Audio Bug?

Can Flash Detect Realtime Audio Data? (for Linking Visuals To Audio Velocity, Etc)
I've seen a lot of Oscilloscopes for Flash but they've all been fake - they simply generate random patterns that look convincing, expecially if the sound is erratic and would produce chaotic oscilloscope feedback anyway, but they actually have no connection whatsoever to the sounds that are playing.

I've heard people claim however that real oscilloscopes can actually be made in Flash, and I was wondering if anyone could point me towards some resources for looking into it.

I have a distinct feeling that they are probably misguided or just plain incorrect anyway, but it's still a prospect that interests me a lot.

Much thanks,

Audio Player That Requires Access Codes To Play Audio Files. Possible ?
LINK

I've just uploaded this rough piece of website for an upcoming band. If you click LINK you will see two flash movies. The one on the bottom is the audio player. What they want instead of JUST an audio player, is a player that plays certain "secret" audio files if you enter the correct 6 digit number. So imagine a text field and a submit button next to the < || > controls. I'm still getting to know Flash and I have no idea how to create something like this. Anyone have any advice? Any tutorials out there? Info? and finally...this IS possible right?

Thanks

Audio Player/playing Audio Files Externally (mp3)
I've designed the audio player with all of the necessary buttons. I'm trying to play the mp3 files in an consecutive order. I am having trouble stopping or pausing, rewinding and fast-forwarding the mp3 file. I also have a next button and a back button and I don't know how to get them to work either. I have a slider, but can't get it to work either. Please help! I tried to follow the tutorial on flash kit, but wasn't quite understanding it. I would greatly appreciate this if someone could lend their knowledge and support.

Thanks in advance!

Is there any was I can make seperate sliders for each of those tracks of audio?
Thanks!

Stopping Audio And Starting Another Audio When Button Clicked
Hello,
I have a multiple slide document, and I want sound to stop when they click the "Next" button, and another audio clip to start. Here is what I have so far:

//audio
x = new Sound();
x.attachSound("Slide1");
x.start(0, 0);
musicplay = true;
forward_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("2");
numbering eq numbering++;
};

So I just want it to play audio clip "Slide2" when they click forward_btn, and I want "Slide1" to stop.

Thanks!

Flash Audio Player For Streaming Audio
I am working on our church's website and am trying to add mp3 sermons for our visitors to listen to. I have a player that I downloaded but is has some problems, for some reason it will play 2 files at the same time, sometimes it says file not found and I am not sure why. I do not have the FLA file just the SWF that was on the website for download so I can't make any changes. Can anyone tell me how to make a flash audio player with play, stop, pause, rewind and fast forward buttons. Or if anyone has a sample player that I could use for my church, I need it as small as possible and do not need a playlist. Any help would be great.

Help With Audio. Can Anyone Hear The Audio On These Pages ?
Hi,

I am trying to add some sound testimonials to my site and was wondering if anyone could help. My problem is I am not all that familiar with Flash MX.
I have put up two pages through trial and error on my site
http://www.121dreamweavertutorial.com/testing123.html
http://www.121dreamweavertutorial.com/georgina.html

What I did in the second example http://www.121dreamweavertutorial.com/georgina.html was get the lady to give the testimonial as a .wav file which she then sent to me.I then went into Flash MX and exported it as a .swf file into Dreamweaver.

The problem I am having is that some people can hear the audio and some can't when entering the above pages.

I can only imagine that some people do not have the correct plugins installed. My problem is I dont know how to ensure that people can hear the testimonials, what code is needed etc.

If some one could look into these pages and see what the problem is I would be so grateful.


Regards

Stephen

Hello,

I have 4 mp3s, each about 3.5 MB in size and I want them to play when a user clicks on a button. If I simply place the MP3s on a webserver and make a button on my swf file that is a direct link to the MP3, will microsoft media player begin and start streaming the music? If there is a better way, in flash for large files such as these?? please, please let me know. And if possible, please provide code.. i am only an intermediate at flash. Thanks soooo much in advance,

No Audio
I am having a problem with a flash movie -- it simply have NO AUDIO!!!!!

It's a stand-alone projector (.exe).

I have 2 tipes of audio: one is a rollover button, for which I use the Sound() object; the other is an embedded Quicktime movie.

No matter what compression settings I use, they remain ALMOST INAUDIBLE. I have to raise the volume to the max to hear some murmurs.

I've tried to set up the sound programatically, but it doesn't work. I've done this hundreds of times before, and this is the first time it doesn't work.

HEEEEEEELP!

Thanks in advance,

Audio Over Lap
I had a designer create an intro for an Interactive CD. It has an audio introduciton and loop sounds.

I then created additional scenes (like a mini website). On one scene I want to be able to click a button and have the user listen to a sample audio MP3 file. Then, hit stop button and return or when finished click button and return to original scene.

i have done this on other occations but now it is not working.

When I run the Flash file the MP3 audio begins playing during the intro! Can anyone help me figure out why the MP3 begins playing early? Or what I can do to make Flash call the MP3 only when the button is clicked?

All other swf's load into this main.swf.

In my demo.swf section, when I play a paricular (demo, video with audio) I need to be able to have the main audio turn off while the (demo, video with audio) is playing, and then come back on after the demo is finished.

[F8] Audio Help
Having a number of audio problems.

I’m using the screens feature on Flash 8 and have built a series of twenty screens (gleaned from a PowerPoint presentation) each of which are nested within a parent screen that contains the company logo and forward and backward buttons.

Issue #1. I have the audio placed on frame 1 of slide 1, frame 2 of slide 2, etc. The problem is that the audio from frame 1 will fire up on slide 1. And on slide 2. And on slide 3. Etc. Don’t understand why it’s doing this. Does it have something to do with the fact that the slides are nested?

Issue #2. Coming from Director so my understanding of audio in Flash is definitely askew. My idea was that I would throw a single audio frame on frame 1 of the scene 1 timeline. This would play for the duration of the wav file (eventhough in the timeline we only have one frame) then the playhead would advance one frame to a text message that says: click right arrow to continue. At that point the playhead would freeze until the user clicked on the next arrow. Of course in addition I would have to give the user the option to advance to the next slide at anytime, thereby halting the audio and advancing to the next screen.

Right now the audio will play but on screen the presentation keeps looping as is evident from the fact that the click on the next arrow text keeps blinking on and off. And the audio loops as well

No Audio In Swf
I have a symbol that when I scrub through the time line or hit the enter button, the audio works just fine. But when I add the symbol to a swf, the audio doesn't play. What am I doing wrong?

[F8] Audio, PLEASE HELP
I have tons of clips of audio that play at various places on my time line. A music track plays in the background throughout the entire piece, then on specific frames there is a voiceover that will play on the frame, a different voiceover for different frames. How can I set the volume of the clips?? I've tried, but I know I'm missing something but have tried everything. I was thinking that I could just script it so that it will only set the volume of the specific voiceover to 100 and mute the others, so this is what i've been trying. So for example this script would be for frame 61-70.



Code:
_parent.mixdown.setVolume(60); //background music
_parent.audio1.setVolume(0); //voiceover that plays on frame 41-50
_parent.audio2.setVolume(0); //voiceover that plays on frame 51-60
_parent.audio3.setVolume(100); //voiceover that plays on frame 61-70

Hope I explained it clearly. Please someone help me with this. My head is starting to hurt from all the audio overlapping.

[F8] Audio
Hello:
I have a general question regarding audio. I have a project where I have an aif audio file of someone speaking that I have imported into Flash. I am setting the compression to MP3 as it says in a Flash book that I have. When I play the project from the timeline, the audio sounds fine, when I play the aif file separate from Flash is sounds fine, but when I test movie, or export the Flash document out as a swf doc, the audio sounds a bit inferior. It sounds less clear, almost like the sound of someone speaking too close to a microphone. Am I using the correct compression for the audio, and do I need to set any other compressions, etc., when I export the movie?
Thanks so much for any help with this.
Regards,
Kiawah

[CS3] No Audio In FLV
I just imported 2 mpgs (which both include audio), but when I play the FLV in the finder or in the flash movie there is no audio. The video works fine, but no audio.

At the import section, the ability to choose your audio settings are grayed out, so i cannot check the check box.

Is there a specific type of video file that works better with the flash importer? Should i save the mpgs as something else? Or have them saved as something else form the source? Or is there some other problem?

[MX] Audio Lag
Hi, I'm new to flash and this is my first attempt at the makings of a game. At the moment it's just the beginning of a shooter. Here's my problem:

I imported an audio file (gunshot.wav) to play when you shoot. Without the sound it runs very smoothly, but with it, it experences a bit of lag. I don't think it's the sound file itself, because it's not that big. It could be my unorthodox method of playing the sound... I attached the sound to a symbol beacause I wasn't sure how to play it any other way. Could someone tell me the different ways of attaching an audio file, AND the reason for the lag? Please?

Here's the fla and the swf:

PS: Im using a rather old version of flash - Flash MX (not the 2004 version)

i have "movies in movies" etc. Each needs an audio attached that is longer than the animation. Placing the audio within doesnt seem to work.
