Actionscript 3 :: Playing Sound Files One After Another In Flex AIR Code?
Jan 22, 2011
I have a set of sound clips to be played one after another in a sequence with couple of time interval inbetween. In my case, its a question - followed by the set of four options.
When I write the below code, all the audop files start together at same time. How can I had time delay inbetween, so that the second clip plays only after the first one is over, and the third one starts playing, only when the second option is over.
I've created an audio player with actionscript 3 which plays one of 55 different sounds, depending on a variable set from which button a user clicks on. It works fine for the first 1 or 2 plays, but after that the sound begins to double-up, or even triple-up. I'm using the code below./First I declare a few variables:
var sound:Sound; var controller:SoundChannel; var pausePos:Number = 0; var audioReset:Boolean = false; var playerObject:Object = new Object();//
The sound functions are placed within another function so that it can be called again once a new button is selected:
function audiofunc() {
//if the user is selecting a second audio file, it runs this "audioReset function to try to clear the EventListeners[code]....
audiofunc(); I'm assuming that somehow an EventListener isn't getting removed, so it's causing a few versions of the audio file to play at once. If I trace the value of pausePos, it starts to appear in multiples (the same number, but 2, 3 or 4 times) after a few plays of the different audio files.
Say I recorded and imported sound files of my voice saying "Two", "Four", "Equals", and "Plus"Would it be possible to have Flash on click string together those sound files like a string so that the user would hear:
I was thinking that it may be possible to create a primitive, yet usable actionscript based text to speech system for Flash movies (One that is platform independent).
Is it possible to right a series of actionscript commands that would play a collection of certain sound files based on what word or words the user has entered?
For example:
If the user types "Red Pen"
Can actionscript tear apart those two words and play sound files "Arr", "ee", "Dee", "Pee", "ee" and "EN"?
If it is possible, and if someone could help me out on it, then I'll start figuring out what phonetic sounds I'll need to record and program, and see if I can't build a simple text to speech program for flash movies.I have no immediate commercial application for it, and I don't plan on one.So if I can pull it off it'll be free to everyone, source code and all. Of course, it may be in my voice, but it shouldn't be hard to take what I plan to do and use it as a template for anyone else's voice recordings.
I have a mp3 file and I would like to play it from one position and for a certain duration. I have first used the Sound class, the play method where I can specify the start but not the duration. I have looked then at SoundEffect class where you can specify a duration and a startTime. However I do not know how to play it from a AS3 class not from MXML : there is a play method ... but I get no sound!
can I de-crpypt a streaming file, (assuming that i encrpyting this file on the server side during upload) , in flex before it being processed for playing.
I have made a little mashup mixing maps, translate api and flickr. I get the directions from my map and make mp3 files on the fly to play them at the same time but they only play in firefox and for the rest of the browsers I only get my first sound channel with background music. can't figure out why.
I'm doing a by-the-book sound playback in Flex and I can't hear it.
I tried this:
var snd : Sound = new Sound(); snd.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(e : Event) : void { snd.play();
[Code].....
But I hear nothing. Launching the same mp3 file in vlc plays it fine. So yes, my speakers are turned on. :)
It's not the loading. I can see it's actually loading those 40k bytes fine, and if I give the wrong URL I do get an IOError. It's as if it's playing but nothing can be heard.
i am looking for a flash/flex component that plays movies that are not .flv but .swf with controllers such as fast forward, stop, play and a timeline.I have a flv player which does the same but some movies I don't want to play bitmap movies but vector for quality reasons ( as movieclips )
For past couple of days i have been trying to make the .nsv streaming files to work in my flex framework. when i call it the data starts getting downloaded but i figured it out that the video object is unable to play this . I tried this for Shoutcast TV streams where i got lots of .nsv file formats.
So i just want to ask Whether somebody has tried to play the .nsv streams from shoutcast into flex.
I have a sound clip that I'm loading externally into my flash file. The code I'm using looks like this and is placed in the as layer on the first frame,
var mySound:Sound = new Sound(); var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel(); var myTransform = new SoundTransform(); var lastPosition:Number = 0; mySound.load(new URLRequest("introaudio.mp3")); myChannel = mySound.play(); [Code]....
I am creating a game that has 6 movieclips all on the main time line of the game. Each movie clip has three buttons that when clicked plays, pauses or stops a sound clip.When I press any of the sound clip play buttons that sound starts playing, the problem is when I click any of the other sound clip play buttons those sounds also start to play. Is there a way I can disable the other sound clip buttons while the current sound is playing then enable all of the buttons when the current sound has stopped.
This is the code that creates one of the sound objects
I'm currently working on a Java/Flex project and I'm looking for a way to generate some parts of my Actionscript code from my Java files. One of the goal is to generate the AS valueObjects from the JAVA transferObject as well as some AS code to access the serverside function asynchronous.And other important point is that I want to be independent of some IDE. The code generation should run from Maven or Ant and take the Java source code as input.I looked a little bit around and found stuff like SpringROO, Groovy-GRAM, AST in eclipse,..
So I made a few buttons with sounds within them and when I publish it they work just fine. But what I want them to do is;
Say I click a Button.The sound starts playing.Then I click it again, before the sounds done playing.I want it to stop the playing sound and start playing the button I just clicked on, whether it be the same button, or a different one.Right now it just ends up sounds like an echo because it'll play it as many times as you click it.
I am using Flex Builder 3, working on a PC. Everything was working as expected throughout my first day of code updates, but on day 2 Flex started behaving badly.The problem started when I removed a component, and then got an error that it couldn't find the specified component in some accompanying AS3 code. No problem, I updated the reference so it wouldn't look for the old missing component (a form item). When I compiled the project in debugger to check my work, it failed when it got to that part, and gave an error that it couldn't find the component I'd removed. However, my code had fixed the problem, and the error was referencing a line of code that wasn't there any more. I proceeded to change the file around greatly, and even resorted to creating a new file, changing the name of it, and then recompiling it. I did a clean compile as well, rebooted my machine, restarted Flex, but every time it gives an error referencing the bit of code that isn't even there any more. It's as if it's loading a cached project each time (both in debugger and run mode).
For reference, here's the error I'm getting: ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property Winter Cost not found on views.PopupUsage and there is no default value.Well, the file "PopupUsage.mxml" doesn't even exist any more and is not referenced in my project at all, but it's still being referenced by Flex when I compile the files.What can I do to make Flex move on and look at my code?
I'm trying to play a sound using a technique found here (play the sound by sampling raw sound data gathered from the original with extract()), with the difference that the mp3 sound is embedded in the swf, not loaded externally. This is my code:
var soundBytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray(); var mp3sound:Sound = Sound(new Sound1_design()); // this is the embedded sound mp3sound.extract(soundBytes, int.MAX_VALUE);
[Code]....
This works, in a way, except that the resulting sound is distorted (it has a kind of a metallic ring).
I am loading small sounds dynamically with the loadSound command. These small sounds are activated with a rollover. see script below. This works ok. however. i want the first sound to keep playing while the rollovers load sound. a bit like playing the piano. This works ok when i import all the sounds into the library and place them on their very own button. however the size of the flash movie increases to 140k. whereas when i load them dynamically the size of the movie is 20k. obviously i want to load dynamically.
But with dynamic loading each sound stops when another sound is rolled over, so that there is only ever one sound playing at once. I need to load the sound into a different level or something, so that the first sound can keep going while the smaller, shorter sounds play over the top. this is my script below. The first sound loads when the movie starts. This is the one i want to keep playing. Then there are the smaller ones with rollovers. does this make any sense? there's actually 13 little sounds.
ok so i have a button that plays an animation for fire when held down. and when realsed goes to and stops and frame one. when it reaches the end of the time line it goes to and plays at frame 10 and goes back to the end of the timeline. I have a sound for the fire animation that plays for the effect. The problem is the sound keeps going untill its over even if the button isnt held down. and when the playhead reaches the end of the timeline it goes to and plays and frame 10 and it replays the sound. if i hold it down it will just keep playing the sound over and over from start to finish. what i want it to do it when i hold the button down i want it to play the sound and when released it stops the sound where ever it is at. I also dont the sound to play again if there is a sound already going to stop it from playing 20 sounds at one time it gets loud and you need asprin after about 5 seconds of that.
I am trying to embed some sound controls, and have hit a dead end. I made my play and stop buttons, imported my mp3,, assigned it proper linkage, and inserted this AS2 :
[Code]...
The buttons are named "play_btn" and "stop_btn" respectively. When I export it or preview it, hitting the play button does not do anything.... I hear no sound. What could be up with this?
Im making an animation and in the 3rd scene i have a deer that screams and the sound plays way to early. I had to drag it out way past the frame where it opens its mouth for it to play at the right time.
I have no idea whats wrong this has happened before. I really dont want to have to guess on where to put the sound for everything a character says.
Back to my nightmare project, I've embedded sounds in the project that play based on certain user actions. They play fine for me (PC), but my customer is telling me they don't work for her (Mac).Would there be ANY reason a sound would play on a PC but not a Mac?I've told her to update her Flash player to make sure it's current and to make sure her speakers are on and the volume is up, but no sound.Okay, the REAL reason this isn't working is user error based on everything else I'm told that's happening and not happening, but I need to cover my bases and see if there really may be a reason sounds won't play on a Mac.
I have a playhead that moves across the screen and when it hitTests a movie clip it plays a sound. all is working fine except that it will only work the first time it is played. The playhead is controlled by a button. I am working in Actionscrpt2. Here is the code on the movieclip:
onClipEvent(enterFrame)[code]....
In the begining I was having trouble because the hitTest was playing the sound over and over but the above code sorted that out. I think that the new problem was created by fixing the old one.
I want to achieve the effect of a computer startup. IE, it only plays -once- and then doesn't play again for the rest of the time, even if the user comes back to the same menu. How do I get Flash working that way? I've tried variables to no effect... it doesn't want to change the variable condition.
I have another one to get off my chest.I am basically doing a spinning wheel game - i want the sound to play each time the Stopper hits a new prize section of the wheel.In my code, from my EnterFrame function, i call my playSound function but the sound file just never plays .. i know the function is being called as i can see it in trace.I suspect that because the EnterFrame is constantly being called, that the sound file - because it has determined it won't complete - it ignores it totally.[code]
Anyone know why this keeps playing the same sound over and over?
If I call it using: Code: var sounds:src.snd.SoundManager = new src.snd.SoundManager(); // This isn't how I do it, but ... you understand. sounds.queueSound('libsound1');
I have a small sound effect (less than 10KB) I have placed on my timeline. When I test it directly in flash, I can hear the sound effect, but when I CTRL + test my movie, I can't hear the effect?
Attached is a test SWF that has the exact problem that I am having in the main file, tried to attache the FLA but it is too big.To navigate to the problem, preview the SWF and click Search Now. It will bring up a list of different places, click on the one that says Harbison...that will bring up another window with an X in the corner. You click the X and it unloads the movie-clip but what is supposed to happen is that the white box is supposed to collapse back up after the MC unloads, but it doesn't.The code is there for it to gotoAndPlay the start of the frame where it collapses but it doesn't work...the action is being called because I traced it but it does not do anything.When you click the Harbison button it loads a MC into a Container with:
Code: _root.container.attachMovie("harbison","harbison",0); The X button has this code on it:
I have several buttons on the stage, each one will play an external sound file when clicked. If the user has clicked say button_1 and then clicks button_2, I need to stop the sound currently being played, before starting the sound from button_2
