i'm attempting to instantiate a bunch of sounds by creating a string array containing each sound's filepath (or name).
var soundByName:Object = {};
var channelByName:Object = {};
var soundName:String;
[code]....
I want to write a function that will load all of my external sounds stored in an array which are just strings of their filenames ie:
var soundList:Array = new Array();
soundList = ["sound1.wav", "sound2.wav", etc];
And create a new array with sound Objects that will have the sounds loaded in them (for later execution). After loading all of the sounds in the soundList array, the function should return or just set a _root value to 'true' ie:
[Code]...
I'm not sure if this is at all possible, but I've been trying this for hours with no prevale. I can only presume I'm over complicating things.
I've generated a awkward looking string using variables, and arrays:
Code:
var someVar:string = "hello";
var myArray:Array = new Array("test0", "test1", "test2");
var myString:string = someVar+"World_"+myArray[2]);

I am trying to pass a string of images into an array and then load each image dynamically into a seperate bmp. The code is as follows:
ActionScript Code:
package{
import flash.events.*;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
[Code] .....
I'm trying to create something that will load a bunch of images into an array and then be displayed whenever needed via using the attachMovie() function.
Code:
for (var i=1; i<list.length; i++) { //list is an array full of urls to images
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("img"+i,i);
loadMovie(list[i], "_root.img"+i);
}
I dont think this is what I want because I don't actually want the images to appear right here (this is the loading part). What I want is each image to be in a separate symbol with a unique identifier so that I can create them dynamically during runtime.
I've constructed a dynamic slideshow using ActionScript 2.0 and PHP/MySQL. The reason for this, aside from update purposes, is that the slideshow will eventually display over 200 images. Thus, to save loading time and bandwidth, I decided to use PHP to pull ten images from an SQL database, formatting the output in XML. The slideshow itself works fine. Unfortunately, there are a couple of issues I need to address; my ActionScript is extremely rusty, so much of my work's patchy.
The code's displayed below:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var myShowXML = new XML();
myShowXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myShowXML.load("getData.php");
[Code] .....
The code in red is my main focus. It's the loop which loads all images as movie clips using the XML information from an array. The loop loads all of the images, making them transparent before the presentation begins. What I would like to do instead, to save loading time, is to load the next image while the current one is displaying. The function "moveSlide" controls the transition of the images, so I'd imaging it'd be best to plade it in there.
There's already an incremental variable being used, with _root.target_mc, for removing transparency from the current slide. The code in blue is also nagging me quite severely. I retrieve the next chain of slides by simply contacting the PHP script again. The only way I could think of doing that was to refresh the slideshow (this is done COMPLETELY in ActionScript, with nothing on the stage). Unfortunately, I could only work out how to reload the whole video.
I'm going to post the full code of the two functions, disregard the "fluff" unrelated to the two functions as it is all working flawless, I've tested this HEAVILY and cannot understand why it keeps setting the entire array to undefined!
Code:
// processReplace Function
function processReplace(transferFiles) {
var processArray:Array = transferFiles.slice();
[Code]....
Basically it's supposed to check to see if the file exists and return as true if it does and add it to a replace array, then the replace array is processed into a single string and put into a dialog box through the flash wrapper prompting them to "replace the files or not".
It makes the replace array just fine, it actually even has the right "count" in it but it's setting all the "filenames" to undefined because of the exists = processSearch function.
I even tried to make a new array and run the search just from that one and set the values from the old one and it's still failing.
Is it because of the "break" or can anyone figure it out? Iknow it's hard because you can't use the code
Basically I'm trying to output the contents of an XML document into a dynamic text field (as loaded - not just its node values and content - the entire thing - into a variable called _root.log). The text field is set to show the variable value of _root.log.This is the actionscript...
PHP Code:
var newProfileXML:XML= new XML("<contacts result='true'><contact name='John Doe'/><contact name='Jane Doe'/></contacts>");
[code].....
I am looking for a way to check if any sting of the Array is matched to the string that in the TextField. In the code it should be something like that:
Code:
var TestString:Array = new Array ("chicken", "cat", "dog");
function LookStringArray(){
if (TestArrayTextfield_txt.text == (anyString.TestString)){
[code]....
var myvar = "this is the value of myvar";
var notMyvar = "this is some other variable";
var thirdVar = "this is some third var";
var nameOfVarToCall = "myvar";
//print the content of the var name specified, in this case "myvar"
I have a string which contains the name of a variable I need. What I want to do is find out the name of var (in this case "myvar") and use the name to access the value of the var (in this case just print out the value). Is this feature available in Actionscript. I know it's available in PHP and can come in very handy.
my library is filled with a movie clip for each letter in the alphabet (26 movie clips). I also have a blank symbol on the stage. When the movie starts, it generates a random 8 letter string from an array of letters. The next part is supposed to take the first letter of the newly generated string, pull the corresponding movie clip from the library, and display it in the blank symbol on the stage. After that, it moves to the 2nd letter, and so on. Ultimately I'm trying to have 8 random letters from the alphabet array set the corresponding movie clips on the stage.
View 2 RepliesI need a flv with two sound. I want to load load two different sound for one flv file. For example I want to load my flv file in frame 1 with sound 1 then I want to load my flv file in frame 2 with sound 2. How can I do it?
View 7 RepliesI have a main movie loading a SoundMC which loads 12 swf's that contain mp3's with preloaders in each swf.
example LoadMovie("swfName","_level10")My issue is that when the swf loads it will load in the top left corner of my movie. So I put it inside of a movieclip and tried to attachMovie("clipname")setProperty._x = x; setProperty._y = x; but no Love. Should I put this in the Main timeline or in the SoundMC timeline or not use it at all?
I want to play an embedded sound referenced from an array.In flash 8 I would simply use this code.Quote:
var mySound = new Sound();
mySound.attachSound(myArray[0][8]);
mySound.start();
[code].....
I want to push a button, and play through the entire array one sound at a time. When the first sound stops, the second begins, etc. all the way until the last sound plays. When the last sound finishes, all sound should stop, and if you push the play button again, it should start over at the beginning, and play through all sounds again.
I'm thinking the SOUND_COMPLETE needs to be used... I'm just not sure how, hence the empty function. I only want to have to push play one time to hear the entire array in a sequence.
var count;
var songList:Array = new Array("test1.mp3","test2.mp3","test3.mp3");
count = songList.length;
[Code].....
so I'm unclear about how to set up variables. I prefer to play sounds from my library using linkage,pass an array of sounds into the SoundChannel, so that I can stop them all at once?t's for a 'toggle voiceover' button, so perhaps better to use Sound transform to mute the Sound Array.This is what I have so far. (Page1 etc is my linkage sound name)
Code:
var GlobalVoice:Array = ["Page1", "Page2", "Page3"];
var Globalchannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();

I'm quite new to actionscript 3, but have been playing with some code to generate beeping sounds in flash. It's quite fun, however, I am trying to find a way to space the beeps out for example, having a beep play for one second, followed by a one second break, before another beep plays.
Code:
import flash.media.Sound;
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();

So I'm having trouble calling my movieclips that I created and assigned strings to their names.So I'm trying to create 3 movieclips with 3 different instances and add them to the stage.here's the code:
for(var i:int = 3; i > 0; i--){
var myMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var myMCName:String = "MCName"+String(i);
[code].....
this piece of code:
PHP Code:
var mySoundReq:URLRequest= new URLRequest("samplesound.mp3");
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
mySound.load(mySoundReq);
How does the urlrequest know where that .mp3 file is located, and how do i tell as3 where it is? and another thing: when i put this on the web, how do i locate the file then?
There are 8 letters in the menu. Each letter provides a linkwhen clicked and a sound when rolled over. The letters will NOTAPPEAR on stage until their corresponding sound is completedloaded. I did this to avoid distortion during playback. The soundbit are pretty small as well. Anyway, the sounds are still distorted during playback and Idon't know why. They are all MP3. HELP PLEASE!! Here's the scriptfor one of the eight letters (movieclips) only to limit size you'llhave to look through:
public function Index() {
var D:MovieClip = new dMC();
D.x = 100;

I am using this code to load an external mp3 file -

I made an app. I figured out how to load all my images into in.I have about 1000 images and 1000 sounds that I am using in it. About 70MB of data How will this affect a users computer? Is it even possible the load up this much content?I ask because I am getting stack overload error on my bulkloader!Scares me to think that months of work will go down the drain because I can't load this much data!
View 2 RepliesBit of a problem with trying to attach a sound to a series of movie clips stored in an array. I miss attachSound from AS2, it was so cool. Background first. I'm making a simple pairs game where the aim is to match the 2 cards that have the same sound attachted to it. I'm storing my card movie clips in an array to build the grid (obviously lol) and I have 18 audio files in my library with the class names s0 - s17. Code breakdown below. Apologies if this doesn't appear in code format,[code]I have two issues.
1 - how would I add a sound to each movie clip in the for loop in preparation for adding another function which is called when the user clicks the movie clip and the sound plays?
2 - the grid is 36 tiles long , so to make the whole pairs game work I need to attach each sound twice, and then again I will create another function which will then shuffle them randomly.
I'm parsing out a greensock easing function as a string from an XML (as in "Strong.easeOut"), but then I need to store that in a variable as a Function type to call later. how is this done?
everything else i've found has been how to call a function from a string, as in this["functionName"](). i don't even know if using "this" is the correct scope for a static function in another class?
I made some sort of MP3 player based on an XML file, and I want to load the next track when pressed on a button. Well that part works, the problem is, when I play the next song, this is what happens:
- The next song plays
- The bar that is normally buffering is already full
- When I skip to a part of the song, it skips to the first song!
How can I "clear" a sound variable and load another one?
So I've been messing around with some code to see if I can get a button to play a random sound from an array by using a function. However, I keep getting the error
TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor.
at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/ClickHandler()
Here's my code:
Code:

Random number is of course a random number no higher than the array length.
However, Chosen sound is always "null". Should I worry here?
I Am wondering if is possible to use one sound channel to play through an array of sounds? Perhaps by using a complete event or other means?

The sound I wanted to stop or play are separates into background music and button sound effect. I know you could use SoundMixer.stopAll() to stop all sound, and some how exclude the bg music, IF everything is written in the same class. But what if the sounds are called from others dynamic classes? How could I target them and exclude the bg Music?
