ActionScript 3.0 :: External Swf Sounds Will Not Stop When Unloaded
Jun 23, 2009
Main swf loads an external swf which has a linear voice-over. User can watch/listen the whole 5 minute piece and then main movie carries on OR User can click to go on without viewing/listening to the whole show. Using removeChild, I can kill the visuals, but the voice track still goes on. i added a SoundMixer.stopAll line, and it does kill the current VO clip, but the next one will play in a few seconds. In the external swf, i'm using timers to delay slide advancement while the voice over plays. Seems like I came across some info that says I cannot fully unload like this with timers in my external swf.
Does this sound like a plausible source of the problem? If so, what is the best way to kill/nullify the timers in the external swf?

I did a search here and I am not sure my question was answered exactly, and even if it was, I wouldn't know it. My problem is going above and beyond what the project calls for. So here we go:I have an external swf that I have loading in when you press a "play" button. Now I need to have a button that stops the sound ONLY on the externally loading swf. I assume from what I have Googled to death that this is called "stopping all sounds". I have also come upon a sound mixer dealy-o, but I'm not sure that is what I am trying to do?????I keep reading about SoundMixer.stopAll (); but this looks to mute the sound all together with no use of a button. So I am ASSUMING that there is more code to add to this when it comes to using a button.
So, I would like to know the EXACT code I need to use to get it working...if at all possible. I named my sound button "btn3_btn" and my mute button "btn4_btn" for now. I want a separate button to turn the sound back on once it has been muted.

I have a large project built in as3. Part of its main functionality is to load and unload various as2 swfs. The problem is that the memory ins't free up once they are unloaded.
I have access to the as2 swfs code base and destroyed all objects, stopped and killed timers, listeners, removed from stage, destroyed all the MovieClip.protoypes that were created. They look to be clean as far as the AS2 debugger show no remnants of the object after the destroy function is run. In AS3 i've closed the local connection, cleaned all references/listeners to the AVM1Movie and ran Loader.unloadAndStop(). The trace out in flex says the swf was unloaded but looking at windows task manager the memory usage never drops to when it was before the as2 swf was loaded. Each as2 swf can take up to 80 megs each time it's run so memory gets eaten up fast and loading and unloading a few as2 files.
At this point if the AS2 swfs are unloaded the only thing that I can assume that could be left is MovieClip.prototype and/or _global, _root variables add during the AS2's run time. But i've gone through those and can't find anything else that might be sticking. Has anyone ever seen problems before with the AVM1 machine not freeing up its memory?

I am loading swf's that have an flv embedded on the timeline. When the user selects from the menu I unload the swf and load another. This is working fine, but the audio from the first swf's video keeps playing. How can I kill this first videos audio track?

I 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.

I have a flash application, some kind of a play-list that loads external SWF video player (I don't have code access to that external file), so users can watch the video or skip to another one. When user switches to another video new SWF file is being loaded.
The problem: If user didn't finish watching the video and skips to the next then I unload previous SWF file (unloadAndStop()) and load a new one. And because the previous SWF was playing it is not actually unloaded, it is still playing on the background (I hear two audio tracks: current and previous).

On a recent project I am working on, I created an event-based sound engine. Different components within Flex will be registered, and then the controller will listen to events and handle the information correctly. So, it just takes a custom SoundEvent or ChannelEvent to alter one of the channels, or play a sound.
I can not quite figure out what is wrong with my code, and I am finding myself snow-blind to the issue at hand. At first, I was going to rewrite it but I figured it would be better to learn from my mistake. Also, I realize that this is not correct for streaming sounds, but I am working off a local sound library until I get it up and running smoothly.
Here is the code for the SoundEvent:
package code.events
{
import flash.events.Event;
public class SoundEvent extends Event

im using stopAllSounds();command to mute all sounds, and it works fine with sounds that are already loaded (background music), but if there is button which triggers some new sound (after activating mute button ) or any other function to import new sound object you still can hear it despite stopAllSounds();.which command to use to permanently block all sounds already loaded and those which can be triggered by future actions.Now i have stupid situation> background music is muted but you can still hear sounds when cliclking buttons (which is ok but NOT in muted stage).

I posted a question earlier about stopping all sounds in a swf. Now, to do that I'm using the following code.
var transform1:SoundTransform=new SoundTransform();
transform1.volume=0;
flash.media.SoundMixer.soundTransform=transform1;
Which solves the problem (mutes all sounds) but now there is an issue, I want to stop all sounds but one.

I have sound that loads with the web page. Because I want to give the user the ability to mute the sound, I have a flash button to do so which works nicely.
However, if the user moves to a different page in the website, they must again mute the sound.
Is there a way to set a global variable for muting the sound that will work across the entire website?

I have a main swf which has sound on/off buttons. It has many SWF's which are loaded into different placeholders at different time. All of them have different sounds in them. In addition to that there is a music loop going on in the background.Now, this perticular swf lets call it Father will be placed in some swf later on. What I'm trying to do right now is when the sound off button is pressed turn off all the sounds permanently so the child swf's and their sounds stop too.I have found a way in AS2 :
global = new Sound( ) //no movie clip target path.
and add the following code to your off button.
on(release){
global.setVolume(0); //mutes all sound
}[code]....
which ofcourse does not work for AS3. So how can I stop all sounds permanently in AS3? Secondly what if I have one sound (my background loop) which I want to keep going on.

I have a question for stopping all sounds in flash project. And i mean all, buttons, effects, etc..The thing is, I have manually placed various sounds on different frames, on different MCs and buttons inside my flash.Is there any function that will just mute my sounds, or I have to create object for each sound?

I have created a simple soundboard, with multiple buttons that play sounds upon release. These sounds are embedded within the 'hit' frames of the buttons. Only one can be played at once, so this has been applied to each button:
on (press){stopAllSounds ();}
This all works as planned so far. However, I would like to have a background music feature that would be exempt from the "stopAllSounds" command and thus able to keep playing regardless of what buttons were pressed (or until a designated stop button was pressed).

I am working on a website that has 11 sounds in one frame. All of the sounds are external, meaning I have to call each one of them every time I want them to play, which happens when I click on specific MCs in my stage. Each MC I click all sounds stop and the new one starts playing. So far, so good.
But therein lies the problem: I want this to happen but keep background music playing. I have no idea where to start from.

I have a website that has two flash items on it. I have a swf that calls mp3s that plays on the page load, and I have a FLV that plays on page load. What I would like to happen is: on page load the FLV plays when the FLV Finishes the swf starts to play the mp3s. What already happens is that the pages load in _blank pages so they are in new windows. This is good because while you navigate the site, the music from the homepage is still cycling through the swf's mp3 playlist. The problem comes in when you navigate back to the homepage from a new window, and the homepage is still open within the first window. That means that the video plays over, while the music is playing, and the music doubles up. Now the video playing isn't bad, it's that music is doubling up. Can't it sense itself playing a 2nd instance of itself on another webpage and stop it?

I have 100 swf embedded in a page. The swf are various forms of individual audio playbacks.- an swf button that loads an swf into it that has audio on a timeline streamed. AS3
- swf that has streamed audio using scripting so there is no preloading. AS2Since I have 100 and the user could press all 50 at a time and have this giant noise of sounds and bog down their bandwidth. Is there anyway of:- stopping all playing of swfs that has streamed audio using timeline. I guess that could be like a ALL stop frame command??- stop all sounds coming from the streamed audio swf

so I'm unclear about how to set up variables. I prefer to play sounds from my library using linkage,pass an array of sounds into the SoundChannel, so that I can stop them all at once?t's for a 'toggle voiceover' button, so perhaps better to use Sound transform to mute the Sound Array.This is what I have so far. (Page1 etc is my linkage sound name)
Code:
var GlobalVoice:Array = ["Page1", "Page2", "Page3"];
var Globalchannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
