I think this might be a tough one: Is it possible to stretch the playback of an MP3 file using Actionscript? Time stretch is when you slow a sound down but don't change its pitch. Basically, it works by chopping up the sound into milliseconds and splicing duplicates of the bits in, thereby stretching the sound.
View 1 RepliesI'm loading an image into an empty movie clip on the stage.
is there a way that if the user rolls over this image it will then increase in size (say from 50x50 to 75x75)?
how do i dynamically add sounds from the library? i have tryed
Code:
_root.attachMovie("sown", "sown",999)
//and
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
my_sound.loadSound("sown", false); //externaly the file is also named "sown" (no extension)
It's got 5 tabs, and will give the user the options to play about 10 sounds per tab.I have initially been loading the sounds on runtime, so whenever the user clicked a button to play that sound, I would do something like:
var sound:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("assets/hello.mp3"));
sound.play();
I'm not sure, but I don't think this is very good, since I would be loading that sound over and over again if the user pressed the button too many times.
I then thought about embedding the sound in each of the views (I have one view per tab), so would embed the sounds whenever the view was loaded. I think this is a better options, but still am a bit unsure about how the embed works exactly.
[Embed('assets/hello.mp3')] private var hello_mp3:Class;
I suppose it simply embeds the mp3 files when the swf is compiled (making it bigger), but they would not be loaded anymore once the app starts, or once that view is initialized again.

View 8 RepliesI followed the mp3player tutorial (part 3) from [URL] and got it working fine. Only problem is that the setVolume I'm trying to use with my music is affecting all my other sounds - button sounds and background sound. I'm aware of the createEmptyMovieClip/attachSound approach and got it working on my other sounds. But Lee's tutorial-mp3player is using a slight different technique, and so my normal approach doesn't quite work.

I want to synchronize sounds perfectly to do a kind of Audio Mixer, using different sounds. [URL] does it perfectly, I've been researching and researching and I just don't know how to do it! How does [URL] synchonize audio so perfectly? you can even change sounds and the new ones will come on time! How do I do that? Is it just Action Script? or something else?
View 1 RepliesThe plan is to have that video stretch across the whole page (the flash does, the video itself does not).Firstly: well aware of the issues - bad performance, horribly stretched/pixelated video. I know this. However a client wants it so we have to do it, simple as that.Does anyone have any ideas on how this can be achieved? I've been in touch with the creators of the flash video player I'm currently using and they've confirmed it isn't possible with that flash video player.
View 1 RepliesI have a film with 4 scenes in it: Here's a link to the film and as you can see the film does not play the music the second time because of the StopAllSounds function which is probably the wrong code to use. The first scene is just a button with 1 frame, a stop action and a music clip. The second scene is the film. The third scene is the credits fourth scene is a Play again button. I have a Stop all Sounds action on the fourth scene because if I do not use it and I press the Play Again button, the music from the first song keeps playing but also the music from the film starts up again so it starts to play twice. What I want to know is, how do I get the music to stop at the end of the film but start up again once I hit Play Again?
I am using Flash CS3 if that helps and using Actionscript2.
This is a feature I have wanted ever since I first used Flash 4, and I could have sworn that when I read about CS4's new feature, "stretching" the timeline was one! If it's in there, I can't for the life of me figure out how. it's possible to "stretch" a selection of keyframes or not?
Specifically what I mean is this: Say I have an animation with many keyframe tweens in it, and it last 100 frames. Then I decide I need to slow it down and last 200 frames, rather than reposition every keyframe, I would like to select the whole thing and then "scale" left or right and stretch everything to fit 200 frames.
I've created a slideshow with images fading in and out. After competing it, I've decided that I want each the whole thing to run a little longer. Short of changing the FPS, is there a way to stretch the timeline?
View 1 RepliesThe problem I am having is that I cannot get my swf file to scale to fit all windows.It fits the stand aspect ratios but widescreens get the black bars on the left and right of the screen (black is set for my stage color).

View 1 RepliesIs there a way to do a global timeline stretch in CS4 ?
Basically I need to change the animation speed from 12 fps to 25 fps - but I dont wont the movie to play twice as fast, and I don't want to have to manually move each key frame to fix it because it will take forever!
Had a problem stretching the flash file to fill the screen in a projector movie. It is not made in proportion with the standard screen sizes. Is there a quicky way of doing this, without having to go into each element and resizing it. Its a huge file with a lot of cross referencing happening, and _root is used liberally everywhere.(We have made a screensaver of the same file using screensaver factory 3, and it does the stretch easily)
View 1 Repliesis their a scale function or class so that when i strech a movieclip (while editing in flash and while running the swf) that the clips specific contents do not stretch to the clip legnth but they "stick" to the clip edge? like:
Code:
Xmovieclip._x = _parent._width - Xmovieclip._width;
but Xmovieclip doesnt scale when its parent is scaled.
I put together this little photo gallery tonight, and overall, I'm content with how it works, but there's one thing that bothers me - unless you have a super big monitor, the scroll bar is always at the side of the screen.
Is there a way to keep the stage relatively small (550px or so) until a vertical picture comes up, and then stretch the swf to say 800px? I've used full screen Flash before, but when I do that, instead of forcing the scroll bar to appear, it just cuts off the image.
Note: Yes, this problem could be solved simply by not doing it in Flash, but eventually I plan to append this to a portfolio of sorts (which will be in Flash) and don't want to make it an external link.

So I created an animation with a guy swing his left arm back and forth. The problem is his arm is swinging too fast. Is there any way I can extend the whole action, rather than deleting all the keyframes and redoing it?
View 1 Repliesurl...Now click at "add image" and load any image.. The image will be shown on the shirt and the blue border shown around the image comes by-default or is it a movieclip? Secondly the image itself is a movieclip or external swf? And i know that movieclip has rotate and scaleX,Y properties that can work here but it seems that these properties are not used?? the script is rotating and stretching it due to container default properties.

I am still making some language flashcards. there are about 20 on the page. when i click the card it is supposed to 'flip' so you can see the translation. the first card does pretty well but then as I continue to the next cards, the tween becomes worse and worse. for some reason as the card flips, its dimensions get thrown off and it becomes really wide or really tall. I want the flip to be a strictly horizontal flip over the y axis. What am I doing wrong?

I want to have a background movieclip of my SWF stretch to fill the browser window. I know there is a way to detect the size of the browser window in ActionScript, but I am unsure how to tell a movieclip to use those dimensions. I don't need to worry about changing the proportion of the movie clip as it is just a solid color
