Actionscript :: Change The Volume Of An EMBEDDED Sound?
Feb 23, 2011
Searching for how to change the volume of sounds, I always get this irritating snd=new Sound(URLRequest), followed by snd.setVolume(val). Oh, fine, but my sound is not an URLRequest, it's an embed.
I've made a lot of random attempts (1) to no avail. How am I supposed to do that instead?
(1) including casting my class to Sound, creating a Sound with the embed class as argument, creating a SoundTransform and setting it to the channel, etc.
I have several sounds of same length playing on the Timeline, each playing in loop on their own layer so that they can be syncronised on the same tempo (i did not managed to do this through pure AS3).
Is it possible to manipulate the sounds on this timeline individually via actionscript (ie: add listeners, change volume, read position) ?
I'm building a video player and am kinda stuck at the volume slider part. It's a YouTube style vertical slider, meaning if the slider is in the top position volume should be 100% and if the slider is dragged to the bottom position sound should be 0. Currently it's doing the opposite of what I want :(
Dragging the slider down will make the sound louder, while dragging up lowers it.
Here is my code below dealing with the volume slider.
[Code]....
The (-4) is an offset value so when you drag it all the way to turn it off, it's 0 and not 4. I need to reverse this somehow, so the traces above will swap... going down will make userVolume = 4 and going up will make it 30.
I've created a small music player with a sliding volume control. I'm having trouble with the volume. Though it does control volume properly, if I set the initial volume to less than 100%, the volume always starts at 100% until I move my mouse over the player. At that point, the volume changes to whatever the initial volume is set to.Is this a flash bug, or am I missing something? Here is the affected code (code for other buttons/functions omitted for brevity):
var song_initvolume:Number = 100; slider_1._x = groove_1._x + song_initvolume; playSong(0,song_play);[code]....
I'd like to be able to set the volume at say 50%, but the above mentioned behavior happens each time.
It seems right to me but I don't know. The movie button slides down the slider bar but it just doesn't affect the volume. Going to try to attach my FLA to offer better insight. Just tried to upload it and no matter if it's FLA or zipped FLA, it says it failed.
I have a video streaming application that uses a Red5 server. The stream from Red5 is represented through an embedded video object on stage. I need to be able to control the volume of this video object, but so far I've been unsuccessful despite following tutorials like this one: http:[url]....Here's the relevant code:
[code].....
I have a button calling volumeChange onRelease, but when I trace videoSound.getVolume() in volumeChange, it comes up as undefined. However, if I trace videoSound.getVolume() after I define videoSound, it comes up as 100, but any attempt to use videoSound.setVolume in initNetStream is futile.
I have this site I'm doing in Flash with an embedded video.The site has background music that is loading automatically, but when the embedded movie loads, the volume on that is mixed in witht he sites music.If you mute the sites background music, it mutes the video sound as well. Make sense?How can I seperate them out or make the sites background music not load on that particular page.
I have an application with a collection of sounds in the timeline. One sound file is recorded at a slightly lower volume than the others. I know I could change this in Audacity but I'm wondering whether I could attach a line of actionscript to its button to raise its volume slightly.I know its possible to do this when playing sounds with actionscript directly from the library, but that would be too big a departure from the development style used.
If I have library song playing using a simple code like: var mySong:Song = new Song();mySong.play(); How do I use a button to control its volume so that each time it is clicked the volume goes up or down by a little.
Is it possibleto get the sound volume of of a specific frame or specific time of sound item with the Flash Javascript API maybe together with Action Script?
I'm trying to set a volume to my external sound. I'm using the following code, there're no errors, but the volume is not affected...
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("squeeak3.mp3");var sound:Sound = new Sound();var controller:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();var myTransform = new SoundTransform();myTransform.volume = 0.2;controller.soundTransform = myTransform;
I can't seem to figure out how I set the volume of a single sound object. Everytime I use setVolume on a sound, it is applied to *all* sound objects playing The code that I'm using :
Code: music = new Sound(); music.attachSound("music");
can anyone tell me how to loop 5 different sounds, drums, bass, sax etc. When i use :
[Code]...
and play them all, it's ok, looping fine, but what i want to do is to have 5 buttons that control those 5 sounds. turning of and on some of them... i tried with "secondSound.setVolume(0)" to turn off 2nd sound, but that kill them all... CAN i SOMEHOW set volume down just for one sound? OR if thats not possible, i need bass or sax sound to start again, when button is clicked, in the same position where drums sound is... but when loop start again to start also from "0" i've also tried reading firstsound position:
Every piece of info I can find about how to set the volume of a sound in Flash with setVolume, mentions that you need to reference the movie clip where the sound is stored....to target just that sound, and not the whole timeline.Is there a relatively easy way to set the volume of different sounds that are loaded into the same movie clip? I'm loading my sounds with AS on the first frame of my movie, and would prefer not to have to create separate movie clips for each sound..
I'm having issues with controlling multiple sound volumes in flash. What I need to have happen is a Background music softly playing while a voice over is also playing.
This is what i have in the first frame of my main timeline
Code: firstSound = new Sound(BGMusic_mc); firstSound.attachSound("LatinRockMusic"); firstSound.setVolume(10);
[Code]...
but when it starts to play the voice sound the volume jumps up to 100. I need the first sound to stay at 10 and the voice sound to be at 100.
I have a timeline with a sound in it set to sync because I am scrubbing the main timeline.... I now want to control the volume of the sound in the timeline..is that possible in AS3??
sometime like : var my_globalSound:Sound = new Sound(stage); that of course doesn't work, but how would I get access to the sound set in the timeline...
I have a sound running on a timeline and I want to have an AS2 script that will reduce the volume by, say 50%, and have the reduction in volume happen over a number of seconds so it is not an abrupt change.
What Im looking to do is decrement the volume level on each iteration of a looped sound.[code]How do I check each time it loops? I'm currently storing all playing sounds by ID inside a Dictionary object. Keep in mind that there will be different sound playing. I wasn't sure if I should be using a SoundChannel here either.
Im having trouble try to decrement the volume level of a sound after each loop. I am playing the sound just like this (not in a SoundChannel):
ActionScript Code: var playCh:Dictionary = new Dictionary(); //.... private static function loopMySnd(id:String, loopAmount:int):void{
[code]....
The problem is that the COMPLETE only picks up the first time the sound cmpletes playing and not the second or third. How do I check each time it loops? I am currently storing all playing sounds by ID inside a Dictionary object.
Cannot read property (or target) a Sound thats playing in a SoundChannel.... in this case I am refering to a class the extends the Sound class (SoundEffect class), that is currently playing in a SoundChannel. Each SoundEffect has a volumeLevel property that I would like to restore once I have unmuted the SoundEffect's in my application. I cannot figure out how to target that property once its playing in the Channel.I am extending the Sound class:
ActionScript Code: public class SoundEffect extends Sound { public var ID:String;
