how to load audio and have it ready for after the preloader. I had it export for actionscript before but it loads before the preloader starts which really elimates much of the need for the preloader. I took off the linkage for it to load for frame 1. I search the forums and saw that a few people recommended following link

I have a few animations that run on different scenes each time a scene is loaded the external audio should start with it. Well here is the thing the animation always starts before my audio files and each scene gets bugged. I need to create an action that only allows my scene to start with the audio and also starts loading the next audio so it wont be dellayed.
On the first scene I have the following code:
scene 1 frame 1
var autoPlay:Boolean;
if(!autoPlay){
stop();}
scene 1 frame 2 animation starts and audio 1 loads

Is there a way to make external streaming audio sound file "mp3" loop. my understanding is that streaming audio won't loop, only works for attached sounds...
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
my_sound.loadSound("jazz.mp3", true);
my_sound.start.(0, 99)
This actionscript works but it won't loop..
I'm building a mobile MP3 player with AIR, which streams audio using the Sound class's .load() function. I'd like to cache this audio as it's downloaded, to the the user's SD card. Is this possible without having to download the file twice??
View 2 RepliesI've attached a sound to menu buttons using AS. The sound worked perfectly until I created a external preloader file to load the swf into a container_mc. Now no button sound? If I load the swf without the preloader file the sound works?
Code: Select all//set up sound instance
var btnGrpAudio:Sound = new Sound(mcSoundHolder);
btnGrpAudio.attachSound("beaming");
btnGrpAudio.setVolume(60);
menus[i].btn.onPress = function() {
btnGrpAudio.start(); ....
I want to load some jQuery code before the DOM is ready. I want to make a flash file transparant as the DOM loads. I was going to use something like this but Flash is initilized before the DOM loads.
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('object:not(:has(wmode))').each(function(){
jQuery(this).attr('wmode', 'transparent');
[Code]....
The flash content is coming from our Advertisement Manager, which stupidly enough, doesn't allow direct editing of the HTML, as to add the required wmode attributed into the specific tags...
Is there a non-polling way for Javascript to command Flash right when its external interface is ready? In Actionscript, I've registered a function for Javascript to call:[code]SWFObject lets you run code when Flash has been successfully embedded through a callback. I attempt to run $ ('flash Player'). doStuff in this callback, but it claims it's undefined. It seems that Flash needs some time to boot up its external interface. So I've been using a polling hack to find out when the external interface is ready:[code]There's a visually perceptible delay in the execution of doStuff and it makes my overall code structure muddy.

I am trying to build a website with a preview window to display pieces of work when you click on a thumbnail. Each piece of work will be it's own swf, because there will be several images to show in each example, and I want to have a cool blur/fade in and out of each, and I want it to loop.
Anyway, I am trying to figure out how to load the swf into a "preview box", and have a preloader calculating the size and all that. So when you click a button, depending on the size of the external swf, the preloader will pop up and on completion, the swf will load. Not sure where to put the preloader code or where I should put the preloader in the first place.
I need to load external swf's into a gallery. But for some reason I can't picture how to set it up on the timeline. This is for college homework.
I have the entire gallery set up and working but I just don't have the preloader for the three external images. However, I do have a preloader working fine for the site itself.
Here's the code for the external swf's:
ActionScript Code:
loader.load(new URLRequest("1.swf"));
var movieName:String;

I am converting from .FLV's to .F4V. Video outputs fine but the audio sound stops after a few seconds from the beginning.I have tried many different settings for the audio with no luck. Also, tried on a colleague's machine who is running CS3, which works fine, so something is buggy in CS4...
View 1 RepliesI have an image gallery that I made with this tutorial (AS3 Photo Viewer Tutorial), and I'm trying to get an external preloader to load it. The only tweaks I've made to the tutorial file have been to change the stage size, and change the name and contents of the xml file.The preloader, which uses something I downloaded from preloaderz, worked with another, simpler swf, but when I try it with this one, I get
Quote:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at PhotoViewer()
I don't know why this won't work. Another thing I don't quite get is how the .as file is attached, because the PhotoViewer.fla file appears to be blank, with nothing I can see in the timeline/ stage, or in the actionscript. Before trying the external preloader, I tried adding one to PhotoViewer.fla, using script from the ActionScript 3 Classroom in a book, which worked in their lesson file, but not with this file. I also tried moving the script to the .as file, but that didn't work either.I'm using Flash CS4. If all else fails, I might have to try a simpler image gallery, that would hopefully work with a preloader, but I like how this one looks.
I have my site working using this style of loading in images. I want to add a preloader so it works better is this possible?

I have my preloader loading my main swf where I'm loading another swf that contains a background.
