I'm trying to pause and resume play a background sound loop and tweens with the same button
The animation pauses and resumes fine. But when the music resumes, it gets cut-off early, and it doesn't loop anymore.
The code is as follows:

Is there a way to resume a streaming sound once it's been paused and whilst it's being preloaded in AS2?The issue being that start() won't work till the song is fully downloaded, loadSound() is only called initially and attachSound() can't stream.So first the sound is initiated with loadSound(), then I make it "pause" with stop() and what do I use for resuming? loadSound() with re-initiate it and start() won't work till the sound is fully preloaded, what the hell??Is there any other way of streaming external MP3s in AS2? Will simply switching to AS3 solve this?
View 1 RepliesI have a project that has an event sound (a narration) in the timeline.
I need to have buttons that pause and resume this narration, but for some reason I can't seem to find any information on it.
Everything I find online calls an external mp3 and I can't do that because of server restrictions.
I can stop all sounds, but then it doesn't resume from where I left off.
I do also have an AS Linkage name, but I can't seem to get this to pause and resume.
How can I resume sound after after i apply stopAllSounds function?
View 3 RepliesI 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);

my problem pertains to Flash MX and pausing .mp3 files I have loaded externally. I have searched this forum, but every useful thread i found references [URL] but that page gives me and http 500 internal server error... ie the site is down.
but my problem is that I need to know if there is a reletively simple (or actually any at all) way to pause a song through a button that i have externally loaded... this is my code so far:
[AS]
Song = new array("tonight.mp3", "when in doubt.mp3", "hey now.mp3");
bgSound = new Sound(this);
bgSound.loadSound(Song[Math.floor(Math.random()*3)], true);
bgSound.start();
[code]...
It looks a little complicated because i have a volume slider in there, as well as loading songs randomly... but what i need to know is how to get the stopB button to pause the song... and the playB button to resume it... right now stopB just stops the song... and playB loads a new one randomly.
i am making a music player in flashmx but i don't know how to pause the mp3.
View 4 RepliesCan you pause both animation and sound? I know you can do
on(release){
stop();
stopAllSounds();
}
but you can't start the sounds again after that at the place they were at, like a soundtrack. What is the actionscript (if it exists) for a pause and play buttons that also pause and play the sounds?Imported movies pause sound with stop();, do i have to export an swf with like just the soundfile and put that in? Cause i think that would work but sounds like too much trouble.
So my program starts playing and my background music starts to play and loops...
Actionscript Code:
mySoundChannel = mySound.play(0, int.MAX_VALUE);
but i'd like to be able to pause the background music and then continue looping. this is what i'm doing now after i've stopped the song and acquired it's current position, and am ready to play again...
Actionscript Code:
mySoundChannel = mySound.play(resumePosition, int.MAX_VALUE);
problem is that when it loops, it loops back to the resumePosition (as expected since that's when we told it to start playing from). so how to i resume AND loop starting over at the beginning of the song?
I haven't found this one yet, plenty about pausing sound, but I have sound loaded into a movie clip so:
Code:
Intro1 = new Sound (soundLoader);
Intro1.loadSound("SndIntro1.mp3", true);
I'd like to get a pause button to stop the animation, get the position of the sound, stop it also, and then clicking the play button will start the animation, and also the sound from the same position it was stopped (in other words resume the sound). Here's my script for the pause button, it's stopping the animation, but still not the sound:
Code:
on (release) {
pauseTime = Intro1_sound.position;
Intro1_sound.stop();
stop();
}
I am making a set of image galleries which will have looping background music. What are your opinions about the recommended method to bring music in? I am happy with the attachSound and loadSound methods, but wondered whether attaching a soundtrack.swf using loadMovieNum would be better. If so, I only know how to stop and start the music, not pause it and restart where it left off, which is important if I add a narration. Sound Objects seem more versatile because they let you use "position/1000", but from what I have found on the forums I have searched through, I may have to load the swf into a Movieclip or perhaps use _level somewhow?
Here is the code, which works well, but does not "pause" the music, it just stops and starts at the beginning. Code is in the root timeline of my soundControls_mc (play/pause button).
[Flash 8 - AS2]
loadMovieNum("includes/number10.swf", 100);
soundOn = true;
this.onRelease = function() {
if (soundOn == true) {
unloadMovieNum(100);

I'm having problems with pausing and resuming a background sound on one button. I tried some examples from kennybellew.com tutorials, but it just wont work for me.I have done some button work before (toggling, turning layers on/off etc.), i just never had to deal with sound.
View 9 RepliesI have an issue with an animation/movie thingy i am making
When the user for example, Switches a tab in firefox or something. The sound on the video will continue to play, but the animation will pause. Leading the animation to become out of sync with the sound.
Is there a way to make the animation continue playing even if the tab has been changed??
I wanted to have this Zombie Penguin enemy use a walk sound (it would be odd if he moved and was silent) but because it is initializing the whole world, simply coding the sound into his animation state won't work because it will play the sound for every existing Zombie Penguin in the world, not just the one on the screen.
Now I've tried to get around this problem by using a SoundManager class [URL] to load and play/pause the sound when necessary. I've got this working by placing a movieclip above the world and hittesting everything and when it finds a Zombie Penguin activates the SFX. If it finds the enemy and you leave the room or kill the enemy (basically any way it is removed from the screen) it will pause the sound (not stop) and then unpause if you go back/find another instance of that enemy.
The problem is, though, that if I STUN the enemy (not kill it) it plays it's dizzy animation (which consists of hit sitting down with stars spinning around it's head) the walking SFX continues to play as the enemy is still on the screen.Now in the Zombie Penguins .as file it has a boolean that for being stunned or not (bStunned), and a function (public function getZPStun():Boolean -- returns bStunned). this bStunned boolean is set to a default of false.I figure that I just have to reference that somewhere in the following code, but I'm not sure where. The Zombie Penguin's .as is ZPEnemy, so I'm calling it like so:
ZPEnemy.getInstance().getZPStun()
I've tried calling it as part of an if statement a in a number of placesin hopes that calling it will relate the current state of the bStunned boolean, but I can't seem to get it to work.
Code:
var bNotPenguin = true;
for(var i = 0; i<this.numChildren; i++) //** Sound Manager Coding (May 15)

I've created a flash movie for a presentation that has six buttons.Each button has a action script with a root target keyframe,i.e. button three [code]When the timeline reaches the target keyframe the movie stops and movie clip animations for that keyframe play.I have actionsript in the main timeline that allows me to play the main time line in reverse [code] The pause should pause the movie clips if I'm pausing in the target keyframes.
View 3 RepliesI'm making a game, and I'm at the point where I want to add pause and resume functionality. The main onEnterFrame is no problem, but I have a bunch of objects that have their own onEnterFrame functions. These objects also have different functions, for example one for moving, the other for exploding. So each object is in a different state. I can't use hasEventListener, because it only checks for the type of event and not which function is part of the event. Is there a way I can check which functions the ENTER_FRAME event has? If a particular object doesn't have a particular function in its ENTER_FRAME event, I don't want to put it back when I resume the game. I suppose I could have a global variable that tells each function whether or not it's paused, but that feels messy since I would need an if in every single function I have.

I have a Flash GUI...I need to produce a product for delivery on CD/DVD and one of the requirements is for the application to "resume" from the spot where the user quit the application.The fact is, I found a way to do it and it was working perfectly...but once I edited the FLA and republished, the SO only resumed up to a certain point...and the only thing I added to the file was AS to disable the primary navigation buttons at certain locations.[code]

View 5 RepliesI am making a movie where there are parts where words come up and I want to give the watcher enough time to read the words. I know I can just put in tons of frames- but I was wondering if there is a pause and resume method I might be able to use with action script. Something to holed a movie at a certain frame for a certain amount of seconds and then resume until the next pause.

View 7 RepliesI've got a fairly short little animation sequence that the folks here at my work would like to insert into one of our web pages on our site. It's a demo on how to use one of our products, so I'd like to add a few buttons so the user can pause and then resume the entire movie. There is absolutely no scripting applied to the FLA right now.
I've been working on another project that involves scripting some buttons with AS3, so I have some knowledge, but am still having a lot of difficulty,
I have a very simple videoplayer, made much like the reference instructs with netstream and netconnection etc. It used a ordinary http stream (progressive download) I works, but sometimes when I pause the stream for a while and resume, it doesnt resume. I use stream.pause() and stream.resume(). Most of the time it works, but sometimes it doesn't. It's like the connection is being lost. Have anybody here tried the same, or does anyone know a way to tjek if the connection have been lost?

I built an XML based slideshow, but need to delay the actions of it for 10 seconds. basically, I want the first image to come up and pause for 10 seconds, then resume with the original speed. Everything works, except I can't figure out how to pause it. I tried using a separate function to call the first image, then a setTimeout for the main slideshow function, but when the main slideshow came up, it had already started and first two slides were already gone. so I removed the setTimeout and have tried a few different things, but nothing seems to work how i need it to.

View 0 RepliesSo, I'm creating a quiz, and I'm using shared objects to save their resume data. So far so good. MOST of the various things I put into myso.data work fine. But oddly, two bits of information, specifically a String and an Array of Strings come out as [object][Object] when they are reloaded later. Now, at first I thought that maybe they just weren't getting written correctly, so I thought to trace them out before and after I put them in the SO.
When I do trace(myso.data.sectionName) or even trace(myso.data.sectionNamesArray) the first time (i.e. immediately after they get written, but before closing the window) everything works as expected. But if I trace those same things out upon the reopening of the swf, those things become [object][Object] for the String, and an array of [object][Object]s for the Array. So I thought maybe it was Strings in general, but other pieces of information, also Strings or Arrays of Strings trace out fine before and after. It's just these two pieces.
I am semi familiar with flash, but definitely not a pro. I am trying to get a game working and have found some codes that either don't work at all or only half work. Here is what I am trying to do:1.) Across the main timeline are 5 cars going from left to right and right to left, like they are driving across a road. One of the five cars is a "winner car" and the other 4 cars area the "sorry try again" cars. 2.) When the user clicks on any one of the 4 "try again" cars, I would like the entire animation to pause for 5 seconds, and then resume where it left off. There should also be a small message that appears saying "sorry try again" and then resume after 5 seconds.3.) When the user clicks on the 1 "winner car", they will be redirected to new URL. Right now, I have the following action script applied to one of the "try again" cars (a movie clip symbol) but it won't resume on click:
ActionScript Code:
on (press) {
_root.play();

I am making a swf file than can receive function call from c#. Right now, it receives "StartVideo" and starts the video really well without any problem. But, if it receives "PlayVideo" and "PauseVideo", it just restarts the video from the first frame. What did I miss??
