how do i dynamically add sounds from the library? i have tryed
Code:
_root.attachMovie("sown", "sown",999)
//and
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
my_sound.loadSound("sown", false); //externaly the file is also named "sown" (no extension)
I was working on a file where I imported a few sounds to the library but now lost the actual sound files, but I have the sound in my library (in the fla). How can I use them through AS3? Currently I do something like: Quote:
var music:Sound=new Sound(newURLRequest("outbreak.mp3"));
var sc:SoundChannel = music.play();
how can I access the sounds in the library?
It seems like we have hit a limit in how many assets (movieclips/sounds etc) that we can have in our library. We can export at the moment, but if we put in another cutscene or sound flash wont export. It shows the progress bar but when its done the .swf dosent show up and cannot be found in the project folder.
Some file info:
Swf - 9mb
Fla - 128mb
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 know flash has problems with preloading files that use linkage... i know it has something to do with 'export in first frame'. because when you have that checked you can preload it because its on the same frame as the preloader... but if i dont have it checked it isnt exported and when i click a button i cant hear anything... how to work around this? how must i preload / link my embedded sound files?
View 1 RepliesI 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.
View 1 RepliesIt's got 5 tabs, and will give the user the options to play about 10 sounds per tab.I have initially been loading the sounds on runtime, so whenever the user clicked a button to play that sound, I would do something like:
var sound:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("assets/hello.mp3"));
sound.play();
I'm not sure, but I don't think this is very good, since I would be loading that sound over and over again if the user pressed the button too many times.
I then thought about embedding the sound in each of the views (I have one view per tab), so would embed the sounds whenever the view was loaded. I think this is a better options, but still am a bit unsure about how the embed works exactly.
[Embed('assets/hello.mp3')] private var hello_mp3:Class;
I suppose it simply embeds the mp3 files when the swf is compiled (making it bigger), but they would not be loaded anymore once the app starts, or once that view is initialized again.
I 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?

How to call a movie dynamically from library in CS4 ?I have already made a separate movie clip.I went to advanced, linkage

also it gives error even if i do not right anything on AS3 "Class or Interface not present"
I am trying to call in images dynamically from my Library in a more efficient manner.
With an bitmap image in the Library set up for actionscript with the class name of 'itemFromLib', i tried:
Code:
function placeImage():void {
var _img:itemFromLib = new itemFromLib();
var _bitName:Bitmap = new Bitmap(_img);
[Code].....
Both with the results of an error that "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type flash.display:BitmapData."
figure out how I can create Button from Library dynamically ?

View 1 RepliesI am dynamically creating a .swf using the Ming library for PHP. It doesn't support sound objects but it does support streaming MP3 Files. I need to know what happens to a .swf with an exported .mp3? I am hoping that using something like swf2flv will embed the .mp3 into the .flvBefore we get into a debate about reasons NOT to convert a .swf to a .flv it is absolutely necessary for my project.
View 4 RepliesI have Button components that are populated dynamically. The buttons need to each have an icon (using the button.icon property).The icon however, is retrieved via webservices so all I recieve is a URL to the jpg that needs to be loaded as the icon. When using the icon property, you load an instance of something in your library over the top of your button. So I was wondering if there was a way to retrieve this url, and load it into the library which would then allow me to use it as an icon??
View 4 RepliesI want to load one out of 18 different instances from my library (exported as mc1-mc18). In AS2 this was simple! I fetched the variable (whC) that contained the name of the movieclip to be loaded and just put it into attachMovie
AS2:
Code:
_loc.attachMovie(whC,"clip"+k,this.getNextHighestDepth());
In AS3 do I have to use this long if/else statement to make it work the same?
Code:
public function fetchTile(whC:String):MovieClip {
if (whC=="mc1") {
fetched= new mc1();

I am in the process of creating an info box Object, which displays one of the five organizational informations, dynamically on the user's choice. All the code is in the associated Class.I am stuck with one issue. It requires adding a PNG image, from a set of 5 small images, placed in the Library, on the top-left corner of the movie; appropriate to the contents. I tried adding an image container movieclip at the required position; but don't know how to attach the image, from the library, to this container.

View 3 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.
i'm porting an old AS2 project to AS3, And have encounter a problem. I've tried a few different things but had no success.
in AS2 when dynamically attaching a MC from the library i would sometimes use an array. the array would hold linkage reference's, like so;
var mc:String = state_ar[currentState];
this.container.attachMovie(mc,mc,this.getNextHighestDepth());
targetMC = this.container[mc];
How would i do this in AS3?
I am loading an external SWF containing uninstantiated MovieClip Symbols. I can get the SWF loaded, no problem. If I call:loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition( "TestClip" ) as ClassI get the class of a Library symbol called "TestClip", which I can then instantiate. Jawesome.The issue I'm having is that basically I want to have access to all of the Library symbols without needing to explicitly know their names. I was hoping to use:
describeType( loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain );
...to get reflective access to the Library symbols, but the XML returned doesn't seem to include any references to them. Perhaps I'm calling it on the wrong object? I also don't want to have to explicitly create coded instances to gain access. This is for a tool for Flash artists, and it's important to avoid code, even simple code.
Trying to load images dynamically from library NOT externally since i want these images to be loaded when the site is launched. Basically i have several buttons, each button returns an event that throws a specific image name to grab. Here is the function;
function sendDisplayData(e:MouseEvent){
display_mc.displayName.text = e.currentTarget.parent.menuItemName.text; //name of image eg. "myImageName" in the library;
//create the image object
[code]....
So how can i make this function dynamic by using a String and then grabbing the image related to that string from the library.

View 2 RepliesHow to add random movie clip to stage from many different movie clips in library? If I wanted to add one movie clip to stage I would do liko so:

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMove);
function onMove(e:MouseEvent):void {
var mc:MovieClip = new Ball();
mc.x = mouseX;
mc.y = mouseY;
addChild(mc);
}
Code above works perfect but I tried following but with no success, no errors, but nothing happens - no mc's are added to stage. I have 6 movie clips in library and they all are linked, exported for actionscript. On MouseOver I want to add random movie clip from those six movie clips to the stage.
Code:
var myArray:Array = [mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4, mc5, mc6];
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onLoop);
function onLoop(e:MouseEvent):void {
for (var i:int = 0; i< myArray.length; i++) {
var randomMc:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*i);
var mc:MovieClip = new myArray[randomMc];
addChild(mc);
mc.x = mouseX;
mc.y = mouseY;
