I participate in a important project right now and I have to implement a class that manages music and sound.The project that I'm making is developed in AS3 using the Flex enviroment.Is there a "best approach" or only different ones?
View 1 RepliesI followed the mp3player tutorial (part 3) from [URL] and got it working fine. Only problem is that the setVolume I'm trying to use with my music is affecting all my other sounds - button sounds and background sound. I'm aware of the createEmptyMovieClip/attachSound approach and got it working on my other sounds. But Lee's tutorial-mp3player is using a slight different technique, and so my normal approach doesn't quite work.
[Code]....
I am using the Sound class to play both music and sound in my game (.mp3). I am using the:
SoundMixer.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(0);
But, I will need something to mute only sound or only music, this would mute both.

I have created a simple soundboard, with multiple buttons that play sounds upon release. These sounds are embedded within the 'hit' frames of the buttons. Only one can be played at once, so this has been applied to each button:
on (press){stopAllSounds ();}
This all works as planned so far. However, I would like to have a background music feature that would be exempt from the "stopAllSounds" command and thus able to keep playing regardless of what buttons were pressed (or until a designated stop button was pressed).
I am working on a website that has 11 sounds in one frame. All of the sounds are external, meaning I have to call each one of them every time I want them to play, which happens when I click on specific MCs in my stage. Each MC I click all sounds stop and the new one starts playing. So far, so good.
But therein lies the problem: I want this to happen but keep background music playing. I have no idea where to start from.
A background music looping in the back, that starts with the opening of the swf and never stops. I think I achieved that with this bit of code :import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
bg music[code].....
Finally I need to jump from frame to frame randomly to play various animations. For example :Project starts, background music starts playing, we hear random sounds played one after the other, while some animations can be seen on screen, playing in a random order.
im trying to make a music/sound control and FX sounds control,so i have my FX volume level as a variable(FX_vol) and also the Music/sound volume level as a diffrent variable(M_vol),so i set them as sounds that i can use trough coding:

I want to synchronize sounds perfectly to do a kind of Audio Mixer, using different sounds. [URL] does it perfectly, I've been researching and researching and I just don't know how to do it! How does [URL] synchonize audio so perfectly? you can even change sounds and the new ones will come on time! How do I do that? Is it just Action Script? or something else?
View 1 RepliesI have a film with 4 scenes in it: Here's a link to the film and as you can see the film does not play the music the second time because of the StopAllSounds function which is probably the wrong code to use. The first scene is just a button with 1 frame, a stop action and a music clip. The second scene is the film. The third scene is the credits fourth scene is a Play again button. I have a Stop all Sounds action on the fourth scene because if I do not use it and I press the Play Again button, the music from the first song keeps playing but also the music from the film starts up again so it starts to play twice. What I want to know is, how do I get the music to stop at the end of the film but start up again once I hit Play Again?
I am using Flash CS3 if that helps and using Actionscript2.
I want a site to have background music, but when I attach the music to the file it makes it quite large ...3 meg and the site is slow to load. Is there any way of having the music separate from the flash file and still have start stop music buttons?
View 2 RepliesI'm working on an animation where I have my "dog" fighting the evil vacuum cleaner. I got most of it to work the way I want it to.
1) I have movie clips entitled pepper_mc (where my dog is supposed to be walking), swirl (where a swirly-type symbol is supposed to spin over the dead vacuum's head), and vacuum_mc (where the evil vacuum is supposed to have a swinging arm (called vacuumarm_mc) that I created using the bone tool). When I add them to the stage and test them, the animations within the movie clips don't happen.
2) I have background music that I'd like to stop playing at the end of the animation, but I'm not sure how to do that. (using the stop(); actionscript doesn't help).Where am I going wrong? I'm using Flash Pro CS5.
Here's the file --> Pepper and the Vacuum of DOOM!
When the movies performs the getURL action, I want the music to continue playing, but the getURL function seems to stop the music at frame 152 (where the getURL action is placed), when I wanted the music to continue to frame 257 (the end of the movie). I hope I've explained this clearly
View 3 RepliesI am trying to create a music animator. It will have bars that move up and down do the beat of the music. This is like windows media player where the music animations play. I want it to be verticle bars, where some are in sync with like the base and others are in sync with the tempo. Does anyone know of a tutorial for this? I am trying to emplement it within my website so that whatever music I am playing will auto control the bars and sync.
View 5 RepliesI downloaded a flash template and have modified it to suit our company but there is something that I can't do. When the file loads in the browser, music immediately plays and loops until you click a button to stop the music. On our video page, we have video
that we need to play that has sound in it. How do I get the background music to stop when my video plays without having to go up and stop the music manually. The videos are loaded via an external XML document and there are no buttons in the FLA file to link code to. the website is [URL]
I am streaming music from my site using flash, but after the 3rd music is done, it just stops. Do i have to flush something or create a new music object for each 3 songs?
View 6 RepliesI have 'Sound On' and 'Sound Off' buttons on mutiple scenes and I am playing the music loop in my flash movie by loading an external swf. When I move to the next scene the sound reloads which I do not want. How do I use an if-statement that checks whether or not the music.swf, that needs to be loaded is found and when it is found, go to a frame?
View 1 RepliesHow to stop this sound ? :MySound.play(0,100,null);
View 2 RepliesI have several sounds, how can I play them one by one. When I just use play(), the sounds play simultaneously. I also tried to handle SOUND_COMPLETE event, but it doesn't work.
sampleMP3A.play().addEventListener(
Event.SOUND_COMPLETE,
function(event:ResultEvent, o:Object):void {
[code].....
I tried to repetitive press sound effect, each MP3 is 8 secs long and as fast as I press the button, it suddenly hang for a few seconds before I could continue execute the sound effect again.

Is it possible to have the sound effect load and play 50 or 100 instances at the same time?
I need to realize a multiple-track player. The user can upload multiple tracks and mix (play them together). My problem is to allow the user to define an exact start position of each track to allow a synchronization between them, something like this:
Track 1: start at [x] sec.
Track 2: start at [y] sec.
play/stop
where the user can set the x and y. I've tried to realize it with AS2 (using netstream and setInterval) and AS3 (using netstream or sound and timer). Only if I set the same x and y both tracks are playing simultaneously.
I am working over a program that needs to extract meta data from music files in different formats. It was easy for MP3 format, but there is nothing for other formats.I made a research, there is a lot of software for extracting meta data - but no source code or algorithm. There are open source projects, they use their own libraries, but I was not able to find something for Flex (Action Script)
View 2 Repliesi have a flash movie that is coded in flex and when i upload it to the web it requires that i also upload my /music folder or it wont work. is this normal?
because i have about 3mbs of music and my swf's size is only 1.3mbs and im trying to use the flash compression but i dont think itlll actually be compressing the music...
What is technical difference between buffering and loading ? Say, i have a video, which is showing loader bar in progress. Then what's happening exactly ? Buffering or Loading ?

I have a website banner made in Flash. I have added a music file to it and Play and Stop buttons. I also have a Replay button to replay the banner animation once it stops.
I have put the music on a separate frame so that it will not play automatically when the banner loads. I have made the Play button direct to the frame the music is located at so that when clicked, it will go to that frame and play the music file.
The problem I am currently having is that if I click the Play button more than once, it will play the music file again on top of the current play-through.
So if I click Play, the music will play. Then if I click it again, the music will play again, but on top of the first instance of the music, so two instances of it will now be playing and it sounds horrible.
I would like to make it so that if you click Play when the music is playing, it will not play the music again until the music has stopped.
I could play MIDI file where "filename" is a String type with "asd.mid" value. However, I tried to sent AIR's nativeprocess command to Java, it shown "could not read" error.

I want to design a music button for a game like geochallenge
View 1 Repliesok i have a music off button...i want the text to change from "music off" to "music on" and for the actionscript code to change so that the music will turn on when you press on and not off when you press on.
Would I use attachMovie and just convert my button to a movieclip or is there another way? etc, loadmovie.
I know there is an easy answer to this and it is at the tip of my tounge.
Im working on a project where i have to develop an audio application for an android smart phone, but i have to present a mock app so i designed it in flash. I have a rough app where it loads the song, plays, pauses, foward, and previous, but im stuck flash isn't my first language, as you can tell from the attached .as file there are two things i need help in one is: when one clicks the next button the audio clip from the current song should fade out and the next song should fade in while the other song fades out. second thing is i don't know how to get a working seek bar for the player.
