Music Loop Autostart Problem
Hi.
I created a player in Flash MX that loops an external MP3. However, this looping only starts playing automatically in Flash Mx test environment. When I put the SWF in the browser the music loop does not start automatically; I have to press my play button to get it started. Here's the actions frame.
myMusic = new Sound();
myMusic.loadSound("sample.mp3");
myMusic.start(0, 0);
myMusic.onSoundComplete = function() {
myMusic.start(.1, 0);
};
Any help is much appreciated.

Slideshow Music Playing Over *PROBLEM* HELP PLEASE
Hello guys,
I'm having an extreme problem doing this slideshow with music. first of all I'm using my friends domain to show you guys what happens. it's www.keremsuer.com . Ok as you see, when I click on the ABOUT button, a paper appears, which I want that way, but then I want to click on the paper and then it should disappear. It disappears, but I did it by gotoandstop frame1 which reloads the movie and makes the music play over and then the music mixes up. also all the navigation disappears and then appears just like it should do when you first launched the site. Ok what I want to do is this:
The site launches, everything fades in, music starts.
When you click on the ABOUT button, a paper appears. (We're fine through here)
Then when I click on that paper, the only thing is the paper should disappear (MUSIC SHOULDNT RELOAD, AND NAVIGATION SHOULDNT RELOAD)
But my actionscript knowledge is not enough for this
I used xml for the image gallery and the music, but basically my friend did it, and right now he is out of country and nobody can help.
I also put the flash file and xml and everything on a zip folder and uploaded it to the domain. here it is www.keremsuer.com/SLIDE.zip
PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME THROUGH THIS. I WILL GET OFFLINE COZ I GOTTA go to a class, but please respond me and also consider that my flash actionscript knowledge is really low. I'm a newbie.
Thanks
ps: it's flash 8

Autostart Help
Hello all. I've been trying to learn more about sound and flash lately and have an existing mp3 player that I need help with.
I've built my own simple mp3 player so far, but this one is a bit more complicated and I'm stuck on one thing...
What needs to be added/changed so that this player will not autostart?
I have tried changing this.sound_obj.loadSound(file,true) to this.sound_obj.loadSound(file,false) but it still autostarts.
I'm still a newbie when it comes to Flash and I've tried searching on this topic for something that will answer my questions for this particular player, but no luck.
So, any help is greatly appreciated. Source code is below.
Thanks,

Mac Autostart With Application
hi there,
my problem is to create an autorun for a cd-rom which
starts a html file with a browser.
autorun itself is working fine, unless u use os X. I think
they just skipped it, so it will work only on os 9 or earlier.
well, if i e.g. create a html file with dreamweaver, autrun will
open the html file NOT in a browser BUT in dreamweaver.
the windows autorun for the same thing works fine, if u use stuff
like runfile.exe in addition.
so does any1 have a clue, how to solve this or if there's a similar
utility for mac??
as usual every help appreciated

Loadmovie Must NOT Autostart. How To Do This?
Hello :-)
Maybe one of u knows the answer to this problem.
I have a swf, lets name it swf1. In swf1 a movieclip is playing. During the playing of swf1(the user is watching the movie) I load a second swf (lets name it swf2) with the ‘loadmovie’ action. I only want to do this because on the next page of my website swf2 is needed. So by ‘preloading’ it, it’s already in the browsers cache and the user doesn’t have to wait for swf2 to download when he surfs on. Now the problem. Swf2 is a movie clip with video and sound. When swf1 is playing and swf2 is fully loaded, swf2 begins playing to. I know this is the normal behaviour of AS and the loadmovie command. The result is that swf1 and swf2 are playing over each other. That’s not what I want.
1. Is it possible to give a loadmovie command the option NOT to start playing when it is loaded? When yes, how to do this?
2. If 1 is not possible, can i mute the sound of a loaded movie?
3. If 1 and 2 are not possible, are there other ways to ‘preload’ swf’s in the background (without playing them) for later use on the website?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Greetings, Luut.

Disable Autostart
This is probably one of those things that is so simple and staring me in the face that I just don't see it however,
How do you disable the autostart on a flash clip? We are placing a flash clip on a website and want to have the flash clip default autostart setting set to disabled so that users who are not interested in the clip are not forced to listen to it against their will, while users who are interested can simply select the play button.
(Using Macromedia Flash Professional 8)
Thanks.

Can't Turn Off Autostart
I'm using MX 2004 Pro.
I've created an .flv file from a QuickTime movie, audio only.
When I created the .fla and .swf, I UNCHECKED "Automatically Play" in the Media Playback Window of the Component Inspector - but the audio ALWAYS starts playing when the page loads, even though the controller says, "Paused."
I've tried all of these parameters in the code on the HTML page, to no avail:
<param name="play" value="false" />
<param name="autoplay" value="false" />
<param name="autostart" value="false" />
What's going on here, and how do I fix it?
Thanks,

Autostart On Flash Movies?
I have made a flash movie and it works fine when i test it as I'm making it, but when I upload it to the server and view it on the webpage, the movie doesn't start automatically, I have to right click it then hit play. Is there something that I did wrong when I made the movie. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Flash Buttons Don't Autostart
Sorry if the question doesn't make a lot of sense. I'm really really new to Flash.
I'm using IE 6 and 7 (2 different pc's) to test on.
If I view a swf file that has animation it starts as soon as the page loads however, if I load a swf with a button on it (like one with a hover effect) I can not get it to start unless I click on the control first and then hover over it.
When I hover over the button the tooltip says, "Click to activate and use this control"
So I have to click on the control and then it works, but animations do not require this action. They start up as soon as the page loads.
Is there a setting or something in IE or in flash itself that I should have enabled to allow the buttons or menu to autostart as soon as the page loads?
Thanks, and again sorry if this doesn't make sense.

Autostart Issue-flv Player
I got this FLV player(click to download the source) and i ain't no genius in flash that's why I'll post this here if you please.
My problem is that the autostart won't work and i have no idea how to solve this problem.
I remember i tried, months ago, to put the code autostart=1 or true on the html code but that wasn't helpful at all so i guess there is something to do with the AS script to make this work
I know that the xml playlist is correct and there is nothing to change about it
Well,I hope ill get some help.

Script To Make Projector Autostart On Mac?
I was wondering if there was a script that would make a projector auto start from a mac platform. As in, the user inserts the CD into their computer, and the flash movie automatically launches and plays. (not in a browser window, just through the projector)
I've had no trouble finding the script for a PC, just haven't had the same luck for the mac.
Thanks.

[CS3] Media Player Component No Autostart
Okay,
I'm going insane here - I have checked the option on the component (on the stage) to not autostart - yet it autostarts the download anyways (it is set to false in the HTML as well). Driving me crazy here. Anyways, what I want is like an embedded You Tube movie, it places an icon over the start image and once the user clicks it then it starts the stream.
If I need to use Actionscript please inform me of where to place it (on the button, on the frame, etc), also of what form of AS to use. Thanks for the help.

Query - Audio Track Autostart
Hi there,
A quick question, I am using an audio track for a website.
A movie clip sits on the main timeline and is linked a .wav file.
The movie clip contains a button in frame 1 that uses the following code to start the audio playing:
on (release) {
s.start(0,100);
gotoAndPlay (1);
}
Frame 1 actions has the following code:
s = new Sound(this);
s.attachSound("mySound");
s.setVolume(100);
It works perfectly, but takes a user clicking the button to start the track.
I want it to auststart. Using an OnClipEvent to start the audio makes a huge mess! Any ideas?

Scrolling Image Autostart? Code Included...Please Help
I am trying to make an image scroll from top to bottom. As ur mouse goes over it, you can scroll it back up or down. It stops at the top and bottom. But I can't get it to have a default scrolling speed and direction for when there is no mouse on it. Here is the code I have on the movie clip! Thanks!
onClipEvent (load)
{
ycenter=150;
speed=1/30;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
var distance=_root._ymouse-ycenter;
_y+=(distance*speed);
if (_y > 800) _y=800;
if (_y < -535) _y=-535;
}
The if statements stop it at the top and bottom. I still need those to work after we get it to start scrolling. I need it to act as if the mouse is already at the top of the .swf file. Thank you!

Slideshow Button Help
I want to make a total of 50 slides including a menu, buttons to skip forward and back, How would / shoul dI do this to have it look good and work best. any help is greatly appreciated
Next Button In The Slideshow
Well first off does anyone know a good site to read the basics of scripting?
Real question: I'm making a slideshow operated solely by the next and previous buttons. The difference is I'd like the images stored on my server space instead of nested within the flash file itself. This way the movie is smaller and I can more easily change the pictures later on. This is the code I currently have that loads the files from my server space.
imgbtn1.onRelease = function() {
infoField._visible = true;
startLoading("01.jpg");
};
imgbtn2.onRelease = function() {
infoField._visible = true;
startLoading("02.jpg");
};
imgbtn3.onRelease = function() {
infoField._visible = true;
startLoading("03.jpg");
};
function startLoading(whichImage) {
loadMovie(whichImage, "imageLoader");
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
infoLoaded = imageLoader.getBytesLoaded();
infoTotal = imageLoader.getBytesTotal();
percentage = Math.floor(infoLoaded/infoTotal*100);
infoField.text = percentage+"%";
if (percentage>=100) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
infoField._visible = false;
}
};
}
Now obviously this is three buttons but I copied this off of a tutorial so I could get a better understanding of what is going on. Now I want this down to two buttons and one will skip to the next image when pressed and the other button will do the opposite. I think I need to use an array or something but I don't know where to begin with this. Any help would be really appreciated.
Button Slideshow Help?
Attempting to make a slideshow banner, with a next button. When button is clicked, it scrolls to the next image, but attempting at getting the description to change with it (where the error is)
Similar Banner here: http://www.emadraad.com/cafe/
I'm getting the error:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at flash_fma_fla::MainTimeline/nextMenuItem()
The images scroll through correctly, the first description appears but it fails to load the other descriptions
This is the script..
THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS CONTAIN THE DATA FOR THE IMAGE (menuItem) DESCRIPTIONS
Code:
/*The following four sections contain the data
/*for each menu item.
/* 0 */
var image0title:String = "Glass";
var image0desc:String = "Insert description.";
var image0uri:String = "images/image0.jpg";
/* 1 */
var image1title:String = "Concrete";
var image1desc:String = "Insert description.";
var image1uri:String = "images/image1.jpg";
/* 2 */
var image2title:String = "Synthetic Mineral Fibres";
var image2desc:String = "Insert description.";
var image2uri:String = "images/image2.jpg";
/* 3 */
var image3title:String = "Metals";
var image3desc:String = "Insert description.";
var image3uri:String = "images/image3.jpg";
/* 4 */
var image4title:String = "Plastics";
var image4desc:String = "Insert description.";
var image4uri:String = "images/image4.jpg";
var currImage:Number = 0;
var totalImages:Number = 5;menu_mc.title_txt.text = this["image"+currImage+"title"];
menu_mc.description_txt.text = this["image"+currImage+"desc"];
AND THE SCRIPT FOR FUNCTIONING THE NEXT BUTTON (Where the problem is?)
It scrolls through the images, and loads the first title+description, but doesn't scroll through the rest of the titles+descriptions..
Code:
// function for the Next button
function nextMenuItem(eventObj:Object) {
slideShow_mc.gotoAndPlay("slide"+(currImage));
if ((currImage+1)>=totalImages) {
currImage = 0;
} else {
currImage++;
}
menu_mc.title_txt.text = this.DisplayObject.parent["image"+currImage+"title"];
menu_mc.description_txt.text = this.DisplayObject.parent["image"+currImage+"desc"];
}
// add the event listener for the button
next_btn.addEventListener("click", nextMenuItem);
Any help would be much appreciated

Help With Slideshow And Toggle Button
I've made a menu for a cd using as3. in the menu there is a slideshow that uses xml. I found how to do it on a website and don't really know what I'm doing. Almost everything works as I want. I can't figure out the play/pause toggle button. I've got my different symbols ready to go, a play button, one for when it is pushed, a pause button, and one for when it is pushed. How do I make this happen? Right now the slideshow doesn't play (can't figure that out either). It will go from picture to picture using the left and right arrows but the left (back) arrow doesn't cycle around to the very last picture from the very first picture. Please help it's driving me nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!
