Fading Audio Out At The End Of Scenes
I know its possible to control the volume of your audio using actionscript.

How can i make my audio fade out near the end of a scene so that its not such a sharp snap between scenes?

Audio Over Multiple Scenes
Hello all,
I am working on a simple animated audio message that shows bar graphs and such to reflect a companies quarterly earnings. This message is synched to an audio voice recording. I would like to break this message up into scenes for each animation and have the voice recording play across the multiple scnes. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Audio Across Multiple Scenes?
IS there a way to load external audio and have it play continually across multiple scenes?

In other words, even if it is just a simple short loop I don't want it to restart every time a user goes to a new scene.

Thanks!

Syncing Audio Across Scenes
I have to make a slideshow with 200 pics and an audio track. Is it possible to sync the audio (if 1 wave file is used) among the different scenes? How? Reason: I can make 10 scenes of 20 pics each. It'll be big swf but that's okay 'cause it's going on CD-ROM.

I am using 1 scene right now and different movieclips to bring in the photos externally. Not really syncing with audio, but easy solution and fast loading.

Thanks.

Audio Control Over 9 Scenes
Hello,

I have a flash file made up of 9 scenes (each contains different image sources) and for each scene there is an overall sound file controller (background audio - client wants it)

However, once the sound is turned off in one scene, when you go to another the sound starts again unless you turn it off, etc etc

This is annoying, and being a new builder to flash I dont know of another way to "fix" this so on ANY scene when you turn the sound off (it stays off) until you click on the controller again - I'm assuming (with my limited knowledge) that the sound is at the "root' level and can be manipulated from anywhere within the file that way?

How do I do that?

Switching Scenes Off-synches Audio
Hello!

I've been having a bit of trouble with switching to a scene in flash, and then once I do this, the audio slightly goes off synch with the rest of the animation. However, if I return to the original Scene. (Say, Scene 1) the audio and animation synches back to normal. I was warned from a friend that scenes can sometimes be buggy... I don't like them myself either, but it keeps things slightly organized for me.

This only happens in a finished, compiled version of the movie, and not when I test playback while editing.

I am using Flash Professional 8.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

(I can provide the .FLA file and/or the animation if you wish, just be advised it has some profanity in it.)

Spanning Streamed Audio Across Multiple Scenes?
Hey, I'm making a music video of sorts, and I'm stumped over this -- I know that when a long sound clip (i.e. a song) is synched to "event", it'll play over multiple scenes, but isn't there any way to get a long sound clip to play over multiple scenes when it's synched to "stream"? It just stops when the scene changes, and of course, if it's synched to "event", then there's the high risk of it running out of synch with the animation (which is a REAL hassle when I'm trying to lip-synch it). If there's any way to get around this, it would REALLY come in handy for me.

(Edit: Btw, I'm using Flash MX 6.0.)

Flash Audio Question: Streaming And Scenes
Flashers,

Ok so I have a flash movie that has two scenes in it. In the first frame of the first scene I play my MP3 and I have it set with no effect but with a synch of 'Stream and Loop". I do stream because I don't want there to be a wait for the download time AND I want the music to synch up perfectly with the animation - they sort of dance together (the music and animation, so I have to do Stream).

Here is my question and problem. When I upload the movie to the server and play it back the sound does start perfectly, the animation streams well and in synch with the graphics BUT when the timeline hits the second scene - the music stops for a second and then starts over - i dont want it to stop at all when it hits the second scene. What do I do to have it play on. I do still want it to repeat at the very end of scene two but I dont want it to start over in between scenes - what am I do wrong - what settings do I need?

Thanks in advance.

Audio Play/Stop Button To Stay In State Throughout Scenes
I have a movie with 13 scenes that each contain a Play Audio and Stop Audio button (symbols), as well as navigation buttons (button symbols within a movieclip). I'm trying to make 2 things happen:
1) when the user clicks the Play Audio button (no matter what scene they're in) each scene will then be triggered to play the streaming MP3 (using loadSound) as they jump from scene to scene using the nav buttons (each scene calls a different MP3)
and
2) The Play Audio will then turn into a Stop Audio button (and stay this way throughout all the scenes), which when clicked will do the exact opposite of number 1.

I've tried loading a separate audio-enabled swf (that's exactly the same as the original movie, just with loadSound action in the first frame of every scene) into an empty MC to accomplish both of the above, it works but the nav button functions do not work this way.

Did I explain this clear enough? Please help! Thanks.

Video Stops And Audio Continues - Individual Scenes Work, Together Video Freezes
This is my first flash project ever, but I think I got a handle on layers, scenes, using streamed audio, etc. The sync works for every scene when tested independently. Those exported .swf run fine. But when I try to publish the entire movie as a .swf or .exe or any other format, it always freezes at a certain point. The video stops but the audio continues.

Can anyone help me or give me an idea of where to start diagnosing the issue?

I've resorted to converting each individual .swf into .avis then combining the segments into the video that I want, but, of course, this doesn't retain the size, scalability, and quality benefits of a .swf file. Please help!

Exporting Scenes Separately And/or Importing Scenes From Other Files
does anyone know a way to import a scene from one file to another or a way to export/publish scenes separately (make each scene a different file)

Sound Across Scenes & Changing Volume In Certain Scenes..
OK, this is kind of hard for me to explain but i'll try...

I want to have a continuous sound loop over various scenes, but I want the volume to increase (i.e. fade up - and i would like it to fade rather than just suddenly turn up) during one of the scenes.. and decrease (i.e. fade out) to 0 during another scene.

On top of that, I'd like the sound loop to stop altogether when they play another audio file on the movie - then the loop resume when they return to scene 1.

Anyone able to help me here - i know it's sounds complicated but I am sure someone knows how i can do this.

Any help would be much appreciated,

thanks,
Chris

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,

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

Audio Player/playing Audio Files Externally (mp3)
I've designed the audio player with all of the necessary buttons. I'm trying to play the mp3 files in an consecutive order. I am having trouble stopping or pausing, rewinding and fast-forwarding the mp3 file. I also have a next button and a back button and I don't know how to get them to work either. I have a slider, but can't get it to work either. Please help! I tried to follow the tutorial on flash kit, but wasn't quite understanding it. I would greatly appreciate this if someone could lend their knowledge and support.

Thanks in advance!

Audio Volume Sliders For Multiple Channels Of Audio
I don't even know if this is possible, but I was wondering if there was any way you can set up volume sliders to control multiple channels of audio. For a project I'm working on I am going to have background audio and comentary. I want the user to be able to adjust the volume of both the background audio and the comentary. Is there any was I can make seperate sliders for each of those tracks of audio?
Thanks!

Stopping Audio And Starting Another Audio When Button Clicked
Hello,
I have a multiple slide document, and I want sound to stop when they click the "Next" button, and another audio clip to start. Here is what I have so far:

//audio
x = new Sound();
x.attachSound("Slide1");
x.start(0, 0);
musicplay = true;
forward_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("2");
numbering eq numbering++;
};

So I just want it to play audio clip "Slide2" when they click forward_btn, and I want "Slide1" to stop.

Thanks!

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.

Help With Audio. Can Anyone Hear The Audio On These Pages ?
Hi,

I am trying to add some sound testimonials to my site and was wondering if anyone could help. My problem is I am not all that familiar with Flash MX.
I have put up two pages through trial and error on my site
http://www.121dreamweavertutorial.com/testing123.html
http://www.121dreamweavertutorial.com/georgina.html

What I did in the second example http://www.121dreamweavertutorial.com/georgina.html was get the lady to give the testimonial as a .wav file which she then sent to me.I then went into Flash MX and exported it as a .swf file into Dreamweaver.

The problem I am having is that some people can hear the audio and some can't when entering the above pages.

I can only imagine that some people do not have the correct plugins installed. My problem is I dont know how to ensure that people can hear the testimonials, what code is needed etc.

If some one could look into these pages and see what the problem is I would be so grateful.

Regards

Stephen

Get The _x & _y Of Two Different MC In Two Different Scenes
hi guys,

i've got this problem.

I've got an MC "handpalm" in the scene 'pre'.
And a MC "automatic" in the scene 'auto'.

The MC has a complicated timeline, that creates a interaction with the user (question - answer). The MC itself can be dragged over the stage.
(it can be dropped everywhere; and be used anytime during the interaction).

At one point the movie had to jump to the next scene (this is controlled in the MC - timeline.
But the MC "auto" must be starting at the same spot where the MC "handpalm" in the first scene had been dropped.

I tried to read the _x & _y value in the last frame in the "handpalm"-timeline, and give these values to the MC "auto".
BUT IT DIDN't work !!!

I'm desperate...
Can someone help me !!!

thanx in advance

Scenes Or Swf's?
What is the most efficient way to organize flow of an entire flash site? with scenes or separate swf's? If the answer is swf's -- how do you pre-load all the different swf's?

Changes In All Scenes
hi.. got a prob with a button in a movie clip..

In mc1 I have a button that changes the color of a movieclip(mc2) on the main stage.
I also have the same mc2 in scene2. Right now i've managed to make mc2 in the stage to change but when i go to scene 2 mc2 is still the original color. I'd like it be that once i've changed it.. it changes in every scene.

i used this on the button:

on (release) {
_root.mc2Color = new Color("_root.mc2");
_root.mc2Color.setRGB(0x663300);

i already tried naming mc2 as a different instance name in scene 2 but it doesnt seem to work.

Using Scenes
How many scenes are a norm in a movie and why do I need another scene? I come from a authoring tool that uses chapters and pages. We are switching to MX!

Know Anything About Scenes?
thanks for having a look. Ive got a serious problem!!!!!

I am working with an mc that is the button control for the main scene. I am attempting to create an else if statement for a Button within the mc that says for eg. If on frame "topview1" then go to frame "topview3".

Here is what my code looks like for the button in the mc that controls the main scene:

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("topview2");
}

Any Help?

Using Scenes ?
Does anyone know if I can use the same scene in several different swfs. For example: I have a preloader in the first scene, and I wan't to put it into every external.swf to load in. Or does anyone know a better way to reuse preloaders easily? I'm learning still.

Scenes?
New to Flash, is it a good idea to avoid the use of scenes when constructing a Flash site? I am currently reading Flash MX Saavy and they are using scenes to jump around the project, but I have been told that you should not use scenes???? Any help on this is appreciated.

What are the pros/cons of using scenes? Thanx

Help With Scenes Please...
Hi guys....

My first Flash movie, and my preloader is bout to put in Scene 1 with Scene 2 being the larger completed movie....(180k).

My question....
Being a newbie, how do i get the smaller Scene 1 preloader to loop until Scene 2 is ready to go?

Any detailed description would be greatly appreciated.

Scenes
Okay, maybe I'm just tired, but for whatever reason I cannot get this action to work even though I'm running an identical script elsewhere and it works perfectly.

Okay, here goes.

On a button, I have this script:

whois.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay("limee", "limeeloaded");
};

But, it doesn't go anywhere. It should be going to the Limee scene. I'm not sure why as I have this command elsewhere between scenes and it's fine.

I also have this script on the same button, but I don't think it has anything to do with this:

whois.onRollOver = function() {
with (whois_over) {
gotoAndPlay("over");
}
};
whois.onRollOut = function() {
with (whois_over) {
gotoAndPlay("out");
}
};

Is it me? Am I just too tired?

Scenes
basic Flash movie which contains two or more scenes will play back one after another, in the order that they are listed in the Scene inspector. To make your movie more interactive and 'jump around' like I mentioned before you should use actions.

Modify> Frame> Actions (tab)
in mx there is no actuons under frame so how will i fix this becasue when i click on my button which has the action, on release goto scene #.it will also go to other scenes. and i just want it to go to that scene...

How Many Scenes Can I Have?
I have looked in the Flash MX user manual and online help and the Flash MX Bible and I can't find anything that tells me how many scenes I can have in a Flash file. Because of this, I'm assuming I can have an infinite number of scenes, but if someone could clarify this for me I would appreciate it.
I am working on a large cartoon that already has a lot of scenes and I don't want to get surprised down the road when it tells me I can't make any more. Thanks in advance.

Use Of Scenes
should i be worried if i've made an entire site without using multiple frames?

Too Many Scenes?
I'm working on a flash movie that's going to be saved onto cd for presentation purposes.
Is there a problem if I have too many different scenes in just once flash movie.exe (projector)???
I mean, I got around 10 scenes total, and might need to add a few more. I'll probably end up with 20 to 23 different scenes.
Does the loadmovie action work for .exe flash files?
If so, how do I use that? Do I break the movie into smaller ones and then just save them all on the same folder of the cd????

Scenes

Nav And Scenes...
Hey all, I have two questions:

1) I've made an intro and now the next scene the nav should get going. Now the way the intro works is that it builds up the whole layout/nav so when the next scene with links comes the layout stays exactly the same. Now I have the problem that I have an intro consisting of only movie clips, so I cant just duplicate the intro scene and use it for the "next stag" (links) since it will just replay all the movie clips, so is there a fast way I can achieve the exact same layout in scene 2 as I had at the end of scene 1?

2) I want to make a nav, very simple, text link, which brings out a drop down with more links on rollover. Now I have about 10 links and I dont feel like making the nav 10 times. Is there a way I can make one nav system and then just edit the text of the single links? (Besides duplicating one mc, that way I'd still have to make buttons of every link)

Thanks

Scenes
Ok.. well this is my 3rd topic i have posted in this forum...
my first topic was about using scenes and constructing a webpage and i wasn't sure if i should be using scenes..... so i learnt how to load movies inside other movies... for each page instead of using scenes

i had a problem... the pages would overlap the one beneath...
anyway after much frustration i put a message on this forum and.. well yeh there wasn't much i could do....

after much hussle and bussle (i just made that up ) i have come to the conclusion.... why not just use scenes... its much easyer and they don't overlap and it would save me much hassle.... now i am a bit of a n00b to flash.. so you may think i'm crazy

the way i see it is... i make my navigation bar in one scene and then duplicate this about 15 times for each page on the website.... then i can go to each individual scene and add the text and image elements.....

by the way i am using frame labels for my navigation bar.... i dunno if that helps but yeh

so basically what i'm really trying to say is... why not use scenes

Audio Scenes

hey everybody!I just need to know if there is any way to make an audio file continue through scenes smoothly. I mean, if it is playing in one scene and the scene ends it will still be playing in the next scene without any audible transition. Thanks for the help!
