ActionScript 3.0 :: Use The Variable "thekick" To Play A Sound?
Oct 9, 2010
I am playing a sound called "kick909" like this:
chankick = kick909.play();
This is working fine. But now I want to use the variable "thekick" to play a sound which might have the value "kick909", "kick808" or some other value relating to one of my sounds.
chankick = thekick.play(); //is not working
I have an idea that something with square brackets might work but I'm not sure. What I need is a way to use a variable as a name for a sound.
var myVar:String = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters.myVar; var snd:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest(myVar)); var channel:SoundChannel = snd.play();
It's possible to play a sound file through AS, either by loading it from a folder or import it to flash. It's also possible to play a dynamic tone with flash.media.Sound + writeFloat.
But... is it possible to play a sound file with flash.media.Sound + writeFloat in some way? I want to play a sound file without having to deal with any files except the .swf!
i want to make a single button to play a sound, and if pressed again, stop the sound. and if pressed again, play the sound, and so on... i know it has to be made with a boolean variable, true/false, but i just can't figure out how.
I'm trying to add sound to some buttons. It's just a little metallic 'klink' sound that plays on rollover. I only want the sound to play on the 'Over' state. So I've set up a layer (just for sound) for the button and I add my sound in the 2nd frame (the Over state). Everything is cool. All is good. And the sound plays on rollover. But the sound also plays when I click the button (i.e. it also plays on the "Down" state). Why? The Down state keyframe is completely empty. What's going on here? I've only put the sound in the "Over" keyframe, why does it also play in the "Down" frame (or when I click)?
I want to use a sound loop in my flash movie. The movie has many scenes. And the problem is that when I go to next scene or different scene I hear the sound repeating twice. I mean sound does not stop from first scene and begins from the different scenes.Is there any way to play sound like "stop all sound" option in Flash.
I have to play a sound file and show the progress of the sound file being played. I am using import flash.media.Sound; import flash.media.SoundChannel; But the PROGRESS event gives theprogress of loading of file. I want to know of much of the song has been played and how much more is left.
I am new to actionscript. I have created a script that will play server side sound object and client side mp3 files alternately. Now, I would like to play the client side mp3 first then only play server side sound object alternately. However, I have no idea how can I do so. The following is the code that need to be swapped:
I tried modifying the sound in Action Script but now I do not get any sound on the webpage, only hear the sound in preview on flash editor.It was looping sound on the web page and I did not want to have surfers having to hit the stop button. But I did want it to play just once.[code]
I have a "onRelease function" CODE: btn_4.onRelease = function () { var yTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(slider, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, slider._x, 695 , 0.600000, true); } This works good but I like to add in a "onRelease" play sound, too. How it have to look like and where do I have to place the sound? Because: When I add in a new function "onRelease" both block each other.
I have two files as: A.swf and B.swf.[code]While I am playing B.swf then music is plays perfectly. While I load it to in A.swf then music in not playing.I don't want to change anything in B.swf like new Sound(this). I want actionscript code only for A.swf.
I've got 3 swf files and they are all nested. Here's the structure: [code]The sound clip "m1p1" is loaded in the library of "cc_mod1_shell.swf".This setup works when I just test "cc_mod1_shell.swf". I can hear the sound clip. But, when I test the root level "cc_ shell. swf", the sound does not play. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Why would this._ parent work when I'm just using the 2 files in question, and not when they are nested in another file?.
trying to make a play/pause toggle button in AS3. I'm a newbie but I've finished the site except for this element. my audio file works when i import to the library and it plays it in the preview. its in the same folder as the fla. working in cs3. This is what i've done.new as3 file. code.
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ocean.mp3"); var s:Sound = new Sound(req); s.play();
whats the deal? I get no compiler errors. i'm hitting option+Return on the mac to test the movie. I downloaded some one else's and it worked. i copied theirs into my project and it didn't work. i have a feeling its something to do with classes that i don't know about
I'm working on a game that loops a random sound file everytime the user goes to the menu. When I tried the simulate download in the preview menu, it took a long time to load the first frame (which is a preloader). I found the problem was that in the linkage for the sound files I said "Export on first frame" so i unchecked that box, but then when I tried playing again, the sound wouldn't load.So, I'm wondering, is there a way to play sound files through ActionScript without having to load them on the first frame?
are there any possibilities to play sound in flash (actionscript 2), which is defined by a mathematical function like f(t) = 0.5*sin(2*Math.pi*16/27*440*t) ?
to play only once and then stop but the camera flash to keep looping.The sound is on a separate layer, but whenever I put the 'stop' feature in the ActionScript, it stops the WHOLE THING, so the camera flashes only once.Again, I want the camera flash to repeat, but the click sound to play only once.
I would like to play a sound every time I reach frame 2, but I'm a bit confused with the code. I read some tutorials, but they were about 2.0 and the 3.0 ones were poorly explained.
Let's assume I imported a sound named 'ping.wav'. What do I need to do to play that sound on frame 2?
I have buttons with sound attached in over state and that works just fine, but this means that you are going to hear sounds only when you move cursor over button, how can i make some background sound to play from the moment flash is loaded, even when buttons are inactive, my background image looks like some electrical equipment and and i want to make it sound realistic (sound clip must to be set to loop) and must to start at the moment flash is loaded?
OK, say I have a button that does something, like go to the next frame, is there anyway to have it play a simple sound located in the library without looping?
I have sound playing in my flash file. My index file is a html file which calls the flash file, and when i run the html file, the sound doesn't play. Does anyone know how I can rectify this?
I have the loading audio file at frame one. However, I want to play the audio only at specific frame or frame lable. How do I do that? Below are my codes:
[Code]...
The above plays the sound as soon as the .swf file is loaded. But I want to play at certain point in time, say frame number or frame lable.
the site i'm currently helping out with has an audio clip that gets loaded in through xml, I want this to only play once and then halt, but if the user wanted to click on the volume button it could start on up again without a hassle.
Alright so I'm creating a car game, I have a soundclip in my library called "engine"And I want it to play all the time except when I press the up button. When I press the up button I want my other sound "engine_2" to play when the key is pressed down and when released "engine" should start again.Both sounds should loop all the time when played.I'm a beginner with AS2 so be easy
if sound is playing - dont play sound, else, play sound?
so that the sound effect only plays one at a time. So if holding down SPACEBAR for example, the sound will play and only after the sound finishes, can it loop if SPACEBAR is still pressed.
I want my uzi sound to play when space is pressed and I know how to do that, but I want the sound to play for 2 frames then the same sound should play again and stop the first one so it starts from the beginning when space is pressed down. Otherwise they just overlap eachother and it will sound wierd.And when the key is released the sound that's already beginned should play to it's finnish
not sure what I'm doing wrong here, maybe someone can point me in the right direction. I use the following code to play a sound
[Code]...
so I have the var and the function in the main as, now in a mc, I also have an as3 layer with some mc specific code. If I want to call the beep sound declared in the main AS, I thought I could simply use the beepsoundplay();. Calls access to undefined property.
Since flash player supports 5.1 surround sound, is it possible to send five different ActionScript controlled mono MP3-s to different audio channels in SWF? I'm planning an art project that has a touchscreen with five "Play"-buttons that play sounds in five individual speakers, as part of it. I'm going to use an USB 5.1 sound card.
