it will be 107.69. This needs to change every 12th iteration until it has reached 'ml'. The calculation takes the value of the previous 'exconemp' and then multiplies that by 0.025.
Loop 2 = While the loop is within the first 120 iterations, 'abc' must equal 0.015 and any further iterations must use 0.01. This must also work in a way to figure out whether 'ml' is higher or lower than 120 and work accordingly. My main issue is this - how do I get the loops to run through as this: While the iteration is < 12, do this, THEN take the final figure (12th iteration) and start on 13 - 24, do this THEN etc etc. How do I produce a THEN statement? I can get the code to pick up the final values, but not change along the way.

So basically within this code check_win is a button. Once the button is clicked it runs the loop. It is meant to take an instance of matches which contains 6 properties and loop until index is greater than matches.

Basically, I have data organized by date in an XML file. I'm trying to make a website application that will allow the user to click on a date (in a text field) to see another textfield populate with all the data under that particular date. So far, all the information loads into the textboxes at the same time. How can I get it to only load information under a particular date when somebody clicks on that date?
Before I started this project, I was convinced I could do this by manipulating the [j] (see code below) in the myFunc2 function.

I feel that if I could atleas get this part to work - I could probably do the rest.
