Mute Sound/Pause Sound Button HELP
I made a button (Flash CS3, AS2 file) and want it to mute a sound called 'GuitarLoop' which I've imported and have on 'Layer 3. My button's on 'Layer 3' and I need it to mute 'GuitarLoop' when pressed.

I searched on google but didn't really find anything, soooo.... Do you know how I could fill in the blanks?

on (release) {
not_set_yet.stop()
}

I'm guessing here but...

on (release) {
GuitarLoop.stop();
}

or

on (release) {
'GuitarLoop'.stop("Scene 3", "Layer 3", 1)
}

is it something like that?

also this is a looped sound.

Play Sound/stop Sound Button
i want to make a single button to play a sound, and if pressed again, stop the sound. and if pressed again, play the sound, and so on...
i know it has to be made with a boolean variable, true/false, but i just can't figure out how.
any help?
thank you very much.

Rotating Menu/ How To Prevent Button Sound When Button Is Under Another Layer
I have a rotating menu on my site. The menu buttons have a sound effect when they are rolled over.. I have a layer overtop of the rotating menu, but the buttons still rollover (and that sets off the sound effect.) when they are hidden by the top layer. How can I prevent this? It there any _x _y actionscripting that I can do to prevent this?

Here is the site if you want to see what I'm talking about:

Mute All Sounds Button / Resume Playing Sound Button
Hi there gang!

ok i dont know how exactly to do this..so i need some help, a fla file for this kinda thing would be super if you happen to have the solution.

Ive done about a 5 mins flash presentation with audio speak for that duration, the speak itself is cut up into about 36 seperate wav files on the timeline. ANyhow i would like a MUTE button that when click would mute the sound...BUT!

Important thing is that if the viewer decides to click it again at anytime and wants to hear the speak, it should resume from where you are currently going on the timeline..this is streaming speak which is in sync with animations.

I could use a Stop all sounds commmand but then thats not quite enough..would like to also have the option to resume speak and in sync from where you are currently..

The file is here and is almost done..exe file link:

http://www.beats.midnightsunrecordin..._LtY/LtY20.exe

Im in quite a hurry with this so if anyone has any comment please please..im crap with action script so an FLA for normal MX would be helpful..

many thanks!

i've created three separate buttons in three separate layers. i've also added three music files in three more layers. how can i get it so one button plays one music file and another button plays a different music file? i've tried putting "goto and play" for each button in actionscript but it doesn't seem to help.

Sound Button..."down" While Sound Plays
I've searched and searched but can find no example of what I'm looking for...maybe someone here could point me in the right direction.

I need a button that will play a sound when pressed and will stay engaged (down) while the sound plays (regardless of where I move the mouse). When the sound is complete, the button returns to it's first position.

Any ideas?

Sound On/off Button? Anyone?
hi

I am making a movie with several sound effects all inside different buttons. I would like to make a sound on off button to enable the viewer to turn off the sound if he/she wishes.

Right now I have a movie with both an on and off button inside it on the main time line that if you press the off button it then shows the on and vice versa. However I have not been able to come up with the actionscripting to contol the sounds.

I have a feeling that i somehow use the line stopAllSound, but I don't know where and i dont' know how.

Please help,
Michelle

Sound Button
I have a site wich I divided into separate movies but there's a sound button I want to put in so the music keeps playing as I change from movie to movie, not like it's right now where if you go to another movie it automatically shuts down and the only way to turn it on again is to click it.

for any help you may have on the matter thanks

Sound On/off Button
Okay... I used the 'on mouse event> press> stop all sounds' for my stop button, but I can't find an equivalent to start my music again... Is there one?

Also, If anyone can tell me the difference between flash 5 (which i have) and MX it would be nice... Is it worth upgrading?

Cheers

.wav Or Mp3 For Button Sound?
I've got some sounds in my Flash movie that are currently .wav files. They play when the navigation buttons are rolled over and clicked on.

Because of the size of the files, it's causing a problem when the movie loads, so I'm thinking I need to either stream the sound or drastically reduce audio quality to make the files smaller.

Is there a way to have the preloader ignore loading those files and go directly to the main movie (which is an animated building of the nav menu) when everything else is loaded? That way, the nav menu can visually build and it doesn't matter if the button sounds are loaded or not until the user actually tries to press a button.

As an alternate solution, would mp3 be a better format to use? Smaller in size?

Or maybe there's a better way to do all this? All I know is that when I test the movie at 56kbs, it comes to a crashing halt when the buttons are being loaded, and takes way too long to catch up.

Thanks for your advice!

(F5) Button And Sound Help Please
(Flash 5)

Ok guys, I am trying to get a button to work by pressing keys.

Problem 1) I want the keys that are pressed to be `,1,2,3,etc... and those keys aren't in Flash's actions, can they still work? Or do I have to use keys like SPACE, RETURN, etc...???

Problem 2) Here is the code I'm using. I also want a sound to be played while the button is going down. The sound is in the "down" of the button, but I linked it. THe linkage name is "sound1" here is the code;

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
with (sound1) {
play ();
}
}
}

What is wrong?

Thanks

Button Sound
I am looking for a "good" tutorial on how to effectively apply a sound to a button.

A person suggested the following method, which seems to be solid, but I have not been able to recreate it successfully.

Here's the method:

1. using the "linkage" option on the sound and assigning an identifier name such as rollOver1

2. then in the first frame placing:
rollOver=new Sound (rollOver);
rollOver.attachSound("rollOver1");

3. then creating a blank movie clip and dragging it to the stage, giving it an instance name of rollOver

4. finally, adding this code to each instance of the button :
on(rollOver){
_root.rollOver.start();
}
on(rollOut){
_root.rollOver.stop();
}

How Add Sound To Button?
Hi helper,

could u tell me how to add sound to
a button?

Thanks

Sound On/off Button
Hi, In my main swf a soundloop gets loaded into level1.(It"s actually a swf file).I have 4 buttons in the main swf.They each load a soundloop into level1.First the code unloads the content wich is stored in level 1 and loads it with a new one(swf) into level1.This way I could use different sound for each button.

Problem is in the main swf I want to add a new button.A sound off ,sound on button.If I press the button, content in level1 should be unloaded.This is no prob only when I hit but1 ...4 it loads new content into level1.How can I script this so when hitting the sound/off button it prevents from loading content into level1 when
I hit one of the 4 buttons.

btw here's the code I used on these buttons(4 buttons)
/ button1 for song 1
on(release){
_level1.unloadMovie(); // empty old song from level 1
loadMovieNum("soundloop1.swf",1); // load new song in level 1
}

Big thx in advance,grtz

Help With Button Sound
I have a button that plays a sound on rollover. Problem is, that when I press the button it plays the sound again. With the rollover sound being that of a human voice, it can get annoying hearing the sound twice in a row. Once for rollover and once for click. Am I missing some code to make this stop. My general code is this:

on(press){
_root.gotoAndStop("section2");
stopAllSounds();
}

The stopAllSounds(); command works fine to stop the sound of it repeting on rollovers but something is missing. Does this makes sense?

Sound Button Help
I have a program where I am adding onle of those "talker"things on it (one of those things where you click on the button and it says what you click on). Well I am having trouble getting the sound to play with the click of the button. Isn't their a way to add a code into the action script where it will play that sound and stay on the same page?
Thanks for the help!

Sound On/off Button
hi. right, i've got a problem with a sound on/off switch, firstly i'd like the sound to play when the scene is entered but the code i'm useing means you have to press the on/off button to get it to play, i've played about with the code but all i can get it to do isplay about 30 different samples all at once, this i think is a symtom of the seconed problem.
secondly, when you click the on/off button to turn it off, the sound repeates so you have multiples of the loop playing rather than it turning off. if anyone could help me with this i'd be eternally greatfull. this is the code i'm useing:

Code:
on the first frame:

mySound = new Sound();
mySound.attachSound("koala");

isSoundPlaying = true;

Code:
on the button:

on (press) {
if (_root.isSoundPlaying) {
_root.mySound.stop();
_root.isSoundPlaying = false;
} else {
_root.isSoundPlaying = true;
_root.mySound.start(0,1000);
}
}

thx, Squid.

Sound On And Off Button
I'm trying to make a sound on and sound off button. Once you click on the sound on button, I want the button to change appearance for the off state. THen I want it to go back to the on state when the user clicks again. Also, I have looping sounds and when you put a stop all sounds action on the button, sounds stop for a few seconds and then come back on. Any help?

Sound On Off Button Help
hi guys bit of a newbie, need some help please.

got an animation looping with 4 synced event sounds.

what i want to do is create a simple button that turns off all sound when clicked but allows the animation to continue, then turns sound back on when clicked, so it is still in sync with the animation.

I have a coloured button which I simply want to change to another colour when clicked, and then back when clicked again, turning the sound off and on. Do I need 2 buttons for this or can I combine them somehow with scripting?

I have an inkling I may have to combine movie scripts and complex scripting, and maybe sound objects, which I've heard of but never used, but get a bit lost beyond the basics and so I'm making it up as I go along.

Any help would be appreciated, as I gotta show the animation to an important someone tomorrow, and an on/off switch for the sound would definitely make for more impress points.

thanx

Button/sound Help
Hi,

I've been asked to work on a Flash project without any Flash background and need help badly.

I need to create a way for a student to take a test only once by clicking on a button to hear a .wav file.

I have a button, that once clicked, will begin streaming audio. The problem is replacing that "start" button with "done" button that returns the student to the web site. We don't want the student to be able to start the audio over again and retake the test.

Just a point in the right direction would be very helpful and appreciated.

Thanks.
