ActionScript 2.0 :: Sounds With Linkage Names Volume
Nov 25, 2002
here is a more detailed version of my previous post. I have multiple buttons with random sounds being played on release through linkage of those sounds. Some buttons have 3 sounds, some have 2, which are played randomly. I know there are scripts for volume of each individual sounds, but that won't help here, I have many sounds that need to be controlled by volume buttons. I had 2 ideas: either tell me I can do them or tell me I'm stupid.
Give each sound the same instance name, and have a script increase the volume of that instance, therefore inceasing the volume of all the sounds -OR- Have the code that changes the volume of each sound, and have it do just that: increase the volume of each sound. In other words, have that script for each individual sound, over and over again for each sound (lots of scripting).

I have two swf's. One main movie and one sound movie. The sound movie exports the sounds,
providing linkage which I want to use in an actionscript in the main movie. How do I call upon the sounds from the second movie? The reason why I have two files is that Flash doesn't allow me to choose in which frame the sounds will be exported, it's the first frame or who-knows-when. Would it be a good solution to load the sound swf into the main movie, placing it during the preload of this, and export the sounds with linkage names from this and (later) call upon them from the main movie? Is it possible at all? If it is, how do I do it?

i know flash has problems with preloading files that use linkage... i know it has something to do with 'export in first frame'. because when you have that checked you can preload it because its on the same frame as the preloader... but if i dont have it checked it isnt exported and when i click a button i cant hear anything... how to work around this? how must i preload / link my embedded sound files?

If you try to add an object out of an linkagename in Flex you get errors. Like:1180: Call to a possibly undefined method [linkage name].If I don't want to create classes for every library symbol I'd like to add, is there any other way/praxis of doing this besides using 'getDefinitionByName', so that I won't get errors in Flex?

I have a flash movie with a lot of linked movieclips in my library (mc's with linkage names). I have a preloader in the beginning of the flash movie. However, the preloader doesn't show until (I guess) all those linked movieclips are downloaded first. Then the preloader starts showing, starting at something like 40% . How can I include the linked movieclips in my preloading, such that the preloader shows straight away, from 0% ?

On a movieclip I have a sound that plays whenever the movieclip is dragged over the right object. It works but the problem is that it lowers the volume of the background music (which I don't want). I think that if it were possible to change the type of sound using ActionScript to an Event sound it would work.Here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
unlocking = new Sound(this);
unlocking.attachSound("unlock");
unlocking.start();

Does anyone know of a way to adjust the volume of all the sounds in a swf? I'm looking to build a volume controller that changes the audio level of the swf.

I'm working on a project in which sound plays an important part. I want to be able to adjust the volume of two sounds independently, �nd have access to the position in the soundfile. The code below plays 2 soundfiles ("L36 Bass.wav" & "L36 Perc.wav"). The sounds are declared as 'new Sound' with qualifiers("L36Bass" and "L36Perc" recpectively) in line 03 & 04 within empty movieclips, to allow individual volume-adjustments. The volume-mix between the 2 is then governed by the x-mouse position (line 10 - 16):
[Code]...
This works just fine (as long as the WAV-files are in the library and the option 'Export for Actionscript' is selected). However, when I try to access the position within a soundfile with the statement SndBass.position; this results in an 'undefined-error'. When I remove the qualifier in line 03, and go for 'SndBass = new Sound()' in stead of 'SndBass = new Sound("L36Bass")', the property SndBass.position is available, but, as expected, the individual volume-control is lost.

how to change the volume on individual sounds. I have the sounds linked from the library but when I use the setVolume command in actionscript, it lowers the volume on ALL the sounds and not just the sound I'm trying to target.

I'm having an issue with setting the volume on my sounds.
I have a number of movieclips, that when clicked on, play a sound. I have created an Event Handler for the movieclip, that when it is clicked on, the sound plays, but the setVolume is higher.
I also have background music, set a bit lower than the rest. Here's the issue, when I click on the movieclip that makes it's specific sounds go higher, the background music goes higher also.
How do I set the volume of my movieclip without it changing the volume of the other sound/s?
Here's the code:
Quote:
gameMusic.setVolume(50);
gameMusic.start(0, 500);
[Code]....
I want gameMusic to stay at 50, but it goes to 300 when I click on shark. Why would that change it?

I have seven loops in total. I imported them into the library. i've put each of them in a seperate movie clip with the names loop1,loop2,.In those movie clips, the first (key)frame contains the action stop(); . The second frame is a keyframe too and from here on the sound starts. And of course they loop.Okay, now the buttons to control the movie (Prev, Stop, Play, Next) work fine, but let me explain the system i used. I used a var loopnumber and everytime you click Next or Prev, it '+'es 1 or '-'es 1. I also set a variable number_to_play = "_root.loop"+loopnumber, so you would get _root.loop--number--, where --number-- is 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 7. To actually play the sound, i used tellTarget(number_to_play) {gotoAndPlay(2)}.That's why i added stop(); to the first frame of those clips.how can i make a volume slider for those sounds inside my movie clips ? I've checked this forum already for questions like this but they don't use the system I use.

Flex complains if I want to create an object from a library symbol with linkage: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method [linkage name]. So to avoid this, I create a class for that symbol, in this case extending BitmapData using Flex's new ActionScript Class feature. Flex create that class for me and the constructor looks like this: public function CustomBitmapData(width:int, height:int, transparent:Boolean=true, fillColor:uint=null)

I've created a small music player with a sliding volume control. I'm having trouble with the volume. Though it does control volume properly, if I set the initial volume to less than 100%, the volume always starts at 100% until I move my mouse over the player. At that point, the volume changes to whatever the initial volume is set to.Is this a flash bug, or am I missing something? Here is the affected code (code for other buttons/functions omitted for brevity):
var song_initvolume:Number = 100;
slider_1._x = groove_1._x + song_initvolume;
playSong(0,song_play);[code]....
I'd like to be able to set the volume at say 50%, but the above mentioned behavior happens each time.

I'm building a video player and am kinda stuck at the volume slider part. It's a YouTube style vertical slider, meaning if the slider is in the top position volume should be 100% and if the slider is dragged to the bottom position sound should be 0. Currently it's doing the opposite of what I want :(
Dragging the slider down will make the sound louder, while dragging up lowers it.
Here is my code below dealing with the volume slider.
[Code]....
The (-4) is an offset value so when you drag it all the way to turn it off, it's 0 and not 4. I need to reverse this somehow, so the traces above will swap... going down will make userVolume = 4 and going up will make it 30.

I 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?

I've got a serious of games which in turn load off a main main swf.I have mute and unmute buttons on the main menu and the same buttons in each game.When I unload/load a game I want the volume to stay as it is so they player doesn't have to keep turning the volume off. AudioOff is the button shown when the volume is off and AudioOn is the button shown when the volume is on.The code I've got now keeps the volume on or off through the games but the buttons aren't showing up correct with this code..
if (SoundVolume.volume == 1)

AudioOn.visible = false;[code].....

I converted the slider bar and slider button to buttons. Then, I made the slider button into a movie clip.
Here is the code I placed while slider button was a button:
Code:
on (press) {
startDrag(this, false, left, top, right, bottom);
}
[Code]....
It seems right to me but I don't know. The movie button slides down the slider bar but it just doesn't affect the volume. Going to try to attach my FLA to offer better insight. Just tried to upload it and no matter if it's FLA or zipped FLA, it says it failed.

I 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 am using Flash CS3 if that helps and using Actionscript2.

We've got an Illustrator file with something over 1,000 layers. We're trying to import this into Flash and keep the layer names intact, such that they become the names of the movie clips that are imported for each layer and can be used programmatically. (It is a diagram and arrows, boxes, etc all have callout names that will eventually allow them to link to a database.)As near as I can tell, the Import dialog will NOT pass this info across between the two parts of the dialog.

I started a thread about a reference to a symbol House, in the output window, which was: House_1. A lot of people said some useful things about that. All day I've been thinking about it, and I came to the conclusion that I don't understand things, at a very basic level.
Consider:I make a movieclip which I give the Symbol name Drawer. (I don't export it for AcitonScript.)On the stage I manually place two instances of this Symbol. The first one I give the Instance Name drawer (in the properties panel). The second one I leave nameless.Now if I trace the names of both these clips, by
trace(this.getChildAt(0).name);
trace(this.getChildAt(1).name);
the output window gives me
drawer
instance2
Now I know that the so-called "instance name" which I gave in the Properties Panel (drawer) is, in reality, a variable name which Flash gives my first instance behind the scenes. And instance2 is a name that Flash gives my second instance. What exactly the nature of that name is, I do not know.My point is: both names (drawer and instance2) are the .name property of these movieclips. Otherwise I could not have traced them through asking for the .name property, in the above. Yet only the first of these two can be manipulated:
drawer.x can be set;
instance2.x can (as we know) not be set.
But...why? What is the real difference between these two kinds of names? How can they both be the .name property of their underlying movieclip, yet be of such a different nature? What IS the nature of the instance2 name? If it's a String, how come the .name property of one movieclip can be a variable name, while the .name property of another (but identical) movieclip is a String?
I've searched every bit of web page on the net I could find. But it looks as if nobody addresses this issue. We all just work with it - but it makes no bloody sense. A name property = a name property, you'd think. Whether Flash set it or I set it should not make a difference. The x property of a clip, for example, does not change in nature according to who set it - me or Flash.So, again, just to emphasize the problem: how can a property (the name property) of a movieclip change in NATURE depending on who set it? After it's been set, shouldn't the name property of a clip be of exactly the same nature as the name property of another clip?
