Animation And Audio Timing Problems.


This has me baffled to no end. I have a flash file that's behaving rather odd. Even the original author doesn't have an answer. I work on a WinXP system, if that matters. When I test the movie within Flash CS3, it works as expected: the animations ends as the audio fades out. When I publish it, and I open it up in Firefox, it works as expected. But that's where it ends. On the same machine, if I view it in Internet Explorer, the animation takes longer - it plays slower. Consequently the audio ends before the animation is done.

I've tried multiple WinXP machines, they all do the same thing. In Firefox it works as expected and the same way as previewed within Flash CS3. But, viewing it in IE, and the animation plays longer.

Wanna see it for yourself? Look at the original author's page:
http://www.flashmo.com/preview/flashmo_137_intro/

Open it up in IE and Firefox, side by side if you can. Does it play correctly in both (animation ends as the music fades) ?

Suggestions anyone?

Video/audio Timing.
Hey. I'm having trouble importing a video into flash. The source file is fine although after I import it the audio starts to lag behind the video. Or maybe the video is playing too fast? I tried importing the video and audio as seperate tracks but the same thing happens. Any ideas as to why this might be happening? Thanks in advance.

Speech Audio Setting Effects Timing
I'm having a timing issue when using the speech setting in the audio settings.

If I use the "mp3" setting for the audio setting in the publish dialogue, my narration (which is set to stream - not event, so synch should stay tight), timing is just as I designed it. However, if I set the audio setting to "speech" (in order to bring the .swf file size down), the timing goes way astray. Nothing else changes (the audio files are still set to stream, not event), and yet the audio loses its critical timing.

Anyone else run into this problem, and more importantly, is there a fix?

Speech Setting Ruins Audio Timing
I'm struggling with a glitch in Flash 8. I have narration in my flash program, with each audio file placed in the timeline set to Streaming (for better synch than Event).

In the Publish settings, if I set the sound export setting to "MP3", timing is perfect, just the way I created it. However, if I set the export setting to "Speech", all the audio's timing is suddenly way out of synch.

I want to use the Speech setting since it results in good sounding audio at half the file size for the final .swf, but this timing issue makes it non-usable.

Any suggestions?

Animation Timing
I'm having trouble coordinating my animation frames with sounds or playbacks. Depending on the computer playing it back, it's usually either faster or slower then I want it to be. Does anyone know of a way to better synchronize sound and animation?

Timing And Animation
Hi,

I have 7 animations I want to trigger. They should be x seconds apart, is there a better way than to setup 7 timers and 7 eventlisteners. The animateButton method takes a start and end x postion. I have 7 of these (see below) but I want to stagger them so they don't all trigger at once.

about_but.animateButton (0, 0);
contact_but.animateButton (20, 127);
equipment_but.animateButton (80, 254);
//etc etc.

Timing Animation Done In Action Script
I'm trying to make a webpage using flash and I can't seem to time my animations just right.

I have already animated my background and frames via scripting and placed an alpha on my button for effects.

But they all appear at the same time.

I want my background to full load first before my button appears on screen.

[timing] Function Timing - Delay In Script
Hi all,

Back again to find help provided by helpfull flashers

Right now i have the following script


PHP Code:



var speed = 20;
MovieClip.prototype.slideIt = function(whereX) {
    this.onEnterFrame = function() {
        this._x += (whereX-this._x)/speed;
        if (Math.abs(this._x-whereX)<1) {
            this._x = whereX;
            delete this.onEnterFrame;
        }
    };
};

green.onRollOver = function() {    
    blue.slideIt(520);
    red.slideIt(550);
};
green.onRollOut = function() {
    blue.slideIt(193);
    red.slideIt(386);
}; 





What i want to do is pretty simple, i want the onRollOver to be delayed for a few seconds before it runs the slideIt script.

I searched on kirupa for similar actions and found this

http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47450

but how can i implement this in my own script ? tried a few things but all it does is either nothing or even more nothing ...

Need some help on this - Thanks in advance

But it looks fine while in the actual flash program.......

Synchronizing Animation To Audio...
I need to create an animation and synchronize it to an audio track.

Sync Audio With Animation
Hi -

I'm not sure I can accomplish this with Flash (8 - AS2) so I thought I'd run it by some experts first.
I have to re-build a 5 minute narrated animation. The original version is an 800x600 After Effects project, exported as MOV, then converted into FLV. The file size was so big that I eventually broke the MOV into 5 "chapters" and made 5 FLVs. The audio narration was a layer in the AE project and tightly sync'd with the animation. This worked great except that the conversion/compression to FLV yielded either very large files or really crappy looking files. So this time I thought I would make the animation in Flash, and not use FLVs at all, but I'm in the dark about how to sync the audio (did I mention it had to match the animation closely?). In addition to that, the user still must have Play/Pause/Rewind control that FLVs can provide.

What's the best way to do this? Should I embed the audio into its own FLA layer or is there a way to lock in a separate AIFF (or whatever kind of audio format) ? Or maybe this is not the way to go at all?

I'd appreciate some expert direction - or warning - before I tread too far down the wrong path.

TIA your input.

What The Best Way To Match Audio To Animation?
I just got a contract in which they give me voiceovers and I create animation in sync. My problem with these sort of presentations in the past has been that I put the mp3 in the timeline and start the animation where I think the sound is. BUT, depending on what computer I'm on or the kind of bandwidth I'm using, the presentation might be a little off.

So that being said... Is there a better way to sync sound and animation in Flash. TimeCode reading or anything? Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

How Do I Synch Animation To Audio?
Hi there.

I am searching this board to finswer to a relatively simple question. I will ask this question in the form of what I want to accomplish:

I have a 2:44 long audio clip.
This clip has 3 tempo changes, each tempo is a different portion of the movie.
I want the animation to depend on the audio, so if the audio makes it to the change in tempo before the animation does, there is a script that tell the playback head to go to "xlocation" in the timeline.

I have done this in Director with a script that was a little like this:
On CuePass "bob"
go to "bobs marker"
End

So, the question is - how do I do this in Flash MX?
(I have a 3 day deadline!!! )

Thanx for all your help!

Looping Animation And Audio
Hi all,

I just searched the forum for this but came up with a solution that wasn't relevent to this particular instance.

I have an animation that is a 26 second audio loop with some flash animation accompanying it. The audio file is imported into the libary and then set as streaming on frame 1.

For those of you familiar with weebls-stuff.com you will know that the animations loop endlessly and seamlessly. HOw would I get this effect on my animation.

Audio/sound And Looping Animation
Hello all.

This is my first post so please bear with me if i am not 100% up to speed on the lingo or etiquette here.

I have a small flash question which related to playing audio and syncing to animation. Always a headache.

I have a flash movie that is not heavy on the graphics but i do have some major audio the need to sync with some of the graphics.
Given different processor speed out there i know this is a difficult thing. However what I thinking of doing is this:

1. play the movie, the animation starts then the audio.
2. at this point i start a timer that loops the animation for a duration of the audio
3. when the audio is done or rather when the timer has reached the set time (length of the audio) the animation can continue and the loop ends.


Sounds good right?

Ok. well here is my problem. I have no idea how to implement it. lol.

Can anyone help? Please....

Thanks.

How Can I Get Audio Clips From A DVD To Use In My Flash MX Animation?
Hi, Im making a tribute flash to a few movies and I wanted to get some clips from movies so I can use them in my flash.

I've managed to learn how to rip the vob files from the DVD's. The VOb files only play in PowerDVD and they dont have video for some reason, but I dont care, Im interested in ripping the sound and the visuals are not too huge of a concern for me (if at all)

however I can't seem to find this AC3 file everyone talks abouut. I tried ripping from the DVD again and all I get are VOB files. AC3 seems to be non-existent. This is strange because VOb files are supposed to be video files I guesss and and yet I only get VOB files that only contain audio.


does anyone know how I can eget audio from a movie?
The movie is Equilibrium if that helpps at all and theere IS no soundtrack available for that movie..one of many reasons for this difficulty. if you know anything I'll totallly appreciate it because I've downloaded a bunch of free software to edit DVd stuff and none of t hem seem to be working out. getting the VOB off the DVD was the furthest i've gotten and still it seems like the day I can get audio clips from movies to be far far away.

When I play it in Flash MX 2004 pro it syncs perfectly. However, when I export it and play it, the syncing of the graphic portion falls behind about 1 second.

What's causing this?
How can I correct it?

Making Sure Animation Syncs With Audio?
I'm working on a small "intro" animation for a band, pretty straight-forward stuff. They want a music clip playing and some words and photos animated during it. I had worked on it so that when previewing the animation in Flash, all of my small animation events synced up with different points in the music clip. However, once uploading the exported version and viewing it online, stuff does NOT sync up at all. Is there any easy to make sure that what I have going on in the timeline occurs when I want it to in the audio clip?

Flash Audio Without Animation Problem
Here's my delima. I have an opening flash movie (audio and animation) that loads on the homepage of my website...nothing special. When the site first loads both the audio and animation are working properly. If i click off the homepage via a link to go into the site and afterwards either click the homepage link or click the broswer's back button to get back to the homepage, I am able to hear the audio of the flash movie but I can no longer see the "animation". But if I dump the cached files on my system and then refresh the page, everything works fine again. There's no advanced ActionScript in the movie.

Has anyone experienced this issue? Any suggestions on what might be happening here?

Syncing Speech Audio With Animation?
Hello... Im just starting to experiment with flash animations, and Im having trouble timing speech and audio tracks in my cartoons. What I've been doing is recording an mp3 file with the character's lines on a seperate layer, and then doing a 'frame by frame' animation of his mouth moving on another layer. When I test the movie within Flash MX (ctrl-enter) it syncs up perfect, but when I export the file and preview it a browser, the audio plays much faster than the animations do.

Say, for example I have a cartoon made at 20fps, and an mp3 track that is 10 seconds long. I will insert the 10 sec mp3 on one layer, and on another layer, I will draw an animation of the characters mouth moving. The animation of the mouth moving is 200 frames long (20fps*10sec), and it plays out perfectly in the preview in Flash MX. But when I look at it in a browser, the audio finishes playing in the regular 10 seconds, but the animation takes 15 seconds to play, so the mouth keeps moving for 5 seconds after the audio stops. It looks dumb.

Can anybody tell me the proper way to animate a character talking? Am I on the right track, or is this just a dumb idea to begin with? heheh...

Thanks in advance-- Andrew

Audio Not Matching Flash Animation
Hello--
When I worked on my flash file, the audio and animation matched perfectly. Now I open the file to export the movie and they are not matching (the animation moves faster than the audio). I remember there is a setting somewhere in flash that makes audio and video match when you export, but I cannot find it. What can I do to synch the audio and animation?

Can Embedded Audio Be Longer Than Animation?
Okay, may sound silly, but forgive.

I have a very simple animation that runs 48 frames and loops. But the audio bed beneath it is considerably longer. When playing in Flash, the audio loops on top of itself everytime the animation loops.

So instead of playing the audio from Flash, I emebedded it in an HTML page via Dreamweaver on the same page that loads the SWF, which works fine. The only trouble is that when a certain button is pushed, I need to be able to stop the sound (and the animation).

Is that doable?

Still rough, but the page is www.dreamlogicpictures.com. When you hit the "trailer" link, I need the BG audio and the animation to stop. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

[F8] Problem With Audio Syncing Up To Animation
I'm using flash to make an animated film -- no actionscripting, no game inside, no buttons or anything. I'm just using it as an animation tool.

Anyway, I've plugged in some rough sound effects for my rough animatic and every time i test the movie or export it (swf or mov) the sound effects at certain points just cease to line up with where i have put them on the timeline. I've gone back through to double check and make sure i have them lined up properly in the flash timeline and they are lined up in the right spot. I can't figure out why it continually refuses to line up properly. By the end of the animatic the sound stops a good 30 seconds beforehand because the sound plays faster than the animation does.

Can anyone help? I have everything set on individual frames set to stream (0).

HELP Audio And Animation Sync Problem
hi all,

I have built a project that uses a minute long audio clip along with animation that is synched to the audio. I have the audio set to stream and it sync's just fine.

When i pause and then resume sending a stop(); and a play(); to the time line. the audio and animation picks up where it stopped but the audio is ahead of the animation losing its sync. It pauses just fine and it starts back up just fine. but upon resuming play why is the animation lagging or why is the audio starting ahead of the animation if they are both on the same timeline that i am stoping then playing. if i don't pause it, the sync is fine. It's when i pause and then play that they are falling out of sync.

Please HELP... thanks

Syncing Audio To Animation In Flash 8
Hello All,

I am currently working on a project that requires me to sync dialog in a voice-over with text animations. When I view the file on my computer, everything is synced up perfectly. But on computers with a slower processing speed, there is a discrepancy between the timing.

I am using the following actionscript to start the audio in a frame script.


Code:
intro_audio = new Sound();
intro_audio.attachSound("intro");
intro_audio.start();
Is there anything I can do to ensure that the timing is standardized on any computer it is played on?

Thanks!

Accurately Jumping Around In Animation/audio
Hey guys, I'm learning AS3 as I modernize the VCR controls for our e-learning topics. The way we used to do it was load the wav into the timeline and keyframe to the audio. We have a little tracker bar you can click on to jump around, a tracker icon you can drag, play/pause and FF/RW buttons. In AS2, since the wav was in the timeline, I just had to worry about frame numbers.

It seems like the modern way to do it is to load the audio as an MP3 externally. How accurate will this be as far as sync'ing the audio to the animation when using the tracker bar and jumping around? I'll basically be mathematically slicing the bar graphic into pieces and using that to tell the animation what frame to start on, and converting that to a time for the audio to start. Will this work? Thanks, still figuring AS3 out as I go here!

also, does anyone know a good tutorial for an audio/video player? while the cd is spinning, i want either an audio or video clip to play with play, stop, and pause capabilities with a dynamic textbox displaying the info of what is playing.

if anyone has any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated! thanks!

Audio Streaming Throughout Long Flash Animation.
Ok, I've searched this board for something to answer my question. However, one thing I did find out is that there is an abundance of people who don't know that they must set their audio settings to STREAM instead of EVENT in order to sync up a Flash movie. Ok, now onto my question. I have a long animation with audio that is set to STREAM. However, when played in SWF, the audio slowly goes out of sync. I found some posts asking this same question but I did not decipher any answer from them. I tried putting an action of PLAY() in my movie timeline, but that doesn't work either. Is there any solution to this... also, I won't resort to breaking my animation in seperate scenes and using LOAD MOVIE. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Audio/movie Clip Animation - Stumped
I am using flash mx2004 and am having some toruble figuring this out...

I have a sound object loaded via linkage that is also tied into some button controls (ff, rev,play, stop) as well as an animation loaded into a movie clip that is synced with the audio.

The buttons work to pause/play/rev/ff the audio but not for the movie clip.

How does one get the buttons to work in conjunction with the audio/button configuration ie audio is paused and movie clip is paused on certain frame and both resume from where they are?

in the movie clip (instance name = spinner) in keyframe 1 action script code stop(); so not to play the animation until the play button is pressed

code on play button:
on (press) {
if (playing!=true) {
_root.myMusic.start(myMusicPosition,0);
//_root.spinner.gotoAndPlay(2);
playing=true;
}
}

code in frame 1 main time line:
this.onEnterFrame = function () {
myMusicDurationText=_root.myMusic.duration/1000;
myMusicPositionText=_root.myMusic.position/1000;
//
//Reverse
if (REV==1 && myMusicPosition>0) {
_root.myMusic.stop("myMusic01");
myMusicPosition=myMusicPosition-.5;
_root.myMusic.start(myMusicPosition,0);
}
revButton.onPress = function () {
REV=1;
myMusicPosition=_root.myMusic.position/1000;
//
}
revButton.onRelease = function () {
REV=0
}
//Fast Forward
if (FF==1 && myMusic.position<myMusic.duration) {
_root.myMusic.stop("myMusic01");
myMusicPosition=myMusicPosition+.5;
_root.myMusic.start(myMusicPosition,0);
}
FFButton.onPress = function () {
FF=1;
myMusicPosition=_root.myMusic.position/1000;
}
FFButton.onRelease = function () {
FF=0
}
//
}

[F8] Audio Problem With Animation Not Playing In Scene 14 (HELP)
I have a flash animation with 15 scenes. 1st should be a preloader which I don't think is working, but my problem is with scene 14 Summary screen. All of the prior scenes are animating correctly. They need to have their mouse pointer pointing at various items exactly when they are mentioned in their respective audio files. I have 14 audio files all compressed mp3 files saved at 64kbps. The very last scene has a large 151 second audio file. I need to animate the mouse pointer pointing at the address around 20 seconds into the animation and to a url address on the bottom toward the end. In flash I have the mouse animated, but when I export the swf it stops animating after 2 seconds when the audio starts. Someone PLEASE help me!! This is due tomorrow at 12 noon. I have never seen this problem with audio and I've used flash for many years.

If you would like to take a look at the .fla please e-mail me at ImCoolToo@aol.com as the .fla is 8mb in size. The swf it makes is only 3.73mb.

Thanks for ANY help!

Import .swf Into PowerPoint.. Audio To Animation Synchronization Problem
Here's another synchronization issue ...

We have created an animation in Flash MX (audio runs in sync with animation when playing as standalone .swf or as projector file) and we wanted to import this as ActiveX object into Powerpoint.

The animation opens fine, but after 5-10 seconds, the sound runs slower than the animation, right up until the end, in a way similar to what we reported about a month ago in another thread (about sync between audio and animation when playing it on different computers).

Does anyone have any idea as to why this might be and how to fix it?

Also, when using programs to create .avi from .swf (Flash to Video Encoder Pro), the same lag appears when playing the .avi file. Is this because the pc (Pentium 4, 3 GHz) is slowing down because two programs are running at the same time (PowerPoint and Flash Player) or is there another reason?

Thanks for taking the time to browse through this post and perhaps send some info our way!

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.

Audio & Animation Is Synced In Flash Standalone Player But Not Browser?
I've run in to a plethora of problems trying to finish up a movie I've been working on, and I think the most important one is this:

When I view my movie in the standalone flash player, the audio & animation sync up fine. When I load the same .swf file into a browser (tried IE and FF so far) the audio is a few seconds ahead of the animation.

I've tried setting the audio movieclips to stream and event but it makes no difference.

This is a huge problem for this movie since it depends highly on the animation being sync'd to what the audio is saying.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated, thanks.

Can Flash Detect Realtime Audio Data? (for Linking Visuals To Audio Velocity, Etc)
I've seen a lot of Oscilloscopes for Flash but they've all been fake - they simply generate random patterns that look convincing, expecially if the sound is erratic and would produce chaotic oscilloscope feedback anyway, but they actually have no connection whatsoever to the sounds that are playing.

I've heard people claim however that real oscilloscopes can actually be made in Flash, and I was wondering if anyone could point me towards some resources for looking into it.

I have a distinct feeling that they are probably misguided or just plain incorrect anyway, but it's still a prospect that interests me a lot.

Much thanks,
pH

Audio Player That Requires Access Codes To Play Audio Files. Possible ?
LINK

I've just uploaded this rough piece of website for an upcoming band. If you click LINK you will see two flash movies. The one on the bottom is the audio player. What they want instead of JUST an audio player, is a player that plays certain "secret" audio files if you enter the correct 6 digit number. So imagine a text field and a submit button next to the < || > controls. I'm still getting to know Flash and I have no idea how to create something like this. Anyone have any advice? Any tutorials out there? Info? and finally...this IS possible right?

Thanks
