So is there officially no way to load mp3s externally without the pause between loops? I need to know if I can rest at night or not. If it is absolutely without a doubt impossible, I will look at alternatives.
By the way, this would be for background game music. I need a seamless loop and we are using mp3s.
What I have is the initial forloop that gets the fabric sections. Then a forloop within this loop to get the subsections.the locations of where the thumbs in the subsection should go are stored in the destThumb variables and then fed through to an easing function.however, each subsection group is also aligned depending on the previous subsection._height.So the thumbs are going to their right relative positions,but the subsections are not.'m assuming this is because the ._heights are being calculated instantly as the thumbs are beginning to ease,therefore making subsection only the height of one row of thumbs. canI use a setInterval somewhere to have the forloop pause before it loops again? Allowing time for the thumbs to ease in place creating the final height? this is just the top snippet of code:
for (var i = 0; i<theFabrics.length; i++) {
var storeHeight = materialSection._height;
var storeYLoc = materialSection._y;[code]............
Does anyone have a good example of an application that does this. I am actually looking for away to load the mp3 onRelease, unless its better to load all the mp3s at the beginning. However I was thinking that would take too long.
View 8 RepliesI am externally loading an flv into an empty movie clip container using loadMovie into a main swf. The flv is in a standard flv playback component and works fine on its own. But what I'd like to be able to do is pause the flv when any of the buttons in the main swf are pressed.
View 7 Repliesif your using mx why not just take advantage of the ability to load external mp3s. if not you would have to have something like php to send the track name and info to the music player to tell it what to open.
View 5 RepliesI'm pretty new/bad at actionscript (3) for web. I have a site up for a client/friend [URL], but it takes FOREVER to load. I'm under the impression that a good way to make the site load faster is to load in swf's externally. Right now, the site, in its entirety, is one big movieclip. I have large images (movieclips) for background images. If you look at the site and are kind enough to wait for it to load (aprox. 45 seconds or so) you will notice how the background image changes when you click to go to each section.
I am trying to find a way to load in the background as external .swf's to cut down on the initial load time. I'm also open to any other ideas. Below is the as3 code for my buttons/how they direct the site. I'm hoping to use a similar/generic style to load the background images. I'm hoping to load the movieclips underneath the rest of the site, and use the same naming scheme (e.g. homeBTN.swf) to keep it organized.

I have come up with a different scenario when am working with videos. I am trying to load a flv externally. And when am compiling the flash file i got this strange error and nothing is loading (ie flv file) Warning: Filter will not render.

View 1 RepliesPossible to embed a .swf on other site, then load an external file(.swf, .jpg, etc...) from my own server. hence, i could change the content without doing anything to the embedded .swf

I have this code to load a jpg and textfiles externally:
[AS]stop();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("NFMC", 1);
NFMC._x = 320;
NFMC._y = 220;
[Code].....
Of course I have been thinking about passing data to functions, but I can't make it work.
It is not necessary that NF1.jpg and the txts are mentioned in this code like they are now, it also could be something like a,b,c and d. So actually it is not about changing, but about being able to load different jpg's and MC's in this swf, so that I wouldnt have to use one hundred swf's!
I'm trying to externally load a swf at a certain time on the timeline. Right now I am loading it by using an on(release) with buttons, but I need the first to load as the timeline reaches the certain number. I'm using this code for the buttons.
on (release) {
_root.empty.loadMovie("externalloader1.swf");
}
I'm not sure if I should use a Load action or what?
is it possible to create new frames through AS? I'm trying to create a new movieclip and then create 4 frames and then on each frame externally load an image.

View 5 RepliesTrying to load images dynamically from library NOT externally since i want these images to be loaded when the site is launched. Basically i have several buttons, each button returns an event that throws a specific image name to grab. Here is the function;
function sendDisplayData(e:MouseEvent){
display_mc.displayName.text = e.currentTarget.parent.menuItemName.text; //name of image eg. "myImageName" in the library;
//create the image object
[code]....
So how can i make this function dynamic by using a String and then grabbing the image related to that string from the library.
I'm not new to flash as2 but as3 is a whole other animal to me. What I have is on button click my script will load a swf movie into a movie clip (videoLoader_mc).

I've gone through ever tutorial I can find to no avail. [code]...

I'm a PHP guy and know very little about Flash... I've got a few videos that I've run through Adobe Media Encoder, uploaded to my server, and imported into Flash to add a preset playback control skin. They're working well enough, but I would like them to start in the paused state when the page loads rather than just playing right away.

I like what the script below does but I need it to be extended in 2 ways and I can not figure how.this is what I would like this code to do...
1. play (ideally stream) sound automatically on entering the site.(right now the play button must be invoked, and it takes a little time to load.)
2. loop that same sound source
3. instead of stopping the sound I would prefer a pause.so more simply sound plays on entering site and I have ONE button (well 2 but changing visibilities) that control only pause and resume I have looked around quite a bit but can never find what I am looking for it would appear that everyones sound issues are so unique that no one has the exact issue that I do (well I am sure many do but I can't find the thread. ) and here is a link to what I have as of now
Code:
var loadSnd:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ax Mr .l..mp3");
var thisSnd:Sound = new Sound();
thisSnd.load(loadSnd);
