ActionScript 3.0 :: Loop Animation Playback-sound Keeps True?
Dec 2, 2011
I am making a little flash animation, and for this one scene, I need an animation to loop over and over, while a soundtrack plays underneath.
My sound file is 867 frames long. My animation is 20. I want the animation to loop every 20 frames, and the sound to loop every 867. I tried with making the animation loop by itself, and it started the sound from the beginning every 20 frames. While the sound beneath it was still playing.
In other words, is there a way so that a sound layer is not affected by the looping of the animation?

ok so im having an issue with Flash CS5.I have a sound looping, and my animation is only 13 frames long, while the song is like a minute long, so each time the animation loops threw the default "Loop Playback" a new sound audio is played which os overlapping the previous over and over causing a massive echo effect.Whats the best way to loop both of them insync, or atleast copy and paste the animations frames and make it the length of the song?

I have a long mp3 file hosted on a standard apache server (30 minutes long so far, but I would like it to work with longer sounds too).I'd like to start playback of this audio within at a specified point. When attempting to use Flash Actionscript 3, my basic tests show that ALL the audio from the start to the position I choose is buffered before playback (Sound.bytesLoaded was my friend here). If I start one second in, it takes about 3 seconds to start playback, 30 seconds in, takes about 25 secondsObviously with a really long mp3, like skipping playback to the middle of a 3-hour audiobook, this isn't going to be practical.Here's the ActionScript 3.0 code I'm using:
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, function():void {
var s:Sound = new Sound();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://example.com/audio.mp3");

I have 2 movieclips with instance names: bonus and platform. (and a movieclip inside platform with instance name: hit) I need a sound to play when hitTest is true.
Here is non-working code:
[Code]...
I dont see why this doesnt work. The sound is in the library with linkage name: snd50Points The trace("hit"); doesnt give an output when they do collide. I have a seperate hitTest that does give an output however, could this mean I cant have a hitTest of the same thing at once? I cant delete the onEnterFrame loops of the other hitTest because it has code that needs repeating. So yeah, I need a sound to play once when they collide and play the sound once again when they collide and so on.

I have an array. I have a button, when I press on it I want to be able to loop through every item in the array and see if EVERY item is equal to true, if so I want something to happen.
var allIsTrue = false;
_global.myArray = [false, true, false, true, false, true, false, false, false, false, false, false, false,false,false,true]
///would not do something
[Code].....
I thought I could loop through each one and if a false statement if found, the loop stops and the variable allIsTrue = false. But if the loop cycles all the way through allIsTrue = true.

I have a swf within a html page. There is a function that opens an html page when an object gets to a certain x position. However, when the object gets to that point the new html page (in _self) opens over and over again and get stuck in a loop. Any way to escape this loop and what would be the best way to trigger this new html page to open when the x position of the object is true?

does setting the fixed property of a Vector to true before entering a loop is better for performance?

ok lets say you create a button that when held down play an animation of 20 frames if realsed it goes to frame one and stops if held down it plays out this animation. for the topic lets say you have a fire animation and you want the fire to apear and if the user hold its down the animation reaches the end of the time line and loops back and plays the last 5 frames of the animation and as soon as it is let go it goes to and stops at frame one. Well i know how to make a button that when held down plays out an animation. And i know how to say when released goes to and stops at frame one. What i dont know how to do is to loop the fire at the last 5 or 6 frames so the user can hold it down all day long and play out that animation.

so I have a looping animation that is several frames long. Inside the animation is a button, when pressed I want to go to another part of the timeline, where another animation is waiting. Simple, I got that working no problem. But... I need the first animation to go to the last frame in the loop before starting the next animation. The way I have it now makes an ugly cut, and the transition between animations isn't seamless.

I am trying to make an existing Flash movie on a site I'm working on loop playback. Most instructions I found on this said to use:
<param name="loop" value="true">
but this does not work when I try to play the movie. I assume something else in the code is conflicting. This is the code for the Flash Player:

I know that Flash generally has some very good video support.I am wondering if anyone knows and/or has experience with using Flash video with these types of modificatiions:
- having programic control over the video playback speed. if so, how? is there a simple FPS variable?
- also, would if be possible to slow down the video while maintaining a consistent pitch (tone) of the audio playback? ie.,if we were playing a video of a person playing guitar, we could slow it down to better see the guitar player using their skills,yet hear the song also slower but without modifying the pitch of the notes.
- also is it possible to set loop playback points dynamically? ie, to create a custom interface where the user could set loop points on an entire video that would continue to loop on that portion of the video only.

I'm experiencing difficulty when playing sound files. When I start the playback of the timelime using the enter/return button everything plays as it should. When I press it again to stop, the visuals stop but the sound file in the timeline just keeps playing until it reaches the end of the track- even if I have cut some out of the timeline. I used to use mx 2004 and never had the problem. Note: I am using this in college not on a personal computer.

my as2 chops are minimal (as3 are non existent) but i have been animating in flash for a while.
I have a movie with an imported flv I made in AfterEffects. I have 2 movieClips that need to animate at certain times during the playback. I was able to add cuePoints in media encoder (i think) but can't figure out how to use them in flash.

I build a lot of very small scale flash websites and I often use simple animation effects such as fading images in/out, sliding consoles in/out, etc. Up to this point I've just used the Tweener class provided in the caurina package.However, I find that my effects (as simple as they are) are very choppy, and often lag. I'm wondering if there are strategies out there for getting better looking animation. I tried to see if there were any multithreading options so that I could allocate a thread to just animation but apparently there isn't...so I'm not sure what else I can do to make the playback smoother.
I go to many sites and see flash transitions that playback at optimal speed and I have no idea how that is so commonly achieved. Are there good practices out there for optimal animation playback? Or some utility that is commonly used? I read that PixelBender effects run on their own thread, but I don't think PixelBender can do everything I need to do, and I doubt that the majority of Flash sites out there use PixelBender.

I'm new to Actionscript and also new here. I've seen a lot of posts on this topic here and elsewhere, but forgive me, as I am having a hard time getting my particular Actionscript to work.
My goal is to have an external mp3 start playing by default, then continuously loop back to the beginning and play each time it reaches its end. All the while, I need to be able to play and pause the mp3 with buttons.So far, I believe I have everything working correctly EXCEPT for getting the sound to loop while retaining the functionality of my buttons.

I'm trying to do is use a keyboard event to play a whole movieclip once then stop once the animation sequence is over. However, when I press the corresponding key, all it does is play the animation for as long as the key is held down. What I want it to do is play the whole animation when you press the key just once.This is my code:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
var space:Boolean = false;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,doNothing);[code]..............

I have a movie clip that needs to loop inside a movie clip in Flash. Would someone post the code to paste into the ActionScript window? The .flv has no skin on it. I have done this so that I can put the video file outside of the Flash movie.

doing sound recording and playback in flash. I found this code from a tutorial and converted it to a flash document. From my traces, the record functions seem to be called. But when I try to play back the data, it tells me that the byteArray is empty. I've tested and I know that my microphone is working.
When I trace the size of the ByteArray, it returns 0;
So why does no data get recorded into the ByteArray?
output:
Recording
Stopped recording
Start Playing
Play Data - NO DATA

Attached I have a small .fla that basically does the following:
1. A button is clicked (calling the playSound function)
2. The sound is then played, also a small instance of the button is called from the AS library and placed within a sprite that is within a movie clip at the bottom. The event listener is also removed from the main button so it can only be called once.
3. When the small instance of the button is pressed (within the sprite) it stops the sound, removes the icon and re enables the buttons event listener.
It all works fine, and it is worth mentioning I am still new to Flash but getting to understand it more. I plan on having 20 buttons on the screen, and surely theres an easier way then having 20 functions, all more or less doing the same thing!

I want to import a video for optional playback into a flash animation. Now, the animation is a loop and replays after 120 frames or so. I noticed when I exported my moviemaker video and imported it into flash, it automatically asked me if i wanted it to arrange it to fit or not. the thing is, i don't want the video to automatically play like flash does for default. What i want is to be able to have it look like how a video looks in youtube 'before' you play it..you know how it has that 'arrow' sitting on it with a black screen showing
you that it's ready to be played if you want it to? well, that's what i want. so, if someone stumbles upon my animation loop on the web, they will see a little video in the upper corner that has the ability to play but it doesn't start
playing right when they get to the page.Also, when they play the video, the length is obviously longer than the loop of my animation, but I obviously don't want it cutting off when my loops ends and restarts, so is there a way to code where it will keep playing on it's own timeline apart from what the flash animation loop is doing? (it should be able to play all the way through, end, and be able to be played again no matter how many loops the animation goes through)second thing i want, is the video to be small..like maybe 220 X 180 in size.
when i exported in Moviemaker, I actually got a video size that I liked but the quality looked poor and sounded poor (I went with the Pocket PC export 148kbps or something like that). Now, was the quality poor just because Flash had to cut it off because of the animation loop restarting or is it going to be poor just cuz PocketPC export is a bad choice? In other words, what export choice should I go with in Moviemaker to get the desired results i want (with the desired width + height I want as well)?
Do you have to code to make it be a video that's got the arrow/blk bkgrd i.e. not playable til a user clicks...or do you just have to export it a certain way in Moviemaker to make it's format that way?

I am working on a project and I want to know if it is possible for flash to control the playback speed of sound files (mpeg). I dont care if they are external or imported since the project will only run locally. IT is a game where I want to slow down and speed up the sounds playing.

I'm currently recording and storing a ByteArray of sound and then playing it back. But for some reason the playback starting position of the ByteArray is 163840, not 0 as I need it to be.
var soundBA:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
var sound:Sound = new Sound();
var ch:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var recordingsArray:Array = new Array();

I've been trying to get it to loop after it finishes playing, but it doesn't seem to work even with the "loop" parameter set to "true." I read online that there may be something with the flash file (exporting from the original .fla), but this is actually a .flv file that I imported into Flash, and exported as an .swf file.
