ActionScript 3.0 :: Controlling Sounds With Buttons?
Mar 22, 2011
I'm making a section in my production with 4 audio files which are controlled with a play and stop button. I've managed to make the first one work on the page with this code -
Code:
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
var mySoundReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("audio/track1.mp3");
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
[Code].....
What would I need to copy to control 3 other files the same way? (i.e "audio/track2.mp3" with play_btn2/stop_btn2). I've tried copying part of the code and changing the instant names but I keep getting errors so I'd rather ask somebody who knows what they're doing.

.. but I'd like to be able to control all audio with this slidebar. I have various streaming sounds through a movie, along with background music and one specific voiceover that is loaded via:
m = "track";
createEmptyMovieClip( m, 1 );
s = new Sound( eval(m) );

I have some strange problem while using more than one sound that I want control.
Code:
var myMusic:Sound = new Sound();
myMusic.attachSound("music1");
myMusic.start(0, 999);
myMusic.setVolume(50);
[code]....
When I try to reduce sound volume of 1 sound, volume of all sounds is beeing reduced?!The same situation is when I use tween comands like: this.myMusic.volumeTo(5, 1, "linear");

I need a little advice. I've got a set of swfs that are all part of one training, and within these movies are a few sound effects attached to button instances. I want the user to be able to click a button to turn the sound on or off at any time during the training.
My first idea was to create a variable called wantSound, which each sound instance checks before deciding to play. This is working perfectly. There's a toggle switch on the main timeline that sets sound to on or off, and when a sound is supposed to play, it checks to see if wantSound=true, and plays, or if it is false, it does not.
This works fine on each individual .swf, but when a new .swf loads in, the sound defaults back to true, and the user has to turn it off again. I imagine this could be fixed by loading each movie into different levels instead of loading them into level0 or root, but as this is not how I originally created the file, that will take a lot of work to handle aligning the loaded movies and parking them (making sure none of the buttons are active on the level below). I'm lazy, what can I say? :-)
I've been looking around at similar questions, and found a decent tutorial on Macromedia's site about using javascript to pass a variable from flash to HTML. I went through that, and managed to get Flash to send my wantSound variable to HTML with no problem. Check here for the tutorial.
The only problem is that in macromedia's example for sending data from HTML back to Flash, they use a text field for getting the variable. I just want to take the variable sent from Flash to HTML and send it back to Flash when requested (at the beginning of the next SWF.)

I have a few movie clips running swf's and I need a play/stop button in one clip to control the audio in another clip. The buttons are in the _root clip and the audio is contained in an swf I load into an empty 'content' movie. I have labelled the frame containing the audio but can't seem to use the object hierarchy to access it. On a somewhat similar note, is there a way to have the root movie display the bytes loaded/bytes total of a swf loading over top of the root movie, i.e. in a content empty movieclip?

When I updated my Flash website I added new sounds to all buttons on the site. I also animated the main section buttons with a movie clip in the "over" frame. I added sound to the "down" frame of the animated buttons in the same manner that I added sound to the no n-animated buttons. When I click on one of the non-animated buttons and release, the complete sound plays.When I click on one of the animated buttons and release, the sound stops the instant I release the button. If I click on one of the animated buttons and do not release but continue to press the mouse button, the entire sound will play. How can I make the animated buttons behave like the non-animated buttons and play the entire sound even though the button is released?

I have five audio clips that need to be played when their corresponding button is clicked, but need to be stopped when the same button is clicked or when another one is clicked and when the user clicks out of the movie clip to get back to the main interface.
So far I've been trying to tinker with this:
var sound1:Sound = new Yield();
var mySoundChannel:SoundChannel;
numberThree.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickThis);

I currently have a game that allows the player to Start, Stop and Pause sound clips.
Currently the Start button only becomes active after the Stop button has been pressed.
I would also like is the play buttons to become active as soon as the sounds complete playing. This is the code on frame 1 of the main timeline that creates two sound objects

I'm trying to make buttons for my website that have sounds playing on them during the over states. But when you move the mouse off the button, the sound keeps playing. Run that mouse everywhere, the sounds are all playing, it's chaos. How do I fix a button so that the sound stops playing when the mouse moves off?

I am trying to control my main Scene 1 via a navigation bar within a movie clip.
I am using the following code for each button:
btn_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btnClickHa ndler);
function btnClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay("frametwo","Scene 1");
}
If I just put that code in for one button, that one button will work, but once I add another line of code for my next button, the only one that works is the first one, then the rest of them don't do anything.

i have forward/back buttons to control the timeline. what happens in the following code is that if the button is clicked while in the < or > range of frames, it gets buggy. heres the code.
[Code].....
this doesnt seem to go to the exact frame i need if i click while the current sample is still animating in. It would be much better if i could tell flash to a specific frame instead of asking flash to determine a range. that way, if a button is pressed during an animation it wont just advance one frame, it would jump to a specific frame.
I wish i could just do this:
[Code].....
i thought about creating a var that would be a string. i could then add a number to the name of that string each time the button is clicked. then i could make frame labels the name of the string. but i couldnt get my head around it. also, i didnt know how to make the button stop adding to the string name once it reach a certain value (6 in this case). or how to make it play the last sample animation if the user kept clicking the advance button at the end of the samples.

I have created a presentation which is mostly graphics and voiceover. I have created a few custom buttons to allow the user to pause, start over, etc. (not video). In a few places I am calling to external flv files which have been placed inside movieclips. I want to be use my custom pause button to pause the flv as well, as opposed to using a flv player/controller. I have made several attempts such as:
_on (release) {
_root.myvideo_mc.pause();
}
[Code]....
and trying stop/play instead of pause, etc...all to no avail. the appropriate scripting to control an flv with a custom button?

I'm trying to build a simple slideshow with AS3 consisting of one movie clip which should be controlled backwards and forwards using simple buttons. I can get the slideshow to play forward once but, apart from getting slide 2 to go back to slide 1, I can't get it to work with the remaining slides.

I have a 4 frame file that is a dvd menu. Buttons controlling navigation between all frames. There is a main page, and 3 child pages that link back to main. I have an mp3 file that I need to add as background music. I have created a new layer and added the following to the action of frame 1.
soundInstance = new Sound();soundInstance.attachSound("Music name from library"); My problem is that every time I navigate back to main from one of the child pages a new instance of the song begins so I end up with a round of music. I need the initial instance to persist throughout and not loop til the end of the song.

Can we control the external loaded swf with buttons created on another swf. Let me simplify this: I have one swf in which I have created one small timeline animation and the second swf has the buttons to play and stop the animation.
Now I load this 2 swf in my main file and want to control the animation through that buttons.

I'm updating my website and found out that I originally created it using AS1. I now need to update to AS3 and am having difficult time learning AS3 or even catching on to the basics. On two of my pages, I created a static text box, which I turned into a movie clip to have controlled by buttons. I got my down button to work, but I'm still having a problem with my up button. I can get it to work if I use the same code as my "down", but then my movie clip text continue scrolling down, instead of up. Here is my current set up:
Movie clip controller that is 3 frames:
Frame 1: stop action
Frame 2: blank
Frame 3: gotoAndPlay(2);

I have 12 different buttons that are keyboard keys that play a sound when you click on them.I am wondering if, in addition to that, one could hit, for instance, the ` key for this first one, the 1 key for the second one, the 2 key for the third one, etc..etc

I have a text movieclip (service_mc) on the stage for which I need to control 4 different _xpositions (_x = 0, _x = -700, _x = -1400, x = -2100) with 4 button mc's (btn_one, btn_two, btn_three, btn_four).
For these four buttons I already declared the Over, Out, Release and Restore stage in a function:
Code]...
What I like to accomplish is to control the _x positions of "service_mc" with the same buttons. I mean when btn_one is pressed service_mc should go to _x = 0, when btn_two is pressed the _x position from service_mc should change to _x = -700 etc, etc
How to integrate this possibility in the existing function?

I'm trying to create a movie clip that can be controlled to move a shape left or right (as animated in the movie clip) via buttons on the main stage.
I was thinking I could just add prevFrame or nextFrame to the controlling buttons when the mouse rolls over them... like this:
Code:
on (rollOver) {
this.shape.prevFrame();
}
But now I need a method of repeating it non-stop while you are on the button. Can I loop the prevFrame infinatly or loop that line of code?
P.S I'm just getting to grips with actionscript and I'm hitting a few hurdles on the way, so please excuse my ignorance.

I am somewhat new to flash and am having some trouble trying to control two different movie clips with two different buttons. Currently when either one of the buttons is pressed both movie clips start to play. How can I set file up so that if button 1 is pressed movie clip 1 will play and if button 2 is pressed movie clip 2 will play

I have a straight forward flash document where the play head plays from start to finish. The client wants a way to stop and start the animation if time is needed to discuss what is happening on screen. Simple buttons can easily do this if those buttons are not nested.
Code:
stopBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onStopClick, false, 0, true);
playBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onPlayClick, false, 0, true);
stopBtn.buttonMode = true;
[Code]....
However, if I make a mouse over pop up movie clip button and place those button inside it, they do not work. I can not find the piece of code that will link these nested buttons back to the main time line.

I have a movie (back.swf) and this calls into another (menu.swf, level20). I want to control the movie clips to the level0 with the buttons on level20. I do that but I can't control in a random order.
For example:
I press button 1 and play movie clip 1.
I press button 2 and play movie clip 2.
But if I press again button 1 don't play it.
And if I press the button 3 play the movie 3 but don't allow to return to the button 1 and 2.
Every movie clips are in level0.

I have just recently purchased Adobe Flash CS5 and have read through the entire "Classroom In A Book" for Adobe Flash CS4 Professional. However, the book never went into much detail into what I am trying to do. I'm creating a website for me and my fiance because we have formed a classical guitar and flute duo and want to exhibit some of our recordings. I have the buttons for the recordings created with their corresponding sound file. However, I cannot figure out how to stop the file when I click on another button recording; if I click all buttons, all sound files just keep playing simultaneously.

This is my first time coding a website using ActionScript. So far everything has went very well, I designed the website in Photoshop, and imported to Flash CS5. Then I cleaned everything up, and started adding navigation to the various pages using buttons.The website is constructed in a very simple manner, there are five main pages and they are connected by buttons on a static navigation bar (the first page, home, doesn't have a corresponding button). Then there are nine sub pages, that each contain information on a character of the game, and are connected to corresponding buttons in the 'Character' layer/MovieClip. My four menu buttons (Story, The World, Characters, Extras) all navigate correctly without problems.
The problem arises because inside my Characters page (a movie clip) are nine buttons, each linking to a different page. These buttons should bring the timeline to the frame specified, but when the buttons are clicked nothing happens. I've spent hours searching for a solution to this, but with no avail, and I have a feeling the answer is prettysimple.gotoAndStop("gowang", "Scene 1");line in the Gowang character button function with:MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop("gowang");
