Flash :: Real Time Sound Settings

Real Time Sound With Loader Bar
hi could someone provide me with a tutorial, which would help me
produce a sound player in flash mx, which would play a sound file and at the same time load the rest. But also there must be a loader bar that shows how much of the sound file has been loaded.
I would really appreciate it if i had the tutorial e-mailed @
ali_seelector@hotmail.com, or here at the forum.
thankx

REAL Player Export In Publish Settings Dialog?
I just noticed that in my publish settings dialog box, that I can export my movie in REAL player format! Has anyone else noticed this in their settings? I'm just curious as to how it got there. It must have been just recently, because just 2 days ago I published a movie and it wasn't there as an option. It gives the file extension .smil

It looks really cool in the real player because all the buttons and actions work just fine. It's a little bit choppy as far as the frame rate goes, (eg. it's dropping frames) but there are some options that I can set to fix this as well when I click on the Real Player TAB in the publish settings dialog box.

If anyone knows how I got this as an option in my publish settings, please let me know because I'm really curious as to how it got in there. I'm using Flash version 5.

Later.

Drawing Real-time During Play Time
It's kind of hard to explain, but what I want to happen is make the movie look like I'm drawing the shapes and lines during playtime. So say if I've got a character, I want it to look like he's being drawn line by line like an old Looney Tunes cartoon or such.

Any help is much appreciated!

Is There A Way 2 Do This In Real Time?
Hi Guru's,

I wanted to create an animation of the sun setting and rising. BUT what I wanted it to do, is actually do it in real time.

So for example, if you see the "animation" at a certain time like 6.30pm it will show the posistion of the sun just setting and moon rising?

Real Time
I have been fiddeling with MX (not 2004, just mx) for over an hour, and I cannot figure out how to get it to return any or all of current time. (Ie, seconds, minutes, hours, days, years)

It's probably something pathetically simplistic I should have realised it instantly, but I havent.

Anyone have any hints/suggestions/full out answers?

Moving MC In Real Time
I know this is relatively simple, and I've seen a tutorial that goes through this, but now I can't find it.

I have a button - when clicked, a MC should move from one side of the movie to the other. Simple, right? Well, it kinda works. The MC goes from side to side, but I need to see the MC move - not just appear at the stopping point each time. Here's my AS:

Code:
on (release) {
if (dot._x<125) {
for (var i = dot._x; i <= 500; i++) {
dot._x = dot._x + 1;
}
} else {
for (var i = dot._x; i >= 70; i--) {
dot._x = dot._x - 1;
}
}
Any help?

Real Time Scripting
is there a way to save information with flash to a server (server-side scripting) so quickly that it could be almost real time.

im thinking of making a game where two people (on different computers) would play together and when one player moves his icon would move on both computers. this would take real-time saving of information and loading of information.

this is really important to me

if anyone can help even just a little please post something

thanks a lot,

FPS Real Time Detection

Real Time Update
Hi guys, how do i start or do a movie where there is an image that's dragable, and when i drag the item, some other person who is viewing the same movie will actually watch that item being drag. Hope you get what i mean.

Real Time Capture
Hi everyone, I'm new here. i'm familiar with Flash basics but not the scripting.

I have a dialogue on which I want to sync a very basic mouth open/closed animation (2 frames : open & closed) but as it's rather long I'm trying to find a way to trigger it and record the result.
For instance through a midi keyboard with one note assigned to closed mouth and one note assigned to open mouth. (or a keyboard shortcut in fact)
So my questions are :
can I record in real time that type of information in flash, so that it would add the right key frames at the right place ?
if not, is there another way to do this ?
thanks in advance,
Chris

(I posted that already in animation but that might be too specific)

Real-time Mp3 Volume
Is it possible to get a value for the volume of an mp3 in real time? Like, a number 0-100, and it would change as the mp3 did, like if the song got real quite, the number would go down, and if it got real loud, it would go up. Is this possible?

Real-time Update
Im not sure if this already does real time update or not so if it doesn't sorry.

Ok so heres an example. Flash polls which use php to connect to a database/xml file whatever.

When someone votes a variable is incremented by 1 which would obviously show how many votes in total there are.

How would i do this so on someones flash it auto-updates everytime someone votes. So if someone had it open where they could see the total number of votes and then someone else on a different computer votes, it would automatically update the total number of votes on the other persons.

This would also be like a memberlist for a forum which is automatically updated apart from it would use different php code... i would imagine.

Thanks in advance.

Real Time Reflection
Hey. I've been trying to work a workaround out for generating real time reflections of an external movie loaded into flash using Flash MX. What I had started was a duplicated movie clip that loads inside another and is then flipped vertically, but that of course doesn't allow for the "reflection" to change with the movie it's a copy of. Any basic ideas for how to do this without using the newest version of flash?

Real Time Data
Dear Sir

I would like to ask how to show real time data like the live forex quote at http://www.fxuniversal.com/
It was done by Flash. May I ask how the real time data streaming and get by flash player?
I searched over the net and found that there are 3 methods to do it, but I am not sure.
1) Actionscript + PHP + MySQL
2) Flash CS 3 + ASQL
3) Flex 3 + MySQL
May I ask which method is mostly suitable for showing live numerical data with highest security level?

Real Time Clock...and ?
I made this clock in a real time:
60 seconds = 1 minute
60 minutes = 1 hour
But I have some problems that I want to ask you. I can't make the seconds-hand, because if I do it, it havent not enough frames to do(?).
Other question: I know we can do this clock rotate with ActionScript but I don't know how. Could you give me some suggestions? I tried to make this rotation with the getSeconds(), getMinutes(), getHours() methods and the _rotation property but it didn't work well. I don't know how to say that.
I post the .fla too.
Thx a lot

Having A Real Difficult Time Here.
First let me say that this is the first time I've had to use the forums of this great site, I have always found everything I needed here. I'm having some trouble now though. I want to create a swf that when loaded automatically takes you to a random web page. I wanted to use the same technique that homestarrunner.com has at their welcome screen. Basically I have about 5 different pages and I want that initial swf to load one of those 5 at random. Can anyone give me hand with this? Thanks for reading, and thank you in advance to any helpers.

Show Real Time
Hi guys,
I am trying to get the server time in real time and I can't get it to count the seconds in realtime,
I am able to get the time from CFM to Flash, but if I loop the frame in order to get the real time like the seconds, my page takes forever to load. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
What is the best way to get the servertime and make Flash to show the counting seconds in realtime. Like This one but geting the time from CFM.

Here are my codes:
In CFM:
<cfset todayDate = Now()>
<cfoutput>&servertime=#TimeFormat(todayDate, "h:mm:ss tt")#</cfoutput>

In Flash frame one (1):
loadVariablesNum("showTime.cfm", 0);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
servertime = eval("servertime");
MyTime = unescape("Server Time is: "+servertime);
};

In Frame tree(3):
gotoAndPlay(1);

Thanks in advance.

Real Time Help Functionality
As you all can see by my user id i have been a part of this site for a long time. The biggest issue that I have had is waiting for responses. If Adobe would provide us with instant chat in a community environment it would really speed up troubleshooting but they have not.
So, here is an awesome site that I and others are using to talk, help, and get answers to questions immediately from other Flash Developers.

yes you will need to register to get a username and account but man it is so worth it in order to get real time help and not have to sit there refreshing the page hoping someone will respond to your question.

Change FPS In Real Time?

Is it possible to change the frame rate of a flash movie while it is playing, with action scripting or something?

Real Time Graphics
I have a pretty complicated problem. I need to retrieve realtime data from a server via a perl script. The problem is that i call the same script. Will it return different data every 5 seconds for example? Or it will use cached data? And if so, how can i solve this problem?

Also, what method will you apply if you would need real time data in flash?

Thank you very much for the answers.

Real Time Bet Application
Hello there everyone,

I am a newbie and I need to develop a real-time application using Flash 8 to build the interface. I know that the underlying code produces JSON objects, which provide the data i have to display, but i also have the option of using the database directly and create my own XML files.My main consideration is how will my application know when data changes?Which Flash object i have to use in order to achieve this?? I read somewhere that using XML Socket is the proper solution for real-time things.
Any suggestions will b creatly appreciated!

Real Time Communications
How does real time communication work in Flash.

As an example, a stock ticker, or sports scores. How does this information get passed to flash in real time.

I know there will need to be a two way communication, such as a client constantly polling for info, or maybe a push from the server.

How is stuff like that done?

'real-time' Masking
hey everybody, this is my little problem:

i want to mask a mc with another one that uses the lineTo method to draw itself...some code should explain it, though it doesn't work...

Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip( "pencil", 1 );
_root.pencil.lineStyle( 8, 0x000000, 100 );

mouseListen = new Object();
mouseListen.onMouseDown = function () {
_root.pencil.moveTo( _xmouse, _ymouse );
_root.pencil.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.lineTo( _xmouse, _ymouse );
};
};
mouseListen.onMouseUp = function () {
delete _root.pencil.onEnterFrame;
};
Mouse.addListener (mouseListen);

//maskee is an image in the stage!
maskee.setMask(_root.pencil);
i thought it wouldn't work, but can't seem to find a workaround for this thing...any help will be much apreciated :)

Changing Time Settings?
Hey,

I'm trying to set up some audio files in sections on my timeline but it's not as easy with the timeline default showing 'seconds' instead of minutes. i wrote all my audio file lengths down as minute lengths, so it would be easier if i could just change the setting somewhere in flash so that it would display mintues instead of seconds.

If you're not sure where i'm talking about..it's that little boxed section to the right of the 'frame per second' box. See where it says 's' after the number? that's 'seconds'. now, can i change that to minutes? and if so, how?

any hlp much appreciated..thanx

Yet Another Real Time Preloader-rookie
Hi all,

I have a movie clip on my first frame with the following actionscript assigned to it:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
procent=int((_root._framesloaded / _root._totalframes) *100);
if(_root._framesloaded==_root._totalframes and _root._totalframes>0){
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}

I have a dynamic text field called "procent" on the main stage. When I open this movie, "procent" doesn't update. Where's the problem with my script?

Thanks,

Real Time Variable Updating?
Is there any way to have real time variable updating? Right now I can only seem to make variables update on button clicks, and things like that which means I have to assign the same code to every button in my app for it to update the main display fields. It seems like I'm going about this the wrong way.

Basicly I want my text box variables to always update themselves without having to put "wake up and check your current value" code on every object that could conceivably change their values.

Creating Real-time Waveform ?
I know that using the undocumented Microphone.get() function, you can monitor input from a microphone in Flash MX, but is it possible to monitor sound playing within a Flash movie?

For instance, if I had a music track in my flash movie, could I graph the volume of that music as it plays?

It seems like this is possible, but I can’t figure out how to do it. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Real Time Minute Timer
Hello all,

I'm trying to do a simple countdown timer that uses actual time to help countdown. Here's my code below:

Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// Current Time/Date
currentDate = new Date();
// new Date(year,month [,date [,hour[,minute [,second[,millisecond]]]]])
endDate = new Date(0, 0, 0, 0, 5, 0);
milliseconds = endDate-currentDate;
days = (((milliseconds/1000)/60)/60)/24;
actualDays = Math.floor(days);
remain = days-actualDays;
hours = remain*24;
actualHours = Math.floor(hours);
remain = hours-actualHours;
minutes = remain*60;
actualMinutes = Math.floor(minutes);
remain = minutes-actualMinutes;
seconds = remain*60;
actualSeconds = Math.floor(seconds);
// if the hours remaining is less than 10, pad it with a leading zero, eg 09
actualHours = (actualHours>9) ? actualHours : "0"+actualHours;
actualMinutes = (actualMinutes>9) ? actualMinutes : "0"+actualMinutes;
actualSeconds = (actualSeconds>9) ? actualSeconds : "0"+actualSeconds;
// Display
display = "Time to remaining: "+actualMinutes+"minutes "+actualSeconds+"seconds";
}
Now I'm having a world of problems trying to have it just countdown the minutes. As you can see by my new Date() I don't know how to put in the times I'm not interested in. This timer is only going to be a minute timer that counts down.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Putting Sounds Together In Real Time?
Hey gang,

I've been working in Flash for a while now and want to get a little more advanced by using sets of sounds together.

What I'm aiming for is either to be able to produce something like a You Don't Know Jack style game, but this is more for a mock-up of Price Is Right for the multiple prize descriptions. I'd like to have separate little movies/sound clips to play one after another, but I don't know how to signal the end of a clip, or be able to tell end that specific clip is over to do the next one.

If anyone has done something similar, or would know pieces of how to accomplish this, I'd greatly appreciate the help!

Thanks in advance,

Real-Time Simulation Problem
I have been working on a physics engine for a straight-line drag racing game recently. I've got the engine working fine, but my problem is that the engine is based on the clip event(enterFrame). The simulation is running too fast. To all of you flash gurus out there, how do I make the engine run with realistic time behavior. When I press the up button, the engine runs in the clipevent(enterFrame). I tried setInterval, but it doesn't really make a difference. Does anybody have any suggestions?
