XML MP3 Player Play And Pause Buttons

Anyone Know How To Insert Player Control Buttons, Play Stop Pause Etc...
Hey guys,

i have a small series of movies that i made, i was wondering if i could get the code, or .fla file for an external player. Or just pretty much have stop, play, pause fast forward, and rewind buttons in the actual flash movie, if anyone has those answers i'd sell my soul to find out how i can get that to work, or any other helpfull info would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks a bunch

XML MP3 Player Play And Pause Button
Hello,

After reading MANY message board postings, I finally found an XML MP3 player that met my needs ... almost. The player uses XML to call the tracks one by one and display the title (AWESOME!), but it seems to have a lot more features (within the code) that I'm not sure what I could do with (see the loaded drop-down list and the option to have stations, etc.). If anyone can offer me a clue, I'd be greatly appreciative! It's a nice player!

In any case, one of my concerns is that the player does not offer a pause feature. I've read the tutorial about pausing looping MP3 files at http://www.sonify.org, but I'm not sure how to apply the code to this particular player? Is there an easy way to do this?

Also, how could I alter the code to make the player start when the page loads? At the moment, you have to push the play button to get the songs to begin. I'd like it if the songs would already play when the page is loaded.

Any other advice is much appreciative! I'll attach the .zip file to this posting. Thanks!

Play/Pause Toggle For MP3 Player
Hello,

If anyone has any suggestions on creating a play/pause effect from the actionscript that I am currently using, it would be greatly appreciated! I already have a play/stop toggle button, but would like to turn it into a play/pause button. (You will probably recognize this from the HOT Flash Prof. 8 book, Beyond The Basics.)

Even though the code for next/previous buttons is listed below, I really only need play/pause toggle functionality....and am at a total loss at how to do this.

The actionscript for each instance of the buttons are as follows:

PLAY:
on (rollOver) {
_root.helpBubble.text = "play music";
}

on (rollOut) {
_root.helpBubble.text = "";
}

on (release) {
_root.playMusak();
nextFrame();
}

STOP:
on (rollOver) {
_root.helpBubble.text = "stop music";
}

on (rollOut) {
_root.helpBubble.text = "";
}

on (release) {
_root.stopMusak();
prevFrame();
}

The actionscript that I am using for the overall flash project is as follows:


//----------------<sound initialization>-------------------\
var curTrackNum:Number = 0;
var bgMusak:Sound;

// autosize some text fields
this.helpBubble.autoSize = "center";
this.trackInfo.autoSize = "left";

// load the track info vars
var myMusicLv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
myMusicLv.load("vars/track_info.txt");

//----------------<sound setup>----------------\

function stopMusak() {
delete bgMusak;
}

function playMusak() {
bgMusak = new Sound();
bgMusak.onSoundComplete = function() {
if (curTrackNum == (myMusicLv.totalTracks - 1)) {
curTrackNum = 0;
} else {
curTrackNum ++;
}
stopMusak(); /* change to playMusak(); if want to loop song */
}
bgMusak.onID3 = function() {
trackInfo.text = "artist : " + bgMusak.id3.TCOM + " | track : " + bgMusak.id3.TIT2;
}
bgMusak.onLoad = function(success) {
if (!success) {
trackInfo.text = "Failed to load track.";
}
}

bgMusak.loadSound("mp3s/mp3-" + curTrackNum + ".mp3", true);

musakProgBar.onEnterFrame = function() {
bgMusak.setVolume(musakVolume);
musakVolume = -musakVolumeMC.musakVolumeSliderMC._y * 2;
// add and modify percentage text
musakVolumeMC.volumeTxt.text = musakVolume + "%";
musakVolumeMC.volumeTxt._y = (-musakVolume/2) - 3;
musakVolumeMC.volumeTxt._alpha = musakVolume;
var trackD1Prog:Number = _root.bgMusak.getBytesLoaded() / 1000;
var trackD1Total:Number = _root.bgMusak.getBytesTotal() / 1000;
var trackD1Percent:Number = Math.round((trackD1Prog/trackD1Total) * 249);
var trackD1Duration:Number = Math.round((bgMusak.duration/trackD1Percent) * 249);
musakProgBar.progMaskContainer.progMask._width = trackD1Percent + 9;
musakProgBar.musakProg._x = Math.round(_root.bgMusak.position/trackD1Duration * 249);
}
}
//----------------</sound setup>----------------\

//----------------<next track>-------------------\
this.nextTrackBtn.onRollOver = function() {
helpBubble.text = "next track";
}

this.nextTrackBtn.onRollOut = function() {
helpBubble.text = "";
}

this.nextTrackBtn.onRelease = function() {
if (curTrackNum == (myMusicLv.totalTracks - 1)) {
curTrackNum = 0;
} else {
curTrackNum ++;
}
stopMusak();
playMusak();

///

curTrackNum = (myMusicLv.totalTracks - 1);
} else {

[AS 3] Play Pause Mp3 Player Problem
Hello, i'm getting stuck on the play pause. When i pause the first song it does it right, and play it again it works fine. When i click for the next song and pause again, and re-play it, it plays the previous song instead of the current song. I think i'm not storing my position variable correctly. Now I got really confused, here is my code... please help out.

thanks.

Play/pause Toggle Button For FLV Player. Help
I've followed Lee Brimelow's tutorial on gotoandlearn.com about how to build a video portfolio and everything works cool. However, as it's currently set up, when the pause/play toggle button is clicked it stays on the 'play' state on the main timeline. Hoping to fix this, i went ahead and created 4 states for this button (pause, pauseOver, play, and playOver, it's a movieclip so I made frame labels to coincide with each state). Then I went look at this thread to try and fix it:

http://board.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?t=752184

Still no good. So I was wondering if someone might be able to help. Here's my code that does all the NetStream stuff (still new here!) and my play button function. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!


PHP Code:




var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);

var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);

ns.setBufferTime(10);

ns.onStatus = function(info) {
    if(info.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Full") {
        bufferClip._visible = false;
    }
    if(info.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Empty") {
        bufferClip._visible = true;
    }
    if(info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
        ns.seek(0);
    }
}

theVideo.attachVideo(ns);

rewindButton.onRelease = function() {
    ns.seek(0);
}

playButton.onRelease = function() {
    ns.pause();
}

Play/Pause Button For A Flash MP3 Player
Hello,
I am constructing an mp3 player for my Flash site. It starts automatically using the following code. On the mp3 player, there is a rev, play/pause, and forward button. I am having a lot of difficulty with the play/pause actionscripting.

The Actionscript in the first frame of the movie is such:

numberOfSongs = 3;
mp3s = new Array(["music/ifthingsdontfeelright.mp3", "IF THINGS DON'T FEEL RIGHT"], ["music/pleasesay.mp3", "PLEASE SAY"], ["music/youdont.mp3", "YOU DON'T"]);
globalvolume = new Sound();
function songChanger(Number) {
mySong = new Sound();
currentSong = Number;
if (Number>=0 && Number<mp3s.length) {
mySong.loadSound(mp3s[Number][0], true);
_root.mySong.start();
_root.mp3player.trackName.text = (mp3s[Number][1]);
}
}
songChanger(0);

THEN, my play/pause movie "button" has the following Actionscript:
The 'pause' frame of the movie:

on (release) {
cue = Math.round(_root.mySong.position/1000);
_root.mySong.stop();
gotoAndStop("play");
}

The 'play' frame of the movie:

on (release) {
_root.mySong.start(cue,1);
gotoAndStop ("pause");
}

It toggles between the frames, but does not begin playing from the cue position. It doesn't play at all. Any ideas what might be going wrong?

Pause/play Button (flash Mp3 Player)
hi there,

i can't seem to figure out the actionscript for creating a simple play/pause button...

it should be something like this: when you click on PLAY, the song plays and the play button is replaced by the PAUSE button...when you click on PAUSE, it stops the song at the current frame (pause button is now replaced by PLAY button)...click PLAY again to resume from current frame...you know the drill...

oh yeah, there are 2 songs that are to be played...each being loaded from different levels (each on separate .swf files)...

any help on this would be greatly appreciated! thanks!

Toggling Play/pause Button For Flv Player
I have completed lee's tutorials on making a custom flash video player and decided to try and figure out how to toggle the play button between play and pause. But the code I've tried isn't working. I can get it to puase but can't get it to play again. Here is what I tried:

videoControls.playBtn.onRelease = function() {

if (ns.pause() == false) {
ns.pause(false);
}
else {
ns.pause(true);
}
}

Any thoughts? Thanks for any suggestions.

Pause And Play Buttons With Projector
I am working on a CD that requires a projector file and am having trouble with the pause and play buttons. The movie has action on the main timeline and placed movie clips. I gave all of my mc’s an instance name of "all_mcs" which works quite nicely with the following code on the pause button:

on (release) {
_root.all_mcs.stop();
}

The problem is it will not stop my main timeline as well. For separate publishes I tried adding "_parent.stop();", "stop();", "_level0.stop();", "_root.stop();", and "_currentframe.stop();" to the above code and still nothing.

If I remove the "_root.all_mcs.stop();" and just use a simple "_stop;" it stops only the main timeline and the mc’s keep playing.

Does anyone know how to make everything pause at once?

Thank you for your help.

Play | Pause Toggle Buttons
I need to add a play | pause button that toggles and a rewind button with a progress bar showing how much of the movie on the main timeline has played. I'm not an actionscripter, so it needs to be relatively basic using embedded movies and actions or open to any suggestions for the easiest way to accomplish this kind of control panel.

Thanks in advance for any help and/or suggestions on how I can accomplish this!

Hi I want to change look of my stop play pause buttons.
I have tree instances of one mc with shadow.

If I clik on play
mcPlay.shadow._visible = 0
and that's ok.

If I click on pause I need to check which buttons was previously clicked.
I can set _visible to 1 for every others buttons but this is not elegeant way.
That can be very hard to accomplish if I have 20 buttons.
Can you give me some hint?
Is "Listeners" useful for that?

Play & Pause Buttons Work...but Not With Each Other
V!P and dzedwards were a big help to me yesterday but now I've come up against something else...

I've got 3 music buttons on a page. The code that I have plays and pauses each button perfectly. But if I have Button 1 playing and I click on button 2 (without stopping button 1 manually), and button 1 is still playing...both play at the same time. Which, I understand why it's doing that but I'm not sure how to fix it.

What do I need to add to the code so as to stop the first one from playing if I don't manually click it to stop? The first button's instance is monkey7, the second button's instance is iBelieve and the third button's instance is Perfection.

monkey7 = new Sound();
monkey7.attachSound("monkey7.mp3");
monkey7.start(0);
var elapsedTime:Number;
var played:Boolean = false;
pauseButton.onRelease = function() {
if (played) {
monkey7.start(monkey7.position/1000);
played = false;
} else {
monkey7.stop();
played = true;
}
};

Thanks. And I apologize to V!P and DZ in advance.

Problem With Play/Pause Buttons
Im sorry to post a (simple)? question but I did some search with no luck to solve my problem.
I want my play and pause button to function as a play pause button. I do not know how to combine the play/pause action script with the action scrip i have set to switch the buttons.
I have created a movie clip with 2 buttons with the code.

Pause button=
//Here when pressed the pause button will go to frame marker "2" where the play button is causing it to be displayed.
on (release) {
gotoAndStop(2);
_parent.stop();
}


play button =
on (release) {
gotoAndStop(2);
_parent.stop();
}

there are frame markers so on press the pause button will go to marker 2 where the play button is located... anyways that is working great. Play button switches to pause button when pressed... nice!
But now how do I combine a play action or the pause action and have it work along with this action that makes the buttons switch?
Thanks in advance for any info or time given to help me in this.

Play And Pause Sound Buttons
Here is my .FLA...

Anyway, you see that the sound is on a seperate layer, with gotoandplay(1); or w/e on the end... so it indefinetely loops if left to it's own devices.

Now the actions for the play arrow button are:

on (release) {
play();
}

and the actions for the stop square button are:

on (release) {
stop();
}

Techincally, as to my VERY BASIC A/S knowledge, this should work right? I also tried instead of "on (release)" I tried "onClipEvent (mouseUp)"

but that didn't work either. Can anyone help?

Very Basic Pause/play Buttons
Hi all,
i'm trying to add a pause and play button onto my timeline animation, so that when i hit pause/play, all animation will pause/play at the same time:

so i use:

on (press) {
play();
}

and

on (press) {
stop();
}

on each button respectively.

it works fine until i realised that i have several movie clips within this main timeline, and the above command doesn't stop those movie clip animations as well.

what additional line of code should i put in?

basically the main timeline is where my animation is, with a few movie clips on various spots.

your help is much appreciated!

Trouble With Pause / Play Buttons
Hello all,

Having some trouble with a slideshow flash file. The snippet of AS is attached below. The play functionality is working fine, but when the slideshow is running, the pause button won't work. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

NextFrame = function(){
if (whichPic<NumCount) {
bLoad = true;
whichpic++;
} else {
if (whichPic==NumCount){
bLoad = true;
whichPic = 1;
}
}
}

PlayBTN.onRelease = function() {
setInterval(NextFrame, 2000);
}

PauseBTN.onRelease = function() {
clearInterval(NextFrame);
stop();

Play And Pause Buttons For External Swf?
Is it possible to create play and pause buttons for external swf's in flash?

Very Large Movie, Need Play/pause Buttons
I have a very large movie with lots of scenes (20+). I'm translating a PowerPoint presentation & video of the presentation in a flash movie. Each scene has a slide & sound file within it. Later I need to add a pointer to the file, hence the mutiple scenes. What I need is a play and pause button. I have buttons that work just fine until the movie gets to the frame limit and then everything stops working.

play button code

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(_currentframe+1);
}

pause button code

on (release) {
stop();
}

Can anyone help?

thanks!

Coding Stop/play/pause Buttons
Dunno why the pause concept is giving me such a hard time. I know I need a variable to hold sound.position but any help would be appreciated.

Sound object is "narration" and resides on the main timeline. Buttons are in a dynamically loaded mc (not that this makes any difference).

I have 2 separate "Back" and "Forward" buttons that, on release, load a new topic and thus load a new mp3 into the sound object. Problem I'm having is that my "marker" variable which gets set to a narration.position on release of the pause button is doing its job too well. When the next mp3 is loaded, hitting play begins the new mp3 at the previously paused position. Can't seem to clear out "marker" to save my life.

Thanks in advance...

Scripting Pause & Play Buttons For An External .SWF
I feel as though i'm dying inside this is causing so much grief, so if anyone can help me...its very much appreciated.

THE SITUATION :-

I'm buliding a fairly basic presentation which involves loading a variety of external .swf's from the main .swf timeline.

This was all well and good (thanks to "atomic's" help!)

There are 7 segments within the main .swf all of which have several links to load external .swf's.

I've now come to the stage where i need to add a 'pause' and 'play' button...located in the main swf, which will effect any of the external .swf's that have been loaded.

THE SOLUTION :-

I'm desperate for any answers and my job is almost on the line here!..so any help will not only save my ass but it will also guarantee i have a job to go to during these hard credit crunching times!

Please see the attached .FLV file which will hopefully explain the situation a bit clearer. N.B. So far I have only added the PAUSE & PLAY buttons to the 5th segment....(5th blue button down from the top left).

Play / Pause Buttons And Timeline Control
Hey all,
I have a big presentation with some 50+ screen shots. Each chapter is sub-divided into 9 scenes. Within these 9 scenes I have timeline controls. I have a PLAY and PAUSE buttons (separated) and a REWIND to beginning of the chapter and FORWARD to the next chapter. The PLAY and PAUSE buttons target a MC that resides within the same scene.

Here's the PROBLEM. I'm using basic actionscripting to play() and stop() targeting a MC on the stage that holds the slides. It seems my users will press the pause button and 2-3 minutes later it starts playing again!! It's VERY frustrating! Also my users had said that sometimes after they press play or pause the scene advances to the next chapter(scene) for no reason!?

I'm completely perplexed why this continues to occur. I have told the MC to stop WHY DOESN'T IT STAY STOPPED! I'm using MX 2004 and building the presentation to function as an AutoRun .EXE, if anyone has any ideas please fill me in....sound like I'm doing something wrong?

Here's the PLAY button:
on (release) {
tellTarget (MCname) {
play();
}
}

Here's the PAUSE button:
on (release) {
tellTarget (MCname) {
stop();
}
}

By Pressing pause it seems to initially work, but after 2-3 minutes, the movie just starts back up again.

Any ideas?
Is there a better way of writing this script?

How To Make Play/pause And Stop Buttons?
hi, would someone please be able to post the actionscript for these three buttons? i would very much appreciate it :)

i was wonderin if there was a way to make a pause button, with ns. but one that when you press it then press it again it wont start. so that no matter how many times you press it the movie will stay paused (now like ns.pause when you click it pauses and when you click it again it starts, i ned a dedicated pause button)

and how to make a play button? so that when its paused, the only thing to start it again is pressing the play button and that when itsplaying you can freely press the play button and nothing will happen? (again, ns.pause doen't work on the play button since if we have it there the play button is now able to pause the video)

also, how do i make a stop button? so i click it and it takes me to the start of the video and stops it from playing?

thx. phatmat.
