I have a mp3 file and I would like to play it from one position and for a certain duration. I have first used the Sound class, the play method where I can specify the start but not the duration. I have looked then at SoundEffect class where you can specify a duration and a startTime. However I do not know how to play it from a AS3 class not from MXML : there is a play method ... but I get no sound!
View 2 RepliesI have currently a music player that uses Sound.position and Sound.duration to use as a playlist. However, the sound is streaming, so then Sound.duration is the number of loaded seconds/miliseconds. Is there a way for me to figure out the duration of a sound without fully loading it? Right now, it really messes up the playhead.

View 1 Replies1. Is there a method of determining the length of a sound file (mp3 primarily); in bytes, elapsed time, before the file is played? (the file could be played against a stop watch and the elapsed time record after the fact, programmatically).
2. Is it possible to set markers and fast forward/rewind to markers corresponding to the file?What I am thinking of is a feature allowing the user to play a file to a point and pause, set a marker, rewind and play to the marker and stop, or fast forward from the beginning and play from the marker, or even play past the marker and rewind to the marker.
Setting a marker would be the easy part: just record the elapsed time when the pause function is called.Getting the sound file to start playing from that point without the previous part played at normal speed;(with volume off) is the essential part of this question.
I was wondering how I can get the full duration of a sound object.I know "sound.length" returns me the loaded length,but is there a way to get the full length so i don't have to wait until i loaded?
View 2 RepliesI'm really new about OOP AS3 programming, seems I can't fully understand how the eventcentral class works.For what I've understood this "system" allows classes to communicate between each other, passing parameters and call functions.So, having this ultra simple class:
Code: Select allpackage
{
import flash.events.*;[code].........
I'd like to execute (in the main class) the function "callthis" in the seconda class.
i have a mp3 player that works perfectly offline but once online the sound.duration seems to be incorrect. The sound.duration = 15' online and 52' offline. And it's the same for each mp3 with an incorrect duration. You can see what i mean here : [URL]

How to access the sound duration outside the onload function....im trying to diaply the duartion of each song in the playlist by loading them one after the other...but am not able to access duartion of all the mp3 files....i want to knw if there is any way to access the sound duration outside the sound.onload function.
View 3 RepliesI am following this tutorial (Url...) on how to build an audio mixer in Flash. I am trying to display the duration/position of one of the sound objects in the mixer (all sounds in the mixer have the same length). I have tried adding this code to the actions under frame label "ready".[code]I have two dynamic text fields named Text01 and Text02 on the main timeline. Yet, nothing populates.
View 2 RepliesI'm building a simple audioplayer. In frame 1 I have:
Code:
mySound = new Sound();
songs = new Array("1.mp3", "2.mp3");
songIndex = 0;
mySound.loadSound(this.songs[songIndex], true);
mySound.start();
var playing = true;
[Code] .....
So, the sound begins to play from the beginning. However the problem is with the timer: when 'stop' is pressed it says 0:00. But, when I press play again it immediately jumps to the time it showed when stop was pushed, e.g. 0:12
can I de-crpypt a streaming file, (assuming that i encrpyting this file on the server side during upload) , in flex before it being processed for playing.
View 1 RepliesI have made a little mashup mixing maps, translate api and flickr. I get the directions from my map and make mp3 files on the fly to play them at the same time but they only play in firefox and for the rest of the browsers I only get my first sound channel with background music. can't figure out why.

I have a set of sound clips to be played one after another in a sequence with couple of time interval inbetween. In my case, its a question - followed by the set of four options.
When I write the below code, all the audop files start together at same time. How can I had time delay inbetween, so that the second clip plays only after the first one is over, and the third one starts playing, only when the second option is over.

I'm doing a by-the-book sound playback in Flex and I can't hear it.
I tried this:
var snd : Sound = new Sound();
snd.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(e : Event) : void
{
snd.play();
[Code].....
But I hear nothing. Launching the same mp3 file in vlc plays it fine. So yes, my speakers are turned on. :)
It's not the loading. I can see it's actually loading those 40k bytes fine, and if I give the wrong URL I do get an IOError. It's as if it's playing but nothing can be heard.
I've developed a neat WindowSWF panel after watching Lee's demonstration video. I got everything I needed to work, but I'm having trouble getting information from my sound files. Basically I have a list of sound objects (.wav format) in my library and I want to find the duration of each file so that I can add them to existing movie clips, then add or remove frames depending on the length of the sound file on the frame. I've been pouring over the jsfl actions libraries and can't find any method to get the duration of a selected sound file.
View 2 RepliesI have a sound clip that I'm loading externally into my flash file. The code I'm using looks like this and is placed in the as layer on the first frame,

var myTransform = new SoundTransform();
var lastPosition:Number = 0;
mySound.load(new URLRequest("introaudio.mp3"));
myChannel = mySound.play();

I am creating a game that has 6 movieclips all on the main time line of the game. Each movie clip has three buttons that when clicked plays, pauses or stops a sound clip.When I press any of the sound clip play buttons that sound starts playing, the problem is when I click any of the other sound clip play buttons those sounds also start to play. Is there a way I can disable the other sound clip buttons while the current sound is playing then enable all of the buttons when the current sound has stopped.
This is the code that creates one of the sound objects
[Code]...
is it possible to make the duration of a movieclip equal the duration of the preloader, i mean is it possible to make something like, the time the preloader needs to reach the 100% = the duration of the movieclip? i'm using AS 3.0 and flash CS4 just in case it helps here is my code for the loader:
Code:
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loadProgress);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
function loadProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {
var percentLoaded:Number = event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal;
[code].....
So I made a few buttons with sounds within them and when I publish it they work just fine. But what I want them to do is;
Say I click a Button.The sound starts playing.Then I click it again, before the sounds done playing.I want it to stop the playing sound and start playing the button I just clicked on, whether it be the same button, or a different one.Right now it just ends up sounds like an echo because it'll play it as many times as you click it.
I'm trying to play a sound using a technique found here (play the sound by sampling raw sound data gathered from the original with extract()), with the difference that the mp3 sound is embedded in the swf, not loaded externally. This is my code:
var soundBytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
var mp3sound:Sound = Sound(new Sound1_design()); // this is the embedded sound
mp3sound.extract(soundBytes, int.MAX_VALUE);
[Code]....
This works, in a way, except that the resulting sound is distorted (it has a kind of a metallic ring).
I am loading small sounds dynamically with the loadSound command. These small sounds are activated with a rollover. see script below. This works ok. however. i want the first sound to keep playing while the rollovers load sound. a bit like playing the piano. This works ok when i import all the sounds into the library and place them on their very own button. however the size of the flash movie increases to 140k. whereas when i load them dynamically the size of the movie is 20k. obviously i want to load dynamically.
But with dynamic loading each sound stops when another sound is rolled over, so that there is only ever one sound playing at once. I need to load the sound into a different level or something, so that the first sound can keep going while the smaller, shorter sounds play over the top. this is my script below. The first sound loads when the movie starts. This is the one i want to keep playing. Then there are the smaller ones with rollovers. does this make any sense? there's actually 13 little sounds.

ok so i have a button that plays an animation for fire when held down. and when realsed goes to and stops and frame one. when it reaches the end of the time line it goes to and plays at frame 10 and goes back to the end of the timeline. I have a sound for the fire animation that plays for the effect. The problem is the sound keeps going untill its over even if the button isnt held down. and when the playhead reaches the end of the timeline it goes to and plays and frame 10 and it replays the sound. if i hold it down it will just keep playing the sound over and over from start to finish. what i want it to do it when i hold the button down i want it to play the sound and when released it stops the sound where ever it is at. I also dont the sound to play again if there is a sound already going to stop it from playing 20 sounds at one time it gets loud and you need asprin after about 5 seconds of that.
View 2 RepliesThe thing I don't understand is how to assign a sound to a soundchannel without playing the sound. All the examples I've seen do this.
Code:
_SoundChannel = _sound.play();
_SoundChannel.stop();
And how can I set a SoundChannel volume to zero before allocating a sound to it?
I am trying to embed some sound controls, and have hit a dead end. I made my play and stop buttons, imported my mp3,, assigned it proper linkage, and inserted this AS2 :
[Code]...
The buttons are named "play_btn" and "stop_btn" respectively. When I export it or preview it, hitting the play button does not do anything.... I hear no sound. What could be up with this?
I noticed many players display audio track duration before loading the sound file, but I cannot figure out how that is done. So how can I get the duration of an mp3 file in Flex without having to load the file in a Sound object ? Think about loading 1000+ files in an application that has to immediately display the duration for each track.
View 2 RepliesWhen I'm building an composite animation, I'd like to specify the components as fractions of the parent, like so:
<s:Sequence id="example" duration="2000">
<s:Fade alphaFrom="0" alphaTo="1" duration="10%"/> <!-- not legal -->
<s:Scale scaleXTo="2" scaleYTo="2"/>
[Code]....
Is there a more declarative way to accomplish this? In the latter case, for instance, can I at least replace the variable slideTime with a direct reference to the parent's duration?
I need to highlight a button's border, so I have created a glow filter like this:
<s:GlowFilter id="GlowFilter1"
color="0xD9D919"
blurX="30" blurY="40"
alpha="1"
/>
The problem is that I don't know to remove the effect. The effect remains in the opction as it was highlighted. Thus, I'd like to set a duration, or something that removes the effect I create.
Im making an animation and in the 3rd scene i have a deer that screams and the sound plays way to early. I had to drag it out way past the frame where it opens its mouth for it to play at the right time.
I have no idea whats wrong this has happened before. I really dont want to have to guess on where to put the sound for everything a character says.
Back to my nightmare project, I've embedded sounds in the project that play based on certain user actions. They play fine for me (PC), but my customer is telling me they don't work for her (Mac).Would there be ANY reason a sound would play on a PC but not a Mac?I've told her to update her Flash player to make sure it's current and to make sure her speakers are on and the volume is up, but no sound.Okay, the REAL reason this isn't working is user error based on everything else I'm told that's happening and not happening, but I need to cover my bases and see if there really may be a reason sounds won't play on a Mac.
