My movie is five about minutes long with audio and an offscreen timeline move clip containing action script to control other movie clips or play the root directory. After about a minute or so, movie clips get out-of-synch with the audio, apparently its getting bogged down. My swf file doesn't seem that big, about 2.2MB and my move clips aren't that complex, although up to three levels deep.

View 1 RepliesI have a video that consists of an imported FLV to thetimeline so I could put a new background behind the alpha-channeledbackground of the movie and put other thingsin front of it. When Iexport as SWF it plays just great. However, the download is akiller over DSL speed connection, so I thought I'd try making thefinished product into an FLV. To do that I have to export as QTmovie first, then from QT Pro export to FLV. It loads much quicker,however the movie's video and audio get out of synch by the firstminute (it's 4 1/2 minutes long), and by the end it looks terrible.
View 2 RepliesI have swfs for every letter of the alphabet containing a story and a song. And one swf as a loader for each letter as requested from a menu. These are then published into html.
Every file is working as normal individually and when loaded in the loader swf.
But when viewed in a browser the audio karaoke for the letter I is out of synch. and only the letter I. this happens locally and online.
The I.swf file individually and when opened in loader swf work fine. Its only happening when viewed with a browser (IE and Firefox)
all the audio are mp3 loaded from external files. But Ie also tried placing the audio in the swf timeline but the same problem occurred.
A co-worker thought it might be the file size or bit-rate of the mp3 but thats not the case because all the audio files are the same compression and bitrate The file size of the audio or the swf are not the largest in the collection either. So this rules out swf/mp3 file size and or mp3 settings.[FONT="] Im really stumped by this, because every other letter works fine, and as far as I can see they are all the same settings.
I'm using narrator clips (imported mp3 files) that I place every so often, set to Stream (as opposed to Event). This works fine, as usual.That is, UNTIL I use a "Next" or "Back" button I've implemented to go to the next section of the program. I'm using a simple gotoAndPlay("Slide"+myCurrentSlide); where "Slide" is the first part of the frame label, and myCurrentSlide is a number that increments as the movie progresses.
When the user clicks the Next button, the flash movie successfully moves ahead to the proper frame on the timeline, but the audio is out of synch, (comes in half way through a sentence, even though the frame label is placed in between mp3 files on the timeline.
I'm working in Flash CS3. My animation is about a minute long, with a single audio track that plays from beginning to end. The sound quality is noticably better when I set the synching to Event, but unless I set it to Stream the sound falls behind the animation. Is there any way to maintain proper synchronization with the Event setting? Also: will the lag be consistent on different machines and players? I thought about adjusting the timing of the animation so that it matches the Event-set sound in playback, but that's such a clunky a solution it seems likely to cause other problems.
View 2 RepliesI have a 5 minute flash movie that has great sound synchronization with the motion when I export as a SWF. However, when I export as a Quicktime file (.mov), sometimes the sound is ahead of the image. Is there a setting I can tweak during Export to remedy this? (so far I have tried to save the Video as "H.264" as well as "Animation". And for sound I have had no luck with the setting of "None" or "Apple Lossless."

View 3 RepliesI am having issues trying to get a simple button to make the playhead jump to a certain frame when pressed. I have the main timeline and then have a movieclip which has buttons inside of it and actionscript applied in the movieclips timeline. Is this a no? That is should all actions go on the main timeline? If this is so then does anyone know why I keep getting an error that it can't find the instance named button inside the movieclip?
portfolioButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_ DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(100);
}
I'm generating movieclips based off of an xml file. The images load fine but I can't figure out how to target them for onPress actions.

I've found the solutions for most of my many problems with as 3 but this one is really baffling The frame actions of child-movieclips of dynamically added movieclips are not firing! If I have movieclip, say "mc", which contains a child-movieclip "submc" which has a timeline animation in it with "stop();" on the last frame and I add "mc" on the stage via addChild() the stop action inside the sub movieclip will not work.
All the frame actions inside "mc" itself work. Everything works if I drag the movieclip onto the stage manually. Right now the only way I can see to stop a movieclip on its last frame is by using the ENTER_FRAME event, but that's awfully cumbersome.
Is there any tool can help me rip audio from SWF file and ave it in MP3 format separately in another folder, and extract audio stream to MP3, AAC, M4A, WAV, WMA, AC3, MP2 formats?
View 3 RepliesSo I'm currently charged with making a karaoke-style app which displays lyrics on-screen synced with an audio track. I'd prefer not to have one massive timeline for each track so I've cut the audio into sections (verses & choruses) and put each one on the timeline of separate MovieClips so I can sync the lyrics manually.
I store each MC in an array in my MainPlayer class, which listens for an Event dispatched from the last frame of each MC, removes it and then adds the next one and runs its play() method. There's an audible gap in between which at first thought might be due to using .mp3s so I switched to .wavs and it's still there.
I have created a bouncing logo (similar to a screensaver). The MC loops and I have added some motion trail using dupe mc's, however when the main MC loops back to the start, the motion trail seems to go out of synch and fall behind in its positioning. I have attached the FLA to show you what I mean and you can see the AS that I have used.

View 1 RepliesI have 2 movieClips loading images using XML files.
I need to set the position on this movieclips from the parent depending on their width.
The problem is that the parent have to wait that both children have loaded the images before to proceed.
I have a to movies on the timeline. And they are playing at different speeds depending on the processor available on the computer, so the get out of synch with each other, is there a way to lock the rate at which the movie symbols animate so that they never get out of synch?

View 3 RepliesI got four buttons that pull up images in a slide show. I want the fourth button to first pull the image in place and THEN shut down the movie clip. I thought this would be easy, but no. Unfortunately I can´t attach the fla-file on this forum. You could take a look at this:
on (press) {
_root.xnew = _root.mask2._x+(-2-1)*458.5/2;
}
That´s the code for the last/fourth button, it pulls the fourth image in place. So that´s in order.I added this below in the same script:
on (rollOut) {
_root.unloadMovie();
}
It works in a sense. The movie falls into place when I click the button and the movie quits when I move the cursor. But it also means you might shut down the slide show involuntary when you move the cursor going for any of the other buttons.
When I try to open the actions window via F9 (yes on a timeframe with existing code), the timeline colapses, but no actions window. I have to double click on the header of the timeline at the very bottom of the screen to bring it back. When I try F9 again (or even Window-Actions from the top menu), the timeline vanishes again, but no actions window comes up.

View 1 RepliesI want to test mc animations without having to hit F12 to see if they work correctly. For instance, if I have an animation movieclip and then I make another movieclip and drop that aforementioned movieclip within, and animate [via the timeline or library preview] I'm unable to see on-the-fly what my animation looks like... it only shows the top most nest, unless I F12 it.
So if I have a character blinking eyes (one movieclip) and then I create another movie clip of the face, and put that aforementioned movieclip within, the preview animation within the library does not show how it'll be viewed when F12'n it.,,,, it'd be great to see your animations on the fly.

I have one top layer called Actions for writing actionscript 3 for loading external .swf files. I have one more layer which needs script to stop an image file once it reaches to the middle of the stage from top right of the stage. Where shall I write stop code for this image. On the same image layer? or on existing Actions layer which is loading external swf files or new layer for Actions.

View 3 RepliesI have a series of frames one the timeline. Each frame has a graphic and a mouse click leads to the next frame. Think Myst.
[Code]...
When the middle frame is returned to, clicks no longer change anything. I believe that the actions of the 'left' frame are replacing the one's in the middle frame so then it is told to gotoAndStop to itself.
I'd like to know if that is indeed what is happening and how I can make it stop.
I'm interested in learning how to create a "3d" object that a user can interact with using their mouse. I've taken 60+ pictures of a camera rotating by 5 degree increments and I'm trying to put together something similar to what Verizon has on their website for phones - Where your mouse rolls over an object and rotates it.
I've seen this done with Java as well, but I'm interested in how flash does it.
I am working on a Flash file and some of the buttons in the document are not working.When I test the movie the hand cursor appears when I hover over the buttons they don't change colour (as specified in the over state) and the actions don't work. Not sure what is going on here as I created other buttons in the same document the same way and they work fine.
