I have some strange problem while using more than one sound that I want control.
Code:
var myMusic:Sound = new Sound();
myMusic.attachSound("music1");
myMusic.start(0, 999);
myMusic.setVolume(50);
[code]....
When I try to reduce sound volume of 1 sound, volume of all sounds is beeing reduced?!The same situation is when I use tween comands like: this.myMusic.volumeTo(5, 1, "linear");
I'm making a section in my production with 4 audio files which are controlled with a play and stop button. I've managed to make the first one work on the page with this code -
Code:
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
var mySoundReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("audio/track1.mp3");
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
[Code].....
What would I need to copy to control 3 other files the same way? (i.e "audio/track2.mp3" with play_btn2/stop_btn2). I've tried copying part of the code and changing the instant names but I keep getting errors so I'd rather ask somebody who knows what they're doing.

.. but I'd like to be able to control all audio with this slidebar. I have various streaming sounds through a movie, along with background music and one specific voiceover that is loaded via:
m = "track";
createEmptyMovieClip( m, 1 );
s = new Sound( eval(m) );
[Code]....
I need a little advice. I've got a set of swfs that are all part of one training, and within these movies are a few sound effects attached to button instances. I want the user to be able to click a button to turn the sound on or off at any time during the training.
My first idea was to create a variable called wantSound, which each sound instance checks before deciding to play. This is working perfectly. There's a toggle switch on the main timeline that sets sound to on or off, and when a sound is supposed to play, it checks to see if wantSound=true, and plays, or if it is false, it does not.
This works fine on each individual .swf, but when a new .swf loads in, the sound defaults back to true, and the user has to turn it off again. I imagine this could be fixed by loading each movie into different levels instead of loading them into level0 or root, but as this is not how I originally created the file, that will take a lot of work to handle aligning the loaded movies and parking them (making sure none of the buttons are active on the level below). I'm lazy, what can I say? :-)
I've been looking around at similar questions, and found a decent tutorial on Macromedia's site about using javascript to pass a variable from flash to HTML. I went through that, and managed to get Flash to send my wantSound variable to HTML with no problem. Check here for the tutorial.
The only problem is that in macromedia's example for sending data from HTML back to Flash, they use a text field for getting the variable. I just want to take the variable sent from Flash to HTML and send it back to Flash when requested (at the beginning of the next SWF.)
I have a few movie clips running swf's and I need a play/stop button in one clip to control the audio in another clip. The buttons are in the _root clip and the audio is contained in an swf I load into an empty 'content' movie. I have labelled the frame containing the audio but can't seem to use the object hierarchy to access it. On a somewhat similar note, is there a way to have the root movie display the bytes loaded/bytes total of a swf loading over top of the root movie, i.e. in a content empty movieclip?
View 1 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 am using Flash CS3 if that helps and using Actionscript2.
how do u add sounds in your flash?im using macromedia flash pro 8
View 3 Repliesask:i want to create an audio sequence.there are 8 predefined sound-starting-points in the timeline.for each starting-point, the user can select wich sound is played (dropdown menu).when the user made his choice for all the 8 bars.actionscript should gather this information and create a fluid sequence of these 8 sounds.then there will be a "play" button available for the user to start the sequence.the sounds don't have to be synced to a button or so.there is time for actionscript to put the sequence together.problem:when i put two sounds directly one after another in a movieclip, there is no delay between the sounds, which is exactly what i want, but i can not control which sound is played through actionscript.when i use actionscript, there is a delay between the sounds.here is what i tried with as.this is placed in the frame where sound2 should start
if (_global.Sound2 == "Piano" {
var SoundA:Sound = new Sound ();
SoundA.attachSound("Piano.mp3");

I need to turn off/on all the sound for a flash animation. The flash control contains a layer named sounds that has 5 sounds associated with it in keyframes at different time. How can I simply turn on/off everything using a symbol button.
View 2 RepliesI am using Soundbooth to record some sounds. I'm trying to save them as either a MP3 or WAV,but no matter bitrate I use for either file type, I get an error when I try to import it into Flash. I have the newest QT installed from the wormy fruit vendor, does not make a difference. I can save it as an .asnd and import it just fine, but that file type is huge.The files that give me the error open just fine by themselves in WMP

View 1 RepliesI have a main swf which has sound on/off buttons. It has many SWF's which are loaded into different placeholders at different time. All of them have different sounds in them. In addition to that there is a music loop going on in the background.Now, this perticular swf lets call it Father will be placed in some swf later on. What I'm trying to do right now is when the sound off button is pressed turn off all the sounds permanently so the child swf's and their sounds stop too.I have found a way in AS2 :
global = new Sound( ) //no movie clip target path.
and add the following code to your off button.
on(release){
global.setVolume(0); //mutes all sound
}[code]....
which ofcourse does not work for AS3. So how can I stop all sounds permanently in AS3? Secondly what if I have one sound (my background loop) which I want to keep going on.
i want to have the music always playing and the ability to mute different parts. It is for a project where you click on different people and they come to life to play music. a stop and play would not have them in snyc. I have not been using action script long
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
my_sound.load(new URLRequest("triumphant.mp3" ) );
function setMute(vol){
var sTransform:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform(0);

I'm quite new to actionscript 3, but have been playing with some code to generate beeping sounds in flash. It's quite fun, however, I am trying to find a way to space the beeps out for example, having a beep play for one second, followed by a one second break, before another beep plays.
Code:
import flash.media.Sound;
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
[code]........
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.
how do u make something in flash, a file without frames or tweens, have it randomly loop sounds that are in its library? is this possibel?
View 6 RepliesI'm working on a game in Flash, and everything's going along great, until I start trying to play sound effects. The minute I start trying to play a sound, the whole app seems to "hiccup", frames get dropped, and things generally get ugly for a little bit. I'm loading sounds by copying them into my Flash CS3 library, exporting them for ActionScript with a Base Class of flash.media.Sound. I'm playing them through a class that looks a little something like this...
Code:
public class SoundPlayer {
private var _mySound:Sound;
public function SoundPlayer() {
_mySound = new ExampleGame.SoundFromLibrary();
} public function playSound() {
_mySound.play();
}}
This all seems pretty straightforward, so I can't figure out why Flash is complaining when it first tries to play the sound. The sound itself is a 40k. mp3 file that lasts about 2 seconds. Not the shortest sound in the world, but I'm sure I've heard larger sounds in games.
I have a question for stopping all sounds in flash project. And i mean all, buttons, effects, etc..The thing is, I have manually placed various sounds on different frames, on different MCs and buttons inside my flash.Is there any function that will just mute my sounds, or I have to create object for each sound?
View 1 RepliesI have to have relative paths to the sound file assets but for some reason when I change them they are all absolute. Even when the file is in the same directory as the .fla.How can I change the path to sounds in flash to relative?
View 1 RepliesI have 100 swf embedded in a page. The swf are various forms of individual audio playbacks.- an swf button that loads an swf into it that has audio on a timeline streamed. AS3
- swf that has streamed audio using scripting so there is no preloading. AS2Since I have 100 and the user could press all 50 at a time and have this giant noise of sounds and bog down their bandwidth. Is there anyway of:- stopping all playing of swfs that has streamed audio using timeline. I guess that could be like a ALL stop frame command??- stop all sounds coming from the streamed audio swf
I think this might be a tough one: Is it possible to stretch the playback of an MP3 file using Actionscript? Time stretch is when you slow a sound down but don't change its pitch. Basically, it works by chopping up the sound into milliseconds and splicing duplicates of the bits in, thereby stretching the sound.

im having problems putting sounds in my flash game....im using flash MX and im making a tile based RPG game ....i got the background music playing in the first map...but when my character enters the second map, the music stops and play all over again in the beginning.....i want the music to be continously playing while the character is on map 1 and map 2...how can i remedy this? im using this simple A.S for the bg music in map 1:
[Code]...
i tried to remove the line stopAllSounds();....as a result, the music became overlapping when the character transfers from one map to another. Also is there any other way to make maps easier?. coz ryt now im using 2-dimensional arrays for my map....i only have two 640x480 maps now and it's starting to get confusing editing them
Okay, so I'm using
Code:
exampleSound = new Sound(this);
exampleSound.attachSound("exampleLinkageName");
[code].......
i seem to be posting a lot at the moment but i am trying to get my Flash Skills up to date, hope im not annoying anyone too much. Basically i have a small project where pressing a button will trigger a sound, So when i click 'Button1' it plays the sound assigned to 'Button1', I have done this like the following.
[Code]...
Eventually i am going to have 20 different sounds, i know i need to probably assign each sound to its own individual sound channel. i tried manipulating the for statement to say something like var [i]Channel = new SoundChannel; in the hope that it would assign a number next to the SoundChannel thus making it unique,
so I'm unclear about how to set up variables. I prefer to play sounds from my library using linkage,pass an array of sounds into the SoundChannel, so that I can stop them all at once?t's for a 'toggle voiceover' button, so perhaps better to use Sound transform to mute the Sound Array.This is what I have so far. (Page1 etc is my linkage sound name)
Code:
var GlobalVoice:Array = ["Page1", "Page2", "Page3"];
var Globalchannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
[code]......
Where are some good places to get high quality click, ambience, swoosh sounds to use in flash sites/projects etc? So I can use them on rollovers, interface loading etc.
View 3 RepliesI have been working on an animation. I have imported my sounds to the library and streamed them live to the animation. They dont sound as good (muffled and distorted) when I publish the preview (flash or html). They sound fine within flash. When I switched the properties from "stream" to "event" it seemed to work great in the preview. I added a few more sounds and now only the first two mp3 clips sound clear and the rest now sound not so clear. They sound okay but I cant figure out why the rest sound bad? They now all have the exact same settings as the first two..
