View 3 RepliesSo I am a complete novice at actionscript as was evident in my attempts to figure this out on my own. I have the following code to control the "Songs" section of my website and I would like the following features:
1. Not have the music automatically start when the user enters the frame. (I thought this was due to line 3 code but it still played after I deleted that code)
2. Add a "Back" button to go back 1 song.I currently have it set up with the following code on my "Songs" Page:

I have a flash file with a volume controller. everything works the problem is that music wont start unless play is pressed and volume gets turned up. Obviously is something to do with the coding in the script. All I want is the music to start automatically and the volume to be up already once song is loaded. I tried playing with the script but no luck.

I am just a rookie in Flash, and came across a problem. I'm trying to create a flash movie that will display time like a TV ident does. I've successfully set it up to get the correct time and play a "tik-tok" sound as each second passes. However, it is to have some background music, and I can't get it to start when I need it - for instance, if the time is 18:00:00 it should start at 00 seconds, it time is 18:00:21 it should start at 21 seconds etc. This is the script I used for ticking:

What should I use for the complex situation as described above? My only guess is that I should sync it to the frames in the background video (behind the clock, running at 24 FPS), but I haven't got a clue how to set that up as well. Can someone please help? If necessary I can upload the .fla file.
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'm trying to load sound dynamically into a clip and then play it randomly. The AS I came up with works great if the sound is embedded and I use the .attachSound() method instead of loadSound(). Now, when I load it dynamically and use the code below, the sound plays very fast and at a higher pitch.
Code:
var crows = new Sound(this);
crows.loadSound("Raven.mp3", false);
crows.setVolume(100);

have your SWF that contains a FLV start in Fullscreen mode automatically? Either by a javascript function or AS3?
View 7 RepliesI have Flash Media Server installed on Windows Server 2007. I configured the Flash Media Server service to Automatic (Delayed Start), using a network logon instead of the local system account. In case you are curious, I use the network logon for the service because I need Flash Media Server to be able to access media stored on a network share. My problem is that, despite the Automatic start, the service does not seem to start automatically. Also, if I log out of that network account, the service seems to stop. what I can do to make sure that Flash Media Server will always start, as well as keep it running even if no accounts are logged in?
View 1 RepliesWe're trying to implement a load-balancing mechanism between FMS hosts in a virtual "farm". The mechanism we're using is to have the FMSs periodically send "load" data (along with a timestamp) to an application server. That server will then use that load information and timestamp to detect when an FMS server has gone down and to make stream assignments to FMSs. Right now, I've implemented this code via a setInterval() in live/main.asc.
I've added a "return false" to Application.onAppStop() to (according to the docs, I haven't tested this yet) keep the server from shutting down an idle instance. How do I get the interval running before the first request hits the application (and forces the load of the application)? I've tried putting the setInterval in onAppStart() and as a global. In both cases, it only gets executed after application is loaded. Any way to force an application to load (via a config file parameter or local command-line)?
I'm trying to accomplish two things:
1) Have an swf file automatically start buffering as soon as the webpage loads, without it also auto-playing the video.
2) Implimenting a 'youtube' style play button which will manually start the playback (regardless of how much of the video has been buffered).
P.S. I'm using CS4 if that matters. I have a pretty solid html/photoshop/video background, but flash is almost entirely new to me.
P.P.S. I'd like this to be compatible with older versions of the flash player as well, if at all possible.
I am putting together a small slideshow of pictures and it's only about 350 frames. I haven't worked with Flash since version 4.0, so I'm still trying to figure out Adobe's setup. 4.0's setup was so easy when it came to replaying a video once it hit the last keyframe, but I'm so lost in this ActionScript stuff.
How do I get the video to loop back and start playing again automatically?
I want to enable full screen mode automatically when I play the swf file using adobe flash player (not embing it in the web page, just by running the adobe flash player alone), without select the 'view full screen' option. Is it possible?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to play an MP3 using Actionscript 2. I have the following requirements: I don't want to wait for the MP3 to load before playing it. I want to know when enough of the MP3 has downloaded that I can start playing it. I don't want the MP3 to start playing immediately: I need to control when the play starts. An example scenario is that I need to start playing a 30-second MP3 exactly 8 seconds from now (at the top of the minute, let's say). Depending on the connection, I may or may not be able to download the entire MP3 by then, but I can almost certainly download enough to start playing without interruption.

Whenever I enter the actionscript loadMovie ....I could only place it in by cut and paste because everytime I use the ready actionscript loadMovie;it places the script as loadMovieNum and that does not work!
yet what do I have to do different to just have the sound load in automatically when the scene is open instead of having the viewer press play when they see the play button, but rather only see the stop button to choose to turn the sound off.
I'm trying to compile a SWC file with a lot of assets in it in an as easy possible way. "Easy" for a not so technical end user, not perse the way to acchieve that goal. Goal is to streamline a process to generate SWC files with as little possible tech for the person doing it.So, sort of like manually doing:
* Import files into Flash
* For each library item select "Export for actionscript" and have Flash generate the basic class.
* Publish as SWC
but without the Flash IDE and the possibly labourous process.Right now I'm trying to put an AIR project together that generates classes based on a file list. The classes can than be added to a Flash Builder library project to generate a SWC file from it (copy in finder, check classes in Project properties, done)I can generate the classes for graphics like below. Such a class can then be instantiated from within the host application [code] Allthough this adds another level to the display list (which looks kinda sloppy to me), it works.However, for this to work for sound files I need to create a class implementing all possible methods and properties of the soundclass and handle the events and such. There is no way to extend Sound and then do something like you would/can with graphics.[code]Does anyone know if there is a way to get to the format the Flash IDE generates the classes with?
I have 2 samples that play with a click on a button, however, I want one of them to stop playing if the other one is played; so that only one sound will ever play at any one time.

the MC soundLoader is there on the stage, and the file is linked correctly from the library, meaning that it works (the movie makes a single sound when the mouse hovers over it), except that the attached sound plays immediately when the swf loads. This is annoying on a page with about 16 of these!
I need to learn how feasible it is to automatically assemble Flash animations which take a background image, an animation (or a set of vector drawings that can be turned into an animation) and a sound file from a set of files. In other words, assume that I have the following set of files:
3 background images (let's assume JPG)
3 animations (no sound, no static background)
100 sound files (let's assume MP3)
So if I want to code something like:
for i 1 to 3
for k 1 to 3
take animation i
take background image k
for j 1 to 100
take sound_file j
resulting_swf = assemble (animation[i], background[i], sound_file[j])
save(resulting_swf)
Which will produce 900 Flash animations with different combinations of sound and background, what is the starting point? Are there some libraries (in Python, Perl, PHP, etc.) with good documentation and examples to develop something like that, some program that I can run from the command line?
I am creating an animation with very few controls for a presentation and it requires adding sound. I have my intro in the first frame with one sound and then want the user to click anywhere to start the animation and another sound.The problem I am having is sound control.No matter what I try the sounds overlap. I have managed to stop the first sound when going to the next frame - the animation, but the second sound now will not start. The first sound is called in from the library with the below code:
var snd = new Sound();
snd.attachSound("Tune");
and stopped when going on the next frame with:

I'm currently recording sound and storing the byte array for playback and subsequent encoding to mp3.
Unfortunately though I am getting a click sound at the very beginning of the recording.
I have attempted a couple of methods to try to eliminate this such as:
recording the first .3 seconds with mic.gain = 0; then setting mic.gain = 50; clearing the byteArray after the first .3 seconds then continuing to write the bytearray (in effect deleting the first .3 seconds of the recording.)
Neither of those methods has stopped the click being added.
how I can prevent the click from being added?
Here is my recording/storing code:
public var mic:Microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone();
public var micSilence:uint;
private var soundBytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
private var soundBA:ByteArray = new ByteArray();

I am trying to stop one specific mp3 file that plays throughout the whole document. But I don't want to use the off and on button. Instead when I press one of the pop-up buttons, I want a new sound to start in the pop-up window.
How do you stop the current sound that is playing and start the one on the pop-up? My main question is, is there a code that will stop current mp3, and start a different sound when the pop-up window is activated.
