ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Sounds Before Playing?
Jan 16, 2009
There are 8 letters in the menu. Each letter provides a linkwhen clicked and a sound when rolled over. The letters will NOTAPPEAR on stage until their corresponding sound is completedloaded. I did this to avoid distortion during playback. The soundbit are pretty small as well. Anyway, the sounds are still distorted during playback and Idon't know why. They are all MP3. HELP PLEASE!! Here's the scriptfor one of the eight letters (movieclips) only to limit size you'llhave to look through:
public function Index() {
var D:MovieClip = new dMC();
D.x = 100;
I am creating a game that has 6 movieclips all on the main time line of the game. Each movie clip has three buttons that when clicked plays, pauses or stops a sound clip.When I press any of the sound clip play buttons that sound starts playing, the problem is when I click any of the other sound clip play buttons those sounds also start to play. Is there a way I can disable the other sound clip buttons while the current sound is playing then enable all of the buttons when the current sound has stopped.
This is the code that creates one of the sound objects
The free version over at [URL] displays sound in their online demo, but when I download the Fla. and preview it out of CS4 everything works but there are no sounds playing when I flip. SoundOn - true has been set, and I cant work out why it isn't working. No settings have been changed apart from soundon. I have tried with their older version 2.14 and that works fine.
Working on a project with multiple sounds (all contained in different MCs) played by different key board events. Most of it works, but when I try to use simultaneous 2 button combinations to call upon a different sound, all 3 sounds play at once. The 3 sounds are as follows: the sound associated with the first button, the sound associated with the second button, and the sound associated with the 2 button combo. I've made several different true/false statements to override different events and states, but they don't affect the playing of the MCs. I've also tried using attachSound but I don't like the results I'm getting from that either.
How can I stop the first 2 sounds from being played, so only the 3rd sound can be heard?
I'm working on a game in Flash, and everything's going along great, until I start trying to play sound effects. The minute I start trying to play a sound, the whole app seems to "hiccup", frames get dropped, and things generally get ugly for a little bit. I'm loading sounds by copying them into my Flash CS3 library, exporting them for ActionScript with a Base Class of flash.media.Sound. I'm playing them through a class that looks a little something like this...
Code: public class SoundPlayer { private var _mySound:Sound; public function SoundPlayer() { _mySound = new ExampleGame.SoundFromLibrary(); } public function playSound() { _mySound.play(); }}
This all seems pretty straightforward, so I can't figure out why Flash is complaining when it first tries to play the sound. The sound itself is a 40k. mp3 file that lasts about 2 seconds. Not the shortest sound in the world, but I'm sure I've heard larger sounds in games.
Inspired by Andre michelle, I`m building a tone matrix in AS3.I managed to create the matrix and generate the different sounds. They don´t sound that good, but I´m getting there One big problem I have is when more than one dot is set to play, it sounds just horrible. I googled a lot and found the additive synthesis method but don´t have a clue how to apply it to as3.anybody out there knows how to play multiple sounds together? any hint?
I've got 2 different movieclips, one named playScreen and one named gameOverScreen. I've got a function in playScreen that plays a gunshot everytime I press the left mouse button, but when I do removeChild on playScreen and addChild on gameOverScreen, the gunshot sound still plays when I press the left mouse button.
I have an animated flash site with lots of small mp3s placed directly on frames to match the animations.URL...Placing sounds on the frames added to the overall file size but was fine till I tried to create a sound off/on button - it seems that to manipulate ALL sounds they need to be placed into a movieclip.After followind a Kenny Bellows sound tutorial I placed all the little mp3's in an external file externalSoundObjects.swf.[code]I can place the mp3's back on the animation's timeline if anyone knows how I can get a sound on/off button to stop ALL sounds (incl. in child.swf's).Otherwise if anyone knows how to get the external sounds working I think I can then create a sound on/off myself
i seem to be posting a lot at the moment but i am trying to get my Flash Skills up to date, hope im not annoying anyone too much. Basically i have a small project where pressing a button will trigger a sound, So when i click 'Button1' it plays the sound assigned to 'Button1', I have done this like the following.
[Code]...
Eventually i am going to have 20 different sounds, i know i need to probably assign each sound to its own individual sound channel. i tried manipulating the for statement to say something like var [i]Channel = new SoundChannel; in the hope that it would assign a number next to the SoundChannel thus making it unique,
I put my music player to one domain and music files to the other one (i.e.:[URL]. As the player's setup is via xml file I just set there to look for that .mp3s with given url. I thought I need to put some crossdomain.xml to the domain with mp3s but meanwhile my music player doesn't need it and loads all the music from other server and plays.. So, do I need some policy file or so as I thought, or maybe my thoughts are outdated?

I have three embedded video clips that are inside of movieClips. They I have buttons that take you to a framelabel where those movieClips are located. Each movieClip containing each movie are on separate frames. (See attached image)
When I click on any of the buttons that take me to any videoClips other than the first one, make the audio from the previous embedded Video on the timeline in front of the one I went to , start to play.
I have SoundMixer.stopAll();
on everybutton before I tell it to go anywhere. what to do to only get audio from the video clip in that section of the timeline to play.
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 need a flv with two sound. I want to load load two different sound for one flv file. For example I want to load my flv file in frame 1 with sound 1 then I want to load my flv file in frame 2 with sound 2. How can I do it?
I have a main movie loading a SoundMC which loads 12 swf's that contain mp3's with preloaders in each swf.
example LoadMovie("swfName","_level10")My issue is that when the swf loads it will load in the top left corner of my movie. So I put it inside of a movieclip and tried to attachMovie("clipname")setProperty._x = x; setProperty._y = x; but no Love. Should I put this in the Main timeline or in the SoundMC timeline or not use it at all?
PHP Code: var mySoundReq:URLRequest= new URLRequest("samplesound.mp3"); var mySound:Sound = new Sound(); mySound.load(mySoundReq);
How does the urlrequest know where that .mp3 file is located, and how do i tell as3 where it is? and another thing: when i put this on the web, how do i locate the file then?
I made an app. I figured out how to load all my images into in.I have about 1000 images and 1000 sounds that I am using in it. About 70MB of data How will this affect a users computer? Is it even possible the load up this much content?I ask because I am getting stack overload error on my bulkloader!Scares me to think that months of work will go down the drain because I can't load this much data!
I made some sort of MP3 player based on an XML file, and I want to load the next track when pressed on a button. Well that part works, the problem is, when I play the next song, this is what happens:
- The next song plays
- The bar that is normally buffering is already full
- When I skip to a part of the song, it skips to the first song!
How can I "clear" a sound variable and load another one?
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.
I want to write a function that will load all of my external sounds stored in an array which are just strings of their filenames ie:
var soundList:Array = new Array(); soundList = ["sound1.wav", "sound2.wav", etc];
And create a new array with sound Objects that will have the sounds loaded in them (for later execution). After loading all of the sounds in the soundList array, the function should return or just set a _root value to 'true' ie:
I 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?
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 am developing a SWF player. The application plays SWF instead of FLV. The SWF, that has to be played is a simple static movie. The application requires SWF to be played while it's being loaded just like FLV's get played.
Now, Is there any way to play SWF file while it's being loaded??
I am creating a SWF that will act as a SWF player. It will play 4 different short SWF clips. While it is playing the first SWF, I want to to be loading the second, third and fourth SWFs. But I don't know how to load something without having it automatically play once it is loaded.This is the code that I used to play the first movie. The external SWFs are named "1.swf", "2.swf", "3.swf", and "4.swf".
var mclProject:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); mclProject.loadClip("1.swf",container); var loaderListener:Object = new Object();[code]...........
