I would like to attach a sound to a .fla file that starts to play when the file is opened. I have created a button and would like to be able to use this button for a visitor to the site to mute the sound. So, I'm trying to accomplish two things, first attach a .wav file, then get the mute button to work.
View 1 RepliesI have to play a sound file and show the progress of the sound file being played. I am using import flash.media.Sound; import flash.media.SoundChannel; But the PROGRESS event gives theprogress of loading of file. I want to know of much of the song has been played and how much more is left.
View 3 RepliesI want to attach a sound file and have several cuepoints that will cause certain movies to play as the sound file plays.I've looked into this and think I'm right in saying that you can't have an external sound file, like you can have an external Flash video file?What would be the best way to attach my large sound file?One way which I thought I could do what I need: create a Flash video file, don't show the video file and just play it... and then use Flash video's cuepoints.
View 4 RepliesI'm making a game with Flash CS5.5 and exporting it to a APK file (AIR for Android).The trouble is that the APK file is really just a ZIP file, so you can extract the content and inside there is my game as a regular SWF file. Anyone can upload this to any website and play the game there.
I don't want the SWF file to work unless opened like it should, inside the APK file through Android.Is there any way to know through ActionScript 3 code if the SWF file has been extracted from the APK file and has been opened as a normal SWF file?
It's possible to play a sound file through AS, either by loading it from a folder or import it to flash. It's also possible to play a dynamic tone with flash.media.Sound + writeFloat.
But... is it possible to play a sound file with flash.media.Sound + writeFloat in some way? I want to play a sound file without having to deal with any files except the .swf!
Here is my code
onFrame (1) {
mySound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("http://www.mysite.com/spot_mixdown.mp3 ");
mySound.start(0, 0);
}
that play .mp3 file from my website at the first frame. It's work for me!
But when I update spot_mixdown.mp3 (change sound inside but use same filename) on my website and then reload webpage, a sound is not change.
I have the loading audio file at frame one. However, I want to play the audio only at specific frame or frame label. How do I do that? Below are my codes:
Quote:
//start of sound section is for sound
var soundReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("FlashFiles/audioFiles/mySoundmp3");
var sound:Sound = new Sound();
[Code]....
The above plays the sound as soon as the .swf file is loaded. But I want to play at certain point in time, say frame number or frame label. I want to be able to put all my action script on frame one (or one location) instead of all over the time line.
Here is my code Action Script Code:
var myVar:String = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters.myVar;
var snd:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest(myVar)); var channel:SoundChannel = snd.play();
Here is the HTML embed:

Most of my flash movies have been reasonable sizes, but the one I'm working on now is kind of a beast. It's up against the 16000 frame limit, so I'm looking into ways to chop it up. The problem is that I need a way to keep my background music playing across multiple scenes or movies. Is there a way to start a sound file in one movie, and have it continue when another scene is loaded or when a second movie file is loaded with ActionScript?
View 3 RepliesI am have written a flash "reader" which I use as an aid for language studies. Various narrations are loaded into a combobox via an XML file, and the user can play the selected narration in a "sentence mode", a "passage mode" (several sentences) or in "continuous mode". (I use Soundbooth to set navigation cue points at the beginning of each "sentence".)
I would like to add a "Phrase Mode" which would cause the player to play the sound file until it hits a pause / quiet spot. In other words, if the user selected "phrase mode", the player would play to the next spot where there is no voice for x period of time. He/she will then be able to select 'repeat' to replay the phrase or 'next' to play the next "phrase" - as with the other modes. I am using FLVPlayback to play the .flv files.
I have a flash file with about 20 different scenes in it. And in one of the scenes there is an audio file that is 15 seconds long. The sound is on a menu page so i only want it in that scene. But if you are on that page for less than 15 seconds and go to another page then it carries on the sound into the next scene and if you go to and from the menu page to another scenes in quick succession you get a build up of sound which is horrible.
View 1 RepliesI have a Flash CS4 project with sound that starts to play in the first scene, set to event/loop so that it plays all through the entire time.
But I have a piece of video with audio in another scene and I would like to have the sound file playing at a lower volume while the video is playing, then get it to return to normal volume when the video is over.
I have no actionscript at this point. Just timeline animations, etc.
What I have are several items on a stage and when they are clicked I want to capture their names so I can use it to play a sound file that relates with the object clicked. For example: say I have a square, rectangle, and a square on the stage and when the user clicks on "triangle" it would play the sound "triangle_snd". This is what I have so far and the error I am getting from it.[code]...

I have a flash file with several frames. In each frame I need to play a sound file.I've added all the sounds to the library and done all the necessary steps to export for actionscript.Here's my code to play the sound in one frame.
var sound1:Sound = new Cal10101();
sound1.play();
This works great to play the sound. I am using buttons to move to the next frame. When I click the button to move to the next frame, I need the sound from frame 1 to stop and a new sound which would be Cal10102 to start playing.How do I stop the sound from frame 1 from playing when I go to the next frame?
I need to know how to load and play a sound from within a CLASS definition file. I know the normal way of doing this, but Flash MX rejects that syntax, so there must be some special way of using sounds in a class file.
I need to know how to code for "if the score increases by any value." So, if the score goes from 0 to 1, the sound plays ONCE. If it increases from 1 to 2, the sound plays ONCE again.
the method for stopping/playing sound in 2.0 don't work for 3.0. i can stop the sound by going to a different page/frame on the site.but i want the buttons.
1. play button?
2.stop button?
3.mute button?
I'm new to Actionscripting and I want to add a sound file to my project with controls to stop and play and a volume slider. I'm using this actionscript for the controls. It works but right now you need to click the play button for it to start. Is there a different way to write it so that the music starts playing when the scene starts, and then the user can stop or play it again and change the volume?[code]
View 3 RepliesIf i open .as file (or something else) in Notepad++ and select any variable or some other text, it will highlight all of the occurences of this variable in text of this opened document. And you can quickly see where this variable have assignemnts and so on. But in Flash CS3 i can only use standard Find dialog to search throug opened .as file and it finds only one occurence, then you hit "Find Next" and you've got another. Not so comfortable. So does that feature exist in Flash CS IDE, or something similar? (i can't find that)

Has anyone else had a problem in CS4 where some shape tweens disappear when a .fla file is closed and then re-opened?
View 9 RepliesFirstly, although I've been using Flash on and off for years (since CS3) I don't use it very often so I apologise if my issue seems simplistic.Basically, I used Flash CS3 for a few years to create basic animations for clients, involving simple scrolling text, without any problems.Recently I upgraded to the CS4 Master Suite and then CS5 Master Suite within a couple of days of each other and I now need to use Flash to make a change to an old animation.When I opened the CS3 file it appears as expected and I made the changes to the text (changing a word or two within a line of type).When I right clicked on the type relevant frames within the timeline I noticed that there is now more than one version of tween available, and that classic tween was already selected (I think I better buy a new teach yourself Flash CS5 book!)
Anyway, that was allI needed to do so I initially pressed return and the text scrolled across the stage as expected.But when I clicked on CONTROL / TEST MOVIE / TEST (or cmd+Return on my Mac) the SWF file that appears is static and the text does not scroll at all.If I publish the movie using Actionscript 3 or 2 the resulting SWF file is also totally static. But if I drop the SWF file into the relevant website folder and view it through Dreamweaver's browser view facility it works perfectly and scrolls just as expected.Equally, opening it using the Opera browser works too.
I've tried altering the CS3 file and testing the movie in Flash CS4 and Flash CS5 but the same thing happens.It's a bit time wasting and inefficient wanting to test an animation as a SWF file by double clicking on it and only being shown a static image.Is this a well known problem as I couldn't find any mention of it during my search?

View 1 RepliesI have to browse for and open a file in AIR. I can access the file via the File class:
var file:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("somefile.txt");
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.open(file, FileMode.READ);
And I can browse for a file via the FileReference class:
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileRef.browse(allTypes);
But I cannot seem to get the file from the FileReference object into the File object.
There is no "path" member exposed when debugging the FileReference after opening it
All the walkthroughs I've seen specify either desktop, local files as the initial view when calling browseForOpen.
Is there a way to have the air application remember the last location a file was loaded from and default back there?
If necessary I suppose the path could be written to the local db, but even still, I do not know how to get the filepath of the loaded file.
I am currently developing a virtual world with Flash CS 3 and AS 3 in the client side. Everything seems fine until I found that the flash player in the browser stops working when you minimized the browser or open another tab. It makes a huge problem in my virtual world, because when one player moves from location A to location B, and in the middle of the animation process (moving the player from A to B) the user minimized the browser then the animation process (and another process I assumed) is stopped. That would make a different location between the player current location (in the client side) with the server side and another client.
My question is how we keep the flash player keep working although the browser is minimized or another tab is opened? Just like most of facebook games or youtube player (keep playing the video although you are viewing another tab).
Using LoadVars.send() I insert info into a mysql database.I then click a button and the updated db content is shown in a textfield. Problem is that a HTML file is auto-opened in the browser.
When using LoadVars.sendAndLoad() I can still insert info into the database, but I can NOT update the info in the textfield. For some reason the "old" db content is loaded again.Flash and PHP files are in same folder on server.
