IDE :: Loading Sound With URLLoader?
Feb 21, 2010
I am loading a sound file with the URLLoader class passed to the URLRequest class, just as one would load any other external content type.
Code:
var loader:URLLoader=new URLLoader;
loader.load(new URLRequest("file.mp3"));
When the loading is complete I would like to pass the data to a Sound Object.
Code:
var mySound:Sound=e.currentTarget.data
The object returned on the complete event is of type flash.net::URLLoader.
Code:
e.currentTarget
How can I turn this URLLoader into a Sound Object?

I am building a simple swf that will load in variables from an asp page using a URLloader and URLRequest. The asp page loads in the current values from a SQL database but these values will change every second. My swf loops every 6 frames and loads the data. How much load this puts on the server? And when the server is busy might this cause a problem with the variables I am reading in?
Does AS3 run all actions on frame 1 before going to frame 2 etc? I don't know if this is the best way but my last variable in the ASP page is called Loaded and I test for it before moving on. My major concern is the load I am putting on the website but is this small? In firefox the status box constantly flickers transferring data from ... and waiting .. but in other browsers you can't see the activity.

does anybody have a good explanation of the as operator? On one hand it seems to me, that it is often better to use as instead of instantiating a new object.But then there are situations, when this operator let's me down. For example when loading a text file in XML format through an URLLoader:
private function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
trace("completeHandler: " + loader.data);[code]...
Why do I have to use a constructor here? Why can't I say var x:XML = loader.data as XML; and save some memory?

I have reviewed my code several times and maybe I am missing something.Basically,I have a separate loader class that I want to communicate to a php file located in the same directory.That php file forms an xml markup within and returns the location of a background image from the database. As you can see from the code, I have event listeners for progress, loaded, and IOerror.This works fine in IE and Chrome. However in FF and Opera, my custom progress bar shows 100%, but the info bar shows "IO Error" (which is kind of a visible trace statement on the swf for informational purposes) and it does not go anywhere. Stuck.
This is the swf's location: [url]....

I am trying to load the output of a php-file into some flash variables and then fill some textfields with those variables. But it seems like even though I have a completehandler it tries to fill the textfields before I get all the data.
Code:
function loadQuestion(){
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("the url to my php script");
request.method = URLRequestMethod.GET;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
Is it wrong of me to have the completeHandler inside the loadQuestion function? And is it wrong of me to assume that because I put the data in the textfields in the completeHandler it should w8 until its finished loading?

I've made a little flash, with AS3, to view the data generated by some program I wrote... The data is in a .csv file and are loaded to the memory with a URLLoader object.
The flash loads well .csv files which can come to almost 50 MB in size... But when I try to load a file with 160 MB, the player just stop working... I run the last flash player version, outside of the browser...
I've heard that the Flash has limitations on the amount of memory it can store... But in another question, they say it has not.
What may be causing the crash? - I don't think it is the code, since it runs smooth for small files...

I'm using URLLoader to load my external SWFs in as a ByteArray before use so I can preload them without the possibility of them playing prematurely. It's been working great so far, but I just ran into an issue. It's not loading question pools for Captivate quizzes. If I use Loader.load() for my quiz it works fine and the question pool loads. If I use URLLoader to get a ByteArray and then use Loader.loadBytes(), I get an error saying that it can't load the question pool. My code is below. If you comment out the urlLoader.load() line and use the loader.load() one instead, it'll work fine. Otherwise, I get an error.
Code:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
addChild(loader);
urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done1);

I have a flash header that was never completed because the guy I hired took people's money and ran. So now I even wonder if what he said could work with my flash header is true or not. But, usually there is always a way to make it work.
I have a flash header that does two important things: 1) Upon entering the site, it loads and plays an audio track 2) Makes an animal noise when you hover over each animal menu item. (not sure if I'm able to give a link to it or not on here. If I able to and someone would like to see it let me know)
I want to know if my flash header can support the following additional functionality/changes:
1) Currently, it loads everytime a page is selected. I only want it to load the one time of entering the site because the audio gets annoying. Set a cookie maybe?
2) But, I do not want to turn the audio off completely because I still want the hover over each menu item sound.
3) Have a link on it to allow them to select to turn on / off the sound completely. It currently has that, but only for the current page. Once you select another page, the audio is back to on.
4) Lastlly, is there a way for it to detect that someone doesn't support flash and to display an html version of it? And can flash create a html version from my fla file?
I don't know much about flash (but am learning) so I'm not sure if I'll be able to do this myself. However, I want to find out if my flash header will even work this way before I invest the time learning it just for these changes. I know it will be pretty deep with script code, but I'm hoping I could find base code already available for these features. Not sure I can afford help now because of being laid off and two different scammers taking advantage of me. So I'm going to try to do myself and see if there is any suggestions/support on here that can help. I have Flash CS4.

When loading a MP3 to a flash.media.Sound object the id3 property gives an error:
SecurityError: Error #2000: No active security context.
Offcourse, like many errors in Flex, the Flex documentation doesn't mention a thing about this, except that it exists...
The MP3 is valid (i've checked it with MediaPlayer and iTunes), the Sound object is in a good state (bytesTotal and bytesLoaded both reflect the correct amount of bytes).

I have an SWF that's 30MB. Sound files (music) make up 25MB, art and other things make up the remaining 5MB.
Would it be possible for me to load the 5MB of necessary art and other things first to allow the user to operate the app, then after that's all loaded and they are operating the app, load the remaining 25MB of sound files in the background?
UPDATE: Loading SWF (or other entities) externally is not an option.

I'm working on improving the media player for my portfolio (www.robin.astedt.name) and I've run into a wall..
The problem I get is that I can play songs and pause them and resume etc, but when I want to select another song and play it I get an error. It works if I initiate the Sound (s) and SoundChannel (sc) variables in the musicPlay(); function but then I can't pause because I need it to be initiated twice that way which ofcourse also gives me an error.
Here's the error I get when I play another song:
Code:
Error: Error #2037: Functions called in incorrect sequence, or earlier call was unsuccessful.

I am trying to load a sound in an mp3 player based on the selection of a user whohas the .swf embedded in a web page. The first time the user makes a selectionthe selection loads with no problem. But if the user stops the sound or lets it playto the end and starts it again, I have to be careful not to callsound.load(URLRequest)again.If the user has chosen another selection to listen to, then load() has to be called again.The question is:how do I unload the sound Obj so another mp3 file can be loaded into it and played?I would think that load(another URLRequest) would overwrite the first and not complain.( a deeper question is where is the sound file stored, by the browser -- in the case ofhtml embed-- or does the Flash plugin maintain its own cache?)

i have a project that i'm working on for school in a multimedia class. everything in the project is essentially done except i need to load a few sounds into the project file all at the same time. as this would be rather unpleasent to listen to, i want them all to be muted when they are loaded (externally or internally, it doeesnt really matter) in. my professor doesn't seems to be very helpful so i decided to come to the source. the program i'm using is flash pro cs5.5 with as3. i think there is some code for controlling the volume, and optimally that is what i would like to use, like "setVolume = 0" and then later when i want the sound(s) to be heard "setVolume = 100", or something along those lines.

I've got an application that has several slides. Each slide has a sound file that goes with it. I created a function on the root timeline that plays the audio sound. Each slide loads one after another and works great. However I have next and previous buttons for each slide. Each button makes the sound channel stop. If I press something too quickly the sound in the sound channel isn't overwritten with the new sound.
So basically I want to know how to remove all sounds from the sound channel so I can load a fresh new sound. Because the stop command only stops the soundchannel until the next sound is loaded and then it starts playing the sound again. It seems like the sound channel is an array of sounds and I don't know how to clear the array before pushing a new sound to it.

I have made a sound sequencer where users can record their own sounds and add them to the sequencer, my problem is that I want to be able to change the sounds during the running of the program. Here is the simplified code for importing and loading a sound in ready to be played.
var BASS:String = "bass.mp3";
function bassURL() {
var bass:Sound=new Sound(new URLRequest(BASS));
}
[Code].....
The reason I put the URLRequest and Sound in a seperate function is because I want to be able to change the var BASS to different mp3's during the program. Obviously when I run this it tells me that it can't find 'bass' because its a var inside another function. How can i get it to refer to 'var bass' inside bassURL?
