Flash :: Song Not In Sync

[F8] Sync A Song That Has Been Loaded Into Flash
Hi!

I'm making a music game, and I might as well just tell you directly that it is for the rock out-contest held by armor games. I have almost completed the coding part of the game and it works like a charm, synced and all.
However, I'm now exploring the possibilities to make a song editor. I think I've got most of it figured out; you can load a song into the flash and then you just specify when you want the 'notes' to come. You will get the option to save the song and also a code that you can give your friends so that they can play it as well. I only have one thing I don't know how to solve at the moment, and that is the sync of the uploaded song. I have put the preset songs into mc's and set them to stream, once the game starts the mc plays. Is there any way of achieving this with code, or does anybody know of another way?

Thanks in advance!

Getting To Next Song After Song Ends (flash 8)
hi!
Im using flash 8.

Is there any way i can get my script to go to next keyframe when the song on the current keyframe ends? (the song is locatet inside 1 mc, so i guess that the nextframe code is going to be with some kinda "_root" in front?)

Thanks, Andy

EITHER: Volume Control On Sync Streaming Problem OR Loading External MP3 Not In Sync
Hi - I'm having a bit of a nightmare at the moment and would if you could pass any advice on the following, as I have been stuck on this for sometime.

As part of a menu screen, I have a background movie which involves a series of animations etc. This movie plays in sync with the music. This all works fine and is quite effective.

However, it has come to my attention that some of the users sometimes wanted to adjust the volume or mute it altogether. I have done many examples of this before previously, but became stuck when I realised for the music, all I did was import the MP3, and then dragged it right onto the timeline. From this, there is no variable/instance/linkage created to control the volume using setVolume. I tried to give a linkage name but was not affecting the main sync streamed music on the timeline.

SO following this, I decided at the beginning of the preloader to load the MP3 externally and play it as a stream, however this does not sync with the movie and falls out of time with it.

So all I need is a push to where I should go with this one.

All I want is for a MP3 to play in sync with the movie and I can adjust the volume of it also via actionscript during the movie.

- Is there a command I can use to sync the streaming external MP3?
- Can I adjust the volume of the initial sync stream via the timeline

Any ideas on this would be extremely helpful.

Thank you in advance.

Re-sync Out Of Sync Live Streams
Hi Guys,

I'm testing an application I've created. It's basically a 2-way A/V chat, with a text chat application on there as well.

Each user publishes a live stream, which is recorded on the server and then resent back down to the other user.

I've been testing it locally and everything is fine, so I signed up to Influxis on their Nitrous plan to give it a test run over the Internet.

Each stream is publishing a 32Kbps video + 8Kbps audio stream. Each user has a fast broadband connection, with around a 140 ping to the server.

Over time, around 10 minutes or so, the live streams get quite far out of sync. It can take over 20 seconds for the stream to reach the other person, making a "live" chat quite useless.

If I stop and start the streams again, it brings everything back into line, so I'm considering this as a potential resolution.

I'd really like to know why this sort of thing occurs, how I can minimise it, and how to recover from it when it does happen.

Any help would be appreciated!

[CS3] Lip Sync Out Of Sync With Stage
I have a mouth that I'm animating with the approach detailed in this tute:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uh3jhbCPbw

ie. it's a Graphic symbol within a Graphic symbol.

I've noticed that my mouth animation keyframes on the mouth symbol don't always match the same frame on the stage. For example, I set a keyframe at frame 326 in the symbol, but back on the stage I see that change happen at frame 330.

All the other frames leading up to that are in sync, and all after it are out by the four frames. What did I do?

Playing A Song
Hello,

What I'm trying to do: have a full length song play on my website.

I know how to import the mp3 file and insert it on the stage, my questions are,

How can I add a stop and play button for it? This is done with action script? I know a little bit about action script, so adding this play/stop button, is it easy to figure out?

Also is there a better sound file I should use to import a song into flash? Are MP3 ideal? or is there another type of file I should use to make it load faster?

Any suggestions that would help are appreciated.

Thanks,
C

Song Through Out Movie
Hey, to anyone who reads this and helps me out.
So I have a movie (with various scenes) and I have to make this song play out through the whole movie... how would I do that? make another scene and call it out throught the other scenes? Thanks,

Odd - Loop Song
I have a song looped within a movieclip (MC_1) that is enabled by an actionscript:

LoopSong = new Sound();
LoopSong.attachSound("Twilight Piano");
LoopSong.start(0, 99999); //0 offset with 99999 loops

When tested it works fine, also when I export the file as a MC_1.swf and double click it, everything works.

The odd thing is when I run the index file (Main.swf) that has a button link to call MC_1.swf, the movie plays but the loop song will not start. I can't figure out why.. I made sure all variables were unique, anyone have any idea?

thanks

Play A Song Again
I'm creating sound in the background of something and I want it to be controllable. I can stop the sound with the stop button, but I can't get it to play again with the play button. I gave the sound an instance name to try using the script

on (release) {
clarity.start()
}

that doesn't work though. What can I do to play the sound? The sound is in one of my layers. thanks

Need Song Put To Video.
I have a song I need put to a flash video. The video would need to look something like the videos that play on the windows media player with our website name and one or two skulls popping up from time to time. Let me know how much this would cost and please show me some work that you have done like this.

Song Titles
Hey,

I have a simple music player that plays external .mp3 files.

I am trying to display the songs names for each song. I have 5 different songs, I want to make it so when the user clicks the "next song" button, I want the name of the 2nd song to appear, and if the user clicks the "next song" button again, I would like the title for the 3rd song to appear and so on.

I am not really sure on how to accomplish this. Maybe with variable names?

Thanks,
Baljinder

Song In Movie
I am putting a song loop in my movie. As the song plays I want it to get faster and faster. Is there a way to do this with a short loop?

Song Position
I'm making a small simple music player. But I have a problem I can't figure out. When some one changes the position of the progress how do you change the position of the song. I've always seen the simple play and stop for mp3. But this seems more complex than that. Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks!

Help With Mp3 Player, Go To The Next Song
Hey gang.

I have this little radio I've made for a singers' site. It auto starts when the page is loaded, but just the first song. The artist wants the radio to go through the entire array of songs like a CD when the user is at the site. However, the radio also has a comboBox, so that users can select what song they want to hear and play it. That part all works fine EXCEPT making the autoplay part go to the next song after the first ends. This is the very simple AS I put on the movie to make the first song play when the movie loads. So how do I get it to go to the next item in the comboBox and then the next and then the next?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
.pete.

Code:
stopAllSounds();
var song = new Sound();
song.loadSound(cbSongselect.selectedItem.data, true);
nowplaying.text = cbSongselect.selectedItem.label;
song.onSoundComplete = function() {
stopAllSounds();
nowplaying.text = defaulttext;
}
