Pause An Event Sound
Does anyone know of a way to pause and restart an event sound or preload a stream sound to improve it's quality for flash 5? I'm working on an exe on CD, and my problem is that the quality of a stream sound sucks. The event sounds much better and would like to use it, but can't get it to work with my pause button. The sound file started as an MP3(300kb)and I tried both letting Flash recompressing it and not letting it, neither improved. I end up with a lot of static. Any help would really be appreciated!

Mute Sound/Pause Sound Button HELP
I made a button (Flash CS3, AS2 file) and want it to mute a sound called 'GuitarLoop' which I've imported and have on 'Layer 3. My button's on 'Layer 3' and I need it to mute 'GuitarLoop' when pressed.
I searched on google but didn't really find anything, soooo.... Do you know how I could fill in the blanks?
on (release) {
not_set_yet.stop()
}
I'm guessing here but...
on (release) {
GuitarLoop.stop();
}
or
on (release) {
'GuitarLoop'.stop("Scene 3", "Layer 3", 1)
}
is it something like that?
also this is a looped sound.

Pause Sound Help
Hello - I have 5 different buttons that call for 5 different music swf's to load and play when selected. I want to put a pause and play button so the viewer can pause the selected song then start it again where it left off. How would I go about putting a pause and play that represents the selected song that is playing. I guess I am asking how to target the selected song when it could be 1 of 5 different songs playing?

Sound = Motion Pause
I have a basketball bounce off the floor and then go through a hoop. The motion is very smooth. Then I added a sound when it hits the floor, and now the motion pauses right before, or sometimes after, the ball hits the floor. I got the sound from the 'common library', I think it was called 'brick drops'. Is it normal for a sound to cause motion pauses? Is there any way to prevent this?

How To Pause A Sound Then Resume?
Hi all
Does anyone know a good method of 'pausing' a timeline, then resuming, without keyframes? What I basically need to do is to pause a sound, then continue on a given command. I can't use keyframes because if you interrupt sound with a keyframe, any sounds thereafter start from their beginning. How would I stop mid-sound, then continue where it paused, if this is possible at all?
Perhaps there's an AS way to do this- linking sound for actionscript is something I'm not too well up on at the mo.
Cheers in advance.

Sound Pause Wanted-how?
Hi
I want to string together some single letter sounds to pronounce a word but the sounds are all coming in at once. How can I introduce a pausing factor?
I tried using mp3's instead of wav's- didnt work,
I tried having one sound when using 'on(press)' and the rest in 'on(release)-didnt work,
I tried lengthening the wave files to contain a silent portion at the start and end of the files, -didnt work
(I think onsoundcomplete ignores silences and only works on actual noise not the file length)
which blows my next idea of creating a blank wav file and inserting that in between,
Anyone have any ideas or functions that can add a pause/delay like in C++?. I dont want to introduce blank movie clips with a number of frames if i can avoid it.
thx people. My code is below.
///----
on(release)
{
firstLetter ();
function firstLetter()
{
audio1= new Sound();
audio1.attachSound("kuh.wav");
audio1.start(0,1);
audio1.onSoundComplete = secondLetter();
}
function secondLetter()
{
trace(" 1st letter completed");
audio2 = new Sound();
audio2.attachSound("a.wav");
audio2.start(0,1);
audio2.onSoundComplete = thirdLetter();
}
function thirdLetter()
{
trace(" 2nd letter completed");
audio3 = new Sound();
audio3.attachSound("nuh.wav");
audio3.start(0,1);
}
}

How Do I Pause And Play Sound?
I've been trying to play and pause a sound file and cannot get it to work properly. Here is the .as file I've been working on.
import flash.display.*;
import flash.media.*;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.events.*;
public class PlayPause extends Sprite{
private var mSound:Sound;
private var mChannel:SoundChannel;
private var playpauseBtn:Sprite;
private var mPlaying:Boolean = false;
private var mPosition:int;
public function PlayPause(){
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Lesson1/Lesson1.mp3");
mSound = new Sound();
mSound.load(mRequest);
mChannel = mSound.play();
mPlaying = true;
playpauseBtn = new Sprite();
addChild(playpauseBtn);
playpauseBtn.graphics.beginFill(0x993300);
playpauseBtn.graphics.drawRoundRect(0,0,30,15,10,1 0);
playpauseBtn.graphics.endFill();
playpauseBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onPlayPause);
}
public function onPlayPause(e:MouseEvent):void{
if(mPlaying){
mPosition = mChannel.position;
mChannel.stop();
}
else{
mChannel = mSound.play(mPosition);
}
mPlaying = !mPlaying;
}
}
For some reason, when movieclip is clicked it stops, but when you click it again, it plays but does not retain the position of where it left off, the button works more like a mute button.
Any suggestions????

Sound Pause And Resume
Built an audio pause/resume button. The idea is that you hit the button once and it will pause sound. Hit it again and the sound will resume right where you left off. Problem is that sometimes the button works while at other times you'll hit it and start up another instance of the same audio track so that you'll be hearing the sound doubled but half a second off. It's variable sometimes it works, sometimes not. Hoping someone can tell me what's going on here.
The specifics: I have 37 slides, each of which is accompanied by a sound bite. The sound was imported into Flash than linked and exported for ActionScript. On each slide, the audio is called by:
stop();
mySound=new Sound(this);
mySound.attachSound("25");
mySound.onSoundcomplete=function()
{
nextFrame();
};
mySound.start(0,1);
The pause button has the following ActionScript attached to it:
on(release){
if(!paused){
soundPosition=mySound.postion/1000
mySound.stop();
paused=true;
}else{
mysound.start(soundPosition,true);
paused=false;
}
}

Sound Pause & Play
<Also posted in Flash forums. My development was completely in AS3>
After many hours of trying to figure out where my bug was when trying to jump into a particular location of an audio file I've discovered the following:
In Flash Version 9,0,124,0
MP3 File Format
*less than 64 bit sample rate(stereo & mono)
*64 bit stereo(stereo)
With those MP3 file formats, calling Sound.play with a position greater than 50% of the reported length of the audio file will not work. The file will not play from that position. Even if you set the position prior to the halfway point, the channel won't report the correct current position nor fire a SOUND_COMPLETE event.
The length value is reporting the correct duration of the MP3 file for these formats.
You cannot give the user the ability to "jump" anywhere into the sound file if you use these formats. These formats work properly but I haven't tested any other format higher than 128 bit.
These work:
64 bit (mono)
128 bit (mono & stereo)
Hope this helps.
Happy coding.

Movie And Sound Pause
I can't figure out how to the audio in my flash file to start at the same place I stop it at. I got my movie to start and stop with 2 buttons like this:
>>button 1
on (release) {
stop ();
stopAllSounds ();
}
>>to stop and button 2:
on (release) {
play ();
}
>>to play
these work great for stopping both the audio and the movie BUT you'll notice that there is no line to restart the audio. How can I do this?

Pause/Play With Streaming Sound
I am using streaming sound to coordinate with my animation (it is a voice narration explaining what is happening in the animation at that moment).
In testing, I created a pause and play button. One stops the movie. The other tells it to play. But when it starts playing again after I haved stopped it during a streaming sound, it does not pick up where the sound had stopped. Instead, it starts playing the next streaming sound way ahead in the movie. Bizarre. I am using MX of course.
Does anyone know a solution for this?

Play/pause Movieclip & Sound
Hi all,
I've used Flash for some time as an animation tool, however I'm having a few problems with my first step into the world of scripting. I'm using MX 2004.
I have three movieclips in a scene and I require them to play or pause when clicked on. This I have managed.
However, they also need to mute or unmute a sound as well. The sound cannot be stopped, as there are three sounds which form a piece of music. If stopped they will go out of sync.
Effectively I have three characters on stage playing music and when they are clicked I wish for the music and the movieclip to pause.
I have attached the following script to the movieclips:
Quote:
onClipEvent(load){
myDrums = new Sound();
myDrums.attachSound("sounddrums");
}
on (release){
//if the paused variable is false or non-existant
if (!paused){
//stop the movie
myDrums.setVolume(1);
stop();
//set paused variable to true
paused = true;
} else {
//else if paused variable is true
//play movie
myDrums.setVolume(99);
play();
//set paused variable to false
paused = false;
}
}
This apparently worked with one movieclip, however when added to another movieclip (I remembered to change the sound names to suit the other instrument) both the sound volumes are changed at once.
Can anybody help an inexperienced actionscript beginner out?

[F8] Pause Timeline As Sound Plays
How would you go about pausing the play head in the timeline only for the duration of a sound file?
Have a series of screens -- using the presentation screen feature -- on each of which there is a sound file that I dragged out for about five frames, though the actual audio goes on for two minutes of so. I want the playhead to stop at the end of the audio sprite, play the duration of the wav file, then advance one frame at which time an CLICK ON NEXT ARROW message pops up. In Director this is easy to do and am looking for the Flash equivalent.
