Flash Piano - How To Get Each Instance Of Button To Play Unique Sound
Jun 15, 2009
I'm using flash CS4. I am trying to make a piano. It will be the header of a web page when the mouse rolls over a key the appropriate note plays- ideally the key would appear to be pressed as well. I have a jpg of a piano keyboard imported as a graphic. On a new layer I have made a button whos over state has a blank keyframe. I have imported that button to the stage and given the instance a name. I have attached a sound to the over keyframe (middle C).
I have dropped a second instance of the button onto the stage and given it a unique name. When I attach the next sound (D pitch) to the over state it changes the original middle C. How can I get each instance of a button to play a unique sound? I have tried using a new layer for each button but that didnt work. Do I have to make a brand new button for each note? I have reduced my design to include only 16 notes (I originally wanted 32 but I thought that may take too long to download)---
I placed a movie clip instance inside a button, and I want this movie clip to play when the button is released. I'm using this code on the frame containing the button:
function playMovie(event:MouseEvent) { this.theButton.theMC.gotoAndPlay(3);
A graphic of a piano keyboard with hot spots on each key when the user clicks two things happen.The note plays from a sound file a small graphic of the note displays where the note is on the staff and give the user the name. It stays until they move the mouse but the not only sounds once per click.
I have some sounds in my library that I want to play in a soundchannel, but how? This is what I have so far:
var music:Sound = new Sound();var channel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();var sTransform:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform();var sound:SoundFile1 = new SoundFile1(); // Note: SoundFile1 is a class; in it is my soundfile in the library// music.load(sound); ??channel = music.play();
Imagine this scenario:The application is a Game, where the enemy characters can 'attack' the player, and each time they attack the 'Attack.mp3 file is played from the libraryNow my question is, if I have to create a new instance of the MP3 file in the memory, each time playing it, or can i use a 'master' Sound instance ,that I can play multiple times simultaneously.(similarly I can use one 'enemy.jpg' bitmapdata, that I can then copy to the screen with copyPixels, and only having it in the memory just once )IE if i have 50 'Enemy' characters running around the game
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've googled and googled but got no where or outdated tutorials. Anyone know how to make it so I can toggle audio with buttons using ActionScript 3 on Flash?
i'm designing a website in flash8... now i have created some buttons, and i want that when i click on the button stars will fly from them and there will be a sound... i have already created the animation of the stars seperatly and it's in the library, i have also the sound file.... i just can't remember how to put everything together.... when i'll press on the button the stars will be flying from the button and the sound will play?
I created a button on the stage and made it a movie clip and called it's instance name "play_btn" then i made a document class "main.as" and a second class "play button.as". How is to access the instance name in the play button.as file like this...
public class login_page extends MovieClip { public function login_page() { play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onPlayDown); } public function onPlayDown(evt:MouseEvent):void { trace("Test"); }}
And then I want to call the function in the main.as.. but the general problem is that I want to access the instance name "play_btn" in the "playbutton.as" file. I tried to link it to the class but i get this error: 1120: Access of undefined property play_btn.
I have a structure of movieclips, which is something like:
Top Level: My character's collision movieclip, stickman_root
Second Level: On each frame of the top level, the visual part of the character, in a different pose. stickman_stand, stickman_walk, etc
Third level: in each of the poses in the second level, the character itself is built of several smaller movieclips. stickman_head, stickman_torso, stickman_upperarm_l, etc...
So having created this structure, I'd like to be able to use it as a template. I'd like to turn an instance of the toplevel into a new, unique library symbol, and similarly everything under it should also get a new unique symbol, so I can modify those as needed without messing with my template. So that I can take this stickman template, and change the graphics to create someone less stick-ish, while still retaining the skeleton and animations I made. Create unique movieclip tree from an instance?
I'm currently making a TicTacToe game to help build my Flash experience and I've come across an issue. I'll try and explain what everything is doing in my code thus far. I know it's a lot of code for a forum post, but I don't want to leave anything out as someone may have a really nice way to work with this.
Code: this will be switched to a user defined value (1 or 2), depending on which person the user decides should go first. currently it is set up for the 2nd player to go first
new _global.whosTurn(); _global.whosTurn = 2;
//this sets all cells DISABLED so, at the beginning of the game, any cell is selectable cell1_isUsed = false; cell2_isUsed = false;[code].....
I encountered a rather irritating problem yesterday. I wrote a class. The class has got 1 variable of the type :Array. its a public variable.On the scene i have 2 movieclips which are connected to my class through its linkage in the library.My problem is that even though the instance-variable (the array) is supposed to be unique for the instance only it gets overwritten for every new instance i create.for example. if i assign the first instance's array 2 values (1, 1)and the do the same with the second but here i change the values to (2,2) then when i check my first instance it has got the same values as the second instance...that is (2,2). [code]
i created a button on the stage and made it a movie clip and called it's instance name "play_btn" then i made a document class "main.as" and a second class "play button.as".so what i want to do but can't figure out how is to access the instance name in the play button.as file like this...
public class login_page extends MovieClip { public function login_page() { play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onPlayDown);[code]...
and then i want to call the function in the main.as.. but the general problem is that i want to access the instance name "play_btn" in the "playbutton.as" file...

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?
What I want to do is have one movieclip that has many frames and turn that into a button and then make different instances of the button and have those instances display a certain frame of the underlying movieclip.
I've been trying to make a button to play a sound, I've created the button and have a sound in the library, but can't manage to get the button to play the sound!!! I get this error: 1120: Access of undefined property knock_sound.
I think I need to give the sound an instance name but it says I need to use AC2 to do that!!
after importing the sound to the library, and naming the class sound1, here is the code used its a simple code, and theoretically should work - but for some reason, its not registering the sound as being played.....
When you click the first time on the button, it should start the song, when you click a second time on the button, it should stop the song. how do i make this with actionscript 3?
I have been working on flash in school, and the school upgraded from flash MX to flash CS5, i have then gone to make my project in AS3, however, it is very diffrent from AS2
My problem, is, all i want is a button to play a song from the libray (not from a URL on the internet like the code snippet) and my ICT teachers have no idea how to use AS3. I also need is a play, stop and pause button, and a volume control slider, i CAN do all these on AS2, i infact have it set up (but without a pause button) but, i cannot do this in AS3 and i need it done bady.
How do I play a sound on CLICK or the button's down state? I know how to slap a sound on the timeline but not how to put it specifically to the button and it's down state.
I'm almost done building a full flash site where it navigates by position of timeline.I just need a simple on/off button for a soundloop to loop and play automatically. the on/off button just simply turns it off (toggle is optional). on it doesn't have to resume, just start the pool again.
I think worded the question wrong or posted in the wrong catagory I keep geting error messages with this code in AS2.0
Code: if (key.isDown(key.getCode(81))) { _root.samplesound=new Sound(); _root.samplesound.attachSound("sample1")
[code]....
This is the message fore both pieces Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler Im trying to get the letter "q" to play a linked mp3 in my library When I apply the code to a seperate layer No error messages shows, but no sound plays. When I apply the code to a movie clip/button object, that message shows up!
I have a button that is actually a Movie Clip (so I can animate it). I want this button to play a sound. (But this isn't a sound question.) If I have a list of 20 sounds, and 20 instances of this button mc, how can I make it know which sound is being called for? If it were a normal button, each instance would have its own load- or attach-movie command. But since they're MC's, the invisible button hit is always the same. Is there a way to make it look to the MC's instance name to get which sound to load?
