I've been sent a FLA with some voice overs in and need to edit a few words out. The original MP3 files are not available so how I can edit the voice overs in flash without the original mp3 files?

Is it possible to edit the text of an embedded video in Flash? What I mean to say I have embedded one video with Flash video encoder into my fla and the video has some text which now I want to edit as per my choice.
View 1 RepliesI am entirely new into flash. Never ever written even a line of action script.I am triying to develop an image editing tool to be embedded in my webpage.The key features I want in the tool are: I have a fixed background image. The user may chose to over lay text or images over the image, with resizability, etc.My questions are:
1) can I consider Flash with action script and javascript a platform for this?
2) Where do I start.
3) what all do I need to start with.
Is there any way to make a flash sound editing application with Action Script? I'm pretty sure that there is no way around that but i want to make sure . also if not then as a relevant can i use flex to do that . if not then i have to ask what to use to do that . I'm planning to publish that over the web .
View 2 RepliesI am curious about where I can find sound files that I can use in Flash CS4 or some software that may be usefull in creating/editing/converting sound files to .wav or .mp3 for use in Flash. I should probably also note that although I do have Flash CS4 I am very low on funds for software

View 3 RepliesI bought an Easy Flash Template from web-flash-template.com. The template consists of a flash file (fully flash based site), PSD files, image files and a .txt file for all the text. There's no problem editing all the files, except for the .fla file. I am trying to edit it to add a new page, embed a youtube video, etc and I see no layers for each screen. When I look in the ActionScript I see some details there which mentions screen 50 or 95, etc, but I can't edit any of those screens. Either I'm missing the boat thoroughly (which could be ) or this is a poorly designed template.So, my question is, would anyone here who is a little more experienced with flash be willing to let me email them the file to take a quick look at it to give me any pointers?
View 1 Repliesi have inherited a web site with a flash movie (swf file). the source files aren't available ( the fla file, flv file, image files, music files). the flash movie is acceptable to the client except for the last few seconds when the prior owners logo appears. is there any way to use this flash move without displaying the last few seconds?

View 1 RepliesThe server hosting our FMS does not have space to adequately store the media files over time. I have since connected a 500GB external drive to the server. This drive is mapped as the Z drive. I am not exactly sure how I need to edit my application.xml for all http requests to point to this external drive. Below is a small sample of the file. How would I correctly edit this file? Would I just add a line that says <Streams>/;${Z:VOD_DIR}</Streams> ? Do I need to delete either of the below lines?
- <Application>- <StreamManager>- <VirtualDirectory>- <!-- Specifies application specific virtual directory mapping for recorded streams. --> <Streams>/;${VOD_COMMON_DIR}</Streams> <Streams>/;${VOD_DIR}</Streams> </VirtualDirectory> </StreamManager>

View 3 RepliesI have a flash file and I have the dynamic text with the variable name 'Text1' I want to be able to edit this piece of text by linking the flash file to a php file - but I know nothing about php and therefore I don't know what coding to use in flash to link to php. All I need is a basic bit of coding which would be able to put in php so that one bit can be edited so that it will be edited in the swf.
View 1 RepliesI wonder if there is a way to detect if an FLV has sound embedded in it. I have various videos that I am streaming in and some have sound and some don't. Those that don't, I want to hide the volume controls and mute button and (you guessed it) those that do have sound, I want to show the volume controls, etc...
I know that I could make an extra flag in my XML file that describes the videos but I am wondering if there is any fancy pants way of using some sort of built-in, unpublished sound detection within the NetStream or NetStatus Event.
I'm working on a stand-alone application and NOT a web-based application, so I'm trying to do this strictly with AS3, if possible. For example, if I have an XML file that looks like this:
Code:
<profile>
<username>Joe</username>
<password>Smith</password>
</profile>
How do I change the value of the USERNAME attribute via AS3?
I've tried something like this already:
var xmlData:XML();
...
xmlData = XML(event.target.data);
xmlData.profile.username = "Mary";
but when I open the XML file, it's not writing "Mary" in place of "Joe."
I am currently using flash for the first time to create a digital version of a board game for a project. This is the first time I have used actionscript and flash for that matter. I have learned a lot from this website but have finally hit a roadblock.In my game I have trivial pursuit like "pies" that the player gets pieces of as they progress. Once they get all 8 pieces, they win. I have each piece of the pie for all 4 players set as an instance of a movie clip and have their alpha set to 0 at the beginning. So i have 4 instances of each piece of the pie labeled pie0player1, pie1player1, ... , pie7player1, pie0player2, ... , pie7player2, etc.I have tried just running a method from my external Game class actionscript file that would change the alpha of these respective pie piece as the player earns them so that they are visible.My first question is: Is it possible to change the alpha of these movieclips from my external Game class file? Or do I need to make all of these changes within the timeline?followup questions being: If I can edit these values from my class file, what would be the best way to do this? I would like to access the movieclips using something like the following code if possible: [code]Do i need to store these movieclips in a 2d array to access them dynamically like this?
View 4 RepliesI have a simple MP3 file that I am attaching from a library and playing using Sound object.When testing SWF on it's own, it works fine, but I have to embed the SWF into another SWF (container) using loadMovie, AND, the sound not playing??? What can be wrong?
child.swf code:
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
// in the library MP3 is set for export as "voiceoverclip"
[code]....
From the Sound Class information, it says to use the SoundMixer Class to handle embedded Sound Files. I have two sound files embedded, that I have setup in 2 separate layers, starting at frame one in the main timeline. I needed to do this so I could see the wave files, and coordinate text with the waves. I do not want to load these files into the .swf file at runtime using URLRequest. How do I get a handle on those as they exist, to make each controllable by separate volume and mute controls for each sound?
This will be a challenging question, because, "it can't be done" doesn't work for me. I managed to create a way to use an external classfile to control the main timeline, the ROOT timeline, without having to create a sub movie to root. I can use my component to call play(); as though it were in code in a frame. But it isn't, it's in an external classfile. I passed root to the classfile and told the classfile to think of it as a movieclip - that put the handle on it. I tried similar way with root as a Sound, but that isn't detailed enough - I need to get a handle on the frame that contains the embedded sound file. I embedded, attached it, using the properties view for the frame.
I've attached, or whatever you want to call it, these sound files to a frame, and this frame is or should be attached to the layer I've created. So, under the assumption that the ROOT has everything attached to it in some manner (it is after all the foundation for the COM), the stage of the root contains the visual components, so ROOT has to have the layer objects attached to it, which should have the frame objects attached to the layers. I have two layers that each have a .wav file attached to frame one. Somehow Flash keeps track of that - I want to know how Flash does it so I can read what flash reads.
Searching for how to change the volume of sounds, I always get this irritating snd=new Sound(URLRequest), followed by snd.setVolume(val). Oh, fine, but my sound is not an URLRequest, it's an embed.
I've made a lot of random attempts (1) to no avail. How am I supposed to do that instead?
(1) including casting my class to Sound, creating a Sound with the embed class as argument, creating a SoundTransform and setting it to the channel, etc.
Is there any way we can stop the sound embeded in timeline directly?
We have an application that load SWF dynamically. These external SWF are not created by our company and other company has embed the sound in timeline. without use of any actionscript or anything.
Now we need to provide the MUTE option for our user, is there any way We can simply disable all kind of sound in any mode from our ActionScript code.
Is there a way to control the sound of an embedded flv in a flash movie? I haven't seen any tutorials on controlling the sound volume for an embedded video vs. netstream.

View 1 RepliesI am developing a flash web site using ACTIONSCRIPT 3. There is a menu of small icons that, when one of them is clicked, the program loads the correspondent SWF into a loader and then presents it in a "virtual screen" ( a rectangular area ) in the web page. The problem is that some of these child SWFs have an embedded background sound and I DO NOT KNOW how to mute them from the main SWF when a user decides to do so by clicking a "mute" button.
Each SWF embedded sound has its own layer in its timeline and is set as Sync: Event, Repeat:1.
I tried to emded a youtube movie into a flash file, and that all seems to be working:
Code:

So basically the question is: how can I stop streaming sound from keeping on playing even when jumping to another frame?

View 4 RepliesIn Flash MX 2004 Pro. I have embedded the video in which needs to load several external FLV files. These are the problem: In my main file I have a sound object (music) and then load the video when I reduce the volume of the music of the main file to 0 that the louder the sound from FLV videos. The problem is that when the music died down to 0 to mute the sound with FLV videos to 0.How to separate audio from FLV videos from sound of music and how to separately control the volume loaded FLV file?This is the code that I use:

I have a long mp3 file hosted on a standard apache server (30 minutes long so far, but I would like it to work with longer sounds too).I'd like to start playback of this audio within at a specified point. When attempting to use Flash Actionscript 3, my basic tests show that ALL the audio from the start to the position I choose is buffered before playback (Sound.bytesLoaded was my friend here). If I start one second in, it takes about 3 seconds to start playback, 30 seconds in, takes about 25 secondsObviously with a really long mp3, like skipping playback to the middle of a 3-hour audiobook, this isn't going to be practical.Here's the ActionScript 3.0 code I'm using:
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, function():void {
var s:Sound = new Sound();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://example.com/audio.mp3");
