i'm using the loadSound command to bring in an external mp3 and although the file itself is a perfect loop, flash doesn't seem to like playing it back as such using the s.start (0, 5) tag. any suggestions on how to get perfect loops?

1. a button is clicked (calling the playSound function)2. the sound is then played, also a small instance of the button is called from the AS library and placed within a sprite that is within a movie clip at the bottom. The event listener is also removed from the main button so it can only be called once.3. when the small instance of the button is pressed (within the sprite) it stops the sound, removes the icon and re enables the buttons event listener.It all works fine, and it is worth mentioning i am still new to Flash but getting to understand it more (after a little bit of light hearted abuse from a few members ). What i am struggling to understand is how to 'streamline' my code. I plan on having 20 buttons on the screen, and surely theres an easier way then having 20 functions, all more or less doing the same thing!
View 3 RepliesI'm new here and I'm wondering if I can use the Sound Loops for commercial uses?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to make a sound crossfading between the loops (an example would be: same as in a "Winamp" media player you toggle the Crossfading function in a Modern Skin and select a duration of it). Say I got a loop of 10 seconds, altho it is not perfect as its cut of the song without a proper editing tool. Any way I could accomplish it by using the ActionScript?
View 2 RepliesI've been trying to make a sound-loop player for quite some time now (i'm new to as3) and i'm pretty close to do it but still Ok, i've made six letters converted them into buttons and i want them to play a different wav sound loop each one whenever i click on them and to stop the sound when i click again.This works fine for the first button but not for the rest of them because i dont know where to insert the similar code for the rest of the buttons.
import flash.media.Sound;
var sound:Sound = new The_Rloop5();
var soundControl: SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();

I am trying to create a movie that has 3 different background sound loops for the user to choose from as well as an on/off button.I followed one of the Kirupa tutorials which enabled me to create 3 different buttons that linked to the 3 sound loops in my library. The problem is that I don't know the actionscript required to stop whatever clip is playing and play the newly selected background sound chosen by the user.Also I am trying to have one of the loops playing when the movie starts as a default, and also to have a mute button
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to figure out how I can fade out a sound object after it has looped twice. Right now the sound fades 5 seconds before the end of the first loop (since the fade code is based on the duration of the sound clip).Seems like there needs to be a way to count when the duration has been reached two times and then the fade code is executed. Note: the linkage identifier of the sound clip is "mainPageLoop".[code]...

View 2 RepliesAttached I have a small .fla that basically does the following:
1. A button is clicked (calling the playSound function)
2. The sound is then played, also a small instance of the button is called from the AS library and placed within a sprite that is within a movie clip at the bottom. The event listener is also removed from the main button so it can only be called once.
3. When the small instance of the button is pressed (within the sprite) it stops the sound, removes the icon and re enables the buttons event listener.

I'm working on a Flash movie that includes a simple on/off audio player. At the end of the movie it loops back to the beginning and plays again. if the viewer hits the sound off button it will turn the sound off untill the movie loops and then the audio automatically starts again. The viewer would then have to hit play again and then stop to stop it. Is it possible to fix this? I think that I ned to put a piece of code at the beginning of the movie to check if the sound is off or not and then to continue to keep it off if needed?Here is the code for the sound player I am using...
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var lastPosition:Number = 0;
mySound.load(new URLRequest("GlidingOnAir.mp3"));

I'm making an arcade game in as3 and I want to draw pixely(unsmoothed by flash) lines. I'm drawing the pixels 'by hand'(not with flash's lineTo or anything) onto a bitmapdata object. The lines don't appear quite right though, when zoomed out the line is rendered 2 pixels thick at some parts. However by zooming it its apparent that the algorithm is fine and its not doubling the pixels. Changing the quality doesn't seem to change anything.
[Code]...
So, been looking for a way to make the perfect 3d engine for flash. I need to know though, what am I working with? Pixels? Can I use something to access the video hardware? Already taking a few math classes on Monday to get a fresh start so I need to know the best way to go about this. Like...how does the video card draw?

View 3 RepliesWhat is the SIMPLEST way to make a pixel perfect hit test class?
View 41 Replieson the stage, ther's a box. you can move the box with the left and up key.i have 3 problems:
1. the movement isnt smooth, can i make the movement smooth without modyfing the speed?
2. i want that when you press the left and up key simulteanously the box will move diagonaly.
3.when you press and hold a key, the box just moves a little and after 1 second (or something like this) the box starts to move continously. can I make the box to move continously immediatly after you are pressing a key.
I've been searching around and can't quite seem to find the answer. I gather it's a problem with actionscript, but, i digress.
What's going on is if I move my mouse too fast it won't activate either the RollOver or RollOut, and it'll just stay. Is there a certain way I need to set everything so it will NO MATTER WHAT animate when rolledover, and then ALWAYS RollOut?
i want get scroll percentage form 0 to 250 point having a Line large 95px and dragger large 10px. I make this script but it dont perfect to get value. It's fast to update value.[URL]

dragger.startDrag(false, 0, -14, line._width-dragger._width, -14);
this.onEnterFrame = updateValue;

I picked up code for the "perfect fade" a while ago, which I have used for buttons in te past.
The code is as follows. On the root timeline:
[Code]...
Now this all works great, but its not too modular, meaning I have to write a fair amount of code for each button.I'm trying to make it leaner, by having a global function, but I can't get it to work properly... i think due to the enterframe. I've been unable to make it loop, and therefore it only steps forward oneframe, and back one frame.
this is my first flash test and I have been stuck for weeks to solve this issue. I am currently with Mediatemple, standard gs plan, and I have three files that I wish to upload:
index.html (html file)
ProgBar.swf (Preloader)
Main.swf (External Swf that is being loaded)
If you open the html file locally on a computer, it works fine, however the problem arises when these files are uploaded to the internet,. It doesn't seem to work at all... Please help me figure out why. Thank you for your consideration.
any techniques they use to draw a perfect half circle?
I've seen the curveTo() method, and I cannot seem to make it come out with anywhere nearly good enough results. It always looks like half of a skewed ellipse.
I don't *want* to use a mask -- since there will be other drawings on this same Sprite that I do not want masked.
To be even more picky -- I don't *want* to create the half circle in another Sprite and add that to my original drawing.
ok what i'm trying to do is make a transition so letters get typed up and then a tween will be applied and will be tweened down to about middle of screen. here is what i have so far:
ActionScript Code:
var q:Number = 1; // controls amount of letters currently visible
var typeInterval;[code]....
the problem is i have the typing but i've had alot of trouble with tweening side of things. i figured i might be able to create a new textfield for every letter assign the letter to it then tween it. but getting the positioning perfect would be a pian and i have no idea how to continure form this point on.
I'm using a blitting engine that uses bitmapData. No display objects.Is there a fast pixel perfect collision detection available for such a game system?I already tried CDK but that didn't work because it assumes you have display objects which my objects don't use. Sometimes my objects are pretty big and hitTest sucks in this case. I already tried circle-to-circle collisions but that didn't do the trick either.

View 3 RepliesI have a bunch of different Movieclips from about 10 different classes moving about the stage. What would be the fastest/most efficient way to detect collisions between two of them? They can overlap each other a bit before the collision is detected, so I thought the easiest way would be to draw a couple rectangles that take up a majority of the object for each class and use hitTestObject to see if any of the invisible rectangles of one instance are colliding with the invisible rectangles of another. Is this a good method? I figured that since a bit of overlapping is okay and actually preferred, that two or three rectangles can easily take up all the room I need for each object.
View 2 Repliesare there loops in flash like Do while loops, or for next loops?
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a project for a client, they want a simple drawing api which requests the user to draw a circle, or a shape on screen. The circle is then analyzed and a Score/Percentage of correction is returned. The drawing I have covered, how to assess the drawn circle against a perfect circle?
My first idea was to put invisible trigger points around the circumference of the shape and check for hit tests when the user is drawing. Another would be to track the dimensions of the left, right, top and bottom most bounding box and then find the radius, or something to that effect.
