I'm newbie in flash. I have created a button - it looks perfect. I got seperate keyframes for UP, OVER, DOWN and HIT events. The OVER (and only it) has assigned the sound. The problem is flash plays sound (assigned to OVER) for DOWN event (no sound assigned). I have no idea what is wrong, tried everything with this. I am unable to find soultion,
View 2 RepliesI'm developing a web app with PHP and I need to test if a page of a website has background music. As many of you already know, this is the list of the tag (I miss someone?) where the background sound can be inserted in a webpage:[code]While checking if there's background audio because of the presence of the tag bgsound or audio is easy to do, testing if a flash animation has the sound is not so easy (at least for me).I know that I can check if a tag embed has in the src attribute something like sound.mp3 but how can I test if the sound is totally embedded in the flash animation?I searched a lot to find an answer but unfortunately I've not found one.
View 1 RepliesThe flow player will play the audio of a *.flv, but doesn't play the video and I've no idea why. The initial example page using the default flowplayer flv url works fine. When I change the url to my godaddy site, it doesn't work. I'm using Movavi Video Suite 8 to perform the conversion to flash from mp4. I think the metadata is included in the flash file when it converts, but I'm not certain. I used the meta data injector found here: [URL] to inject meta data into the flash files and it still did not work.
Also of note is that the player's progress bar shows the start, current, & end time values of the video, so I think the metadata is there. I've still no clue why this isn't working, though.
I wonder if it's my *.flv file as the player will load the mp4 file it was generated from. I used a premium application called MOVAVI Video Suite to perform the conversion. I don't think this is the case because I can upload the converted *.flv file to youtube and it plays fine.
Also worth noting is that the Flow Player plays audio and not video both when the flv source is pointed to my godaddy site as well as when its pointed to a local folder on my hard drive that contains the player, it's files, the video files, and the example .html page being used to test this.
Possibly something else worth mentioning is that I have not put the flow player files on my godaddy site yet because the video picture isn't showing locally.I have the same issue with the LongTailVideo player.
Here is the html for my test page:

What I try to do is make a RSS reader in flash that plays a sound when the RSS feed is changed. In an older version I reloaded the xml via a little timer, but what I understand about this socketthingy is that it keeps an open connection with the server/feed? Am I correct that this socket parses data (or smth) as soon as the xml changes ? If yes, why dont this work ? (it does after loading, but not if the swf is running and the xml is changed)

i want to make a flash application which will record the sound Or else just grabs the voice input and plays it..!

In my flash game, every time you click a button, it plays a short sound. Almost all of the buttons work - Except for a few random handful. Those couple play the sound twice. I don't know why either - I double checked everything.None of the frames have sound. The buttons that play twice are only set to play once. I didn't do anything different between the ones that worked and the ones that don't work.
View 2 RepliesI have a Flash 8 site that plays a music clip throughout the site. I have a flv video on one of my site's pages and would like to know if there is a way to stop the site's music when the user clicks on the "Play" button of the video and to have the site music start again when the video either ends or the user clicks on stop.
View 1 RepliesWe have 4 buttons, each calls a different swf. Cannot get one swf to unload audio when another is called.Have tried many scripts but none work. Still hear audio of previous swf on top of newly-loaded swf. This was never a problem in AS2 but too late to go back to AS2, must resolve in AS3.I read that this is a bug but everything I have tried does not work. Have been using UILoader to get position accurate x=150, y=40.
For loading have tried List, UILoader, addChild, etc. Don't know which is best to use so it can be unloaded.
sound it only works when placed on timeline. Im pasting the as where im using so that anyone can maybe see a solution. One thing to note, my swf is being loaded by another swf, ok...?

I want my flash file plays one and stops in the end and only plays again if play again button is pressed.How do i do it?
View 1 RepliesI�v build a simple flash projector to offer to my local fire department Essentially they used to in internal audio alarms to warn firefighters when there is an accident, fire, aggression, etcIn the version 1.0 they click several buttons, one to play the alarm sound, otherto announce the vehicle or vehicles that goes out, and a last one that says what is occurring.
The problem they report is that the sounds play immediately when you click in each of the buttons, and even the sound overlaps the other, which makes they click on each button and have to wait for the sound to finish and then click next. All this is normal because I associated the sounds to the buttons. What do I need to do the flash in this order in the version 2 of my projector:
1 The Fireman choose the type of alarm you want to play and click the button corresponding (but do not want the sound to play now) let's imagine that he pressed the button "alarm 1"
2 The Fireman choose (s) vehicles which are going out to the occurrence (but do not want the sound to play now) let's imagine that pressed the button "ABSC01"
3 The Fireman choose the type of occurrence (but do not want the sound to play now) we will imagine that pressed the button "fire"
4 finally the fireman holding down the "PLAY" (the green on on the top of the image) and this Makes the sounds selected to start playing in sequence, liker "Alarm 1" then "ABSC01 "and then" Fire "
Logically speaking I believe that each button must declare a variable associated with every unique sound, and then pressing the button takes the variables and plays them in sequence and without overlapping sounds.
i was looking into if there is anyway to work with sounds using actionscript?Basically im looking for something that
* Plays a sound in the library on loop
* stops that sound
* mute that sound (so it's still playing but cant be heard)
* unmutes that sound
the idea is so i can spread out this in scripts instead of in the frames.
I'm having trouble with sound in Flash. I may have went about coding the wrong way, because most of my codes are on frames.
So, I have these two variables
var outsideDay:Sound = new daysong();
var outsideNight:Sound = new nightsong();
And I want to play these songs on a specific frame. However, the sounds play sporadically, like 50 times at once. I think it's because I have other codes that link to the frames with a Enter_Frame function. How can I get the sounds to loop and not play multiple times at once?
I posted a previous thread on this but i have found the problem but cant fix it!!
i have balls that can be thrown around the screen and when they touch i want them to play a specific sound to those balls.[code]...
I have a movie clip with a sound at the beginning of my project, and when I click a button in another scene it starts playing the voiceover from that clip. I don't have the button linked to that clip.
View 2 Repliesthe sound is place inside a movieclip timeline on the first frame. its about 600 frames long the sound. the main timeline were the movieclip is situated is only 1 frame long. The main timeline is 50 frames long.I thought if the movieclip was not on the frame the sound wouldnt play.
i have an issue with the sound in the game.ive place a soundtrack on the first frame. its a long sound track. over 600 frames long. I place the sound inside a movieclip due to a large size. My issue i have is it sound plays even on the frames the movieclip is not situated on.when i return to the frame. the sound starts to overlap and play twice which is a bit of a mess and a racket.
All my sounds work however, the play button only seems to play my sound when I click on the pause or stop button first! Plus, my stop button acts like a pause button, it doesn't start the song from the beginning once it stops. [code]...

i'm habing abit of problem with this code, its supposed to play pause and stop, the problem being that when i press stop then play it only plays from the last pause and not the beggining how to get it to play from the start after the stop button is pressed

I've assigned a sound to the button over frame and a different one to the button down frame. When i over over the button the button over sound plays. When I then click the button, the button over sound plays AND the the sound I put in the button down frame plays.

View 5 RepliesOne of our external developers has created a minigame in Flash CS5 which we are embedding in our container by loading the SWF. The minigame's document class (Icegame) should and does implement a specific interface DreambearMinigame.However, it appears that when that game is published some kind of preloader is generated, since when loading the game in the container and casting loader.content to DreambearMinigame we get the error cannot convert Icegame__Preloader__@blabla to DreambearMinigame
View 1 RepliesI am trying to load some of my Flash Movies abit faster. I had read somewhere that i should use certain commands to bring the sounds out of the library after the SWF or page is loaded. I think i am suppsed to use Event listeners or call on the sounds somehow?? Does anyone understand what i am saying OR have any tutorials or links to tutorials that i can look at with regards to calling sounds?

Viewing it in either Gecko, Webkit or Presto, an unintentional vertical space occurs after the object, before the second div [URL]. Removing whitespace from between tags, or explicitly setting margin and padding does not help.
I have a chunk of Code which Flash confirms is without errors, but when I either compile the program or click the AutoFormat Button, Flash puts a curly bracket at the end of it and then has the audacity to complain that there are "extra Characters found at the end of the programm."I have to have this running to go online on Sunday the very latest.[code]
View 3 RepliesI have a static, UTF-8 encoded XML document that gets loaded by a custom movie clip class into an array and then items from the array are read and displayed in a dynamic text field that is attached to the movie clip,depending on which one is rolled over.Everything works perfectly except that an ampersand displays as & apostrophes display as ' and quotes display as ", even if I use the special character inside the XML.Higher level character codes actually display properly, so character codes for circle shaped bullets,registered trade mark symbol, Greek characters, etc, work! But a blessed ampersand does not.Setting the dynamic text field to either read as HTML or not read as HTML makes no difference.
Using CDATA tags in the XML makes no difference.In fact,when I use CDATA tags and enclose text containing a special character code, Flash goes the extra step of converting the ampersand in the special character code to &!! So" becomes "Using & just gets converted to &.So Flash's XML parser is parsing the & to an ampersand,which Flash's text parser then converts to &. WHY? And how do I stop it?
I found the function below to clean out the unwanted characters,and it works,but it seems a ridulous length to go to.And I probably have to extend it to accomodate whatever other characters don't work in Flash, but I don't know what those might be until I encounter them. Also,the function works whether I use a special character in the XML or not. ie, if I put an actual "&" into the XML, this function will display "&" and if I put & into the XML,it will still display as "&".
i am making an animation, i have about 8 scenes. for some reason it starts playing the sound from the next scene in the middle of the current scene. why?? i checked movie explorer and the sound is in another scene. does that sound like a flash bug, or just me? it is a big file, could that be it.
