ActionScript 2.0 :: Attached Sounds Won't Play When MC Is Loaded Into Another MC
May 27, 2005
I'm really at loss here (6 hrs straight and liters of coffee and i cannot indetify the problem) and I would REALLY really appreciate your help-- A LOT *sigh* Here's the scenario: I'm tying to build my new flash site as modular as possible (learning from past mistakes). Among others, I'm importing a MC containing all menu functions onto the main timeline via loadMovie(). This mcMenu.swf also contains the sound effects for the menu which are being attached via actionscript in the first frame:
Im using loadMovie within a .swf on level 1 to load an external movie into level 2. But when this happens the sound function doesnt work. The 2nd movie being loaded has the newsound defined and everything within itself. It plays if i run that swf seperately or using ctrl+enter. Yet when the 1st movie calls the 2nd movie onto level 1 at runtime.The sound in the 2nd movie doesnt play. But its button sounds all seem to be working.
I have five different scenes all including three different buttons. When I test the buttons in "play scene" - all buttons sounds correctly in all scenes. But when I play movie, there is sound only with one button (the same button in every scene). I have looked for differences, but this button seem to have all the same parameters as the others.
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.
I am using a button (btn1) to attach a movie (hole01). The movie attaches fine but I can't seem to get it to go to the second frame of the attached movie and play.
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 have several sounds, how can I play them one by one. When I just use play(), the sounds play simultaneously. I also tried to handle SOUND_COMPLETE event, but it doesn't work.
I have an AS2 .swf that I'm loading into an AS3 file. The AS2 .swf uses the old AS2 Sound Object, which of course works fine when I play the AS2 .swf directly, but when I load it into the AS3 file the sound stops working. Everything else in the AS2 .swf works fine. I'm loading the AS2 .swf with this:
Code: // Load AS2 .swf into AS3 holder var myMC = new Loader();
Now all of my sounds are playing at once! Each symbol has its own MP3 file in it (MP3 file names are the same as the symbol names for ease, so smokescene.mp3 goes with smokescene and etc.)
import flash.events.MouseEvent; // make the characters invisible birthdayscene.visible = false; dancescene.visible = false;
can somebody explain me this 32 sound channel limit, i am not sure i quite understand it..does this mean i cant play more than 32 sounds at once, or i cannot externally load more than 32 sounds (without actually playing more than 1 in any given time)?i am saying load because i am planning on preloading multiple sounds and have them ready for playback as soon as i want.
I did a search on the forums and found 2 threads that were relevant but didn't quite get what i wanted out of them.I've loaded a movieclip using attachMovie(); and ive put it into an empty movie clip (as you would with external MC's)My question is how i will go about targetting the loaded movieclip and having it play a certain frame.[code]
I have some background music playing on my website and when I click to play one of my FLV on the site I want to background music to mute. Also when the FLV is finish (complete) the background music back on.
how to do this, I'm a little rustly on this but know it is easy to do, seen it done many many times?
I have several swf file that will be loaded into the main swf file. In the sub swf file I coded & attached sounds and play it. And the problem is that when it is loaded in the main swf file the play/pause button won't work.
I am making a slide show, for every image i want sound on it. For example if it the "Tiger" in the image, it says "Tiger". I have all the voice in .wav format.
Right now my slide show is xml based and in as3, i have made another attribute for voice.
Let me know how i can play different sounds for different images.
Is it possible in actionscript 3.0 to play chain of sounds (i.e. several mp3s)?Or should I manually start playing first sound, wait for SOUND_COMPLETE event, then start second sound and so on?
I am new to flash and have made a presentation in Flash 8 using preloaded presentation formats.i deleted all the codes in actionscript that were there in the template.Now when i publish my presentation, sounds of all screens start to play together in the first screen.
I'm loading SWF B into SWF A... SWF B has sounds in it's library that have been exported for actionscript. Can I access those from SWF A? And if so, how?
My project calls for a single swf that, sent a filename variable through the page in which it is embedded, will load a mp3 file and play it on demand. Whole process is called streaming. I got that down cold. But visualization! My client tells me that he wants visualization, like in Windows Media Player! Of course, I said, you can't expect something that graphically appealing, out of Flash. But I still must relate some kind of visual aspect to the sound imported, updated only via script.
In fact, I was told by this needy consumer that the little sound-listening console at Flashkit would be a perfect result. Either a bunch of bars, or a windows-media-player-esque wave scope. That's what I need, and I have no idea where it start with getting Flash to detect different qualities of the sound.
The only thing I could imagine would be user-set volume, balance, etc. but that would result in a box being resized by anything the user changes, so it's out of the question.
I have a website that has two flash items on it. I have a swf that calls mp3s that plays on the page load, and I have a FLV that plays on page load. What I would like to happen is: on page load the FLV plays when the FLV Finishes the swf starts to play the mp3s. What already happens is that the pages load in _blank pages so they are in new windows. This is good because while you navigate the site, the music from the homepage is still cycling through the swf's mp3 playlist. The problem comes in when you navigate back to the homepage from a new window, and the homepage is still open within the first window. That means that the video plays over, while the music is playing, and the music doubles up. Now the video playing isn't bad, it's that music is doubling up. Can't it sense itself playing a 2nd instance of itself on another webpage and stop it?
I want to push a button, and play through the entire array one sound at a time. When the first sound stops, the second begins, etc. all the way until the last sound plays. When the last sound finishes, all sound should stop, and if you push the play button again, it should start over at the beginning, and play through all sounds again.
I'm thinking the SOUND_COMPLETE needs to be used... I'm just not sure how, hence the empty function. I only want to have to push play one time to hear the entire array in a sequence.
var count; var songList:Array = new Array("test1.mp3","test2.mp3","test3.mp3"); count = songList.length;
I really do not know how to begin but I have 5 sounds that have been saved in the library with the following linkage names[code]...
How do I place these in an array and have them play in order from explode_sound to explode_sound4 (once one stops playing go immediately to begin playing the next one)? I'd like to add a 2-second delay before the next audio clip plays though.
I have figured out how to play a sound with AS3, but i cannt figure out how to use multiple sounds. to play a single mp3, i am using this:
Code: //number that is redefined when the pause button is hit var pausePoint:Number = 0.00; //a true or false value that is used to check whether the sound is currently playing
[Code]....
but what I need to do is have 4 different mp3's, each with its own stop & play button, so the user can play any file they want. These are voice over reels, not music, so each needs its own set of buttons.
On my stage I have 2 empty MC holders, each of them in a seperate layer. In the bottom mc holder called 'map' a map image is loaded from my XML file using MovieClipLoader. This works fine.
What I want to achieve is that on top of the map, 24 PNG images with Alpha channels are loaded into seperate MovieClips attached in MC holder 'projects'. For every PNG image a MovieClip from my library is attached in order to determine the hit shape of the PNG image. This works fine too!
However all of sudden my first 2 MovieClips with the PNG images in it dissapear as soon as all of the images are loaded. But when I roll over on of the other MovieClips they suddenly show up again and when rolling out they dissapear again!
It has nothing to do with my XML file nor my PNG images, because when I move my first 2 XML nodes (the ones that are dissapearing) to the end, 2 different MovieClips dissapear! It worked absolutely fine before but since I added 2 more MovieClips the problems started. It almost looks like I can't load more then 22 PNG images, but that would be extremely weird.
I tried creating the first half of the MovieClips in one MovieClip and the second half in a different MovieClip, but that doesn't change anything. But when I create the first half of the MovieClips in the _root and the second half in a MovieClip, only 1 MovieClip dissapears instead of 2!
I really don't get it. I'm totally confused and lost since I don't know what else I could try.
Here's my AS2 code:
Actionscript Code: var pimage = new Array();var pmc = new Array();var ptitle = new Array();var phit = new Array();var ptooltip = new Array();var pmenu = new Array();var ptotal:Number;var phalf:Number;function fillProjects() { nodepath =
what it has to do is to generate "j" buttons (j being the number of registrations from my database) and arrange them in rows of 5 or 6. unfortunately the buttons are generated but are not arranged properly. i have 9 registrations in the database so there are 9 buttons... the first 8 are next to each other and the last one is somewhere to the right.further on, at the release of a button it should create the lwLogo movieclip and load there a certain pic (the path being taken from my database). then the lwLogo mc should be centered on the screen... as this doesn't happen in the _root the center of the screen would be -442 in this movie clip so normally to center the image i should place lwLogo at -442-(lwLogo._width/2) but this doesn't work. the photos are loaded but not in the center.[code]
I exported sounds into subMain.swf and when I publish the movie, and I tell them to start,they do. But, when I load subMain.swf into my main.swf and I tell them to start from there, they don't.
