When I tried to import music to flash animations I have created, I received error message that: One or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them.
The platform: Mac AA audio file Encoded with iTunes 10.1.2, Quick Time 7.6.6
Is it because of the audio file format that music cannot be imported? If so, how can i convert it to the compatible format?
I have an intro.swf file that is basically a movie with sound that is exported for actionscript but not exported in the first frame. I just stuck it in a movie on my timeline and it works great and the preloader works because it doesn't load the sound before the preloader. I use :
musicSound = new Sound();
musicSound.attachSound("music");
musicSound.start();
to play the sound in intro.swf.
However, now this intro.swf gets loaded into an index.swf and everything works fine and the sound plays as long as I have the sound included in BOTH the intro.swf and the index.swf and the sound is exported on the first frame in the index.swf. I was hoping I could remove the sound entirely from my index.swf since it already loads into the intro but so far
I have been creating mini product movies in Flash using sound recordings, key frames, and tweens. This is the 5th in the series, and just NOW I'm having problems.I had my frame rate set to 30fps with one long sound bite, about 2.5 minutes. Everything looked fine on my end, but when I loaded it into a landing page in IE, everything was out of sync, but only on other people's computers. It still looked fine to me.
I compressed the sound file more, which helped some, but did not aleviate the entire problem. I noticed the frame rate when I did a quick preview (just pressed enter) would fluctuate from the 30 fps all the way to 9 fps.I then cut the sound bite up into 13 segments,shortened the tweens, and reduced the frame rate to 18fps. In development and in preview, it looked fine. However, when I put it into the landing page, the animation was way too fast for the sound and the sound bites looped.
I am trying to load some of my Flash Movies abit faster. I had read somewhere that i should use certain commands to bring the sounds out of the library after the SWF or page is loaded. I think i am suppsed to use Event listeners or call on the sounds somehow?? Does anyone understand what i am saying OR have any tutorials or links to tutorials that i can look at with regards to calling sounds?
View 1 RepliesHow to import sound with AS? Cuz i have tried it and my sound just wount play. Can you explain me where my sound should be and what is the as code for importing cuz i use

Any movie whatsover (i.e. any file in any location on my drive) cannot be published (including test movie via Command-Enter) because I get this error:
"Error creating SWF movie file. Be sure the destination file is not locked or on a locked drive. Also, check that the file name is not too long."
The file name isn't too long, and I am logged in as an administrator on the machine. All folders I have tried to publish to are unlocked and I have read/write priveliges to them. This is a new install of CS4 and has been updated to the very latest version (and it didn't work before the update, not does it work after). This is NOT to do with my specific permissions. This is a clean install of Flash CS4 Professional on a very new Macbook Pro running OS 10.5.7.

View 2 RepliesUsing Actionscript 2, I'm a bit new to all the scripting stuff.I have a loader loading a couple of flash movies like this:loadMovieNum("sound.swf", 1);loadMovieNum("logo.swf", 2);loadMovieNum("mainmenus.swf", 3);Those 3 movies I need to go to the main section of the site. However, I would like the loader to also load the remaining movies needed to further navigate the site, but without displaying them now Kind of like 'caching' the rest of the site, so when the access is needed, there's no load time.
View 9 RepliesI created a simple Flash app that shows a menu on the side with 2 movie choices. Each movie choice is supposed to play a different movie. The whole thing works just fine on my local machine but when I upload to the test server, the movies never start. Near as I can tell the SWF loads and functions fine but the movies dont work... constant loading bar. Of course, I want them to stream in a YouTube-like fashion. I've fought with this for some time, tried .FLV files directly in DW (no joy there either) so I'm stuck. If I replace the movies with images, the SWF functions just fine. Just can't seem to do the movies.

Most of my flash movies have been reasonable sizes, but the one I'm working on now is kind of a beast. It's up against the 16000 frame limit, so I'm looking into ways to chop it up. The problem is that I need a way to keep my background music playing across multiple scenes or movies. Is there a way to start a sound file in one movie, and have it continue when another scene is loaded or when a second movie file is loaded with ActionScript?
View 3 RepliesI have a small FLA file i created myself. its just a simple mp3 player, pause and stop and a volume slider, thats it.I want to import three instances of this into a bigger movie and have them all available to run at the same time.I need them to be all on the screen at one time (same frames) and I need them each to be able to play a different mp3 The user will not be able to decide which mp3, this is all 'hard coded' into the fla file.So how can I do this and get access to each individual movie's controls?
For example when I use the slider on the first player, I only want the volume to change on the first mp3.Would I even have to worry about this in the big file that has all three movies in it?I mean could I just code the volume slider to work right in the mp3 player file and then the bigger movie file will automatically know that when the volume slider is moved, only to affect the voume of the first mp3?if i do it that way, would I have to save out 3 different versions of the mp3 player file. one with '1.mp3', say, hard coded into it, another with '2.mp3' hard coded into it, etc?

2: In short.. I added a 64x64 tiled movie in flash. Read it out in an array, in a.. well original way(just to see if i could get it to work so stop lauging already), and tried to recreate them using a flash class.

I have recently launched a site for a client which includes an interactive flash element on the home page but it takes a long time to load (10-30seconds). I have followed advice from others about keeping image small and link movies rather than embed but still slow, the swf file is about 7.9mb which i thought was ok for the size of flash file. Does anyway else know where I have gone wrong whether it be the embedding or some other area.

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 addionalunctionality/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.
I am working on a Flash cs3/as2 touch screen enabled kiosk presentation. It has a home page .fla file with an empty movie clip (empty_mc) which movie clips load into from a player .fla file. The player .fla file also has an empty movie clip (empty_mc2) which movie clips load into from a slide .fla file. All I need is to simply have background music playing during the entire presentation, but with volume control, play and stop capabilities. I've used the code shown below, but I get overlapping and echo noise. I've placed the code in the player .fla file in the actions layer. Obviously I have placed the code improperly and would like to know the simplest way to achieve the desired outcome which as I stated above, is to have, aside from the intro., continuous background music.
//VolumeControl Play Stop
bgSound = new Sound(soundLoader);
bgSound.loadSound("sound1", true);[code]....
I am having problems with a flash template that I am redesigning. Currently when the movie loads it automatically starts a song in the background. When you click my music navigation link my music page comes up and there are a few links there that I want to add music to. I also need to stop that background music so the song from the link can play.
View 1 RepliesRecently i had a problem with my flash player after installing a Windows Update (not sure if its related). Movies played on sites like YouTube became out of sync and pixelated. Im not exactly sure how to explain this, so i uploaded a few pictures of the issue.
[URL] The sound is normal and the only thing affected if the video. If is there is any sudden movement in the video, it will distort the image. using v10.2 and am on Win7 x64. Viewing the video's in Firefox. I had the same issue on my older computer a while back using Vista x64 in both Firefox and IE. The problem on my older computer was resolved by simply restarting the computer. But this time that didnt work. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash, and restarted multiple times
Ive stumbled upon a few sites that have free sound FX's but the ones I want which I wuld think are the easiest to get I cant find.I want a sound for when someone clicks the right thing, like a under a sec tiriring or something like when you kill a guy in Leauge of Legends or something like that and also one for when you click the wrong thing like an windows warning ut a little different, yet all the sites and SFX I come across are for everything but those.

I am very very new to flash...I created a quick little slide show...in which I want to add to add an mp3 file too...the slide show works as such.. Each frame has a picture and next button, so when I test the movie. The pictures are stopped, I click the next button and it
goes to the next frame......pretty straight forward. How do I add sound? I just want the music to start when I open it, and stop when the slide show is over.
The funny thing is...if I insert music into a file with no buttons and just let it stream (and stop on the last frame) it works great, the music plays...Only now that I have a movie with buttons, it doesn't even start. I have been thumbing around the actions panel, but for the most part I'm lost.
adding a simple sound to a movie with AS? I'd prefer this, since I already have simple "Roll On", and "Roll Out" script in place.
I have imported the sound file. In Properties, under Label, I have named it "tire_squeal". (Also, created a layer within the movie, and dragged the file onto the stage - all done.) Is this necessary when using Actionscript, or not?
The sound file loaded into my Library is named, "tire_screech.wav"
I want the sound to load "stopped", then play OnRollOver, and quit OnRollOut. (See previous AS code in string.)
so i am making a spinner and i want it to be like a see and say toy. How would i go about adding sound so that when the spinner lands on the picture that the sound will play. I have pictures and I have sounds. how would i do this?
