How Do I Call Sound Files For A Sound Player Created In Flash
I want to create a sound player for a website in Flash 5. However, i do not know how to play the files without importing them into the flash movie. If i imported all of the sound files i am using, my flash file would end up being about 25meg in size. This would obviously be stupid, as it would take forever to load up. Could someone please tell me what action i eed to use to play a sound file which is stored in the same directory as the swf file.
Im only just learning flash so im not 100% sure that this is the way to do it. Is there a way of telling flash flash to only load a certain part of the movie as it is neded.
I want to create something similar to the player found at this address
http://www.newfoundglory.com/player.html

Any help you can give me would be much apreciated
Thank you

Sound.position And Sound.duration On Flash Lite 2.1
I'm using the code below to trace the position and duration of a loaded mp3 file. This works fine when I export as normal flash 9 version swf, though when I export as flash lite 2.0 or 2.1, the trace returns 0 for both position as well as duration. Here is suggested that the two members should be available for all flash lite 2.x versions. Is there a way to find the duration and position of an mp3 file in flash lite 2.x? Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you in advance,
Harry

Attach Code

var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
mySound.onLoad = function(success){
if(success == true) {
mySound.start(0, 0);
}
}
mySound.loadSound("sound.mp3");
function onEnterFrame() {
trace(mySound.duration + " " + mySound.position);
}

Turning Flash Movie Sound Off If Other Sound Begins?
Hello -

I'm not an expert Flash guy so I appreciate your help.

Currently there is a flash file with a sound file that plays continuously while a visitor is on the site. There have been new additions that add the ability to add sound files to different items.

How can I get the main flash sound turned off whenever one of the items with a new sound file begin to play?

Attach Sound, Play Sound & Stop Sound.
Hey there,

I was wondering if any of you could help me please.

I want to play a song which I have named "rundmc" The file extension is ".mp3"

I want a button to play this mp3 which I read you need to attach that sound, then play it and I want to a button to stop that sound, or preferably the play button to change into a stop button.

I've read the help files, but none of it works and I've changed the linkage for the mp3 to export for action script, but nothing works!!!

Please help,

NK.

Help Anyway To Play A Flash Movie But With Sound Muted Initially But Not From Flash?
Hello, I am currently working with a bunch of SWFs generated by Sothink's Flash Movie Encoder software (I am not the one that encodes them, another company does). I currently have a PHP page that cycles through a series of these SWF movies on 30 second intervals. These SWFs do not have any playback controls. I have a small HTML button that essentially refreshes the page and toggles a SESSION variable declared for sound on or sound off (so that it doesn't annoy the surfer). However, I do not know how to actually make the Flash SWF mute initially based on this variable. Is there a flash param that allows me to control the SWF volume? I know how to do this if I were to do it in flash, but because the files I'm working with are already pre-encoded by the software, I cannot tamper with these files and must find this alternative to muting the movies. Is there any way? Thanks.

[Flash][Tutorial Needed] How To Record Sound In Flash?
Hey guys/girls!

I want to make a new project! At the moment I play a lot on my gituar, someone said that I should make a website where I can "show" my songs etc.

But here is the problem : How do I do that!

I've been searching on google and found that it is possible to make a Flash App that can record/play sound, but I cant find any tutorial about it (or some explanation).

I also need some explanation about "Flash Communication Server", is that something like a "Apache" server but then for sound?

Sound In Flash
Okay all you wizards out there! I am new to Flash and I have a problem. I have inserted sound on a layer and I have it repeating twice, the second time with a fade out, but there is a noticeable break in the music when you view it in Netscape (not too bad in IE). Can you tell me what I need to do (probably an actionscript) to eliminate this break? Thanks all!

Flash On MAC - No Sound
I need someone who knows a good deal about flash to help me on this one:
I have an introduction (flash) for a website:

http://www.aptira.com

The issue is, is that the sound is not working. I created a function that plays the sound and lateron, fades the sound out. Works great on a PC. Below is my code:

Scene 1 (after teh preloader scene)
coolintro = new Sound(this);
coolintro.attachSound("soundloop");
coolintro.start(0, 999);

function FadeOut () {
while (coolintro.getVolume()>0) {
starttime = getTimer();
while (getTimer()<starttime+20) {
}
coolintro.setVolume(coolintro.getVolume()-2);
}
}

Scene 11

// you call the function
FadeOut ();

Is it an issue of the frames advancing before teh sound can start??? If so, what can I do to fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Sound Flash MX
Hi
I have a .swi file with "play sound" action and "stop sound" action on the scene line. This works well within Swish but when I export it to a .swf the sound begins to play immediately and I can't stop it. It plays through the entire music before the thing is under control. What am I doing wrong or what is the secret to this function ?

Help With Sound In Flash -- Again
I’m back again. I need help with this:

I’m placing narrations straight to the timeline (oh well… time is short to get this done and I could not figure it correct how to control multiple narrations with movie clips---my next step.)

Here is the bug: I have four scenes. There is one narration in the main scene. From there I can go to any other scene (through buttons).

Each scene will have three narrations along the timeline. Each one attached to a label. The first two are working perfectly. I can go next and back and the narration stops. When I go to the third narration (in sequence, after Narr 1 and Narr. 2), the narration doesn’t start. I checked everything possible, and the actions for this Narr 3 are exactly the same as the other two, and it doesn’t work.

Any idea about what’s happening? Suggestion on how to fix it?
The actionscript I add in the actions layer is, first frame of each narration:

stoppAllsounds ();
play ();

Note: I will need to repeat the same thing—three other narrations for each scene. Is there a limitation in Flash on how many frames it can load--per scene? Because of the narrations, the length of the scenes frames are very very long…

I thank and appreciate your huge help.

Sound In Flash MX
I have a site with a flash .swf file in the header. This movie has a little animation of the logo and a sound file attached to the main timeline. Nothing fancy.

My question is this.....I need this sound file to play continously throughout the entire site...a total of 5 pages. The sound file will loop but i can't have it restart with each page click..it must be a continous playing of the file regardless of what page the user goes to.

I can place the same flash movie in the header of each page but when i do that the sound file starts over again with each click to another page....

The site uses tables and not frames so i cant simply set up one flash move througout the entire site...

Is there a way of scripting the Sound object so that it will loop continously from its original start on the home page without starting over again as i navigate to a new page in the same site??

If not what do you guys recomend i do???

Thanks

Flash MX Sound On/off
I am on Flash MX and i found several stings with the info on creating an on/off button. My problem is that when I try to copy and past the code Flash generates an error that says the file must be exported as Flash 5. Can any one help? Here is the code I am trying to use.

// on the button
on (press) {
// this assumes the music is playing by default (so the first click on the button stops it, the second restarts it etc)
++count;
if (count%2) {
music.stop();
} else {
music.start(0, 9999);
// restart
}
}

// on the first frame
music = new Sound(this);
music.attachSound("Dream_tr-alteRego-2152.wav");
// and also optionally a music.start if you want the sound to play before any user interaction
music.start(0, 9999);
// loop 9999 times

Flash And Wav Sound
I need to insert a sound in a movie. The wav file is over 4 minutes long and when I insert it into the movie the sound is being cutoff at around 2 minutes. I have played the same file outside Flash and it is a full file without any problems but as soon as the file is imported into the library it will o nly play a portion of it.
Is there a way to force Flash to import/play the entire file??

Thanks,

Sound In Flash
Is it possible in Flash to synch the beats of sound files if they are activated via user interaction?

My project will involve sounds being triggered temporarily when the cursor rolls over various symbols. If one of the symbols is dragged and dropped into the target area, the sound will continue to play after the cursor is removed. If the sound loops I use contain beats, is it possible to make sure these beats play in time regardless of when the user activiates them?

Sound In Flash
as u probly know, flash mx professional hasnt made it easy as pie to put sound into a movie. im makin a short movie where a guy blows away a zombie and ra ra ra. ive got a couple of the sounds i need, and i have added them to the library. i want them to play when the guy shoots his gun (for the gunshot sound) and this is around the 15th frame in the first layer, where all my 'drawings' are. a friend of mine told me to make a second layer devoted entirely to sound, so i did. if this is wrong i can delete it, piece of cake. the sound is for a single shot gun, but i have him shooting more than once, in each keyframe, and the keyframes follow each other, no gaps. so i need the sound to play every keyframe for about 5 or 6 keyframes.

please help me. im usually very good with this sort of stuff having studied computers and crap for about 5 years at school, but this has just got me stumped.

thx in advance

Flash Sound
Hey Peoples,

I was hoping to put an end to this. I was wondering if someone could tell me what is the best way to the best quality of looping audio that you can?

Would it be formats: .wav, .mp3, or .aiff? Would I embed in the movie, or would I have it load up externally?

Also, I was hoping that someone could tell me how I could make sure the audio is silent when I enter the movie, but I still want it playing in the background, because it will fade to full volume later on in my movie.

thanx in advance for taking a look at my query.

Flash ASP CMS ..does This Sound Possible?
Hi,

Just want to know if this sounds possible

Ive got a two step form..

The first step has a flash form which a user (admin) will use to add a content for a new article. This form will be in flash. When he clicks the NEXT button the variables will be sent via the LoadVars object to an ASP page. This ASP fpage will then store the variables passed to it in sessions. It will then send a 'success' variable back to flash.

When flash recieves confirmation of success it will then call getURL(step2.asp) which should then open in the same browser window

This step 2 ASP file will NOT be using flash movie but instead will have an uploading functionality and will be a pure asp file.

After clicking the upload button on this page ... the database will then be updated (using the session variables defined previously).

Does this flow chart sound possible or am i talking crap? Cheers for your help/advice...

Flash Sound Help
I have created a flash banner for a client which it includes sound. There needs to be a button to turn on and off the sound. i have it in a MC, but the sound turns back on once the movie loops. How keep the sound off (or on if the user wants)?

Example: Someone visits the page, and wants to turn off the sound, he hits the button and even though the movie loops, the sound remains off.

The whole loop is only going to be about 20-30 seconds (if that)
I need the music to be on at first, and then if the user wants to turn it off (and stay off)

Help With Sound In Flash.
HI,

I'm new to this so i'll just start with the question. I'm currently teaching myself Flash and have stumbled on a little problem. I have created a interactive site for my uni project and at the main menu stage i have placed music on the root time line in a layer of it's own. However when i press one of my buttons that starts another animation instance on the root timeline i can still hear the sound from the main menu. I have tried adding a behaviour to the button "on release - stop all sound" but it doesn't work. I've tried looking on other sites and only have access to old Flash 4 or 5 edition books.
Can someone please help me!!!!!!!!

Many thanks
Kenny

Sound In Flash 8
Hi everybody. Could somebody help me with a sound question? I have a 2 minute mp3 which is a sample of a track from a cd. So far, I've been able to create a button that says "click here for sample" and the mp3 plays when you click it. The problem is that if you click it while the first one is playing a second sample will start at the beginning, but the first one will keep playing. So now it would be possible to click the button 100 times and have 100 samples all playing and layered on top of each other. What's the best way to fix this?

Sound And Flash CS3?
Hello group,
I did five voice overs. I saved them as WAVE, MOV and AIFF. I am importing the five voice overs on to a timeline as AIFFs. I am trying to make the keyframes work when the each voice overs starts and stops. I am having a hard time because one voice over starts before the previous voice over ends. Should I make each voice over an event or streaming? I already built the flash file so it would be kind of hard to rebuild it. Can I still make it run right with everything in the same keyframe section?
Thanks
