Timeline Sound Isn't Skipped?
Dec 24, 2009
To make a preloader work on frame 1 I can't use 'export to first frame' on a library sound file. This would mess up my preloader. So I deselected that option and instead dragged the sound file (with 'export for actionscript' still selected) to frame 2. Frame 1 would include the preloader part but for testing purposes I just placed gotoAndPlay(3) there. This would immediately skip frame 2 (with the sound file) and continue from frame 3. Frame 3 would later be the start for the main movie. But for now I just placed this code:
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound(); my_sound.attachSound("soundfile.mp3"); my_sound.start(); Testing the movie I found out that the sound played twice on top of each other. So I replaced above code with comment lines:

I've imported a sound into the library. Normally it would have to have 'export for actionscript' and 'export in first frame' selected to make attachSound work. When using a preloader however, I would have to deselect the 'export in first frame' option, otherwise the preloader would start as from 60% or something. So I deselected that one and instead dragged the sound file to the stage between the preloader on frame 1 and the main movie as from frame 3.
When the preloader is finished it would use gotoAndPlay(3) the skip frame 2 with the sound in it. Because the sound file isn't using 'export in first frame' but is included in frame 2, it is not playing, but loaded nevertheless. That way later on as from frame 3 I still could use attachSound. I've tested it with attached file, but it isn't working like expected. In frame 1 (which would be the preloader bit), I just used gotoAndPlay(3).
Frame 2 is the keyframe with the sound dragged on stage. This should be skipped by frame 1. Frame 3 has some comment lines so isn't doing anything yet (just placed some typical attachSound lines, but with comment slashes). Now, although frame 1 is skipping frame 2 and the soundfile isn't using 'export in first frame', the sound is playing nevertheless? How is this possible?
To make it more weird: if I shift these 3 frames to the right, let's say frame 2, 3, and 4, it is working like expected and the sound isn't playing because a gotoAndPlay(4) is skipping frame 3? Why the sound is playing when it is skipped with a gotoAndPlay(3) in the first frame? I know how to make it work, but I'm interested in why it doesn't work when the swf starts from frame 1.

I want to attach a sound to the main timeline (rollover sound) that i can call from on(rollover) button events. I will be attaching the same sound to several buttons.

I'm using Flash CS5 with AS2. However, there's this project I'm working on right now. When I simulate a download, the preloader is somehow skipped. I'm staring at a blank screen for a minute instead of a preloader and then the main menu pops up. You just see the preloader for one single frame.
Now the code for my preloader is really the standard code:
Actionscript Code:
stop();onEnterFrame = function(){
p = getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal();
percent_txt.text = String(Math.round(100*p)) + " %";
if(p == 1){ nextFrame();
delete onEnterFrame;
}}
I have some code on frames 2 and 3, but I tried to see what would happen if I left it out, and the same thing occurs regardless of there being code on frames 2 and 3. All I can really tell you that may mean something is the file size is 2.9 MB. Why Flash Player doesn't just display the preloader, especially since I've never encountered this before.

Let's say I click next song, it starts loading the next song, then I click next song again before the first song finishes loading. Will the program continue streaming the first song as well as stream the second song?
Code:
private function NewSong (plus) {
if (sound.bytesLoaded / sound.bytesTotal < 1) {
sound.close ();
} sound = null;
songtimer.stop ();
songplaying = false;
channel.stop ();
[Code] .....
This is the code that handles when a new song is to be played. I would think that the first few lines of code would close the stream if it's still loading but I'm not sure. When I click next song like say 10 times, it takes a really long time for the song to stop buffering and start playing. The main question still remains: Will it continue loading songs I skipped over?

I have a swf file "home" that has a series of animations that are button controled.I want part of the animation to be skipped when I click one specific button, for instance.Most of the time I want frame label:"1 out" to play all the way through to the last frame (20) and on frame (20) there is an action sending it back to frame 1and stopping, but I need to have a button that when hit plays frame label 1: "1 out" and continues to frame (19) and does not utilize the action on frame (20) sending it back to frame (1), or in other words playing through "1 out" and then playing "2 out" which occurs on frame 21 without returning to frame (1).

I seem to be having a very weird issue with AS3/Flash 9.
Let me paint the picture: we have a website that loads in 6 different icon buttons, each with their own animation for rollover/rollout. EVERY flash file and embedded timeline video for the icons is 30FPS. However, flash seems to sometimes make it's own decision on frame rate and suddenly the icons will speed up to what seems like 5x the normal frame rate (for example, running through the rollover animation in .5 seconds instead of 3 seconds.

I have a small sound effect (less than 10KB) I have placed on my timeline. When I test it directly in flash, I can hear the sound effect, but when I CTRL + test my movie, I can't hear the effect?

I'm streaming an external SWF into another movieclip, the external SWF has a timeline animation and sound (voice speech) as well on the timeline, it also has a preloader on it which it's set up that when 30% loaded is completed to start playing the animation.But when I run the main movieclip the streaming of the external SWF works fine for the animation but the sound does not play until the preloader is 100% completed.

I am creating an e-learning to put into an LMS which has sound files. in order to play in the LMS, the sound file has to be in the timeline of the flash file, and not called through attachSound, or attachAudio. I would like to trigger an event after the end of the sound, so i have made a movie clip, placed the sound in the movie clip, and put the event at the end.whenever i advance, or back up in my file, the sound continues to play. i've tried stopping the sound by:[code]neither of those will stop the sound. The movie will advance, but the sound also continues to play. If I go back to the sound, it restarts, but I will need a way to stop it.

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.

I have multple sounds attached to my timeline. When I jump to another frame where the clip doesn't exist anymore the sounds keep playing. All of them are played. Even SoundMixer.stopAll()doesn't help.

I'm trying out FlashCS5 in an iMac running Snow Leopard. I'm putting in the timeline an mp3 sound I imported to the library. When I test the movie I get this message: When I test the swf, I get no animation and no sound. I tried changing the settings in the Advanced AS3 Settings to Default Linkage to from "Runtime Shared Libraries" to "Merged int code". The message goes away but the test still fails.

I have a very simple fla consisting of a picture and a sound on separate timelines. In AS3, I want to determine the sound is complete and go to another URL. I have the code for changing URLs working in a separate function. What I can't figure out is how to get the soundComplete to work when I'm not playing the sound with ActionScript

Basically im trying to stop sound playing from a timeline. My little swf plays and has music playing from a separate layer. and when i mouse down on it i have action script 3 that jumps to a dif frame and starts playing a new anim and sound layer. but the previous sound layer keeps playing to the end. Is there anyway to stop the sound layer playing at the same time that i jump to a new frame?

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've discovered that the only way to sync loops adequately in flash is to put them together on the timeline.
is there any way to change the volume of each layer with actionscript? i'd like to dynamically mix between loops.

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 want to add a mute / unmute button for sound that must remain synced to my animation. It sounds like a pretty straightforward task and I'm embarased that THIS is where I've gotten stuck while I've gotten through some stuff I thought would be way harder on my own. The reason this is a problem is because in considering 2 approaches I've run into a wall. I'll gladly accept any advice to circumvent the roadblock either way.
Approach 1 is to add the sound to the library, drop it in the timeline as a stream and build my animation to match. That works just fine, but I can't find an instance name for the sound to run a setVolume function against (not even sure if it would be that simple, but without an instance name, I can't move any further forward; I tried labeling the first frame of the sound layer 'narration' and trying refernces like timeline.narration, timeline, narration, and so on, but no joy).
Approach 2 is to import the sound using URLRequest, instantiating the sound and setting the volume against that instance. Works like a charm but the sound drifts out of sync with the animation (that was synced perfectly when it was in the timeline). This is my less appealing option because I'm using nav buttons taking me to various frames and the sound (which used to pick up at the right frame when it was in the timeline) just plays on without regard to the point in the animation. It's not a surprise to me that this happens, but if I were to do this I'd need to write code into my nav buttons to pick up the right spot in the sound instance and I'm not sure how to do that.

this is the scenario:main class loads a lot of SWF, each with a timeline streaming sound (need this way for sync with animation) I need to access swf-sound peaks to control volume of a main class dynamic loaded mp3.
all loaded swf are added to main swf as "Page" class that extends MovieClip
How can i access sound channel of loaded swf ?

I am having a bit of a problem with the playback of a certain sound in my published file. I have a sound attached to a frame in my timeline and I have it as a stream so that it plays extactly where I want it to in the movie. When I publish my movie, however, the sound plays about 2-3 seconds before it's supposed to. I tried putting another sound file in its place and the other file plays early as well. The sound will also start early if it is an event

I have a sound that I have imported into my library and I'm playing it in my timeline by adding it to a keyframe. I want it to go away when I move to scene 2. In action script 2.0, there was a script that I used that was "stopAllSounds()", but that doesn't work in 3.0. Is there a quick fix to stop all sounds or one sound on my timeline?

I made about a 1 minute animation synched to music soundtrack. When I play (command Enter) from Flash everything synchs up fine, but when I play the swf alone in the Flash player the audio and animation get out of synch. I tried setting the audio to stream but that made things worse, and I also tried increasing the compression rate of the audio file which helped but is not perfect. I found a snippet of AS2 code that I am trying to convert to AS3 that uses the sounds position to set the frame number via onEnterFrame. I'm also using a frame rate of 29.97.[code]...

I've run into a bit of a problem using Adobe's CS3 flash program in terms of lip syncing... I can place the sound files in the timeline at whichever point I like and so forth, but I have no way to play them in such a way where I can adequately make lip syncs. It's hard to explain, but in flash MX I would merely click the timeline, drag the cursor along it, and it would play the sounds as it did the frames, one piece at a time. That way I could tell where the consonants were and therefore where to change my characters' lips. This is not the same as simply hitting "enter" and letting the sound play in its entirety.
