if I am playing a sound using start like this:
mySound.start();
is there a way to detect when the sound is done playing? i want to make something happen but only after the sound is done playing.if i know the length of the sound, can I just wait that many number of seconds, or will it not synch up on slower/faster computers?
I wonder if there is a way to detect if an FLV has sound embedded in it. I have various videos that I am streaming in and some have sound and some don't. Those that don't, I want to hide the volume controls and mute button and (you guessed it) those that do have sound, I want to show the volume controls, etc...
I know that I could make an extra flag in my XML file that describes the videos but I am wondering if there is any fancy pants way of using some sort of built-in, unpublished sound detection within the NetStream or NetStatus Event.
Is there a way with actionscript to detect different sound levels / pitches , etc? It wasnt possible with flash mx 2004, and therefore we had to use a program like flashamp.
View 1 RepliesI am triggering short sounds dynamically from the library for a game (Specifically Air for Android). When the user clicks a button the sound can take up to 600ms to actually play. I have set it for any silence before the actual sound by calling the sound like so:

I have a flash header that was never completed because the guy I hired took people's money and ran. So now I even wonder if what he said could work with my flash header is true or not. But, usually there is always a way to make it work.
I have a flash header that does two important things: 1) Upon entering the site, it loads and plays an audio track 2) Makes an animal noise when you hover over each animal menu item. (not sure if I'm able to give a link to it or not on here. If I able to and someone would like to see it let me know)
I want to know if my flash header can support the following additional functionality/changes:
1) Currently, it loads everytime a page is selected. I only want it to load the one time of entering the site because the audio gets annoying. Set a cookie maybe?
2) But, I do not want to turn the audio off completely because I still want the hover over each menu item sound.
3) Have a link on it to allow them to select to turn on / off the sound completely. It currently has that, but only for the current page. Once you select another page, the audio is back to on.
4) Lastlly, is there a way for it to detect that someone doesn't support flash and to display an html version of it? And can flash create a html version from my fla file?
I don't know much about flash (but am learning) so I'm not sure if I'll be able to do this myself. However, I want to find out if my flash header will even work this way before I invest the time learning it just for these changes. I know it will be pretty deep with script code, but I'm hoping I could find base code already available for these features. Not sure I can afford help now because of being laid off and two different scammers taking advantage of me. So I'm going to try to do myself and see if there is any suggestions/support on here that can help. I have Flash CS4.

I am using a flash app. I can send and receive streaming data to FMS by using this app, like the chart I attached. [URL] This app uses RTMP to access to FMS. I want to upgrade this app to display sound level of each client. Is it possible by using Actionscript and FMS? If so, which class should I use?
View 3 RepliesI have a project that requires me to display the waveform for a uploaded sound. The sound is always an MP3, most of the time 22.05 kHz mono, with speech only. The project are written with Flex/ActionScript 3. It's meant to run in the browser, but might also consider converting to AIR if that can help.
All examples I've found and looked at for generating a wave, are either doing some visualization in real time as the sound is playing, or, the most promising, as3soundeditorlib, keeps the wave already generated, but does it very slowly, seemingly using as long time as playing through the audio would've taken.Is there any way to generate the wave faster than real time?
I am using the following to extract the byte info from a sound object - however if I go back to the same sound object and run this again, The byteArray has no bytes available.
var data:ByteArray = new ByteArray;
sound.extract(data,sound.length*44.1);
data.position = 0;
return data;
Is this the correct behavior? Is there not a way to do this multiple times on the same sound object?
I have some sounds in my library. They are all exported and have been given class names like C, D, E etc. I have another class that represents a button. This class stores a reference to one of the Sound in my library. I set the type for this variable to Sound. When I try to set it I get the error: cannot convert C$ to flash.media.Sound I try as Sound, for example key.note = note_array[p] as Sound; The value ends up as null.

View 1 RepliesI use Flash MX 6.0
1) I have a button and when I put cursor over it, it must start looping a sound. When I drag away, the sound must stop. I would be even cooler if it was possible to make the sound fade away when the mouse is rolled away. I have no problem creating another sound file that fades my current sound away.
2) I have a button which represents a knife, that should stab something (a panel) once pressed. So fist the knife must be clean. but after one or more presses, the blood should remain as a movie clip (as I want to animate the dripping blood)
3) once rolled over a button, the sound must start looping (as I wrote in 1.) AND the knife should slowly go backwards (MC). BUT when I roll mouse away, the sound fades away (as in 1. again) PLUS the knife should slowly move back to its place in stead of just jump from one place to another.
I'm having some trouble getting the following code to work - trying to use the new Sound.extract() function to get two seconds of a Sound into a ByteArray, and then create a new bytearray with a WAV header, and then output the file.

I think I may have some of the WAV header settings may be wrong but I'm not quite sure what's the matter and after a long time scratching

I have a long mp3 file hosted on a standard apache server (30 minutes long so far, but I would like it to work with longer sounds too).I'd like to start playback of this audio within at a specified point. When attempting to use Flash Actionscript 3, my basic tests show that ALL the audio from the start to the position I choose is buffered before playback (Sound.bytesLoaded was my friend here). If I start one second in, it takes about 3 seconds to start playback, 30 seconds in, takes about 25 secondsObviously with a really long mp3, like skipping playback to the middle of a 3-hour audiobook, this isn't going to be practical.Here's the ActionScript 3.0 code I'm using:
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, function():void {
var s:Sound = new Sound();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://example.com/audio.mp3");

I have a broadcasting project that I've got where the host of the show can have multiple sound effects they can use on their show.I'm wondering if the only way to go about this is for all the clients listening to the show need to download the mp3 of that sound effect or if the sound effect could come from the host ...like combining his mic (for his voice) but also straight audio (the sound effect) into the stream.
View 1 RepliesIt appears my sound is off sync and the longer I play the movieclip, the farther off sync it goes. Its nothing too complicated, just some basic shooting sounds that fire every time I hit the space bar. My code is below:

The Attack() method gets called from another class that handles all keyboard controls.when it gets called the sound then plays.firesound and firesound2 are almost the same. firesound2 sounds a little off pitch to make it sound more realistic.At first the sound sounds pretty good, not great. but then it gets terrible as time passes.
I made a new .fla project. and I attached the following class to it by it self. so the following is the only code in the entire .fla project and the issue still occurs. I press the spacebar and the sound starts a day late.

I wrote something to capture sound from my microphone. I can visualise the sound data with SoundMixer.computeSpectrum.is there a way to mute the sound and still get sound data from SoundMixer.computeSpectrum?Now I have this:
sc=son.play();
var t:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform(0, 0);
sc.soundTransform = t;
but I do not get any data. if I pump up the volume, data comes through again(I need to mute it because it will echo otherwise).
I'm trying to play a sound using a technique found here (play the sound by sampling raw sound data gathered from the original with extract()), with the difference that the mp3 sound is embedded in the swf, not loaded externally. This is my code:
var soundBytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
var mp3sound:Sound = Sound(new Sound1_design()); // this is the embedded sound
mp3sound.extract(soundBytes, int.MAX_VALUE);

This works, in a way, except that the resulting sound is distorted (it has a kind of a metallic ring).
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 use this class as a base for all my streaming sound. It gives you two missing properties not available in the Sound class: a reliable soundchannel always available for referencing and a latency value indicating how long it took for your last call to play() to actually play the sound. I'll probably post it on my blog when I get the time but here it is:

crows.loadSound("Raven.mp3", false);

I am loading small sounds dynamically with the loadSound command. These small sounds are activated with a rollover. see script below. This works ok. however. i want the first sound to keep playing while the rollovers load sound. a bit like playing the piano. This works ok when i import all the sounds into the library and place them on their very own button. however the size of the flash movie increases to 140k. whereas when i load them dynamically the size of the movie is 20k. obviously i want to load dynamically.
But with dynamic loading each sound stops when another sound is rolled over, so that there is only ever one sound playing at once. I need to load the sound into a different level or something, so that the first sound can keep going while the smaller, shorter sounds play over the top. this is my script below. The first sound loads when the movie starts. This is the one i want to keep playing. Then there are the smaller ones with rollovers. does this make any sense? there's actually 13 little sounds.
