I have problem with sounds in AS3. I add 4 frame in to my timeline and add to them 4 diffirent sounds. Add button next gotoAndStop on next frame and ofc stop(); line. First frame work fine, same two and three. When i start four (and any next) every sound starting play overlap on self. In AS2 everything works fine. Where problem is?
View 1 RepliesHow do I access Timeline sounds from Actionscript? The sounds have to be in the timeline for my current animation, as the animation is timed to the sound. But other parts of the animation need to react to the sound's amplitude via actionscript 3.

I'm trying to pause and resume sounds my movie. I came across this helpful write-up for pausing/resuming via Sound objects. My question is whether it is possible to pause/resume sounds associated with keyframes in the timeline. I know I can stop/pause them by creating a Sound object associated with _root, but when I go to resume them, it waits until it hits the next keyframe to play the next sound. Is it possible to resume keyframe-based sounds, or instead of dragging those sounds on the timeline should I assign them to sound objects instead?
View 1 RepliesI come to you once again after hours of frustration. I have two swf's that are displaying a pop-up window of sorts. The first is easy (and it works): the user clicks a button and the appropriate pop-up opens with a "close window" button. When the user clicks that "close" button, the pop-up closes revealing the original view again. The code on the main timeline for this one is:
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, openWindowEvent4)
function openWindowEvent4(event:MouseEvent):void{
my_mc.play();

I have a long timeline (5000+ frames) with cartoon animation and streaming dialogue sound on it. I've run into the dreaded audio sync problem. I found many discussions, peaking around 2005, but no solutions for this problem. I have a track of silence to ensure frame-dropping even between lines of dialogue. Prior to around 2000 frames the error is not noticeable.
My testing shows that playback is off by 2 frames per 1000 at 24fps. So at frame 10,000 the audio is out of sync with the graphics by 20 frames, nearly a second. This is predictable and reproducible on a variety of PCs and an iMac. I'm publishing to Flash 8 + AS2, but publishing to Flash 9 or Flash 10 don't make any difference at all.
I don't want to split this into multiple SWFs. Scenes don't help. Putting things into multiple movieclips would complicate my controls and our workflow. Just shifting the audio on the timeline is preferable to those solutions, but it makes maintenance difficult.
How can i speed up the preloader. And where should i place the movieclips and sounds in the timeline. Should i check the export in firstframe or not?

View 4 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 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 have researched the subject for some time now and still haven't figure it out.I use midas3 library (Midi-actionscript3) to import midi to flash. I get each note-item on a timeline. I get the divisions value (192) and all of the "GET-TEMPO" elements are equal to 81.I tried a lot of combinations to get the actual time of the midi but still no good (timeline*192/60 for example).The reason I know it is not synchronized to the actual time is that when I visualize the notes as simple rectangles in flash - I check if they appear exactly to what the mp3 file plays (I have converted the midi file to this mp3 using simple conversion program)I have read a lot about how all is calculated but still haven't figure out the number I need to use to get it right (timeline * MysteriusConstant = ReaTIME, what is the value of MysteriusConstant? is it really constant? and if not how do I calculate how it is changed?)

View 2 RepliesI have a file comprised of 1 scene and two movie clips. The clips are instanced into the Main Timeline and occupy Frames 1 and 2 respectively.MovieClip1 is an animation that has navigation buttons that appear at the end of the clip. I'm trying to get mouse click navigation to make Frame 2 on the Main Timeline active.
Here is what I'm trying but it is not working:
btExplore.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ExploreClick);
function ExploreClick (evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
this takes the animation to Frame 2 of the Movie Clip Timeline not Frame 2 the Main Timeline.
I'm having some problem with the workflow of flash.I make web banners everyday att my work att it is important to me to have the banners easy structured so I can copy effects, tweens and symbols to a new banner. I have Flash CS3 pro.I always start by making a symbols. And then in the symbols own timeline I make the animation or effect.
The big problem I'm having is when I have the main (scene1) timeline with many frames, and then have symbols on that timeline, with it's own timeline with some frames. The frames in the symbol timeline is okey, but at the main timeline the frames is too short or too long so the animation of the symbol cuts of early or it plays more than one time (too many frames).
How do I calculate how long a symbols timeline should be so It maches the main timeline?What happens to me is that I always have to adjust the symbols timeline and the main timeline, and this I have to do many times.
so here's the function on main stage:

Why does a child movieclip only show the first frame within the IDE, regardless of where you are in the parent timeline?If you throw a movieclip with 25 frames onto the main timeline, which also has 25 frame, you don't see the nested movieclip's frame-progress while you scroll through the main timeline.Is there a setting somewhere in preferences or somewhere that will enable you to see a nested movieclip's frame position from the main timeline? Like you do with After Effects composites?

View 3 Replieshow many of you use scenes to get your projects done. I've been switching to a different scene for every new angle (I'm making a flash movie, drawing somewhat 3D perspective, and storyboarding it out like a movie.) I find it makes it easier to organize the timeline, and not take up as many frames per timeline. Are there any downfalls to this method? Because I'm early on in the production, and if there's going to be any problems down the road I'd like to know before I get too involved.

Is it possible to make the timeline run backwards through the timeline, so that I don't have to waste resources on reversing my scene intro animation later on in my main timeline? (imagine the intro is zooming into a book, then the reverse effect zooming out of the book).
I have been wondering this for a long time, but I assume that this is not possible.
