View 9 RepliesI am trying to use the External SWF Preloading Tutorial. Its a great tutorial, but when i try and load the swfs inside the holder it loses some of its functionality.

Does anyone know why this might be or if it has been answered before.
I got it to work by using loadMovieNum but then lost placement of the swf it keeps going to the top left. I would really like to use loadClip it seems alot more customizable.
I download the files for Lee's "Preloading in ActionScript 3" Tutorial and encounter a problem when I try to change the font family for the percent text. No problems when changing the size and color, just the family. Does anyone know why this happens? [URL]
View 5 RepliesI've been told by another intern where I work, that I must package the game I'm making in an swf file and then preload it.So I'm trying that but fail.I have two issues:1) I use BitmapImages but don't know anymore what to do with them. Is I preload the swf does that mean all images the game uses are automatically are preloaded as well? 2) When I try to preload my own game, it doesn't show up. Oh uhmm.. I use flashdevelop so the preloader project has a Preloader class and a Main class. My game has a Main class as well.Below is the code I use to preload my own game:

View 1 RepliesHow to import sound with AS? Cuz i have tried it and my sound just wount play. Can you explain me where my sound should be and what is the as code for importing cuz i use
mysound = new Sound();
mysound.attachSound("SoundOn");
mysound.start();
and this SoundON from where i get it, i try to add linkage to the sound file but in CS4 i cant find the option;. I do it from the library, adding text into the linkage field but still my sound doesn't want to play?
I've tried to use it. It works fine in all the browsers in a non frame layout. But when aplying it to a frame layout (i know, not cool but nessecairy) it refuses to work, and it generates an error message. That it can't open the requested HTML page.
View 1 RepliesI have read lots of posts with similar problems, however, my preloader is slightly different as it is a separate file altogether. I have attached a sound on frame 50 of my movie using 'attach sound'.It plays fine. On my linkage I have ticked 'export on first frame'. When this is not ticked it does not play. So I left it ticked.
My preloader is a seperate .swf that loads the movie that has the sound.I can tell the sound has loaded as the preloader takes a lot longer. However, when the movie has loaded and begins to play the sound just does not exist. Or it is shy and does not want to talk.I can't do the thing everyone is suggesting (moving sound to frame 3 and unchecking 'export on first frame', then modifying my preloader script) because my preloader is separate to my movie.
I tried the digital clock tutorial on Kirupa, but it doesn't display the correct time, even the example on the tutorial page is wrong. For example if my cpu clock says 3:00 PM, Saturday, November 13, 2004 the tutorial clock says 15:00 AM, Saturday, December 13, 2004. Could someone show me how to fix this,
View 1 RepliesThe code seems OK but I can't hear the sound. I have it in the fla/swf and exported etc... I suppose something in this code is wrong. Haven't coded for ages - bit rusty I'm afraid.

we are making an app that uses a lot of images. Is it possible to preload all the images at the start of the app ? So the user doesn't have to wait in beteen switching the images.
View 3 RepliesWe are working at a complex AS3.0/Flash game project, where we need to preload and cache around 70 movie files with sound. But somehow the preloaded videos all seem to block a sound channel and so some sounds are not played in the game, as we seem to exceed the 32 sound channels. I cannot provide any technical details at the moment, but I will add them as soon as the developer in charge is back in the office.
View 1 RepliesI've run into some trouble with making a preloader for my flash file. First I went ahead and made an external preloader that loaded in the swf file - but then all my audio did not play (they are called upon as sound objects). Found this out because the file is loaded into the preloader but not the audio files from the library???
But if I put the preloader in the actual flash file it's kind of useless as it wants to preload all the audio on the first frame. Now I went ahead and changed it to load on frame 2 or 3 (using the publish settings to set "Export frame for classes") but now the audio will not play at all!
Are preloaders doomed to fail in AS2 when there is audio files being called within the library as sound objects??
I sent an email to pom regarding a tutorial that he wrote, but the email was bounced and he hasn't replied to my PM. I have followed both of pom's tutorials that involve experiments with perspective in Flash, but I have encountered a problem while attempting to duplicate a movie clip symbol in the second tutorial ([URL]). I have a single instance of the "ball" movie clip symbol appearing at random positions. However, I cannot seem to successfully duplicate the symbol instance at random positions using the loop that pom provided:

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.
View 1 Repliesi am working on a slide presentation, with audio commentary. There are several swf's each with a separate mp3, which i am playing with media controller. I am loading each swf file on a base swf. Problem is the sound of a particular swf doesn't stop even when it's swf is unloaded. So when the next file is loaded, two simultaneous audio tracks can be heard.
i tried putting stopallsounds on the button which loads the next swf, but it doesn't work either.
I have movie clip buttons with a dynamic sound withing a slide show. Slide show consists of 3 movie clips connecting on frames 1, 300 and 900. The movie clip buttons with sound over are within the connecting movie clips. My problem is that although the sound and buttons work fine most of the time, sometimes, particularly if I mouse over the button wile it's transitioning on one of the connecting frames (300, 900), the sound doesn't stop... I'm sure I'm missing something in the Action Script?? Here's the script I'm using for the buttons:
stop();
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

I have this problem when I try to fade in sound with the function below. It just doesn't work and I can't figure out where the problem is. I would like to fade in a looping sound but nothing happens.
this is used to play a sound via events
Code:
dispatchEvent(new CustomEventSound(CustomEventSound.PLAY_SOUND, Main.SOUND_AMBIENT, false, true, false, 999999, 0, 0, setSoundVolume));
this is the function to play a sound. the stop-function is almost identical to this one.
Code:
public function playSound(soundName:String, isSoundTrack:Boolean = false, fadeIn:Boolean = false, fadeOut:Boolean = false,
loops:int = 1, offset:Number = 0, volume:Number = 1):void {

im having a problem with sound in the animation. I noticed that sound doesnt sync properly in 24 fps.The sound actually does sync properly when the sound is an event, but when the sound is set to stream, it actually doesnt play properly, and i need my animation to have streaming sound especially for the internet. So for example, if i added a sound effect to start on frame 30, when i play the animation in swf, the sound effect actually starts playing at the wrong frame, in this case, the sound plays before frame 30. So in this case, the sound plays too early, and therefore the sound effect doesnt match with the animation itself. I wanted my animation to be at 24 fps, so i assume theres something that i have to do to get sound to sync properly with the animation at 24 fps.
View 2 RepliesThe keyword is "sometimes".
I recompiled a Flash 8 project in Flash CS3 recently and noticed that some of the sound effects sounded like a painful chippy mess. It sounded like the mp3 bitrate was at the lowest Flash outputs (16kbps). I compiled again, and all the problems went away. Then I compiled again and different sounds went chippy!
Fine, whatever. Maybe it's a glitch between project versions.
This week I built a project from the ground up in Flash CS3 with AS 3.0 . The chippy compression is still there and happens most of the time. Both my global and local compression settings for sound clips are mp3, 160kbps, Stereo.
I have a button that when clicked, it's supposed to play a sound. Now, the sound does play when it's clicked, but it seems to be offset (meaning, it starts a few seconds later in the sound). As a result, only half of the sound plays.I have two buttons that do this, and I'm not sure what caused them to do so.I've never had this problem before, so I'm clueless where to go to fix it. I tried verifying the integrity of the sound, and it's normal. When I check it's proporties from the library, and "Test" the sound, it plays just fine, with no offset or anything.Here is the code I have for the button that causes this behavior:
Code:
var soundEffect_Button = new SND_EFFECT();
soundEffect_Button_instance_manual.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,SndEffectDown);
//Make the callback[code].........
It stop sound sometimes and sometimes it doesnt
var soundReqTele:URLRequest = new URLRequest("sounds/telephone_ring.mp3");
var soundTele:Sound = new Sound();
var controller:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
soundTele.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, soundLoaded);
