Karaoke With Flash? How Do You Time A Song With The Lyrics?
Has anyone ever tried to make a radio that would spout out lyrics as the song played like a karaoke player? If so, please help because I would like to make a flah piece that would play a song and spout out lyrics simultaneously exactly like karaoke.

My main concern is on how to time the lyrics with the song. Is there a way to place the MP3 (which I will be using) in the timeline and span a certain number of frames so that I know when I can trigger the lyrics?

I really did search on the forum (this didn't help me) and none seems to help or relate to what I want, so thanks for looking even if you don't give any suggestion.

Getting Mp3 Time Length
I need to be able to get the length of an MP3 and use that Var in a scrubber calculation.

So far all of my tests with Sound.duration do not give the total length of the mp3 until the file has completely loaded. I need to have the full file length as soon as the file has begun loading. Also I cannot rely on ID3 meta data for this.

How do I do this?

Thanks

Length Of Loading Time
So I have my site all set so that it runs from one interface with a movie clip layer that loads all the external content. The problem I'm having is the load time when switching from one content aspect to another. Is there a way to limit this? Can I add a little icon that will display until the clip is completely loaded? If the second one, how? Thanks.

[AS2] Disable Buttons For A Length Of Time, Then Enable Them Again.
Hi

I'm using this script to go between sections with a fade out before loading the next section...

Code:
stop();
menuButton1.onRelease = function() {
loadPage("content/plan.swf");
};
menuButton2.onRelease = function() {
loadPage("content/build.swf");
};
menuButton3.onRelease = function() {
loadPage("content/images.swf");
};

function loadPage(pageName) {
movContainer.gotoAndPlay("out");

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (movContainer._currentframe == movContainer._totalframes) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
movContainer.loadMovie(pageName);
}
};
}
... which works great, playing the "out" fade-out before loading the next section, but if for example the fade-out takes 8secs, if someone presses one of the other buttons before its got to the end, it plays from the "out" label again. So if someone gets inpatient and just starts clicking away they will just keep looping the fade-out and nothing will load.

Is there a way to disable the buttons after pressing for long enough for the fade-out, but then become active again? If its something that could work with my existing code that would be great.

Thanks

Scripted Movement Over Time Period/frame Length
i'm using this as to move an mc across the screen on the x coordinate:

code:
onClipEvent (load) {
//set initial x pos of clip
this._x = 0;
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
//this moves our clip 1 pixel to the right every frame
//up to a certain point
if (this._x<300)
{
this._x+=1;
}
}

I need to adjust this so that the movement takes place over an alotted time period or a defined frame length. Any ideas?

Video Length Does Not Match Music Length
I want to have a 3 minute wav file loop infinitely over a 20 second flash video which also loops infinitely. The only way I have found to do this is to copy and paste the video so it repeats itself for 3 minutes, then the whole thing loops. Is there a way to run my 3 minute wav file in the background of my 20 second video conveniently?

Here is an example of what I have already made:

Mp3 Sound Length And Played Length
hey i have an mp3 players, is a lot of code so im not going to post it all at.
but what i want is something to tell me the length of the sound and the current playing time..

well i will post this much of the code that i made i just don't know how to turn it into minutes and seconds.

Code:
private function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void
{
// this is the total estimated time
estimatedTotal = Math.ceil(snd.length / (snd.bytesLoaded / snd.bytesTotal));

// this is how much the sound played in %
position = Math.round(100 * (sc.position / e));
// i was just testing with aprogress bar
run.setProgress(p, 100);
}
so how i turned this code that works into minutes and seconds.

Mp3 Length Don't Match Timeline Length
I got myself a simple setup - an animation playing against an audio track. I've used 'use imported mp3 quality' in the export dialogue box. I've got a root timeline of 814 frames long. At 25 fps this gives me a timeline length of 32.5 seconds - this should be the same length as the mp3.

however the mp3 finishes about 5 seconds before the timeline?

How are you meant to sync audio to animation if there is that much discrepency? I haven't got anything processor intensive on the timeline.

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.

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 Not In Sync
This is getting frustrating

I have Flash CS3 (I don't know if that's similar to 9), and I'm currently trying to make an animation, which is supposed to be in sync with the song I put in. What I do is put the song on a layer and then do my animation, and then preview it right on the program; and it's fine this way. However, when I Test Movie (CTRL+Enter) and watch it on there, the song goes too fast and the animation can't keep up. What is wrong here?

My export settings for the audio stream and event are: MP3, 160 kbps, Best

I'd really appreciate any input. Thanks.
