I Can Play Sounds From Xml. How Do I Only Play One Sound At A Time... Kill The Other
Code:
var mysound:Sound = new Sound();
mysound.loadSound(arVocab[_global.nCurrentWord-1][6], true);
This will play a sound but when I go to another question in my test the old sound still plays while the new sound starts.

How do I kill the old sound? When the new sound loads?

How To Play A Sound For 6 Times With Set Play Interval?
Hi,

I know how to play a sound effect:

Quote:

var mySoundReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("laser.mp3");
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();

mySound.load(mySoundReq);

mySound.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, playSong);

function playSong(event:Event):void {
mySound.play();
}

The above sound effect play only one time. Actually I wish to play the sound effect for 6 times and at a set play interval (e.g. play the sound effect, wait 2 seconds, play again, wait another 2 seconds......). How can I do that?

I am thinking to use a Timer object. However I have no idea how to link with the playSong function.

Thanks and best regards

}

on the button and:

if (forward eq "1") {
tellTarget ("/time") {
nextFrame();
}
}

on the first frame of the 'forward' movie

I would like sound to happen when you press the button and stop when you realease the button

but I not sure how any help would be gratefully excepted

Background Play Issue
Hi Gang,

Well I've been flashing about for a few years now and recently I've come across a project that I need to prevent from playing whenever there isn't user focus on it.

More specifically Here's what I've got:

1. A MAIN Swf encased in an HTML Page
2. This swf loads many many other swfs (we'll call them SUBSWFS)
3. The subswfs launch portfolio pieces (some of which are complex separate swf projects)

What I need to happen is when the portfolio pieces launch -- for the MAIN SWF to COMPLETELY HALT ALL OPERATIONS until the user refocuses on that browser window by clicking on it.

I know Director has something built into it "stop from playing in background"
Where if a user ISN'T on the window w/the project, It halts itself, else it starts itself.
But I can't find ANY documentation on how to achieve this in flash

In regards to attempting to solve this:

My thought was that at launch time, the swf would issue a stop call to itself, AND THEN the HTML page would do the focus detect and reinitialize playback on the swf (But is this even possible with a ton of multi loading swfs???)
I guess I'm just not certain if I'm headed in the right direction!!!

At any rate I hope someone out there can help me out!

Thanks All Y'Alll!

Sound Overlap When 2 Swf Play Sound At The Same Time P R O B L E M
Figure this:

I sen to my clients via mail an regular html with a swf embebed. They recibe the html and the flash starts playing the loop sound. Therere are, also the loop, severals sound trigered in different parts of the swf file.

the problem starts when my clients double click in the outlook inbox and the html pops up and there we have 2 html with 2 swf playing sound at the same time.

I tried stop all sounds at the begining of the movie. but it only stops the loop sound but not the trigered sounds of the rest of the time line.

is there a way to stop the sound of the first swf when the second pop up?

anyone?

sound2.start();
}

thanks in advance.

Mute Background Music To Play The VIDEO
hey guys,

I have Googled my issue and came up with this POST to the exact same problem I am currently having but unfortunately, I am not enough of a flash expert to understand how to change this on my 'flash template' and how to successfully mute the background music as my VIDEO starts to play.

If anyone could help me out, that would be much much appreciated!!

I have uploaded my FLA file so that you can see what the problem is:

http://www.affairthemovie.com/main1.fla

The background music is set as per TEMPLATE that I got. I would like to add a quicktime movie to the website, under the page titled "TRAILER" - and have tried to do so myself by adding the QUICKTIME to the project through another SWF that I got elsewhere (a different 'template' so to speak).

The original quicktime file that I wish to add is available here:

http://www.affairthemovie.com/qt/trailer.mov

and as a flv

http://www.affairthemovie.com/trailer1.flv
(to which it is linked to currently in the FLA above).

I'd like to be able to stop the background music when the viewer visits the TRAILER page of the site, as that is when the trailer starts to play. The music can stop abruptly, that is fine.

I'd like for the music to continue to play (either from the start, or where it was stopped) when any other pages are visited after watching of the trailer.

Thank you very much in advance!
This is my first real deal at trying to do anything in flash so I appreciate any help I can get

Play Sound#2 On Complete Of Sound#1?
I'm a total newbie when it comes to action scripting and I'm hoping someone can help me out.

I need a script that plays sound#1 and when sound#1 is over plays sound#2. Seems simple but I've been trying to figure it out without any luck.

The sound files are background music that play over a multi scene project so keyframing is not really an option.

Thanks

Sound Switch (on/off) To Play A Sound.
Hi there!

I am a begginer, and I would like to solve this:
There are 2 switches,(each one has "on" and "off" position)
But, only play the sound when the switch#1 is "on" and the switch#2 is also "on".For example if the Switch#1 is "off" and switch#2 is "on"
nothing happens, that is it!
Thanks!

Background Sound
Hello everyone
I am having a problem with a background sound. I should start by telling you that I am using MX.
I have a Flash presentation that will be distributed on CD as a projector exe. In side the presentation you can launch programs created in Director 8.5 which contain panoramas, my problem is when you launch one of these Director files it takes about 10 seconds for the program to open, during this span of time the background sound in the flash projector gets broken up and skips. I am assuming this is because it is taxing the processor, I am running a
933mhz Pentium 3 and I think it should be able to handle both tasks. It should also be known that my panoramas are using an asset for panoramas created in Realviz Stitcher. Stitcher formats the panoramas in a shockwave file. I’m not sure if this has any bearing on the problem.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I would open to any ideas, maybe something along the lines of script attached to the button that opens the panoramas to temporally pause the sound for 15 seconds or so.

Thanks Rex

Help With Background Sound :((
Hi!
I have been working at a website and I have to use a background sound. The problem is that if I go to some other frames, the sound keeps starting again and again and it's very annoying..

Is there a way to prevent the sound from starting if it is already playing?

I mean there definetly is a way, but it is very strange because I'm not calling that sound to play again in any other frame.

Background Sound
Hi all:

I have background music playing on my movie. I also have two seperate tracks that a user would have to press a play button to hear. What I'm looking for is for the background music to stop when they press the play button for the track and to resume once the track ends.

I've tried the stopallsounds code and a couple of others, that I've researched but have had no success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Background Sound?
Hey everyone,

I have a really complex animation setup with like 6 scenes and in each scene the frame action is in sections (for example, there will be a scene..then nothing..then a scene..then nothing) ...the individual sections run into 'gotoandplay' commands or others which lead to other sections here and there.

Anyways, that's not the point. The thing is, I tried putting sound behind all these sections in all these scenes but it's ridiculous because some of the sections repeat themselves or you're jumping to new sections all the time so you're constantly hearing the sound get 'cut-off' and 'repeated' and it sounds horrible.

My question is, is there a way i can just somehow put a background sound in that plays THRU everything? no matter who clicks on what or what goes where? so in essence, i would have a sound that was ONE clip..playing through it's entirety and repeating but not being effected by all the actionscripting going on with the user...

See what i'm saying?

how do i do this if this is possible?

Background Sound
Hello,
I have a background sound bite that I would only like it to play the first time the page loads, not each time. How do I set that feature.

Also, is it possible to also have the flash animate the first load also? After that, each page the consumer loads will from that point be a solid image?

Thanks Dom

Background Sound
I suppose this is an easy one:

I have a layer (layer1) with an animation that loops (frame 10 -> frame5), and another layer (layer2) that has a keyframe on 5 where a sound file starts to play. Now, the sound file loops together with the animation, but I want it to continue playing without looping. How can I do that? I want to add more layers that aren't looping...

Thanks!

Background Sound In One Frame Alone?
I have a three-frame game, and I wan't music in the
second frame alone. How do I do this? Everything I
try it keeps playing through to the third, and
if the user "plays again" the background music
plays twice over itself.

stopAllSound worked in the third frame, but it killed
my "game over" sound.

Different Background Sound Options
Hello Flashers,

I was wondering if it was possible to give the end user an option to choose from 4 different background sounds?

I believe I want to have 4 buttons for this, but all in one movie if that is the best way to do it? I am not yet familiar with sounds yet using actionscript as I am still new to all this.

I want to have the 4 separate buttons (one for each sound .wav and have each one loop continuously) and an "on" and "off" button in the same main movie if that makes sense? I can pull the on and off buttons from the flash mx library and I will make up 4 buttons for the sounds, I just need the code if possible to put all this together if anyone can help me?

I thank you all very much

Control The Background Sound
I have an swf movie (Like a talking head). I am loading this movie on my main timeline. But I have a background music on this main timeline. I would like to make my main movie's music to fadeout while this talking head movie is on the main timeline. The moment the talking head movie comes to an end, I want the main music to play normally. Is this possible? I hope I am clear.
Thank you very much!

How Fade The Background Sound?
Hello everyone, this is my first message here.

I am starting a project, and I have been having a bit of trouble. I am fairly new to flash.

I have made a list of scenes, added a background sound in the first scene. And it loops in the background, which is what I want.

But when a user clicks on a button in another scene, I want this sound to fade away. I Actually want it to quietly play int he background, while a new sound plays in the foreground. Then when the user clicks out of the current button, I want the background to fade back up.

Also, While the foreground sound is playing, i am trying to make a pause, play, stop button(i know those), but i want to have a timeline slider that the user can click and drag in order to rewind the sound.

Anyone know how I can do this?

Thank you

Background Sound Loops
Hi,

my sites use a swf that contains 1 mp3. Lets call it bgsound1.swf.
The viewer can skip songs by clicking a button, the button will load a new swf. Lets call that bgsound2.swf

But I want the bgsound1.swf to automatically go to bgsound2.swf as soon as the mp3 has finished (now it just continuesly keeps looping if the mp3 is finished). How do I tell my movie that he must load the second movie. How does the swf knows when the mp3 is finished? I havent got a clue.

who can help me there?

Worrisome Background Sound..PLEASE HELP
HEllo everyone...Well am a newbie to this forum...and am in need of some desperate help....let me lay it out for you.....i have made a flash MX 2004 presentation (swf) with a lot of scenes and a voice over in each scene. It also opens full screen. It was all good till my client asked me to put a background song. Now heres my problem....As i have the voice over in each scene....at the end of each scene i have put "stop all sounds" .if i remove this the voice over continues on to the next scene.....so now i need to put this BG sound without changing anything else....I have read a previous thread and have come across sumthin like this

"A2: attach a movie clip to the stage in scene 1 using attachMovie and it will not be affected by scene changes. Include the sound in the mc or associate a sound object with this mc."

This could be the slution but i have to idea what it means....can some one elaborate...
Also to find a solution i tried using director MX...i imported the whole swfinto my stage and put the sound clip ....it works fine but while making a standalone out of it.....my stage goes full screen but the imported flash swf remains 800 x 600...is there anyway i can make that stretch to full screen too...If I have the answer to this then i can make it happen in director ....

Well here I am desperately awaiting some solution....Thnks in advance everyone......have a good one till then.....Ciao.

}

but when the user click the "On" button, the sound will play where the sound stop and continue playing. did you get it? i can't explain clearly sorry for that..

Load Sound In Background
Hi,

I have this Flash web template with 1 main swf and 5 external swf's, and there is a sound loop in the main swf. How can I load the sound loop in the background, while being able to navigate (load) the 5 pages? A good tutorial maybe? Or some source file to start from?

Hopefully my question won't stay unanswered as the one from link below did.
