IDE :: Flash Hiccupping When Playing Sounds?
May 4, 2010
I'm working on a game in Flash, and everything's going along great, until I start trying to play sound effects. The minute I start trying to play a sound, the whole app seems to "hiccup", frames get dropped, and things generally get ugly for a little bit. I'm loading sounds by copying them into my Flash CS3 library, exporting them for ActionScript with a Base Class of flash.media.Sound. I'm playing them through a class that looks a little something like this...
Code:
public class SoundPlayer {
private var _mySound:Sound;
public function SoundPlayer() {
_mySound = new ExampleGame.SoundFromLibrary();
} public function playSound() {
_mySound.play();
}}
This all seems pretty straightforward, so I can't figure out why Flash is complaining when it first tries to play the sound. The sound itself is a 40k. mp3 file that lasts about 2 seconds. Not the shortest sound in the world, but I'm sure I've heard larger sounds in games.

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

i seem to be posting a lot at the moment but i am trying to get my Flash Skills up to date, hope im not annoying anyone too much. Basically i have a small project where pressing a button will trigger a sound, So when i click 'Button1' it plays the sound assigned to 'Button1', I have done this like the following.
[Code]...
Eventually i am going to have 20 different sounds, i know i need to probably assign each sound to its own individual sound channel. i tried manipulating the for statement to say something like var [i]Channel = new SoundChannel; in the hope that it would assign a number next to the SoundChannel thus making it unique,

I would like to make a small player where two sounds* can be compared.
- PLAY and CHANGE buttons
- On pressing PLAY button, two sounds (Sound-A and Sound-B for example) should play simultaneously (at the same time).
- While those two sounds play, Sound-B should be MUTED and Sound-A should be hear.
- On pressing CHANGE button, the situation changes: Sound-A is muted and Sound-B can be hear. And vice-versa.
*two sounds: both songs are the same, but one of them is remastered

The free version over at [URL] displays sound in their online demo, but when I download the Fla. and preview it out of CS4 everything works but there are no sounds playing when I flip. SoundOn - true has been set, and I cant work out why it isn't working. No settings have been changed apart from soundon. I have tried with their older version 2.14 and that works fine.

There are 8 letters in the menu. Each letter provides a linkwhen clicked and a sound when rolled over. The letters will NOTAPPEAR on stage until their corresponding sound is completedloaded. I did this to avoid distortion during playback. The soundbit are pretty small as well. Anyway, the sounds are still distorted during playback and Idon't know why. They are all MP3. HELP PLEASE!! Here's the scriptfor one of the eight letters (movieclips) only to limit size you'llhave to look through:
public function Index() {
var D:MovieClip = new dMC();
D.x = 100;

Working on a project with multiple sounds (all contained in different MCs) played by different key board events. Most of it works, but when I try to use simultaneous 2 button combinations to call upon a different sound, all 3 sounds play at once. The 3 sounds are as follows: the sound associated with the first button, the sound associated with the second button, and the sound associated with the 2 button combo. I've made several different true/false statements to override different events and states, but they don't affect the playing of the MCs. I've also tried using attachSound but I don't like the results I'm getting from that either.
How can I stop the first 2 sounds from being played, so only the 3rd sound can be heard?

Inspired by Andre michelle, I`m building a tone matrix in AS3.I managed to create the matrix and generate the different sounds. They don´t sound that good, but I´m getting there One big problem I have is when more than one dot is set to play, it sounds just horrible. I googled a lot and found the additive synthesis method but don´t have a clue how to apply it to as3.anybody out there knows how to play multiple sounds together? any hint?

I've got 2 different movieclips, one named playScreen and one named gameOverScreen. I've got a function in playScreen that plays a gunshot everytime I press the left mouse button, but when I do removeChild on playScreen and addChild on gameOverScreen, the gunshot sound still plays when I press the left mouse button.

I have an animated flash site with lots of small mp3s placed directly on frames to match the animations.URL...Placing sounds on the frames added to the overall file size but was fine till I tried to create a sound off/on button - it seems that to manipulate ALL sounds they need to be placed into a movieclip.After followind a Kenny Bellows sound tutorial I placed all the little mp3's in an external file externalSoundObjects.swf.[code]I can place the mp3's back on the animation's timeline if anyone knows how I can get a sound on/off button to stop ALL sounds (incl. in child.swf's).Otherwise if anyone knows how to get the external sounds working I think I can then create a sound on/off myself

I put my music player to one domain and music files to the other one (i.e.:[URL]. As the player's setup is via xml file I just set there to look for that .mp3s with given url. I thought I need to put some crossdomain.xml to the domain with mp3s but meanwhile my music player doesn't need it and loads all the music from other server and plays.. So, do I need some policy file or so as I thought, or maybe my thoughts are outdated?

I have three embedded video clips that are inside of movieClips. They I have buttons that take you to a framelabel where those movieClips are located. Each movieClip containing each movie are on separate frames. (See attached image)
When I click on any of the buttons that take me to any videoClips other than the first one, make the audio from the previous embedded Video on the timeline in front of the one I went to , start to play.
I have SoundMixer.stopAll();
on everybutton before I tell it to go anywhere. what to do to only get audio from the video clip in that section of the timeline to play.

I'm trying to make buttons for my website that have sounds playing on them during the over states. But when you move the mouse off the button, the sound keeps playing. Run that mouse everywhere, the sounds are all playing, it's chaos. How do I fix a button so that the sound stops playing when the mouse moves off?

I followed the mp3player tutorial (part 3) from [URL] and got it working fine. Only problem is that the setVolume I'm trying to use with my music is affecting all my other sounds - button sounds and background sound. I'm aware of the createEmptyMovieClip/attachSound approach and got it working on my other sounds. But Lee's tutorial-mp3player is using a slight different technique, and so my normal approach doesn't quite work.

I want to synchronize sounds perfectly to do a kind of Audio Mixer, using different sounds. [URL] does it perfectly, I've been researching and researching and I just don't know how to do it! How does [URL] synchonize audio so perfectly? you can even change sounds and the new ones will come on time! How do I do that? Is it just Action Script? or something else?

I have a film with 4 scenes in it: Here's a link to the film and as you can see the film does not play the music the second time because of the StopAllSounds function which is probably the wrong code to use. The first scene is just a button with 1 frame, a stop action and a music clip. The second scene is the film. The third scene is the credits fourth scene is a Play again button. I have a Stop all Sounds action on the fourth scene because if I do not use it and I press the Play Again button, the music from the first song keeps playing but also the music from the film starts up again so it starts to play twice. What I want to know is, how do I get the music to stop at the end of the film but start up again once I hit Play Again?
I am using Flash CS3 if that helps and using Actionscript2.

ask:i want to create an audio sequence.there are 8 predefined sound-starting-points in the timeline.for each starting-point, the user can select wich sound is played (dropdown menu).when the user made his choice for all the 8 bars.actionscript should gather this information and create a fluid sequence of these 8 sounds.then there will be a "play" button available for the user to start the sequence.the sounds don't have to be synced to a button or so.there is time for actionscript to put the sequence together.problem:when i put two sounds directly one after another in a movieclip, there is no delay between the sounds, which is exactly what i want, but i can not control which sound is played through actionscript.when i use actionscript, there is a delay between the sounds.here is what i tried with as.this is placed in the frame where sound2 should start
if (_global.Sound2 == "Piano" {
var SoundA:Sound = new Sound ();
SoundA.attachSound("Piano.mp3");

I am using Soundbooth to record some sounds. I'm trying to save them as either a MP3 or WAV,but no matter bitrate I use for either file type, I get an error when I try to import it into Flash. I have the newest QT installed from the wormy fruit vendor, does not make a difference. I can save it as an .asnd and import it just fine, but that file type is huge.The files that give me the error open just fine by themselves in WMP

I have a main swf which has sound on/off buttons. It has many SWF's which are loaded into different placeholders at different time. All of them have different sounds in them. In addition to that there is a music loop going on in the background.Now, this perticular swf lets call it Father will be placed in some swf later on. What I'm trying to do right now is when the sound off button is pressed turn off all the sounds permanently so the child swf's and their sounds stop too.I have found a way in AS2 :
global = new Sound( ) //no movie clip target path.
and add the following code to your off button.
on(release){
global.setVolume(0); //mutes all sound
}[code]....
which ofcourse does not work for AS3. So how can I stop all sounds permanently in AS3? Secondly what if I have one sound (my background loop) which I want to keep going on.

i want to have the music always playing and the ability to mute different parts. It is for a project where you click on different people and they come to life to play music. a stop and play would not have them in snyc. I have not been using action script long
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
my_sound.load(new URLRequest("triumphant.mp3" ) );
function setMute(vol){
var sTransform:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform(0);

I'm quite new to actionscript 3, but have been playing with some code to generate beeping sounds in flash. It's quite fun, however, I am trying to find a way to space the beeps out for example, having a beep play for one second, followed by a one second break, before another beep plays.
Code:
import flash.media.Sound;
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();

My project calls for a single swf that, sent a filename variable through the page in which it is embedded, will load a mp3 file and play it on demand. Whole process is called streaming. I got that down cold. But visualization! My client tells me that he wants visualization, like in Windows Media Player! Of course, I said, you can't expect something that graphically appealing, out of Flash. But I still must relate some kind of visual aspect to the sound imported, updated only via script.
In fact, I was told by this needy consumer that the little sound-listening console at Flashkit would be a perfect result. Either a bunch of bars, or a windows-media-player-esque wave scope. That's what I need, and I have no idea where it start with getting Flash to detect different qualities of the sound.
The only thing I could imagine would be user-set volume, balance, etc. but that would result in a box being resized by anything the user changes, so it's out of the question.

I have some strange problem while using more than one sound that I want control.
Code:
var myMusic:Sound = new Sound();
myMusic.attachSound("music1");
myMusic.start(0, 999);
myMusic.setVolume(50);
[code]....
When I try to reduce sound volume of 1 sound, volume of all sounds is beeing reduced?!The same situation is when I use tween comands like: this.myMusic.volumeTo(5, 1, "linear");
