ActionScript 2.0 :: Syncing Animation With Dynamic Sound?
Sep 23, 2004
on animating a movieclip(s) based on a sound stream..
Basically - something like a spectrum analyzer or a visualization effect for a media player..
It doesn't have to be complex - as the basics are all i'm looking for so that I can expand upon that to fulfill my own agenda
Also - the sound is going to be dynamic, being that the user will specify a file to play, so this can't be done with simple frame animation (unless I were to create ~16,000 different swf files.. .. . . Yea)

I have a Flash movie which is synched to an MP3 file by adding keyframes at the appropriate points to trigger actions.
In the *.fla file, and in an exported *.swf or *.exe Projector file the synching is retained perfectly. However, when I include the *.swf in an html file, the synching is lost. It would appear that either the MP3 file is playing at the right speed and the movie is lagging behind, or the movie is at the right speed and the MP3 is playing faster than it should.
I have matched the Audio Output stream to the MP3 file in the Publish Settings dialogue (both now 128kbps), but the drifting still occurs in an html page.
I am using Flash 8.0 on a PC running Windows XP Pro SP3. I have a quad-core Intel Xeon, and 4meg of RAM.

I'm making an animation in flash CS5, and everything went well with it until a certain scene, which is no different than the other scenes in terms of animation/audio. In that scene, while one character is finishing his audio sentence, the next audio line already begins, screwing up the animation to audio sync in the animation from that point on. This doesn't make sense because the line that begins too early, isn't marked to play until a few seconds into the NEXT scene. Why is this happening? I tried so many things and it's really frustrating that nothing is working. I tried changing the lines from even, to stream, from mp3 to wav, making scenes longer at the end, but no matter what I do, the next audio line begins really early, messing up the entire audio to animation sync of the entire video from that point on.

FLASH CS5
AS3
I would like to sync my sound file with the text on the timeline. This would amount to sound being played and the text changing color when that word is read. I have tried this manually in earlier versions of flash. I timed up the sound file with the text/color. Using this method the results were spotty and not always the same. Sometimes, depending on the computer, it was timed perfectly, others it was a second or so off.
Is there an easier way to accomplish sound to text syncing?
1) Using Flash CS5?
2) Using After Affects? - I thought about using AA because I can control the sound better. But I would prefer to use Flash.
3) Another program?

problem - syncing some background music with a movieclip. I am aware that you can place a sound directly onto the timeline of a movieclip: this was my first attempt at syncing the two up. Unfortunately the problem with this is that the sound (which is quite long) then won't STOP until it finishes playing regardless of whether I stop the movieclip or remove it from the stage. I also have no control over the volume this way.The only other method I can come up with involves keeping track of the current frame of the mc and triggering the sound manually, but this still goes out of sync if too much is happening at once and the framerate drops.

I made about a 1 minute animation synched to music soundtrack. When I play (command Enter) from Flash everything synchs up fine, but when I play the swf alone in the Flash player the audio and animation get out of synch. I tried setting the audio to stream but that made things worse, and I also tried increasing the compression rate of the audio file which helped but is not perfect. I found a snippet of AS2 code that I am trying to convert to AS3 that uses the sounds position to set the frame number via onEnterFrame. I'm also using a frame rate of 29.97.[code]...

It's possible to play a sound file through AS, either by loading it from a folder or import it to flash. It's also possible to play a dynamic tone with flash.media.Sound + writeFloat.
But... is it possible to play a sound file with flash.media.Sound + writeFloat in some way? I want to play a sound file without having to deal with any files except the .swf!

I've just learned this process in the Flash CS4 help manual (page 276), but unfortunately the sound track I placed in a movie clip timeline (used as a button OVER state) doesn't stop playing once I mouse away from the button. So, I presume a simple myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, clickHandler) could allow me to execute a method in a function to stop the repeating sound.

I have trouble with my drawing scene after adding sound. On main timeline I'm using :
[Code]...
The problem is that after calling ( _root.ballInHole.start(); ) my animation slow down. Im just changing position of 32 mc objects with no timeline on OnEnterFrame event of main timeline. When I'm not calling the sound then is everything perfect and fast as intended.

ok so im having an issue with Flash CS5.I have a sound looping, and my animation is only 13 frames long, while the song is like a minute long, so each time the animation loops threw the default "Loop Playback" a new sound audio is played which os overlapping the previous over and over causing a massive echo effect.Whats the best way to loop both of them insync, or atleast copy and paste the animations frames and make it the length of the song?

I am a beginner using AS3 and working on an eLearning lesson using a Flash animation as a breathing exercise. The animation works well, but I need to synchronize 2 breathing sounds with the inhale-exhale animation cycles.I can import the inhale.mp3 and exhale.mp3 into the library. But then, I am not sure how to control play so that when the animation's inhale cycle is displaying (circle on stage expands for a time using a variable for duration, in microseconds: _inhaleDuration), the inhale.mp3 plays until the _inhaleDuration completes. After the inhaling animation, the animation cycle has a brief pause (no sound), then the animation displays the circle contracting for the time in the variable, _exhaleDuration, during which time I need the exhale.mp3 to play its breathing sound. Each sound needs to be synchronized to play only as long as the animation inhale or exhale duration.
I've been reading about sound files online and trying to figure out how to control play by duration using these 2 variables (_inhaleDuration, _exhaleDuration) but so far have not found this. So, I'm stuck and hope someone can provide suggestions, sample AS3 script, so I can add this feature to the animation's Tween function, that expands and contracts the circle, so it also has sounds.

I hope I'm in the right place for this. What I want to do is rather simple but I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to flash, specially scripting.I want to create a perfect loop of a 60 frames image sequence and and an .wav audio loop I created in SoundbooThe animation loops forever without copying the frames over and over again and I want the sound loop also to play forever. Just like it was made in this flash above.What I have so far is this line of code in the first frame of an empty layer:mySound = new Sound();mySound.attachSound("RobotsFTW.wav");Sound.start(0,100);but after some time the audio gets delayed and I have the same sound played over and over again

Can you pause both animation and sound? I know you can do
on(release){
stop();
stopAllSounds();
}
but you can't start the sounds again after that at the place they were at, like a soundtrack. What is the actionscript (if it exists) for a pause and play buttons that also pause and play the sounds?Imported movies pause sound with stop();, do i have to export an swf with like just the soundfile and put that in? Cause i think that would work but sounds like too much trouble.

Im trying to removechild and at the same time stop all the on going animation and sound, in a way reset them so that if this child is added again it plays like it did the first time.

bgFarm.stopImmediatePropagation()
2.
while (bgFarm.numChildren != 0)

I have a working Flash movie, using a couple of AS3 scripts. The main stage has some animation going on. My player.as plays some mp3 clips when I click a button. The problem is, the stage animation stops as soon as the sound starts ie. Sound.play() starts, then animation starts again when the sound ends.
The animation is based on
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loop3D);
so I gather something happens to ENTER_FRAME due to Sound.play(). What is weird is everything works perfectly on the Flash Test movie (ctrl+Enter). The animation does NOT stop during sound. What to do to make sure the animation goes on always?

I'm developing a web app with PHP and I need to test if a page of a website has background music. As many of you already know, this is the list of the tag (I miss someone?) where the background sound can be inserted in a webpage:[code]While checking if there's background audio because of the presence of the tag bgsound or audio is easy to do, testing if a flash animation has the sound is not so easy (at least for me).I know that I can check if a tag embed has in the src attribute something like sound.mp3 but how can I test if the sound is totally embedded in the flash animation?I searched a lot to find an answer but unfortunately I've not found one.

I have made a 5 min animation with stream sound. Its playing perfectly in PC. But in mac,its not playing. Stream sound starts from frame 60. So mac plays the swf plays till 60 frame, after that it pauses. I tried importing different sound format (wav, aif, mp3) and tried with all sound export setting but the problem remain same; its playing only till 60. When i removed the sound, it played till end. Even with event sound, it plays till end. But with stream sound, the problem. The problem is only in mac; in pc its perfect.I am using VMware Mac OS x leopard in window xp for testing purpose. I tested it in laptop with mac; but the problem is same. What could be the solution?

The quality of sound when playing my flash file on the timeline in flash CS4 is excellent, however when I go to test movie the sounds quality becomes awful, like its being played in a tunnel on terrible speakers, my sound files are .wav files, am I missing a process I must do to ensure the quality of sound is carried through to the final published animation?

I have a few animations that run on different scenes each time a scene is loaded the external audio should start with it. Well here is the thing the animation always starts before my audio files and each scene gets bugged. I need to create an action that only allows my scene to start with the audio and also starts loading the next audio so it wont be dellayed.
On the first scene I have the following code:
scene 1 frame 1
var autoPlay:Boolean;
if(!autoPlay){
stop();}
scene 1 frame 2 animation starts and audio 1 loads
import flash.media.Sound;

I am making a little flash animation, and for this one scene, I need an animation to loop over and over, while a soundtrack plays underneath.
My sound file is 867 frames long. My animation is 20. I want the animation to loop every 20 frames, and the sound to loop every 867. I tried with making the animation loop by itself, and it started the sound from the beginning every 20 frames. While the sound beneath it was still playing.
In other words, is there a way so that a sound layer is not affected by the looping of the animation?

I need to learn how feasible it is to automatically assemble Flash animations which take a background image, an animation (or a set of vector drawings that can be turned into an animation) and a sound file from a set of files. In other words, assume that I have the following set of files:
3 background images (let's assume JPG)
3 animations (no sound, no static background)
100 sound files (let's assume MP3)
So if I want to code something like:
for i 1 to 3
for k 1 to 3
take animation i
take background image k
for j 1 to 100
take sound_file j
resulting_swf = assemble (animation[i], background[i], sound_file[j])
save(resulting_swf)
Which will produce 900 Flash animations with different combinations of sound and background, what is the starting point? Are there some libraries (in Python, Perl, PHP, etc.) with good documentation and examples to develop something like that, some program that I can run from the command line?

When the user for example, Switches a tab in firefox or something. The sound on the video will continue to play, but the animation will pause. Leading the animation to become out of sync with the sound.
Is there a way to make the animation continue playing even if the tab has been changed??

FrameSync is a free Flash extension, originally released nearly 2 years ago, that allows you rapidly lip-sync your characters with an audio track. Version 2.0 allows you sync your characters even faster and easier than before. ew features include a keyframe mode, audio playback and frame navigation for Flash CS5, and performance improvements.

I'm working on adding sound effects to a short animation. The first few sounds are syncing perfectly, however when I test the movie in Flash Player, at about the middle part of the animation, the sounds no longer sync; they play ahead of where they are supposed to. Testing the movie right in Flash, though, the sounds are fine. Exporting to a SWF file as well as a MPEG-4 also plays the unsynched sounds where they are not supposed to be

We developed one application in which a user can chat with a customer. But FLV size of user is double than that of customer FLV. At the time of playing we are getting problem of sync issue between FLV files. We are setting buffer size of 10 seconds. Is their any other way so that we can sync both FLV and an officer can view the communication of user and customer. Is DVR will do in sync? If yes then how?
