Embedding External Music Player Into Flash Project Possible?
May 28, 2009
I am trying to figure out if it's possible to embed an external flash music player (in this case sound cloud) to play some of my own tracks in my flash site. I don't want to create my own player as the sound cloud player is really nice and also has stats.
I have been browsing the web for HOURS looking for help with this subject. I created a flash based website and I need to load my myspace and snocap music player into my flash project. Both players are flash based....I'm certain there is some form of actionscript I can use I just don't know what it is and I am getting frustrated! [url]...
I am trying to embed a video file into my flash project and I want to to play till the end and jump to a different frame in the timeline. I tried to emport the video into flash and it says that the file is not supported. Can I not do it or do I need to convert the mpeg file into some sort of fla file?
How to embed a YouTube video file in particular place of my Flash project, should I do this in action panel or in final html file. Here is exactly what I'd like to do: On this website [URL] under 'Film' panel I have some movie samples, and after clicking buttons on right side I'd like to play embedded YouTube clips instead of flv.samples uploaded to my ftp. as it takes too long for customers to download them.
I'm creating a project in flex builder but it's not using the flex framework, it's just pure actionscript.
At the moment I have some bitmap resources embedded for drawing things, but I'd like a little animation and thought I could create swf animations for them in flash and use the [Embed()] thing to embed them in the actionscript project.
This works perfectly well for me, however I'm a little concerned about efficiency and how well this approach will scale when my project gets larger.
Does anyone know if there are any efficiency implications to embedding maybe 20 or 30 swf files, or do they get efficiently integrated into the main swf file? Most of the animations are really simple and I could probably redo them in actionscript if needed but it's a lot easier just to draw them in flash and embed them.
The Flash IDE is capable of embedding many types of uncompressed sound files, including wav, and offers optional compression when publishing.However,the [Embed] tag, only seems to allow embedding of mp3 files.Is it truly impossible to embed an uncompressed wav file,or am I missing some magic, undocumented mimeType?I was hoping for something like:
...but I get no transcoder registered for mimeType 'audio/wav'.It's possible to embed wav or other format as an octet-stream and parse at runtime,but that's pretty heavy handed I think. I'm surprised that even though the Flash IDE can embed uncompressed sound data,[Embed] cannot, given that the swf spec can contain uncompressed sound data.
I'm playing a song and syncing up some visual changes with that song. The issue is that in order for the song to play when I preview my changes to the animation, I have to start playing my flash project from frame 0. This becomes a problem when I am trying to sync to things that occur later in the song. For example, if I'm trying to sync something at frame 300 then I have to re-play the entire animation from frame 0 in order to hear the song at frame 300 and beyond.
Is there any way to get the song to play, starting from the correct position, regardless of where I start running my animation while developing? I could hack something up in action script to move the play head and play the song if it currently isn't being played but I'd rather not go down that route as there must be a simple solution to this problem.
I'm creating a website for a local band and in this site is an animated banner with a music player incorporated on it. The banner has been made in Flash using AS2.I'm having a bit of a problem at the moment figuring out a way to get my 'Next' and 'Previous' buttons working, so that once they are clicked the user can toggle through different songs, and be able to play and stop each song as they require.
i need a flash player (to embed in a html file) that can play external files mp3 through xml and just a simple play and pause buttons... i've been searching in google but it just shows up players with a big playlists and too much buttons for my work
Anyone have any idea about how works the player ReverbNation? When I'm browsing the website, the player don't stop. It's still playing the song without pause o cut. And nor have frame/iframes.
I currently have an HTML website but add some music.The specific type of music player I want looks a lot like this:[URL]It seems that it is flash based.how I can find the proper code and steps in adding this to my current HTML based website? Is it even possible since my site is not a flash site?I adore this music player but I'm not sure how it would work and where I can find the proper information on either downloading it or coding it into my website.
Im trying to create a flash music player much like the one at [URL].. but I cant seem to get it to load the swf files that are the songs and im stumped as to why. Ill post my player .fla and .txt file playlist along with my test swf song if anyone
Basically what I'm looking to do is build a music player in flash and embed it into an HTML page. Now the trick is, I need the player to stay present when a user clicks thru different areas of the site. (I.E. different html pages) However I do not want the flash to reload each time they go to a different page. Is there a way to have the Flash sit on top of HTML pages and not refresh when a user goes to a different page, or an alternative would be for when the next page loads, the music player knows where it left off and starts from its ending point on the page before. Building the site in iFrames or any frames will not be an option. The solution I was looking at was to set the page up like the music player was a transparent promotion ad like you see on so many pages these days and see if I could just keep it present when clicking from page to page. This doesnt seem to work.
Alright so I'm making a website for my friends band, and they want to have a music player to play their MP3's. One of the things I'm concerned about though, is the security of the MP3 files. Their albums are on iTunes to buy, so I'm looking for what the best option to have the MP3s be played but not be able to be downloaded and saved.The best thing I can think of is embedding the MP3's inside a Flash music player, but that would be more work than it's worth it seems.
I am fairly new to actionscript 3, and coding in general, and I am trying to build a music application with a user account system, using which each different user can access their own music files.
I have found many tutorials online on how to create music players and playlists, user login systems, but nothing that combines these into one application.
I'm all very new to Flash! I'm a Designer. I recently out sourced a flash project and now my client needs it updating. My project consists of a music mixing desk. You press a button and video pops up. The buttons are in the stage. When pressed, this triggers a movie clip which loads a FLV player. SIMPLE! ([URL] - to see the site in action!) I have a simple flash gallery [URL]. I have put the SWF, image folder and XML in the root. I have tried embedding the SWF gallery into my Flash Project by importing it into the library and dragging it to where video content usually lives (FLV player). It doesn't work. I've tried other techniques (loadMovie etc). But I'm a bit fuzzy on these methods.
I'm trying to make a simple music player with only one button for Play & Pause the music. What I have now is a MovieClip with:
1st Keyframe: active state for play Button 2nd Keyframe: active state for pause button 3rd Keyframe: hover state for play button 4th Keyframe: hover state for pause button
The script works OK, and play and pause the music without problems as expected.
The problem comes after the second click in the play/pause button when the alternance between two states becomes chaotic. The button never returns to the play state although the music was paused.
This is the code:
/**** Objects and Vars ****/ var AutoPlay:Boolean = false; var isPlaying:Boolean = false;
I have just created a Flash movie with a .flv file in flash cs4 when playing the .swf file we can see the controls of the player, when I use the html code the player controls are missing.[code]...
I am making flash CS4-based music player with ActionScript 3. When I host the player on my site, e.g. [URL], and play an mp3 on the server of my site, e.g.[URL], it works well.
When I link to an mp3 of another site, e.g. [URL], in my local machine, it also works. However, when I host the music player in my site [URL], and play an mp3 of [URL], then it can't be played.
I have got three screenshots below of Flash-based audio players on various websites that draw a waveform of the clip it is going to play and moves along while it is playing and also allowing the user to click on a point on the audio file and it jumps to that point.I have very little Flash knowledge but is this easy to achieve? I would like to just show the Flash file an mp3 and it draws the waveform. I understand this could be quite intensive on CPU so would there be a way of caching the waveform data so it doesn't redraw each time the file is loaded?
Inside my /test folder/music_player/ have have a file called mini_player.swf. If I play it without embedding it anywhere, like this: [URL].. everything is OK. But when I add it into my index page: [URL].. the song doesn't start.
I have a site that includes a Flash music player integrated into the layout. I want users to be able to navigate around the site without interrupting the music. I've done plenty of research and thinking and the following are the options I came up with (keeping in mind I want to be as SEO friendly as possible).
AJAX: I set up a version that changes the main content div to whatever nav link they click, thereby not interrupting the Flash player. I set it up in the proper search-engine-friendly manner with direct links and JQuery/Ajax functions. If someone goes to site.com/ and clicks the Contact nav link, it loads what's in the main content div on site.com/contact.php into the main content div and changes the URL bar to site.com/#Contact. The same goes for if they go to site.com/contact.php and click About in the nav, it loads the About content and changes the URL bar to site.com/contact.php#About. Obviously this opens up a whole new can of worms with AJAX and hash navigation/history issues, and I would end up with people possibly linking to things like site.com/contact.php#About (which I think looks terrible and can't be too great for SEO). Store the Flash player vars somewhere and reload them with the page: I'm not sure how to go about this, but I thought about keeping my regular navigation without AJAX and have it so when a user clicks a nav link, before it changes pages it stores the Flash player vars (current song and song position) somewhere, then loads them into Flash when the new page loads. Something with an iframe? Good alternative to a Flash player that will work for this type of application?
how to create a custom player that would stream a list of youtube videos along with soundcloud, and MP3 similar to the one on [url]....I know that this might seem like quite a general question but any direction on how to accomplish this and whether it should be done using flash and Youtube API, and sound cloud API or whether it should be done with some sort of flash audio ripping way.
I am working on this one project that has a couple of movieclips (already placed on stage) which have a custom class set to export via the Library. Each of those custom classes loads an external SWF using URLRequest().
Is it possible (or, what is the best way) to preload the whole project first, including the external SWFs?
I have been trying to embed a font into a project I am working and its just not happening. I am having 2 problems first I am trying to embed a font that I do not have installed on my machine (Helvetica Neue Bold), I do have a copy of the otf file though. As far as I know what I have tried should work however when I run the swf I only get Times New Roman. From the enumerated fonts I can see the font has embedded but it just wont show. Secondly if I replace the Helvetia font with one I do have on my machine (Arial for example) the text displays with the correct font but if I then set embedFonts = true the text disappears.
