Flash :: Sound Looping Problems

Looping Sound And Looping Animation Sync
I'm working on a navagation interface for a new site, and I'm running into a few issues.

1) when you click on a button, it activiates an MC. within that MC, the first frame is the initial "off" state, and clicking on a button triggers the rest of the clip to play, from frame 2. I have a sound that starts in frame 2, and I set up an animation of a VU meter that is supposed to be synced very closely to the music. In the last frame of the MC is an action, gotoandplay, that sends it back to frame 2. The idea here is that once the button is pressed, the music loops and the animation loops with it.

When I test the movie, do a publish preview, or view the swf file in the flash player, the animation seems to be synced to the music for the first few times it loops, but then the animation drifts ahead of the music, getting progressively further out of sync with each loop. The other real problem here, is that when viewing the swf in any web browser, the animation is immediately behind the music, and seems to be running much slower than it should.

you can see the swf here:

http://www.lsrdigital.com/flash/index.html

Does anyone have any ideas about how to get this to work the way I am trying to get it to?

the .fla file is here if you want to look at it as well:

http://www.lsrdigital.com/flash/LSR.fla

2) The other problem I'm having is that the stage is set to be 680 pixels wide, and the graphic that fills the background is 680 pixels wide, BUT Flash MX publishes the movie at only 679 pixels wide! You can see the line of white pixels on the right side of the movie here:

http://www.lsrdigital.com/flash/index.html

I've double checked the html file and the table cell holding the movie element is 680 pixels wide. You can also tell that Flash is cutting off the last column of pixels because the background image is visibly just missing the edge to the right of the screws.

Any ideas on that one?

Looping Sound Using Sound Object...
Hi i have the following AS code:

ActionScript Code:
var song_sound:Sound = new Sound();
song_sound.attachSound("background_music");
btnSoundOn.onRelease = function() {
song_sound.start();
};
btnSoundOff.onRelease = function() {
song_sound.stop();
};

At the moment on clicking sound on, it plays the track once, is there a way i can make it loop continuously?

Sound Looping.HELP
OK this is my problem.
If you look at my code below that I attached to
a bottun it works fine,but I'm trying to set
offset becouse when my sound plays every time it loops
I have brake (or space,or pause what ever you call it) before it plays again.
What do I do to make my looping go smooth
so it looks like one long song.
(If I listen in Cakewalk sound loops fine,no brake)

PLEASE HELP.
Thnx

Looping Sound
I'm loading external mp3's which are embedded into swf's - when I load movie to play the sound the looping of it has a small gap in the sound, only a fraction of a second , but enough to make it sound bad. I've tried other ways of doing this but they all seem to fail in terms of looping the sound seemlessly. We've tested the sound files in pro tools and they loop perfectly. please help.....cheers.

Sound Looping Help
ok im working on this http://www.masterfuldesign.com/index2.htm for the opening page to my site. Now it still needs some work and am gonna change some of the sounds the letters make when rolled over. But I want the last 3 letters to loop the sound file when clicked. And turn off the sound when clicked again. Whats the best way to do that. Right now I just have them so when rolled over they play the file not even looped.

Thanks

Looping A Sound.
Hi guys, im wanting to be able to allow a user to pick up an object, and move it. While its moving i want it to make a sound - but the problem is the sound only plays once, and i want it to loop (ie when the user shakes a maracca it loops a shake sound, and when they stop moving it, the sound stops.

Heres my current code

on (press) {
_root.sounds.sound1.play();
this.startDrag(true);
}
on (release) {
this.stopDrag();
}

this plays a moive with said sound in it when the user clicks on the object.

Any ideas chaps?
Thanks, matt

Sound Looping
Hi All,

I'm working with Flash MX 2004 on a PC.

I'm trying to create a game where the background music (a 30 second sample) loops for an undefined number of times and then stops when a user clicks the play button.

The difficulty I'm having is getting it to loop. Here's my code:

function playBackgroundMusic()
{
_global.BG_MusicSound = new Sound(this);
_global.BG_MusicSound.attachSound("backgroundMusic ");
_global.BG_MusicSound.start();

}
playBackgroundMusic();

_global.BG_MusicSound.onSoundComplete = playBackgroundMusic();

When I put a trace on " _global.BG_MusicSound.onSoundComplete ", my trace message appears just before the music starts and doesn't appear after the sample has finished playing.

Advice appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

please help.

Is it possible to loop a sound indefinitely with flash? Surely there must be but I cannot find out how.

[F8]Why Isn't My Sound Looping?
On the first frame of my scene, i have a simple actionscript which loads an external mp3. Here are the problems

1.) The sound will only play when I set isStreaming to True
2.) Despite entering 100 as the value for loops, it plays only once and then it stops.

If it helps, I should mention that the track is made in FL Studio with "Save as Acidized" selected. As for the timeline there is only one frame in the root timeline.

Code:
MySound = new Sound();
MySound.loadSound("mytrack.mp3",true);
MySound.start(0,100);
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I'm using Flash CS3 with AS 2.0

[F8] Looping A Sound
I am wondering if anyone can help me loop an audio file (its a song actually) that I'm using in a flash. I have the sound on the main timeline and a few other movieclips on the main timeline also. At the end of the movie I want it to stop on the last frame, but continue playing the music forever.

I put a stop() in the actionscript of the last frame I want to end the movie with and it stops the movie exactly how I wanted it to. The sound clip has no stop on it so I thought it would continue playing but it stops at the end of the song. I thought the stop() I inserted in the last frame was causing both the frame and the sound to stop but the song ends way after the stop() in the last frame.

I'm not really concerned with a smooth loop, even if it has to pause for a second that would be ok, as long as it starts up again. Thank you in advance to anyone who could help me!!!

Looping Sound...
Hi I am using the following code to attach a sound in my project...

Thanks in advance...

Sound Looping
I'm using soundVariable.play(start, loop, trans); to play a background music MP3, but I don't seem to be able to have it loop indefinitely with that function. I could put 9999999999 in the loop setting and hope nobody watches it for days straight, but that seems kind of silly. Is there a function that allows me to play an indefinitely looping sound? Thanks.

Sound Looping
Hey guys... new to Flash. I bought a flash template and am reworking it to for my site. I replaced the original sound files and 1 works (loops correctly) and 1 doesnt. The new one is longer than the old one and I cant get it to work right. It starts over in the middle of the wav file. I cant figure out where to go to fix this problem. I've changed every variable that I could find associated with the sound file. The main site is set up to play a music file. The musi file has 3 layers. layer 1 has the sound file attached. Layer 3 is under that and has stop frame at the beginning and end with a frame labeled S7 in frame 2. Layer 2 is on the bottom and has a motion tween in it for an ease in. Not sure what that all means. All I need to know is what to change to make it play the entire file before it loops? Thanks!

Looping Sound
Recently I submitted a post in regards to help on an issue that I'm experiencing with looping a streaming mp3 file to where I want the music to loop over and over after its reaches the end of its song.

I was too quick to check off "This Post Answers My Problem" and well here I am again with the same problem.

My file:
2 layers - 1 Action Script, 2 Music Controls

My action script:
var tune:Sound = new Sound();
tune.loadSound("breathe2.mp3", true);
tune.start(0,50);

play_mc.onPress = function() {
tune.stop();
tune.start(0,50);
}

stop_mc.onPress = function() {
tune.stop();
}

Now what I was lead to believe is that the "tune.start(0,50);" would do is loop (repeat) this song 50 times before it actually stopped playing. However this does not. It plays once and stops.

Any help would be great!

Sound Looping Pb [MX4]
Hello,

I'm having a little problem that i don't know how to solve...
My swf works with scenes. In the 1st scene i build a sound object :

PHP Code:

mysound = new Sound();
mysound.attachSound("thesound.wav");
mysound.start(0,loop);
mysound.setVolume(100);

but when i move to the 2nd scene, the sound stop looping... I could restart it using _root.mysound.start(0,loop) but it would restart the sound when you move from scene1 to scene2 so cut it up in the middle and restart which isn't so nice...

Any idea??

Looping Sound
Hi,

I looked everywhere, throughtutorial after tutorial, but I can't seem to find a basic AS that allows a sound to play throughout a scene continuously (loop). I have a bunch of stops in my scene and when I put a new layer for the sound, the sound stops at the stops as does everything else. I just want something that plays the sound loop no matter what...no buttons, just play the sound and don't stop until you close the site.

Any help would be appreciated...I just need simple...if simple is pointing to an external swf...then let me know...and I will try and understand.

Sound Looping Gap HELP PLEASE
:confused:

I have a .wav file that I want to loop over and over, and never stop, but I placed it in it's own movie clip withouth any commands just a sound loop in a movie clip. The key frames are exact or less to the amount of key frames needed to play the full loop.

The problem is that when the audio is playing it will loop, but at the end of the sounds movie clip frames it takes a second to start over. Thus I have a small silence in my audio loop how do I get arount this problem?

Sound Not Looping
ok, I want to put a backround sound on my page with a flash controller with stop and play, it works fine except it only plays once the stops and I have to press the play button again, then it still just plays once. I got the loop from flashkit.com in mps format.
code for:
On Button:
on (press){
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
Off Button:

I have a sound file that loops continuously on the website. That's fine, but the problem is that when the sound stops/starts, there's a clicking like the speakers turn on/off (or the sound card re-initializes). How would I keep the sound continuous without that undesireable noise?

Looping Sound
i know there are heaps of threads on here about looping sounds and i've checked them out - but it seems to me that everyone says to put this code:

mySound.start(0,100);

where the '100' is the number of times you want to loop.....makes sense, only it's not working for some reason....i can get the sound to play, but no looping. Does anyone know of any time when that code doesn't work?

I'm trying to do this for an assignment and it's due kinda soon....so if anyone can spare the time today, that would be fantastic : )

I want the sound in my flash movie to loop...forever.. or at least for 99 times...
I am using loadSound to load an extarnal mp3 file, here is the code I'm using but it is not looping...:

External Sound Swf's Not Looping
I'm creating a Powerpoint-like presentation in Flash. Using a main control swf, I preload graphic swf's and sound swf's into various levels in the first scene. Each of the swf's has a stop action in the first frame, and the movie starts on the second frame. As I need the swf's in later scenes or slides, I point to their level and play the second frame. This starts the swf when I need it.

Example:

PRELOAD SCENE
loadMovie ("graphic1.swf", 3);
loadMovie ("graphic2.swf", 2);
loadMovie ("sound.swf", 1);

SCENE ONE
//This plays graphic swf in level 3.
_level3.gotoAndStop(2);
//This plays sound swf in level 1.
_level1.gotoAndStop(2);

SCENE TWO
//This stop graphic swf in level 3 because frame 1 has stop action.
_level3.gotoAndStop(1);
//This plays graphic swf in level 2.
_level2.gotoAndStop(2);

HERE'S THE PROBLEM ...
The sound swf that I launched in scene one on level 1 inexplicably stops in Scene Two and does not loop. Any ideas on how the sound.swf can be looped over multiple and ensuing scenes in the main movie.

Thanks in advance,

Sound Looping Problem
I was wondering if there was a way to play a sound looped twice followed by a smaller portion of the same sound and then the original sound again, to create a larger loop without using more samples. I tried that by lining up all the appropriate sound frames on a mc timeline but it doesn't work very well as the sounds don't get synchronised perfectly, everytime I test the movie I get different audio results. I tried to use streamed sounds but filesize, of course, was getting bigger and bigger plus the fact that didn't synchronise very will either...any suggestions?
