ActionScript 3.0 :: Looping Sound And Controlling Playback?
Feb 1, 2009
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 have four flv videos (video1.flv, video2.flv,video3.flv and video4.flv) and I want to play them one after the other. When video4.flv is finished I need the movie to start playing video1.flv again and the rest after it, an endless loop. How can I do that? I'm using CS3 ,AS2 and Flash Player 9.
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 am embedding a swf built in flash 8 into an as3 project. When I call stop() or gotoAndStop(0); on the MovieClip that represents an instance of the embedded swf it stops for a sec and then continues. Trying to call removeChild on the mc removes it from the display but the audio in the swf keeps playing. The swf, in this case must be embedded, I cannot use loader.[code]
I am trying to loop my external video with flash cs5, I know little about actionscript 3.0 . Haven't be able to get anywhere it uses a component called FLVPlackback. I started off with a flash template that I have tweaked to my needs Here is the .fla file I am adding the video I want to loop the the photos page
I'm basically making a step-by-step tutorial. There is a nav section of just 2 buttons, one for the "previous step," and the other for the "next step."
Just to make it easier (or maybe not...) I've named all instances of my movieclips "mc1" "mc2" etc... And I've created ActionScript that notes what "page" you're on, and using a for loop, makes the movieclip that corresponds to the current page (page #2 >> mc2) visible while at the same time making every other movieclip invisible. I've got all of that working properly.
What I need to fix is... Say you view the first step's movieclip, and you go on to the next step, but then want to go back to the previous step to watch it again... What you'll see is the last stopped frame of that movieclip rather than seeing the entire animation over again.
I know that I can use setProperty to reference something like "mc"+i, but can I do the same thing with play()? Obviously "mc"+i.play(); doesn't work...

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.
I have a Flash file with several sound fx. one layer has the sound of an airplane engine. Another layer has multiple instances of a camera clicking sound. Problem is that even though I have these sounds set to "repeat 0"... they keep looping! I even placed a stop(); but they still repeat.
to play only once and then stop but the camera flash to keep looping.The sound is on a separate layer, but whenever I put the 'stop' feature in the ActionScript, it stops the WHOLE THING, so the camera flashes only once.Again, I want the camera flash to repeat, but the click sound to play only once.
i'm having a sound looping issue at the moment on my site. I'm trying to make it so i have sparks shooting out of something, and at the same time the sparks shoot out i have a electric type sound. BUT the graphics all seem to work, but the sound for some reason, just keeps looping even when i'm not moused over. I put stops for the sound all over the place on like every frame and still doesn't work. Is there a bit of code I can use somewhere that will just mute the stupid thing after you take your mouse off the button?
here you can see what i'm talking about. I don't have it on loop. [URL].. the way i'm getting this animation to work, is by having one big movie clip and inside that movie clip i have the sparks movie clip, and the blue fade movie clip, then i just dropped in the sound where the sparks movie clip is.
I am fairly new to Flash, but I'm creating a sort of sampler for a university project. I have 16 circles each with toggle buttons. The on state included a sound file placed on the toggle movie clip's timeline. The sound is set to Start and Loop.
Basically, I want the first frame of the movie clip (the off toggle) to stop the sound from looping but despite my best efforts, nothing seems to work.
I have tried this.stop(), seachord.stop(), this.stop(Sound), this.stopAllSounds. I wonder if there is some sort of actionscript that will allow me to change the state of the sound file from Loop to Repeat, at least that way the sound will stop with a simple stop() script... I hope.
Alternatively, is there a way to stopAllSounds within one movie clip, rather than globally?
I have set up a movie in which i have imported the music. the movie is about 1 min long and music about 3 min. I have imported the music--works great I have set up a mute/unmute button--works great But I want the movie to loop, but not the music. The movie loops naturally at frame 1, but the music starts again while playing the the music from the first loop.
i am creating this little drum program, and the sounds is all done, all i need now is the ability to record what you play so you can play it back right afterwards.
I hope I'm in the right place for this. What I want to do is rather simple but I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to flash, specially scripting.I want to create a perfect loop of a 60 frames image sequence and and an .wav audio loop I created in SoundbooThe animation loops forever without copying the frames over and over again and I want the sound loop also to play forever. Just like it was made in this flash above.What I have so far is this line of code in the first frame of an empty layer:mySound = new Sound();mySound.attachSound("RobotsFTW.wav");Sound.start(0,100);but after some time the audio gets delayed and I have the same sound played over and over again
sound loops wonderfully when I just let it play. And, my sound would loop perfectly if I set up just start and stop buttons to control it.
But, here's the problem. I want the "stop" button to function as a "pause" button rather than a "stop" button.
[Code]...
So now, it pauses and plays perfectly, the problem is that when it gets to the end of the sound file, it loops back to the last point it was "un-paused" rather than looping back to the beginning of the sound file. Make sense? Has anyone come across this before? How can I get it to loop back to the beginning no matter when it was paused?
I have got stuck in an issue of syncronization of sound looping.What i have got issue is when the loaded sound start again it doesnot give the the sound in syncronize way. it gives a click sound sound then start agains.while on testing the song in the any song player it will not give such a click sound. There are smooth sound in that.
im currently building a site with 3 buttons and each buttons loads an external swf for each section of the site on a empty movie clip, im having an issue with the video section that has an video thumb gallery loading flv videos,
every time i try to go somewhere else in the site, the video sound continues to play (loop) behind the scene.
this is the actionscript code im using for my buttons.
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
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?
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!
What Im looking to do is decrement the volume level on each iteration of a looped sound.[code]How do I check each time it loops? I'm currently storing all playing sounds by ID inside a Dictionary object. Keep in mind that there will be different sound playing. I wasn't sure if I should be using a SoundChannel here either.
I have a small loop of a beat. it automatically loops in flash, i need a button to mute this specific sound (so i can put other different sounds) and another button to unmute it... i've seen how to mute a sound (or set volume to zero) but that only works if the song is beiing played on the timeline, but this sound is looping!
I am working on a Holiday Card for work, with a sound loop and an On/Off button. I used a boolean variable with and If/Else statement to check if the user had turned the sound off, as the movie looped back around to the beginning. After a lot of trial and error, I've gotten it to almost work properly... the buttons work correctly and the sound will stay on or off (after the loop) depending on what the user chooses. BUT, I cannot get the music to automatically start playing when the flash movie starts... the movie starts with the sound off. Is it possible for one of the seasoned AS3 veterans to take a quick look at my code below
MAIN CODE: --- var pausePoint:Number = 0.00; var isPlaying:Boolean; var soundChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel(); var sound:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("GlidingOnAir.mp3"));
Im having trouble try to decrement the volume level of a sound after each loop. I am playing the sound just like this (not in a SoundChannel):
ActionScript Code: var playCh:Dictionary = new Dictionary(); //.... private static function loopMySnd(id:String, loopAmount:int):void{
[code]....
The problem is that the COMPLETE only picks up the first time the sound cmpletes playing and not the second or third. How do I check each time it loops? I am currently storing all playing sounds by ID inside a Dictionary object.
I got a loop that I'm loading into Flash with the Sound object. The sound loads good and it starts playing but when it loops back to the beginning there's some silence and then it loops again. The sound loops fine in a sound editing program, the only problem is that Flash leaves a gap when its going to start again. How to make a sound loop seamlessly?
This is my code: loadMusic = function() { loop = new Sound(); loop.loadSound("lomtrack.mp3", false); } loadMusic(); playMusic = function() { loop.start(0, 100); } playmusic();
