If i create timeline slideshow with tweensbetween the pictures, how do I add music so that it ends when the pictures end?I read that audio can come out of sync??What if i use another program to create the swf like after effects that exports with audio? and import, would it lose sync then?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a music animator. It will have bars that move up and down do the beat of the music. This is like windows media player where the music animations play. I want it to be verticle bars, where some are in sync with like the base and others are in sync with the tempo. Does anyone know of a tutorial for this? I am trying to emplement it within my website so that whatever music I am playing will auto control the bars and sync.
View 5 RepliesI've run into a bit of a problem using Adobe's CS3 flash program in terms of lip syncing... I can place the sound files in the timeline at whichever point I like and so forth, but I have no way to play them in such a way where I can adequately make lip syncs. It's hard to explain, but in flash MX I would merely click the timeline, drag the cursor along it, and it would play the sounds as it did the frames, one piece at a time. That way I could tell where the consonants were and therefore where to change my characters' lips. This is not the same as simply hitting "enter" and letting the sound play in its entirety.
View 4 RepliesI have two different .wav loops. One is just the tune, and one is the beat. And when they play together right on each other in sync, it sounds great.I have a button on the stage. I want it so that the tune is playing by itself at first, but when hovering over the button, the beat comes in. And when hovering off the button, the beat disappears. The problem is, I don't know how to keep them in sync. The beat and tune get all off when I make it so that on hover it plays the beat.

View 3 RepliesIs there a way to sync a netstream flv to the main timeline? I want the animation on layer 1 to play in sync with the netstream object on layer 2, that's why. netstream.time only provides seconds so I would lose a lot of frames of the animation. And adding a cue point for every frame would be a bit too much.
View 1 RepliesThere are all kinds of tutorials on FLVPlayback, streaming video from a URL, etc., but nothing I can find on how to make it play nice with the rest of the flash animation in my .swf. I assume this is a matter of simple actionscript, but my ignorance is profound.
So . . . I've got a flash animation that leads into a gotoAndPlay button, which references the frame where my video starts. The video, streaming from my url, plays fine, but if it takes a moment to buffer, the main timeline in my .swf just continues on through the frames I've created for the length of the video. Since my intention is to have the video finish and loop back to the intro. animation, ending with the play button displaying again, what happens is that it loops before the video is done playing, leaving the audio still streaming but the viewer staring at the play button. In other words, if there is no lag time for buffering, the number of frames before it loops is enough for the whole video. If it lags for buffering, it cuts off part of my video, prematurely looping to the intro.
Is there a way to sync the two playheads, so to speak, so that the .swf doesn't continue on when the video is paused?

I'm busy working on a schoolproject with a classmate of mine. What we're trying to do here is creating a digital agenda that's up to date.Sort of like Google Agenda, where time is synched with how the agenda is viewed. For example it's 9 o'clock and so does the agenda shows.I can't seem to think how this can work. It only has to be a prototype, but it still has to show how it works and that it is able to work.
View 2 RepliesI am building a flash movie that will have a image of a building that changes according to the time of day. Which variables to use to tell it when to go to the specific frame the new time of day image is.
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
myTime = new Date();
nSeconds = myTime.getSeconds();
nMinutes = myTime.getMinutes();
nHours = myTime.getHours();
[Code] .....
I've managed to get it to switch if I set it to just a number by just adding:
Code:
if (nHours>=1) {
_root.day.gotoandPlay("day")
} else {
_root.day.gotoandPlay("night")
How exactly can I tell it to go according to 7am-8pm and 8pm-7am? Once I figure this part out I'll be able to start adding in more images and detailed times of day, and possibly integrate weather etc in the future.
Is it possible to add 5 movieClip in the main timeline, and add for each movieClip a Sound object at frame 5, so that when I play the main timeline, all sound are played simultaneously. Because if I store all Sound object in array, and I do for example (see attach code). That's correct ? Because the play method of Sound class have may latency.
View 1 RepliesI have a long timeline (5000+ frames) with cartoon animation and streaming dialogue sound on it. I've run into the dreaded audio sync problem. I found many discussions, peaking around 2005, but no solutions for this problem. I have a track of silence to ensure frame-dropping even between lines of dialogue. Prior to around 2000 frames the error is not noticeable.
My testing shows that playback is off by 2 frames per 1000 at 24fps. So at frame 10,000 the audio is out of sync with the graphics by 20 frames, nearly a second. This is predictable and reproducible on a variety of PCs and an iMac. I'm publishing to Flash 8 + AS2, but publishing to Flash 9 or Flash 10 don't make any difference at all.
I don't want to split this into multiple SWFs. Scenes don't help. Putting things into multiple movieclips would complicate my controls and our workflow. Just shifting the audio on the timeline is preferable to those solutions, but it makes maintenance difficult.
Flash CS4, I have an f4v vid on one layer and another f4v vid on a second layer. the films do not overlap on the timeline. I have a button to goto the layer with the second f4v. All works fine however when I go to the second fv4 the first one continues to play which i obviously need to stop.

View 1 Repliesi have a music track when i playback seems to end on frame 1400 but visually looks like it ends on frame 1565 so wanted to test the sound to know when to bring in elements of my animation but i can't find a way to play the music when it is near the end. i keep having to listen from the very start which is a terrible waste of time not to mention making me very sick of the song.
also i noticed when i test my movie the music sounds pretty awful except in normal playback when i guess it is not so heavily compressed. can someone suggest what kind of compression setting i should choose for the mp3 file or is it impossible to change once imported and just testing rather than exporting?
I've got my head around bones now, which isn't too bad once you get used to it. I have ten minutes of dialog which I have created mouth movements for in Lipsync MX, these are imported as a swf and then placed within my character's Head MovieClip.
Problem is, IK insists on using MovieClips instead of graphics. This means that the lip sync doesn't stay in touch with the main timeline - it only stays in sync until the main timeline is paused or jumps to a different point.
Is there an established method which allows you to embed a lip sync symbol within part of an armature and ensure it keeps pace with the main timeline, or am I going to have to code it somehow?
I have made an animation. I have a layer where I put sounds that execute on certain frames. No script are involved. When I play the movie inside Flash, everything looks good and sounds are syncing. When I make a preview of the movie, some of the sounds are out of sync. I have no idea why, it's the first time I get this kind of problem. All sounds are set to event, but I have tried with stream as well and get the same result.
View 1 RepliesI have a fairly complex animation movie clip within my main timeline in a Flash file. When you click a button, it plays the movie clip, then goes back out to the main timeline. The first time the movie clip runs, it plays choppy and slow, but if I play it two or more times, it plays correctly (smoothly). Is there some actionscript I need to preload the movie clip, or some other solution to the first-run slowness?
View 2 RepliesBecause the player optimizes framerate, antialiasing etc dependent on the performance capabilities of the platform upon which it is running, it was nearly impossible to ensure animation syncronization w/ audio. If the audio were on the timeline you could set sync params to stream, but if the audio is loaded programically forget it .. well until AS3 ..The following code throttles the player framerate to lock step the animation to the audio .. not perfect but the principal works ..
View 1 RepliesAny programs out there that will automatically lip sync your animations for Flash that are available for OS X. I've found a few out there, but they're for Windows. If not, does anyone have a simple trick to make it less time consuming? I used to mess around in Flash but it's been ages. I remember essentially making each character a movie? Or was it making the mouth a movie? It ended up being that on the timeline you would just press a button and the right mouth would come up. I bet that sounds mental. Just keep in mind my Flash knowledge is super limited.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on an animation where some guys sings and in order to make that look good, i need some good lip syncing. Since this is not short clips, but a whole song on 2-3 minutes, it's very hard for me to make the lip sync perfect because I have to replay from the beginning in order to hear the music. So question one is: Are there a way that I can play the movie in the middle and still hear the music? And so the second question is that I can barely see the sound waves in the Music layer, even though there's lots of music. Here's a picture of how big the sound waves are: And that's in the middle of the song! The problem is not that the music is too low, because it's quite high. So question number two is: Are there a way that I can make the soundwaves bigger in the music layer without affecting the music itself?
View 1 RepliesI have an animation that I am exporting as either a .wav or .mov file then editing in different software but when I import the new file it is out of sync. That sounds confusing so I will explain. The project is a cartoon and a temp dialogue track was created before animation started. Then that temp track was used to animate over and do lip synching. Recently, actors have re-recorded the original temp dialogue track. So, I need to export the original dialogue track out of Flash, use an editor, in this case Final Cut Pro, and replace the dialogue then export that as an audio file and bring it back into Flash.
But it is always out of sync. I have even exported a .wav file from Flash then immediately re-imported it and put it on the timeline and it is already out of sync. And it is the exact same audio! I don't even know how that could be possible. Surely if you export a wav from Flash and then re-import it, it should be exactly the same.
I have a Flash website that moves from page to page by jumping to various frames in the timeline. Clicking on a button causes a jump to a specific frame. It is necessary to have stops in several frames. I'm trying to run an mp3 player in the background. The player is running on it's own layer. It works when I launch the page and when I go from page to page until I hit a frame with a stop at which point, the player stops. How can I prevent this?
View 14 RepliesI have a movieclip on my main timeline. Inside of the movie clip are a few goodies which load in a sound clip. I'm using this code to play the sound:
Code:
// create sound object
loop = new Sound(this);
loop.attachSound("muzak");
[Code]....
This works great, until the main timeline is navigated backwards. For example I have web pages on frames 146,147,148, 149, etc... The menu links go to anyone of the given frames/pages. If I navigate so that the timeline is advancing, the muzak keeps playing. However, if I'm on frame 150 and use a menu button which takes us back to 147 (or anything before 150 on the timeline), the sound quits.
I just want my loop to keep playing regardless of the timeline stopping and starting.
View 3 RepliesWe are creating a 30-track mixing desk to demonstrate our percussion instruments. Take a look at www.bellpercmixer.com. As you can probably hear, the audio is not properly syncing up.
The files should be exactly the same length (8 seconds) but they are mp3s so I don't know if the compression messes the length up as I know it adds the gap between the loop? More than likely, it is my lack of action script skill that has caused this problem... e.g. does each track need to be on a separate layer with a sync-track type thing? Here is an example of the script:

I'm sure I'm missing somethin simple; but I have spent hours looking and trying ways to do the following. I have a movie clip A (which is manually set to frame 1 or 2 or 3) and I have a movie clip B that is played when a timer is triggered. I want to move clip A down a bit during the first half of clip B and then back up bit by bit to its original location in the second half. Along the way I want to change the frame showing in clip A. For the first sixth of clip B I want clip A at frame 1, For the second sixth of clip B I want clip A at frame 2. I know the length of clip B. So I can hard code tests for when to do things if I know what frame number clip B is in.

I am using Flash CS3 on a PC. I am trying to export an animation to quicktime (Export > Export movie) and have some problem regarding the sound. The animation contains actionscript 2.0loads external swf contains streaming soundsplay other sounds via actionscript. 4 scenes. When publishing the animation, it works fine, but when exporting it to .mov, the audio goes faster than the video.
Export setting:
Video:Compression type: H.264Frame Rate: CurrentKeyFrames: 4
Sound:Compressor: 24-bit integerRate: 48.000KhzSize: 16BitUse: Stereo
To be honest, I tried many other compression types and frame rates and keyframes, but nothing seem to work.
I tried:
- importing the external swfs into the original animation
- creating a streaming silence from frame 1 for continuous sound
- capturing the animation using CamStudio, but it's not smooth enough
