I have a movieclip that contains an animation with several soundeffects in it.Now i would like to be able to pause the animation and play it again. Which isn't so hard for the animation itself but it is for the sound.
View 0 RepliesI have some trouble with pausing and then resuming sounds in as3.
[Code]....
Pausing goes fine, however when I resume the song again, the sound starts playing a few seconds before I actually paused (so parts of the sound repeats itself). This is really annoying.
I read all of the threads on this forum about pausing audio in a swf. They were all very helpful - if you have control over the swf fla. However i have no control over the swf i am loading. I cannot find a way to reference a sound that is placed on the timeline of the movie. If i had access to the fla of the swf, then i could change the linkage, but again i don't possess the fla.
so does anyone out there know of a way to reference global sounds in a swf? In as 2.0, this could be done easily by declaring a new sound object without a target such as this: var gvol = new Sound();
I can't seem to make this work in AS3.
I need a way to reference a global sound in a swf, so i can then apply the SoundChannel to the sound object, and read the position property within
I have a template I created in CS4 where an flv video clip was embedded with a controller skin, etc. It worked fine.
I'm working in CS5 now and using f4v files, and publishing for Flash 10 Player. The files are targeted, load and play properly, but if I pause the video, then hit play, audio stops. Starting a new clip at a different point in the timeline works fine. I noticed if I turn off autoplay under Component Parameters, audio doesn't work at all.
I want to play an embedded sound referenced from an array.In flash 8 I would simply use this code.Quote:
var mySound = new Sound();
mySound.attachSound(myArray[0][8]);
mySound.start();

I have 100 swf embedded in a page. The swf are various forms of individual audio playbacks.- an swf button that loads an swf into it that has audio on a timeline streamed. AS3
- swf that has streamed audio using scripting so there is no preloading. AS2Since I have 100 and the user could press all 50 at a time and have this giant noise of sounds and bog down their bandwidth. Is there anyway of:- stopping all playing of swfs that has streamed audio using timeline. I guess that could be like a ALL stop frame command??- stop all sounds coming from the streamed audio swf
I am using an xml based slide navigation shell that uses next and back buttons to page through content.
If I use SWFs with embedded audio (which I need to do sometimes) the audio will overlap after I leave the slide, SoundMixer.stopAll() is not doing the trick. I think removeChild may be the direction I need, but I'm not sure how to implement so far.
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 am making a banner which displays jobs and moves upwards on the screen continuously.and every job ad is a button that navigates to the jobadvertisment.The buttons are inside a movieclip that contains all the buttons.I would like to pause this movieclip that is constantly moving upwards on mouseover.but how do I call the parent movieclip to pause on mouseover that resides inside the movieclip?
View 1 RepliesPausing, stopping and playing movieClip (MC) children. I am making SWFs that an interface will load and control (pause, re-start, stop, etc.). Then the interface is paused, the main MC will pause but not it's child MCs. I didn't write the interface, I am just supplying SWFs that are loading into the interface. The developer of the interface willn't allow me to use animated MCs in my SWFs since he can't control them with the interface. So all my animation need to be on the main time line, which is no optimal to say the lease.Can I provide him with some code to allow him to stop the child MCs or is there an Event Listener I could include in the child MCs that would pause, stop, restart, etc when the main MC changes?I currently do not have a fix at this time and since all my animations are on the main timeline, is there a way to select multiple objects (on difference layers) and move and resize them across multiple keyframes?
View 1 Replieshere's what I have going on so far--I have a movieclip that's acting as a continuously scrolling text field, and want it to stop scrolling onMouseDown.
here's my code right now:

This is the predicament Im in. I have 3 files:
Launch.exe
video.swf
pause.swf
In the launch.exe, I have a loadmovie command which loads the external file video.swf. When the video is loaded, I want the viewer to be able to hit the SPACEBAR at any time which will result in pausing the video (pause.swf appears on screen) and after 3 seconds unloads the video.swf file and jumps to a frame label on the Launch.exe timeline. The code below is what I have at the moment but it doesn't work.

I tried to get this right but it just won't work for me. It's probably something very simple. I have a video in a movieclip on my timeline. On the first frame, I have the stop(); command. I want to be able to hit the SPACEBAR: which results in pausing the movieclip and jumping to frame 2 on the timeline.

View 4 RepliesI have attached the file to this document, but basically I have a street scene which will eventually have about 5-6 people walking along the stage.
Currently on rollover of a button within the movie "movement_clip" my button will go to the overstate which shows a still of the animated women standing still. However...what I want to do on rollover, is I also want to pause "movement_clip" wherever it is in the process and then continue from where it got paused on rollout.

View 1 RepliesI 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 1 RepliesI have an application in flash actionscript 2.0 that is running with several parts under each movieclips has an animation inside with a voice over. The problem occurs when I test the movie, the voice over/ sounds plays but when I click the pause button and play again the voice over/ sounds, sounds saggy and later on no sound will play.
View 3 RepliesI'm doing a project that has a lot of time line animation.There are 5 buttons. Each one plays a multi-frame MovieClip containing sounds embedded in its timeline.Then there is a button that stops any of the playing movie clips. Of course, this doesn't stop the soundsormally, I'd just use...ActionScript Code:SoundMixer.SoundTransform.stopAll();Problem is, I also have non-timeline sounds that I have playing on a loop for background music, and the SoundMixer would stop the music too. But I don't want the music to stop.Doing some research, I think any MovieClip can have a SoundTransform property you can adjust, so I should be able to control the sounds just inside specific MovieClips. But I can't figure it out.
View 1 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 having a problem trying to center a movieclip within an externally loaded swf. To test, I placed one instance of the movieclip on the first frame of the timeline on child.swf and centered it and the other is displayed using actionscript. They both align perfectly when I test the swf. The problem is that when I load this swf into another movie (parent.swf) they are no longer aligned with each other. I used this code to align the movieclip in child.swf. It works fine when I open child.swf on it's own but when I load child.swf into parent.swf the movieclips are not aligned.

I'm having a little trouble with finding anything about making a slider to control a embedded Movie Clip... I think it may be because a slider is actually a movie clip object which is why nothing is coming up when i search the keywords i want....
I'm looking for a tutorial on how to create a slider to control the frames/time of a embedded movie clip using as3. Essentially I'm looking to recreate a thing like on the YouTube video player, but it wont need to have anything to do with buffering, just a way of pausing/playing a movie clip from a particular frame or time position.
I know half of the problem:the embedded movieclip is "content" of a Loader, and you can not draw Loaders directly with bitmapData.draw(aLoader);with a normal Loader, you could access the Loader.content and draw it but not in the embedded case.adobe forums could not give an answer to this and i searched for hours through the web ...

I have been toying around with being able to see embedded fonts over different machines, and came a question. Is there a way to use an embedded font for a TextField that is placed in a movieclip that is exported for ActionScript in CS5? I created a movieclip on the stage, that contains a TextField called tf. Then exported this movieclip for use in ActionScript. This movieclip's class is called TF_Container Then I embedded and exported for AS a font called NeonFont.

A method I've used many times on AS2, is not working in AS3. I'm using a gotoAndPlay command within an Event.ENTER_FRAME loop to go to a particular frame on the timeline that holds a movieclip containing a looping movieclip.
[Code]...
It successfully moves the timeline to the "goright" and "goleft" labels, but the problem I'm having is that it never gets past the first frame of the embedded movieclip - clearly because it is resetting the mc every time the onEnterFrameHandler is called.
I want to check the contents of 25 textboxes on stage. Each textbox is embedded inside of a movie clip. Using the counter on a for loop I want to cycle through all 25 textboxes and if they have text in them, i want to place an object overtop of that movie clip . For this example I will only use 3 movieclips, each containing a textbox. The movieclips are named mov1, mov2 and mov3 and the textboxes within them are named text1,text2 and text3
for(var i:uint = 1; i < 4; ++i)
{
var xloc="mov"+i.x
var yloc="mov"+i.y

I'm starting to learn actionscript 3 programming and am in the process of trying to create a simple game but am having trouble getting flash to call up various movieclip states.I have a movieclip called "Player" and inside that movieclip, I have Player_Stand,Player_Hit, and Player_Walk...
While I can get the master movieclip to move, I can't get it to play the embedded movieclips when I change states. I tried a more advanced method that did work where you stick all of the animations in one movieclip and then manually tell flash to advance each frame using gotoAndStop in a loop, but it would be easier to just have seperate movieclips that I could just call from a master movieclip file. I've tried various methods to solve this including having all of the movieclips on screen and then changing their visibility but that didn't work either.

I have a dropdown style menu that has some movieclip buttons inside it and when I click on the movieclips the actions aren't working.
Here is the file I'm working on. Rollover the head on the border and you'll see what I mean. [URL]
I tried searching but couldn't find any threads that answered my question about why the MC doesn't work when its embedded inside another MC.
Here is the code (first frame of root timeline) that is used for the movieclip button:
Code:
_root.odinHead_mc.videoGalleryButton_mc.onPress = function() {
_root.videoGallery_mc._visible = true;
};
I'd like to gain read only access to the following parameters of embedded Flash videos located on sites that I do not own through my own custom browser extension/add-on:
Time location of playback head (so I can display the current time in the browser extension via HTML5/JavaScript) Frames (so I can make capture them to an image file, save it and display image in browser extension) Original Dimensions in pixels (so I can display the original video dimensions via JS/HTML5 in browser extension)
Is this possible by using Javascript and HTML5 from a browser extension?
Would I have to use something like the SWFObject Javascript API [URL]
