I am definitely horrible at ActionScript'ing. So it's taking me a while to get anywhere.
I want to use a button to trigger random sounds (.wav & .mp3) from a folder. And is it possible to do this wihout taking into account the number of sounds in the folder (since there will be many and no set number). And is it possible to this without caking the file names into consideration?
A background music looping in the back, that starts with the opening of the swf and never stops. I think I achieved that with this bit of code :import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
bg music[code].....
Finally I need to jump from frame to frame randomly to play various animations. For example :Project starts, background music starts playing, we hear random sounds played one after the other, while some animations can be seen on screen, playing in a random order.
Is there a program/method to use with actionscript-3 in order to make a virtual folder hierarchy that contains my images and sounds and traverse it at runtime in order to select what to load on the SWF?

View 6 Repliesim currently trying to make a game for a college project, im using flash professional 8,
the game rquires a random sound to be played on a button click, but i have no idea how to do that? all my sounds have instant and libary names of sound_1, sound_2 ect and i currently have this actionscript in place on the button, the button is called play_sounds.
play_sounds.on(mouseDown) = function(){
var randNum = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 10);
var mySound = new Sound();

Now I know this should be straightforward to do, but seen as it's early hours here, I need a fresh pair of eyes.
At the launch of my movie, I want to load in a random sound clip from an array - here's my code...
[Code]....
I'm pretty sure this isn't working because on the ENTER_FRAME command in the eventlistener
What's I'm looking at doing is making a button that plays 1-20 different sounds at random each time the button is clicked (hit), and also have an image swap when that happens. A different sound and different image (the same 1 image per sound, not random images, just sounds "image1 goes with sound1").
View 1 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is simple but I just can't seem to find a clear answer on how to accomplish this. I've loaded jpegs into my main movie before, but I've always created swf files of the jpegs with its own independent preloader on the first frame of the swf. This seems to work fine but it does get quite tedious having to create all of these swf's. I would like to beable to have a folder present on the server where I can just through in some random jpegs and the main movie will then show and hide a preloading bar showing the progression of the jpeg that is loading.
View 14 RepliesI have a little Flash header and each time it loads I want it to load one of six images randomly, onto the stage as a background... The images will be sitting in a folder in the same directory as the Flash file so they can easily be updated, anyone ever done this?
View 6 RepliesSo I've been messing around with some code to see if I can get a button to play a random sound from an array by using a function. However, I keep getting the error
TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor.
at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/ClickHandler()
Here's my code:
Code:
//-----------------------------------------------------------------
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;

Random number is of course a random number no higher than the array length.
However, Chosen sound is always "null". Should I worry here?
The client needs to be able to upload new videos to a folder, and the flash should load a video randomly. Is it possible to make the flash to read the folder and load a random video, without having to change the ActionScript? The number of videos on the folder may vary.
View 3 RepliesI am currently working on an assignment that requires me to add sound to a mobile game. This is fairly straightforward in many ways but I wondered if there was any way that I could add multiple sounds to a single movie clip or action?
What I really want to do is to have say three or four different sounds for the sound of a spaceship exploding in the game to create variety and stop the gamer getting bored of the same sound every time they hit a spaceship.
Firstly I aim to load random jpgs into a movieclip from a folder online. online image dir As jpgs will be constantly added to this by anyone, I will never know the file.jpg names to put into my AS. So i was advised I needed PHP to do this, (I know little about PHP) I got some space where PHP works! PHP enabled Right so at the moment I have a Movie Clip in flash with a piece of AS that says
[AS]onClipEvent (load) {
loadVariables("http://www.cppa.co.uk/t/test1.php", this, "GET");
filenames.split(":");[code]....
But when trying my php file through firefox its says (php file ."Parse error: parse error, unexpected '.' in c:websitesfreecrystalwww est1.php on line 5"
how to make this piece of PHP script send the flash the filenames of the directory, so flash can random insert on into a movie clip,

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?

View 2 RepliesI 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 using Flash CS3 and Actionscript 2.0.I want to make a photo.jpg that is in my images folder load into a swf that is in a swf folder. It works fine when I have the photo.jpg in the same folder as the swf. But it does not work when I have the photo.jpg in a different folder. What must I do to the AS2 to make this happen? Here is the path: mcLoader.loadClip("swf/images/photo1.jpg",mcHolder);

I have an application done in flash- on the main Scene Level, everything has only one frame but I have MCs and the like that are triggered by actionscript.There are quite a few nested functions on the main actions layer as well as an "onEnterFrame" function that reloads XML data in the background, etc... but that is not the problem.
The problem is, that at one point, I am calling a few MCs that kind of close up a section of the page like blinds- and then I want a text to appear ontop of that now closed area... but if I just write...
Code:
_root.TimelineFader.BlendeT1.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.TimelineFader.BlendeT2.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.TextAboveTimeline.theMessage_txt._visible = true;
...it all happens simultaneously, of course.I guess I could check for "BlendeT1"'s (or T2's) current frame (since it's an MC)... but how do I wait while that MC runs / until it reached a certain frame? How can I keep the rest of the actionscript in the main function from continuing?
