I looked over some cool examples of media scripts such as sound manager and other music player plugins for websites. I find that they are running the music file from a .swf file. So as I'm not aware of any website from where I can learn to code this?
View 2 RepliesI want a site to have background music, but when I attach the music to the file it makes it quite large ...3 meg and the site is slow to load. Is there any way of having the music separate from the flash file and still have start stop music buttons?
View 2 RepliesI downloaded a flash template and have modified it to suit our company but there is something that I can't do. When the file loads in the browser, music immediately plays and loops until you click a button to stop the music. On our video page, we have video
that we need to play that has sound in it. How do I get the background music to stop when my video plays without having to go up and stop the music manually. The videos are loaded via an external XML document and there are no buttons in the FLA file to link code to. the website is [URL]
Using Macromedia Flash Professional 8.
I have a website banner made in Flash. I have added a music file to it and Play and Stop buttons. I also have a Replay button to replay the banner animation once it stops.
I have put the music on a separate frame so that it will not play automatically when the banner loads. I have made the Play button direct to the frame the music is located at so that when clicked, it will go to that frame and play the music file.
The problem I am currently having is that if I click the Play button more than once, it will play the music file again on top of the current play-through.
So if I click Play, the music will play. Then if I click it again, the music will play again, but on top of the first instance of the music, so two instances of it will now be playing and it sounds horrible.
I would like to make it so that if you click Play when the music is playing, it will not play the music again until the music has stopped.
I am playing a background on my webpage by using miniswfloopplayer, now I want the music to play continuously throughout the website, currently the music starts all over again when a page loads which is quite obvious. I am looking for a approach where I can avoid the above situation.

View 2 RepliesI was reading about Flex- JavaScript communication via ExternalInterface.But I had a doubt, it said that the javascript code should be written in the HTML file of the application ? Now which is this HTML file ? Is it the index.template.html file per project or the HTML file created per MXML application ?
View 3 RepliesI am having a nightmare using CSS to style HTML within a dynamic textfield in my flash doc. From what i now understand after much trial and error and reading online, CSS doesn't even work properly in flash even for the tags that it does understand (which are few and far between anyway). For some reason my layout is getting completely screwed up in certain scenarios (predominantly when there are images present too) when i hover over links (which are styled in an external CSS file). If i remove the external CSS styling (which only contains the following simple code):
a:link {text-decoration: none;}
a:active {text-decoration: none;}
a:visited {text-decoration: none;}[code]....
Then everything works fine (but no links are underlined as standard or on hover). Does anyone know of any way to style the links without using an external CSS file (all i want to do is have no underline as standard and then underline them on hover). As this is from user input into a text editor I cannot place these links manually on the page in flash as they could be anywhere, I need a way of parsing the HTML and then displaying it accordingly.
just created a slideshow that loops because I want it to continuously play. I added another timeline layer and inserted my music file which is 4:03 minutes long which I set to loop as well. However after it has been playing for about 15-20 seconds it sounds like it is layering another music file on top of the existing one and so on and so forth, so a couple of minutes
View 20 RepliesThe SWF is defaultly about 1 meg. The music file is about 3 megs as well (total 4 megs).Once the SWF has finished loading, I would like the music file to play, and then loop indefinitely.I don't want to embed the music,because that will bloat the load time so much.Streaming seems like the obvious answer, but I am having trouble then with the music starting immediately after the load has finished. Additionally when you are streaming music you can't specify how many times to loop the sound?
View 0 RepliesI'm working on an animation where I have my "dog" fighting the evil vacuum cleaner. I got most of it to work the way I want it to.
1) I have movie clips entitled pepper_mc (where my dog is supposed to be walking), swirl (where a swirly-type symbol is supposed to spin over the dead vacuum's head), and vacuum_mc (where the evil vacuum is supposed to have a swinging arm (called vacuumarm_mc) that I created using the bone tool). When I add them to the stage and test them, the animations within the movie clips don't happen.
2) I have background music that I'd like to stop playing at the end of the animation, but I'm not sure how to do that. (using the stop(); actionscript doesn't help).Where am I going wrong? I'm using Flash Pro CS5.
Here's the file --> Pepper and the Vacuum of DOOM!
When the movies performs the getURL action, I want the music to continue playing, but the getURL function seems to stop the music at frame 152 (where the getURL action is placed), when I wanted the music to continue to frame 257 (the end of the movie). I hope I've explained this clearly

View 7 RepliesI'm trying to load music into a another file using the loadMovie method. This is my script:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("musicContainer",20);
audioStatus = false;
trace(audioStatus);
[Code].....
As you can see, first I created an empty clip. Next step was to create a variable named "audioStatus" to know if the button has been pressed or not. It seems I'm doing something wrong because the movie is not loading the music and it-s not detecting my var.

I'm developing a band site and currently have all the song clips playing and stopping via start/stop buttons. The issue is that all of the songs can be playing at the same time if you don't manually stop the other songs. The idea would be to have a song stop automatically if a user pushed play for another song.This is all the AS I have on the button right now:
Code:
on (release)

I am trying to create a music animator. It will have bars that move up and down do the beat of the music. This is like windows media player where the music animations play. I want it to be verticle bars, where some are in sync with like the base and others are in sync with the tempo. Does anyone know of a tutorial for this? I am trying to emplement it within my website so that whatever music I am playing will auto control the bars and sync.

I have a website that reloads same flash swf on different pages. It has music attached to the swf file. My question is how to make people turn off music on a single page and when they look at other pages, the pages remain 0 volume, and when they turn on the music on a single page, it globally turn on all other swf files music.
View 2 Repliesi am looking to use a fair amount of music in a project that a user has dynamic control over. because file size is an issue i was wondering the best way in which to optimise file size and performance? i have noticed the loadSound command for retrieving it from a server and also considered using a linkage and not exporting in the first frame (if i do this how do i export it afterwards?).

I was wondering if anyone has came up with a way to float html elements, with some content, over .swf without triggering any flash events.
In my case the problem is I have flash map, and drop down menu on top of it.
I simplified this into the following example:

If you mouseover any elements in gray box, you will see that stuff behind it, in a flash file, triggers hover effects.

View 1 RepliesEverything works perfect but i need to change the way the MP3 file is called on. I'm brand new with AS3 and XML but have a PHP background so I attempted to understand the script and have not had any luck. The index.htm file displays a very simple music player which calls on the button_mp3_player SWF. The FLA has a portion of code that calls on an XML file to load a particular song. What I need to do is remove the XML file completely and define the MP3 file name in the index.htm. I assume some AS3 code needs to be altered so that it does not call on the XML and also that the index.htm code needs to be altered to define the MP3.

I have some question, Please check out this two site. [URL] My question is how this is done? Both in the front end and back end. How does the system recognize which music to play when the timeline hit in the front end. And how does the backend compile the DIY music file for the user to download. It just so dynamic.
