Actionscript 3 :: Save Sound From SoundChannel Object Flash
May 3, 2011
I'm planning to program a small piano in flash that have an x number of notes to play through a SoundChannel.
What I have not found is a way to record what is playing through SoundChannel and send it as byteArray to a server side script that will save it as WAV (or mp3).
I know Flash Player 10.1 allows you to record sound, but everything I have found is about recording sound using the microphone class. It seems the way to go is to send the sound data to the microphone. That doesn't seem very right or possible though..
I just finished a simple music player... For testing purposes. I upload it in the following address:http:[url]....with 10 music songs that I had recorded from radio stations(added the last 2 twice for testing).The problem is that when a song has totally loaded, stop action taken needs about 1 second to be applied!I.e. When I press "STOP", the sound continue to play for 1 sec before stop. When I push "pause" it takes one second for the music to stop!
However when using resume (second time pause) the sound starts instantly! Thus I guess there is an issue with stop()function of the SoundChannel object that I am using to stop the sound. Also notice that when unpause the music, it continue ~one second before the last sound - which means that I saved the soundChannel.position number (and also call soundChannel.stop()) in correct time, but it didn't stop immediately - bug!?
This only happens when the application runs through a browser(plugin v. 10) - programmed in CS3.
PS1. Notice that ,this also happens when I change Volume too. Thus because Stop and Volume are parts of SoundChannel, I guess there might be a bug with SoundChannel in online plugins..... :/
PS2. Notice that ,this also happens when I close the browser (firefox). Even if browser is closed the music continue for 1 sec the same way as when pressing stop!.. Thus I guess it's flash bug!...
As I have commented before I am building English teaching apps. I will have music playing in the background, words being pronounced and at times a surprise sentence. All three could sound at the same time at any given point. To build this properly should I use SoundChannel for all of these?
At the moment my code for the music loop is as so. The sound is in the library and exported for AS. Is this code fine or is it better to assign it to the SoundChannel class.
Is there a better way to use the sound channel is AS3?
var mySound:Sound = new Sound(); playButton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, myPlayButtonHandler); var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel(); function myPlayButtonHandler (e:MouseEvent):void {
I load a song and when I get the length the song never reach this value.Here is issue document by another guy AS3 - SoundChannel.position never reaches Sound.length.And here is my code
From the Flash player specification, it supported up to 15/16 or 32 sounds in a buffer, which mean any more sounds is load beyond that limit will either caused buffer stop working.
Is there any class to override to increase sounds to 1024 or greater?
I wondered if there is a way to find out from the soundChannel the url of the sound it is currently playing. once I found out its url, i can than use its name to call something else.Or anyway to find out the sound that is playing on a soundChannel.I will know which channel to look into, but different sound will be loaded into this soundChannel.If this is not possible, i thinking along the line of overloading SoundChannel play method so that is fires an event when the sondchannel plays and also find out the name of the sound file it is currently playing.
I have some sounds in my library that I want to play in a soundchannel, but how? This is what I have so far:
var music:Sound = new Sound();var channel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();var sTransform:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform();var sound:SoundFile1 = new SoundFile1(); // Note: SoundFile1 is a class; in it is my soundfile in the library// music.load(sound); ??channel = music.play();
I've just started working with sound and as I understand it I primarily need two objects: Sound and SoundChannel. Every call to a Sound.play() method will create a new SoundChannel object. So technically, I could write my code like this:
Code: package { import flash.media.Sound;
[code]....
Will simply create a new SoundChannel object and the first one created by the constructor will be garbage collected? As a side note, it's possible to see Adobe's source files e.g.SoundChannel.as. I'm curious as to how the SoundChannel.stop() method works since it doesn't throw an error or exception even if the audio has already stopped playing.
I have a soundchannel, and I'm playing a lot of sounds in it, but I need the completion of any sound file within that channel to be followed by a wait of two seconds, then trigger an event. How can I do this?
I have a pause button that pauses a sound playing in a soundchannel. It works, but when I resume the sound, it isn't in thecorrect position, almost like it was rewinded a little. I'm usingthe code straight from the
so I have a lot of classes in actionscript 2. But I need to modify my application to use the soundchannel object for audio monitoring. as far as i know this is only in actionscript 3. so it it possible to write one class in AS3 and leave the rest in AS2?
if not is there a conversion tool which can make the process easier?
The file saves properly, but it can not be played (Players say it is corrupted) how I can create a valid mp3 file from the byteArray obtained after the extraction?
Is it possible to take two Sound objects and combine them into one Sound object so that one Sound plays, and then the second plays right after it? I can just play the first Sound and then the next right after it, but it would be much cleaner to combine them before playing the audio.
I'm using a loader for people to use to upload their own images for a background, and I want it to remember the image the next time they come to the page, so is there any way to save the loader data in a shared object? I haven't tried just using something like
I am using the following to extract the byte info from a sound object - however if I go back to the same sound object and run this again, The byteArray has no bytes available.
var data:ByteArray = new ByteArray; sound.extract(data,sound.length*44.1); data.position = 0; return data;
Is this the correct behavior? Is there not a way to do this multiple times on the same sound object?
I have been at this for about 19 hours straight! I am going to go to bed immediately after this post, but for crying out loud, I have NEVER had this problem before today! Before anyone reads ahead and says 'you have to attach your sound object to a completely separate mc to be able to control it independently from all other sound/root volumes.' see if the following code accomplishes just that:
You could capture the sound into a ByteArray and save the bytes in a file or a database. Have a look at the SampleDataEvent on the Microphone class, and the ByteArray class. As for the php I think you want to look at mysql functions or fopen() and fwrite().
I have a streaming sound that is loaded into my flash movie (will end up on CD) that is very distorted, it sounds like someone is slowing down the audio, the voice sounds deep and slow
I have a speaker and I need this speaker moves with a sound. I need to simulate the real world speaker vibration generated by the low and mid frequencies.
Does not have to be soo realistic what I whant to know is how I can play a sound and get son mumerical value usefull for apply numerical size transformation to the speaker.
Is it possible to play multiple sound files using a single sound object? (I've looked into this back when I was using Flash CS3, but I want to know if anything has changed.)
(I'm trying to make a playlist which will play music in the background of my SWF movie and then have a frame where users can change the song and the volume.)
