Flash :: Pausing Non-streaming Audio

Pausing Non-streaming Audio
I'm working on a tutorial with a playback controller and voice-overs. I can only get it to pause when the voice-over audio is set to 'streaming'. This is fine for the web, but I'm doing another version of this that will go on a cd, so I'd like the audio quality to be higher. I found that the quality is only higher if I choose 'start' instead of 'stream'. But if I don't use stream, then the pause doesn't work. How would I get it to pause if it's not streaming? Or how to I get better quality streaming audio? I'm trying different settings, but it doesn't sound nearly as good as the non-streaming version.

Thanks

MX Un-pausing A Streaming Mp3
I'm working on a basic mp3 player (as some of you already know).
My pause button works I think cause the sound stops hehe. But when I try to start the sound where it was paused nothing happens. Is there something about streaming mp3's that prevents you from doing anything but re-loading and stopping them? I have a demo .fla that I got fromFK and it works quite well. Whats the trick?

Pausing An Externally Streaming MP3?
I know this has been probably asked too much already, but I haven't been able to find anything concerning this....

I want a pause button to pause the playback of an externally loaded mp3 (e.g. a streaming MP3). Can this be done, and if so, how.

hint: I know how to make the button, just need the code or a point in the right direction to put into the button.

Pausing Streaming Sounds
I am building a Flash MP3 player and I'm having problems getting the Pause function to work. Here's how my sound is being played:

Code:
// streaming set to 'true'
s.loadSound(filename, true);

// this is meant to start the sound in a location that is stored in the variable "_root.pos" when the user clicks pause
s.start(_root.pos/1000);
I have verified that "_root.pos" is holding the correct values and it is. It just seems that the Flash completely ignores the s.start() command when it's a streaming sound. Is it possible to pause a streaming sound?

Pausing Streaming Video
Hello,
I need help figuring out how to pause streaming video. I am using Flash MX 2004 Professional. This is what I want to happen.
There is a video that is streaming in, when the user clicks a button, a loadmovie happens that will allow them to choose a different destination. But the video that is playing keeps running! IS there a way to pause the streaming video, have the movie load, and then restart the stream when the video unloads?
Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Scot

[F8] Pausing My Audio
Hey there.

I want to have a button (MC) that when pushed stops the music, and when pushed a second time starts the music from where it left off (essentially a pause).

I set a beginning variable, and then the following cod all in the first frame.

music = yes

_root.sndbttn.onRelease = function() {
if (music == yes) {
sndAudio.stop();
music = no;
} else {
sndAudio.start(sndAudio.position/1000);
};
}

sndbuttn is the instance name of my movie clip. sndAudio is my sound object

So as it is it stops, but doesn't start again.

What am I doing wrong?

[F8] Pausing Audio
I'm making a movie with narration and slideshow-esque visuals that go along with the narration. I'd like to let the user pause, but the traditional buttons only pause video, and not audio (and if only video is paused, then the audio -- that is, narration -- will keep going). I have many layers of images and effects, with the audio in its own layer. Is there a way to pause, stop, rewind, and fastforward both audio and video? Thanks for your help.

Pausing Audio
How do i pause an audio and then start it from where it left off....I am making a slide show for a virtual tour.

Pausing Audio
Yes I am new at this, but this should be an easy question.

In the tutorial, 'Playing sounds using actionscript' (i'm in flash cs3 but using action script 2.0) he scripted a way to play audio with:
on (release) {
kirupaSound = new Sound(this);
kirupaSound.attachSound("coolsound");
kirupaSound.start(0, 99);
}

And the button examples at the top allow the user to 'pause' the audio then resume it when the play one is hit. What script is used to make the pause button? When I try i.e kirupaSound.stop(); it will stop it completely, then hitting the play starts over from the beginning but I just want it to resumed where it was paused. Any help is much appreciated!

Pausing Audio Embedded Into A Swf
Hi,
I read all of the threads on this forum about pausing audio in a swf. They were all very helpful - if you have control over the swf fla.
However i have no control over the swf i am loading.
I cannot find a way to reference a sound that is placed on the timeline of the movie. If i had access to the fla of the swf, then i could change the linkage, but again i don't possess the fla.

so does anyone out there know of a way to reference global sounds in a swf?
In as 2.0, this could be done easily by declaring a new sound object without a target such as this: var gvol = new Sound();

I can't seem to make this work in AS3.

I need a way to reference a global sound in a swf, so i can then apply the SoundChannel to the sound object, and read the position property within

any help would be appreciated
thankin you

Flash Audio Player For Streaming Audio
I am working on our church's website and am trying to add mp3 sermons for our visitors to listen to. I have a player that I downloaded but is has some problems, for some reason it will play 2 files at the same time, sometimes it says file not found and I am not sure why. I do not have the FLA file just the SWF that was on the website for download so I can't make any changes. Can anyone tell me how to make a flash audio player with play, stop, pause, rewind and fast forward buttons. Or if anyone has a sample player that I could use for my church, I need it as small as possible and do not need a playlist. Any help would be great.

Pausing SWFs With Dynamically Loaded Audio Within Them
Hi,

I'm creating what's turning out to be a rather long PowerPoint-style presentation in which the user clicks from slide to slide and watches an animated .swf with dynamically loaded audio. Some of the sections are rather long, and I'd like to give the user the ability to pause and play by button click.

I know how to stop and start the container MC that's loading the swfs, but it doesn't stop any embedded MCs within it and more importantly doesn't pause the sound object. Is there a way to pause sound objects on a global level so the button just pauses whatever object is playing? Also, I have a few sections with FLVs loaded into the SWF. I need something that will also pause them.

I'm not looking for someone to write my code (although a short example would be greatly appreciated), just looking for a game plan of sorts. I'm running MX04 and AS2.0 (I think).

Thanks!

Pausing/restarting Both Audio And Animations Simultaneously
I want to add a pause button to a training course that features spoken word narration (wav file.) when the user clicks the pause button, I want both the audio and animations to pause, and restart from that point (not starting from the beginning of the wave file).
I went thru the tutorial "Pause a sound object" from Marius Hartman, and the pausing audio works fine. However, I can't figure out how to ALSO pause the visual animation and start that from the same point so the training course is again in sync.
Any suggestions?

F8 - Streaming Audio From Streaming Server Help

Pause Button Needed For Pausing Animation And Audio...
Well...I hope this is easier to do than I think. I'm using the Media Component to shoot off different audio files and animation along the main timeline. However....I've been told I now need a pause button. Is there anyway I can add in a button that will basically pause everything, audio and animation?

I have multiple audio files, possibly 10 at least in each lesson I'm doing. It's basically a presentation that someone will watch.

Pausing & Playing Animation W/Audio Using External Swfs
I am creating a cd presentation using flash mx 2004.

I have set up a stage.swf that includes and intro animation and a drop down with the different sections of the presentation as well as a pause and play button. (external swfs)

When the presentation begins, scene1.swf is loaded which includes animation and audio. At the end of scene1.swf I have an action that calls the next scene, scene2.swf, so on and so on, 9 scenes in total.

Using the drop down I am giving the user the ability to go to a specific section of the presentation, no problem. The problem that I am having is in being able to pause and play the animations. As I mentioned the pause and play buttons are located on the stage.swf and not with in the scene swfs because It would be insane to recreate the buttons for every scene.

So basically is there a way to control the animation and audio in external swfs?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Please help me before I pull what little hair I have left out. Can somebody give me a simple step-by-step guide to installing streaming audio into a flash file. So far, I have only been able to set it up so that it has to completely download before it plays. That takes way too long.
I Have also read about re-compressing mp3 files to make them smaller, how can I do that. I am using Swish V2 to make the swf files and I use Sonic Foundry to make the mp3 files.
I know it can be done, even with a 20 minute speach, so how do I do it?????

Trying to figure out if this can be done with Flash MX.

Thanks!

STREAMING AUDIO
Why when you STREAM an audio file does it sound worse than when you use the START or EVENT sync method? Right now I have a narration of a movie using the START method because I need the best possible audio, and if I used the STREAM method it gives the sound an echo.

Please any help would be appreciated.

I have built and mp3 player in Flash MX and have the following problem:
I'm using the loadSound method ie. tune.loadSound(tuneurl, true);
The tune loads and streams fine, but if the user wishes to stop it load a different tune, I can't find a way to stop the original one loading, causing the new tune to not stream properly due to band width limitations.

Hope somebody can help!...

Hi there, I'm currently streaming mp3's from another server with this code:

Code:
on (release){
streamer._visible = true;
stopAllSounds();
var gameSound = new Sound();
gameSound.onLoad = function (loadedOK) {
if(loadedOK) {
gameSound.start();
}
}
gameSound.loadSound("http://myserver/mymusic.mp3", false);

}
I set a mc named "streamer" to true to indicate an mp3 is streaming, but when a visitor got a phoneline modem connection (yes they excists :P) or smallband connection it takes a while before a 3mb mp3 is loaded, so what I'm lokking for is a loadbar thingy to indicate it's beeing loaded with % > when finished loading the streamer mc has to be vissible and when the mp3 is done the streamer mc has to be false...

How can I do this?

Streaming Audio
so i really like the "cleoplayer" found here on this site for a music player but there is one problem: By importing my *mp3s into the flash file it makes it REALLY huge and it will take forever to load. I want to just be able to stream the .mp3 file that is on my server through the player rather than embedding it within the player so it loads much faster. how can i do this? thanks

I am trying to stream audio from an external swf which works fine but I would like to add a pause button. I do not know how to pause an external swf loaded through levels.

Here is the code I'm working with (please see http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Au...-881/index.php):

For the play button I have:

on (release) {
unloadMovieNum(66);
loadMovieNum("song1.swf", 66);
}

For the stop button I have:

on (release) {
unloadMovieNum(66);
}

Is there any way to pause the external .swf, I am fairly new to flash and I am completely stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
