What is the best way to attached sound to my movie. I used to used the sound obejct as such:
my_Sound_sound = new Sound();
mySound_sound.attachSound("soundID");
But by under the linkage menu I am only able to select export in the first frame. Which makes my first frame super huge. Than my preloader will not load until the sound, so it is no good.

I have a button with a sound attached to it. The button should play the sound when the mouse is in its down state. When I play the sound in the .swf file the sound plays but it's cut off at the end (maybe the last 3 seconds). I'm using mp3 files for the sound. This is happening with many of the buttons in the program. It's a simple operation within the program. The user clicks a button and voice-over is supposed to play.
View 0 RepliesI have the following problem. I have a attachSound for three wav files in the library. This is the code:
Code:
song1 = new Sound();
song1.attachSound("song1");
song2 = new Sound();
[code].....
This is also working.When I press the button the music stops. When I press the song1 button, song1 start playing again. But when I press on of the othet two buttons nothing happens. This is the code for the buttons:
Code:
on (release){
_root.mc_menu.song1.start();
_root.mc_menu.song2.stop();
_root.mc_menu.song3.stop();
}
I have read lots of posts with similar problems, however, my preloader is slightly different as it is a separate file altogether. I have attached a sound on frame 50 of my movie using 'attach sound'.It plays fine. On my linkage I have ticked 'export on first frame'. When this is not ticked it does not play. So I left it ticked.
My preloader is a seperate .swf that loads the movie that has the sound.I can tell the sound has loaded as the preloader takes a lot longer. However, when the movie has loaded and begins to play the sound just does not exist. Or it is shy and does not want to talk.I can't do the thing everyone is suggesting (moving sound to frame 3 and unchecking 'export on first frame', then modifying my preloader script) because my preloader is separate to my movie.
I have a sound SWF that plays fine on its own. But when I attach it to the main timeline of another SWF there's no sound. How do I need to reference the Sound object and vars to get the Sound to play?
Here's the code for the sound SWF:
Code:
var mainLoop:Sound = new Sound();
mainLoop.attachSound("mainPageLoop");
// Starts at beginning and loops 2 times.

the MC soundLoader is there on the stage, and the file is linked correctly from the library, meaning that it works (the movie makes a single sound when the mouse hovers over it), except that the attached sound plays immediately when the swf loads. This is annoying on a page with about 16 of these!
I've got an array of Strings each of which have been input by a series of coloured buttons with sounds attached. When a play button is pressed the strings that correspond to different coloured sounds should play one after the other. Instead they all play at the same time as one jumbled mess of noise and I have tried everything to get it to work. The trace shows that the for loop through the array seems to be doing the right thing which is why I can't understand why it won't just play back one after the other.
This is the code for the play button:
PlayBTN.onRelease = function(){
trace("PlayButton Pressed");
for(var i:Number =0; i<songArray.length; ++i){
trace("Inside Loop");
trace(i);

I've attached a movie clip using the attachMovie method. I was wondering if it's possible to handle the attached movie clip... I don't know if I'm expaining this correctly but I'd like my movie clip to perform some simple actions (gotoAndPlay, Stop)This is my (lame) script:
//Ataching clip
this.emptyClip.attachMovie("photo001","Img001",get NextHighestDepth());
//Action for the attached clip
this.emptyClip.gotoAndPlay("starting");
How do i change movie clips inside MC3?lets say i have a button called but1 inside MC3, how do i make his enabled=false?

I just want each instance of the movie clip from my collect_array to show up in a different x & y position.
(the collect_array is defined as an array elsewhere). It displays the first item in the array once (or it's displaying all the items on top of each other).
PHP Code:
if (collect_array.length > 0) {

I'm having trouble figuring out how to target a series of movie clips i'm attaching to my movie.I'm loading some xml for a slideshow and i'm generating a series of dots at the bottom of the screen to indicate how many steps are in the slideshow and the circle is meant to highlight your current position as you step through the presentation.the MC for the dots is two keyframes with a different color and a stop action on each frame.
Here's the rundown of the code:
1. There's nothing weird here, i'm just bringing the xml in [code]
2. Here is the loadXML function i reference in the xml.Data.onLoad above:[code]Okay so now i have some dots with the instance names, step0, step1 etc. right? And at the end of my loadXML function you see the firstImage(); function. This is where my problem is, how do i target the first (step0) instance? I have no problem when I write "step0.gotoAndStop(2);" but I need to figure out how to use a variable to keep moving it along when i make my next and last functions for the slideshow.
3. Here is the firstImage function:[code]how do i target the step the same way i target the image? do i have to go back and do something in the loadXML for loop?[code]
is there a cleaner way to attach movie clips than this type of syntax?
_root.attachMovie ("Frame", "frame", 60);
frame._x = 375;
frame._y = 375;

I used the tutorial posted at http:[url]... Now I have a button on my stage that attaches a movie from the library.
on (release) { this.holder.attachMovie(contents�,�contentslinks� ,1); }
It works fine but I also have buttons inside the attached movie clip that need to control a movie that is already on the stage.
contentslinks.contents_link_1.onRelease = function() { content_mc._visible = false; book_mc.directGotoPage(4);
If I just place the attached movie on the stage the buttons work but I when I proceed to use attachMovie, they do not work. How do I get the buttons in the attached movie to address the movie that is already on the stage?
I have a website, when you click a menu item it fades the current page out, and the selected one in. No problems with that, it all works well.
The only problem is, within those attached movies, all the actionscript doesnt work. I have, for example, a research page, which have 4 buttons, each of which attach a movieclip to and empty movieclip... Just a simple attachMovie function, but it doesnt work. If copy the research movieclip into a seperate flash file, everything works and the movies are attached fine, but in the website .fla, after the research page is loaded itself, none of the movies attach properly.
Are there any known issues with attaching movies within an attached movie?
about making a Flash application that sticks to the bottom of a web page, even when scrolling?

Q1) The registration point of a created clip is top left - my question is how can I dynamically change it's registration point - say to center center?
(I am trying to attach a movie clip to a created clip and I wanted it to be centered inside the container - a related sub-question, how can I find the x-y coordinates of the attached movie clip within the created movie clip?)
Q2)When I tried to create two different movie clips, I found I had to create them at different depths, else the first would load and the second would not. Why would that be so? I'm on MX 2004 Pro.
I would like to have one movieclip over the top of other attached ones. I have tried getNextHighestDepth on the movieclip, but it still doesn't work. Here is my code for attaching the movieclips:
PHP Code:
function growSpider() {
spiders = 0;

I have a button that has an onPress function that attaches a movieclip with startDrag(true) so the attached movie snaps to the mouse and can be dragged around. The problem is that I don't know how to set up the onRelease function so that when the mouse button is lifted the attached movieclip is removed. Also, the attached movie appears in the upper left corner for just an instant before snapping to the mouse.
View 9 RepliesBasically its an onPress event handler on a movie clip that attaches another movie to it when pressed.The problem is, I only want the movie clip to be attached once in the designated x,y coordinates, no matter how many times the main object is pressed. I'm essentially trying to write my own FreeTransform script, that allows users to resize the object.

I use attachMovie to call movie clips succesively on the stage. I use a forward button to slide them in progression but when I want to go back in the same order everything gets messed up.
