The SWF is defaultly about 1 meg. The music file is about 3 megs as well (total 4 megs).Once the SWF has finished loading, I would like the music file to play, and then loop indefinitely.I don't want to embed the music,because that will bloat the load time so much.Streaming seems like the obvious answer, but I am having trouble then with the music starting immediately after the load has finished. Additionally when you are streaming music you can't specify how many times to loop the sound?
View 0 Repliesi just want to have my music looping forever regardless of the timeline stopping and starting. is this possible?
View 1 RepliesI want a site to have background music, but when I attach the music to the file it makes it quite large ...3 meg and the site is slow to load. Is there any way of having the music separate from the flash file and still have start stop music buttons?
View 2 RepliesI downloaded a flash template and have modified it to suit our company but there is something that I can't do. When the file loads in the browser, music immediately plays and loops until you click a button to stop the music. On our video page, we have video
that we need to play that has sound in it. How do I get the background music to stop when my video plays without having to go up and stop the music manually. The videos are loaded via an external XML document and there are no buttons in the FLA file to link code to. the website is [URL]
I have a sound Object on the _root timeline that plays when the page loads, that works great. I want to preload it so that the user can see the % of it loaded. Here is my code:
[AS]_root.backgroundMusic.bytes_loaded = Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded());
_root.backgroundMusic.bytes_total = Math.round(_root.backgroundMusic.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
loadedBox = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"%";[/AS]
The Object is names backgroundMusic it is a sound Object (duh). When I enter that code I get a "NaN%" in the dynamic text box named loadedBox
Using Macromedia Flash Professional 8.
I have a website banner made in Flash. I have added a music file to it and Play and Stop buttons. I also have a Replay button to replay the banner animation once it stops.
I have put the music on a separate frame so that it will not play automatically when the banner loads. I have made the Play button direct to the frame the music is located at so that when clicked, it will go to that frame and play the music file.
The problem I am currently having is that if I click the Play button more than once, it will play the music file again on top of the current play-through.
So if I click Play, the music will play. Then if I click it again, the music will play again, but on top of the first instance of the music, so two instances of it will now be playing and it sounds horrible.
I would like to make it so that if you click Play when the music is playing, it will not play the music again until the music has stopped.
I have a rotaing menu that loads in images from an xml file, I would also like it to load in text info from the same xml file to the left side of the images that load in. In my main .fla have created a movieclip and called it 'textInfo' and inside that I have two dynamic text fields called 'headerText' and 'bodyText' where I want to load the text in. this is what I am using to loading in the text in my actionscript, is this correct?

View 3 RepliesI'm using Flash 8 and I'm trying to load new text into a dynamic text box already populated by a xml file.
I have a home page with 5 different buttons on the top menu.
1. Home
2. News
3. Tips
and a few more.
Upon my home page loading, I have a dynamic text box with the welcome text which is populated by my xml file, here is my code for AS2:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.home = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0];
_root.tips = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[0];
[Code].....
What I want to do is load the news and tips text into the same dynamic text box on the home page when the news or tips button is clicked, so I don't have to load a whole new swf for each category thus making the site faster.
What code would I have to use to clear the text from the xml file and how would I load my new text upon clicking the button?
I cant load and external text file into my dynamic text box...when i trace the loaded var it can be found, but when it's loaded inside the text box, the value that appears is really strange.i tried to load the vars into the MC and on a level, the result is the same, it can be traced but does not appear correctly on the textbox..the code i used is here..i made a text box with about_us instance name, loaded the variables and tried to load my text inside it by setting the text property of the textbox but as u will see...
loadVariables("about.txt", "this");
about_us.text = about;

am setting up a webpage with Flash MX. On the homepage I have a dynamic text box with links to the left (currently the links are just typed words). We want it to setup so that when a user clicks a link (such as "HOME") it will access text from a .txt file and load it into the dynamic text box. We want all of the links ("HOME", "PERSONNEL", "RECRUITS", "CONTACT US") to load their text from a seperate .txt file into that same dynamic text box.

I have an ASP.Net handler which returns to me all the file name of the images present in a folder in the server. Note that I'm an ASP programmer, not a Flash developper. It'll return something like that:
1.jpg|2.jpg|3.jpg|4.jpg
It's the same as if it was written in a .txt file, there's only text in the "webpage" source. The | is the separator in which I'll use a method to return a [] of string. However, the problem is how do I access it.

I have a program that loads external SWFs, I usually create an SWF within adobe after effects and load that (That works properly). I created an SWF that combines 2 SWFs from after effects with a screen blend mode using adobe flash. It works fine when playing the SWF in flash player but if I try loading it, it does not show up.[code]...
View 3 RepliesI want to make a Flash app that will scroll text whilst music plays. The music part is easy, but scrolling the text...I've tried simply importing ALL of the text, resizing, and scrolling that one giant object upwards, but when the screen was full of text it began to slow down. I need the speed uniform to sync it with the music in the background.
I could have a 70,000,000,000 frame movie and move each element individually, avoiding the heavy load, but the amount of work on my end this would require would be so astronomical that it just wouldn't be worth it. Ideally I want something like a component that I can dump text into and have it deal with making the scroll speed uniform.
It would also be a major plus point if it could be used/created by another program, so that someone without Adobe Flash could produce a similiar kind of movie simply by putting in their text and MP3 file and hitting a "Generate" button.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to load a text file and I've run into a wall. So far, I've loaded swf files, image files and XML files without problems. But the text files just don't seem to load. It's not a tough situation. The files are in the same directory as the application. When I run it, I see no sign that the file has loaded, but haven't found the error trapping to tell me what is (not) going on.
The code below was culled from examples on the web, they seem fairly consistent, and they are copied pretty much exactly. and I put them both into a single action to test them. Any clues as to what is not happening? I need to read an old txt data file that was used with AS2, with pairs of names and variables. The first example just reads a couple of variables. The second just reads some random text. I'm just trying to see what
works here, so I can incorporate working code into the real program.
