How Do I Disable All Sounds Including Background Music And Button Rollover Sounds?
Hey, you don't know how long I've been on this forum last night and no one was able to help me with this. I have no clue how to do this. Basically what I want to do is create a site with a bunch of buttons with a Over State Sounds and a Down State Sounds. I have done so already with the file I have been working on at home. Now, I also have background music playing on my flash site. I already have a button that says, turn off music which is using the stop all sounds command. But now, I want a button that disables all the sounds on the whole entire site including background music and button over and down state sounds. I have tried the stop all sounds action but that DOES NOT WORK. Another action that I tired was the globalsound action where it puts the volume to 0, but all that does is stop the background music. It doesn't kill the button over and down state sounds. So what action script would I need in this case? I have been looking for this action scrpt for hours on end and havn't had any luck with anything.

Please help.

Thank You.

Rand Generate Sounds Multiple-sounds
I got background sound playing (looped) in a movieclip. How could I randomly play other sounds while the background sound is playing? No mouse actions involved here. My objective is to play other sounds while bgsound is playing at any given time or specific times.

Example: playing looped sound and have a short sound clip play when the looped bgsounds hits 20th loop.

Dunno if this is even possible, but hopefully someone can explain how and show a example. thx

Sounds.. Help Needed With Sounds And Actions..
alright i need some help on starting and stopping sound with a toggle switch, using this code on the toggle button:

on (press) {
if (music=yes) {
tellTarget ("soundtrack") {
gotoAndStop ("stop");
}
} else if (music=no) {
tellTarget ("soundtrack") {
gotoAndPlay ("go");
}
}
}

soundtrack contains 4 frames: 1st frame label = "go" actions = music="yes"
2nd frame music event is there
3rd frame action = stop
4th frame action = music="no", stop all sounds, stop

im also using an animated movie clip for a button, and im trying to when the music is off, have it animate, and when the music is on, have it still. my code for this is on the instance "clip" and is basically the same as above except it uses gotoAndStop ("raystop") if music="yes"

can anyone please tell me why none of this seems to work at all?

Linkage - Sounds Stopping Other Sounds?
Hi all,

OK

i have a Christmas Card game that i am trying to put a "jingleBell" sound to. I am using linkage. I dont know if this is the right way to do this but i have put the call to the "jinglebell" sound in a movieclip with the first frame having the following actions

===============================================
bellSound = new Sound(this);
bellSound.attachSound("bells");
bellSound.start();
===============================================

the sound is 5 seconds long and i am trying to loop the sound. My framerate is 60 fps so at the 300th frame of the jinglebell MC, i have a simple gotoAndplay (1).

I also have a cannon on the main stage - if someone not of flash mind was reading this they would think i was doolally!!!! - The cannon fires snowballs and on firing i have another linked sound "fire". the code for the snowball sound is on it's timeline and is as follows

================================================
throwSound = new Sound(this);
throwSound.attachSound("throw");
throwSound.start();
================================================

1. My jinglebell sound only plays once and does not loop again

2. Sometimes the bell sound comes back, but when the cannon is fired, the bells disappear

3. The cannon sound is always present and works as required

Any ideas as to how to get the jingle bell sound to loop and not be effected by the cannon fire sound?

I know that using ActionScript to stop a sound that is linked on the main timeline will stop all others on the main tomeline too, but the sounds here are all located within seperate movieClips.

Any help gratefully recieved

Thanks in advance

Backgrounds Sounds Vs. Button Sounds
Hi!

I have tried browsing briefly through the forum, but failed locating anything similar to my issue.

I have a background music playing, and buttons that makes different noises when you roll over them. The issue is that I can't stop ONLY the buttonsound when you scroll away from the button.

The code looks like this:
------------------------------
on (press, release) {
gotoAndStop(215);
}
on (rollOut)
{stopAllSounds();}
------------------------------

I'm aware that it is the stopAllSounds that makes all sounds stop, the key is to make a code that stops only the button sound.

Cheers!

-David

Play Sounds After Stop All Sounds
Dear all,

I have a question which I hope someone can answer: my flash animation starts immediately when a visitor comes to the page. I have a stop button which stops the animation and the sound which comes with it (speaker voice). A play button plays the animation after the stop button was pressed. But the play button only plays the animation, not the speaker voice. How do I do this? I want the sound to start were it was stopped, just like the animation.

I'm using Flash mx 2004, version 7.2

Thanks in advance for your replies

Sounds In Flash 4.0
I am using Flash 4.0 on Mac with OS9. I have imported some .aiff sound files in the Flash programme. Publishing the movie as swf file all the sounds work fine. However I want to publish the movie as projectors, both Mac and PC. The Mac version works OK with the sounds. But the PC version doesn't have any sounds at all. Any ideas how I can solve this? I have tried inporting .wav sounds (as I thought these were the PC standard format) however my Flash programme doesn't recognise .wav, only the .aiff.

Flash Sounds
I have a song in the background of my "website" that I'm working on, and I have stop(); after about 10 frames in the homepage, and then my song stops, is there anyway I can make the whole song go on that page untill someone clicks to a differnt page?

Sounds In Flash Not Doing What They Should?
I am working on a presentation in flash to be run on a laptop and a smartboard (touch sensitive screen). I have 7 scenes in my overall movie, the 3rd scene having a 7megabyte mpeg (or some sort of movie file) in it. As the movie runs after this mpeg has played, some of the sound events do not do the right thing - they either play before they should or they play extra times etc
The basic idea is that I have a button at the bottom of the screen that tells the movie to 'play' and there are 'stop' actions all the way through the whole movie ( through all the scenes ) to control the flow of the presentation.
Some of the sounds that are on a scene to come are playing on previous scene etc ????
All the sounds seem to be on the right keyframes

HELP!!

Graeme Moodie

ps The fla. file in question is over 20 meg - so I dont think I should email it to you!

Flash Sounds
Hi guys,
Bit of a self confessed Flash dumskee here.
I am trying to add an interactive tutorial content section to our website.
I've managed to build a bit of a frame in Flash that skips from label to label, playing a seperate sound in each label. The problem is that the sound from the previous area continues to play so I am getting overlap.

Is it possible to have the sound clips end when you leave the frame?

Thanks in advance.

Looking For Flash Sounds
I'm currently making a spaceship game and I need some basic sounds to go with it. Where is the best place to find .wav sound files, preferably free, also is there some type of program that will allow me to splice up and extract certain parts of a .wav file. For example, I want to play only the end of a song or .wave file. What program would I use for this?

thanks

Sounds In Flash?
Right simple enough question about flash… well flash sounds. This has frustrated me for ages now, I go off in search for all these sounds… you know the modern computer type ones that yer get on movies when someone hacks into a database or something and they get a control panel up or something. Well I have seen similar websites with very much the same sounds… some goods examples I guess would be http://probe3.com/ and http://2advanced.com/ but seeing as they deal in audio productions anyway they probably made them their selves. But anyhow where can I find a decent site with sound clips like this is there any particular place you guys go to find things like this?

Help on this would be much appreciated. Thanks very much in advance

Sounds In Flash?
Hello all,
I have a problem and now that i am online with all you I thought I would ask... I am working on a site that has buttons that make a lowbass sound when you roll over them. The problem is when I roll over the button/s fast it seams that the sound changes or hiccups. Is it that the flash player cant handle it at that speed? Is there a way to make it so this wont ever happen?
Anything will help!!!

ps any one know of sites like this but photoshop based?

Thx !!!!!!!!!!!!

Problem With Sounds On Flash 5
I have this problem. I change mp3 to wav and then I add it to library and put it on the layer. But everytime I add the sound on library It goes about 25% faster than normal. So I cant do any demos because sounds dont work. Maybe someone can help me with this problem.

Muting Sounds Help :: Flash MX
I need to kill the audio in a movie that has a narration and subsequent animation that describes what is being narrated.

The client wants a "mute" button that when clicked, would keep the movie playing while the audio is muted, and text boxes would appear instead of the audio.

The function "stop" won't work for the sound, nor will "stopallsounds" because it will just restart the sound say if someone were to hit pause and unpause the movie [pause/play is another user control].

I need an easy way to turn the sound to zero. In the main timeline i have 3 to 5 sequential sounds carry forth through the whole movie. The sounds need to be embedded in the movie and they must be a "stream" sound. I am thinking I need to be able to call all of the sounds as one item, as the movie could be playing any of the 5 sounds at a given time.

What is the best way to control the volume to zero given these circumstances?

Flash Sounds Disabled
hi guys...i need help with the sound components.

Importing Sounds Flash
I have a folder containing about 70 sfx. I tried to import them all into flash, yet only about 25 of them actually get imported properly. I get an error saying "One or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them". All the files are *.wavs, I don't know what differs between files that would stop them being able to be read. If I try to open the files normally (i.e. not in flash), they work fine. Does anyone know how I can successfully get these files into flash? Thanks/

Attaching Sounds In Flash
hey everyone,,,,, i am quite new to flash i have the abbility to make pre-loaders, navigate,and tweens ( animations and stuff). i am currently trying to work out how to attach a sound file to a graphic so that when it is moved about the screen the sound will change, also when a bouncing ball with varibles attached to it, so that when the ball collideds with something it makes a sound....

I'm not really sure what the possibilities are when working with sound in flash, also how many sound loops or files can be played at a time, in director you are able to use two sound channels but with a bit of knowlege in lingo can create a way to get up to eight, is there a way to replicate this in flash...... if there are any tutorials or any help that can be given i would be very gratefull

Controling The 8 Max Sounds Of Flash
hi everyone.
i am awear that flash mx can only handle playing 8 sounds at a time otherwise the movie will do strange thingts like slow down and stuff.... In director, 8 sounds can be played at once also but a comman can be placed to tell it to go back to the fisrt sound played and over-rite it with the current one. in director the script look something like this....

internal scripts
property p_mySound

on beginsprite me
p_mySound=1
end

on mouseUp me
--incroment by one
p_mySound = p_mySound + 1

--loop back to 1 if more than 3
if p_mySound > 3 then
p_mySound=1
end if

H_Sound string(p_mySound)
end

.........and then.................

on H_Sound rName
puppetSound random(8), rName

end

basicaly i have created something whereby a user will select more than 8 sounds to be played at once... is there a way like in director to overcome the sounds disrupting the speed of the movie???

Adding Sounds To A Flash
Hello all. First time posting but from what I have seen, this site looks pretty cool. I am sure this is here somewhere and I fully expect a little flameing for not being able to find it. But I always seem to have the worse luck finding stuff in searchs.

#1
I have only made 2 flash animations. 1 being a little stick figure that waves and then a speech bubble comes up witht he word "hi!" and 2 being a msg that comes up one letter at a time. (hard to explain other then that)

I need help with the 2nd one. It kinda has a mission imposiable theme to it and I would like to add a keyboard typeing sound effect when each letter comes up and then the mission imposiable music on the whole time in the back.

Any help would be great. I thought I found what I was looking for at some point but the comands seemed real odd so I think it was for a diffrent version of flash.

Thanks again.

Sounds Loading Too Soon In Flash CS3
I have a flash movie that has 11 scenes and the sounds are loading about 1 scene too early. I have tried switching between the the Stream option and the event option too see if there is a difference, but nothing changes (for better or worse). Each scene plays fine alone, it's just when the entire movie is exported or previewed that the problem occurs. I haven't been able to find any info online about this problem, and all my co-workers are stumped as well. This is my first animation in flash cs3. Is there something I'm missing? any info would be a big help!
Thanks in advance!
