IDE :: Marquee Scroll (Song Title) From XML File In MP3 Player
Jan 3, 2007
So I made some a nifty a MP3 player that grabs songs from an XML file. It displays the song name in the dynamic text field. Unfortunately, I only have very little display space and many of the track names are long. The solution: marquee scroll the text horizonally. The problem: I never marquee scrolled dynamic text and now I am lost.
Here is my main AS:
stop();
playlist = new XML();
playlist.ignoreWhite = true;
playlist.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
[Code] .....
And while this did make the text scroll on the first song, it doesn't work so hot on the second song. It blips back-and-forth between the first and second song name. Advance to a third song and you've got an even bigger blipping mess. I kind of think that this code above isn't the way to go... that it isn't even worth reworking... that I should try something completely new.
I have a list of mp3-songs, when song 1 is clicked it gets streamed, a stop-button appears, if this Btn is clicked, this Btn disappears as it should - but if user forgets to click for stopping sound and clicks song 2, stopBtn 1 remains and the new stopBtn 2 also appears. there should be only one stopBtn, the one next to the song is playing.
I would like to move the stopBtn and I have tried several approaches move; graphics.moveTo; if(stopButton !=null) {removeChild (stopButton)}; I packed the var stopButton:Sprite in the header and so on.
What do I need to put in my code to tell my mp3 player to grab its songs from a folder on my server via an xml doc I outputted from my sql server? (The mp3 player is also on the server).
Here's my code: import flash.events.MouseEvent; import flash.media.Sound;import flash.net.URLRequest; import flash.media.SoundChannel;import fl.events.SliderEvent; var myMusic:Sound = new Sound(); var soundFile:URLRequest = new URLRequest("lpwfte.mp3"); var channel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel(); [Code] .....
I'm new here and relatively new to Flash. I'm attempting to build an mp3 player to add to my website using the "Flash MP3 Player" tutorial. The problem I am having is that the scrolling text displaying the song information is acting all strange. It only scrolls 2 letters over to the left and then 2 letters over to the right and also doesn't fill the entire text box (it leaves a section of empty space on the right side). What I want is for the song info to continuously scroll left to right like a marquee sign while each song is playing.
so I have this mp3 player I made. It won't go to the next song when a song ends sometimes. It will if the song is very short (10ish seconds) but once it gets to the 30 second mark it won't go.If you click on the slider at any point it will get to the next song, if you click the pause play button it will get to the next song.I have only been doing AS3 for a little bit and I am totally baffled by this problem.
I've attached the code as a .txt file, i sorted them into their sepperate files with a header. I hope its ok to read. I can post them differently or post the actual player need be.
I'm trying to make an MP3 player with art and text associated with each of the 4 songs I need included, but I can't figure out how to load more than one song into the player. The first song loads and plays fine, but when I try to load another one of the songs, I'm given this error:
Code: Error: Error #2037: Functions called in incorrect sequence, or earlier call was unsuccessful. at flash.media::Sound/_load() at flash.media::Sound/load() at RealSite_fla::mp3player_mc_6/goGS86()
And here is my code: var req:URLRequest; var sound:Sound = new Sound(); var controller:SoundChannel; var volumeControl:SoundTransform; var soundPaused:Boolean = false; var position:int; function loadSound(event:Event):void [Code] .....
I'm using an old open-source mp3 player (musicplayer.sourceforge.net) on my site because the visual design does not clash with existing colors, etc.The author provides two versions of the player. (ea also has the fla file in case I want to modify it for a different swf) One allows the user to pick from several songs stored in a simple text playlist, and the appropriate album cover is displayed during playback. The other is a "slim" version that is just for playing one song at a time. In the first player,the artist's name (pulled from the playlist) is displayed and then the song title scrolls across while in play. Some additional basic text is stored in an accompanying actionscript 2 file. I have no trouble with this version. The slim version is supposed to do the same thing. However, it continues to marquee text of the player author's name regardless of what I change. I replaced text strings in both the actionscript file and the playlist but the player doesn't seem to extract them.
Im looking for a why to display the current time position of a song playing in an audio player in a dynamic text box. I know the soundChannel. position references the current point of the songs, but I need some conceptual help translating that to a string and 00:00 time format dynamic text box
Im new in flash, and i have a problem in my mp3 player. im using flash cs3. When i click the link to play the song, it plays the song. but when i click another song, it plays the first song. by the way its an XML driven. here's the codes that i've tried
I am create a flash mp3 player. In that I am displaying the song.position(time completed played). The song.position is not setting to zero, when a new song is played. It is continuing with the previous song. For example, if the previous song time is 30 seconds. the song.position is started from zero and comes to 30 seconds. After that song is completed and a again a new song is started, the song.position is starting as 30 seconds and gets increasing. It is not setting to zero at the start of the second song. I even set the song.position=0, when the previous song is completed.
I have problem with the code below. its a flash mp3 player. I need to prevent it from autoplay from the start. but keeps on playing all the tracks after the user click on play. How can i fix this?
Code: import flash.filters.DropShadowFilter; var infostruc:Array = []; var xmlData:XML = new XML();
I have built an MP3 player using XML and this works fine. But I want this MP3 player to load a random song from the XML list everytime it runs.
I have this code: var my_songs:XMLList; var my_total:Number; var my_sound:Sound; var my_channel:SoundChannel; var current_song:Number = 0; [Code] .....
But it produces the error - Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. at flashPlayer_fla::MainTimeline/playSong() at flashPlayer_fla::MainTimeline/processXML() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/flash.events:EventDispatcher::dispatchEventFunctio n() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at flash.net::URLLoader/flash.net:URLLoader::onComplete()
I have also tried to trace the problem by putting trace(my_songs[mySong].@URL) in the playSong() function but this doesn't do anything.
At the moment, I am attempting to make a music player that will play a specific song of my choosing. I am stuck at the part where you can pause the sound, and then play it in the same place. I have tried many things such as using the timer utilities. Right now, when I pause it, it stops, and when I press play, it plays from the beginning. stop(); var channel:SoundChannel; var soundCheck:Boolean = true; var song:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("song.mp3")); channel = song.play(); [Code] .....
I downloaded player from [URL].. but I don't know why what the problem it had with with playlist. I had a playlist in xml file with songs. When i deleted the mp3 from the server, it is still playing. and when i changed the mp3 files it is still playing the original files. I don't know where these files were saved. I thought it was saved in my browser cache and i cleared it but it didn't work. I thought it was cached in my server, but in my localserver , i had the same problem.
So, again i downloaded the player, and this time it played different song, that i put. I have a hypothesis. Does flash player (swf object) absorb mp3 files?? i don't think so but how come player is playing the mp3 that has been changed or deleted? if it was in server cache then how long will it take to clear the cache and play new file. However, i don't remember coding something like 'cache'
I have a flash website that uses an XML player to play the artist's songs. The player works great. Now, I need a specific button in the flash document to call and play a specific song title from the XML list. The button I tried and that is showed in the flash code has an instance name of "santaBaby", calling a function I named "sampleSong1"Here's my XML playlist:
I don't really use Flash anymore but have been approached by a client to work on a simple-function mp3 player with play, pause, prev, and next song buttons for their website. I'm using [URL] and wanted to learn how to create next and previous song buttons. Here is my code:
I am making flash CS4-based music player with ActionScript 3. When I host the player on my site, e.g. [URL], and play an mp3 on the server of my site, e.g.[URL], it works well.
When I link to an mp3 of another site, e.g. [URL], in my local machine, it also works. However, when I host the music player in my site [URL], and play an mp3 of [URL], then it can't be played.
I'm having some trouble with the code below. the flash player has a default volume slider, but I want to use the jQuery slider to change the volume. the volume value(nr) is changing while I move the slider, but the volume of the song doesn't.
I am trying to make a scrolling banner like the html <marquee> tag that loads text from a .txt file. Here is what I have so far:
Frame1
Code: var formatObj = new TextFormat(); formatObj.size = 15; formatObj.color = 0; formatObj.font = "Comic Sans MS";
[code].....
For some reason it only works by using the stop(); command. The problem is that this causes the animation not to automatically start when placed into an html page. The result I want is for the text to automatically begin to scroll.
I'm creating a new look for the xspf player: [URL]The playlist highlights the current song being played. I'd like to change the color but can't find where that option is listed in the .flv file, or in the actionscript file.
I am writing a mp3 player and having some issue getting the song length before the entire song has been loaded - which messes with my position indicator, as it needs to know the track length. I thought I could get the length from an ID3 tag, problem is ID3.TLEN returns undefined, though if I right click the track and show properties, the summary tab shows song duration, bitrate, etc... how I can retrieve the song length before the entire thing has been downloaded?
is it possible to change the icon and the title in the title bar? are there any opensource or low cost ways (prehaps software with a education licence) to change the apperance of the projector window.. like for example itunes, breaks out of windows xp standard UI
I can't figure out why I am not able to make this work here is an example of what I am doing.I am importing an AS file that plays a spectrum and the song I have. Here is the code.
[code] zoeyPic_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addMC); function addMC(event:MouseEvent):void
I'am making a advanced mp3 player arund this tutorial: [URL] and i want the users of the player to see how long they have listen or how long time back of the song. i have the AS i what to use but i cant connect them. becuase the tutorial i used does not make a sound objekt (MUSIC)
how can i load large image? i used a Zoomify for solve this problem but there are another problem that i don't like to use it. can i do it in as3? like loading image title to title?
I have this text file text.txt and it has a variable in it named song1 with the url of a song file. In flash, I set up this actionscript:
onClipEvent (load) { loadVariables("text.txt", "_root"); var my_sound:Sound = new Sound(); my_sound.loadSound(song1,false); }
the problem is that I get an UNDEFINED message for the variable song1. But, if I put it in for the variable of dynamic text, the text will show up in the exported flash. I suspect it has something to do with where the variable is being exported to.
on frame 1, but they don't seem to work. I'm going to be putting this project on a CD and the client wants to make sure it will open centered on the user's screen, which has not been the case so far. It seems to open at different spots on different computers. They also want the title bar changed from "Adobe Flash Player 10" to their own title.
