Flash MX Virgin - On/Off Switch For Streaming Mp3 File
Can anyone help me out with a problem I have regarding
actionscript. What I am trying to do is create a button that
switches a streaming mp3 file on/off (Stop/Play).
I want a single button that if pressed when the music is
playing, switches off the music. If pressed when the music
has been stopped, plays the music again.
I am stuck because I don't know how to keep track of if the
music is on or off. At the beginning of the movie the music
will play automatically, I have placed the code on a seperate layer in the main timeline. I was thinking of setting a
variable called 'play' to true at the beginning then I
realised that because the way flash works the variable will
be reset each time the play head gets to the beginning of
the movie.
I am new to flash and especially new to actionscript, can
anyone help me out with this?
Code :
mySound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("loop.mp3", isStreaming);
mySound.start();
All this does is play/stream the mp3 file on startup.
Thanks.
Autostart On Flash Movies?
I have made a flash movie and it works fine when i test it as I'm making it, but when I upload it to the server and view it on the webpage, the movie doesn't start automatically, I have to right click it then hit play. Is there something that I did wrong when I made the movie. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Flash Buttons Don't Autostart
Sorry if the question doesn't make a lot of sense. I'm really really new to Flash.
I'm using IE 6 and 7 (2 different pc's) to test on.
If I view a swf file that has animation it starts as soon as the page loads however, if I load a swf with a button on it (like one with a hover effect) I can not get it to start unless I click on the control first and then hover over it.
When I hover over the button the tooltip says, "Click to activate and use this control"
So I have to click on the control and then it works, but animations do not require this action. They start up as soon as the page loads.
Is there a setting or something in IE or in flash itself that I should have enabled to allow the buttons or menu to autostart as soon as the page loads?
Thanks, and again sorry if this doesn't make sense.

Simple Q: Can You Nest A Switch Inside A Switch?
Hi all,
I have a switch/case/break testing if the Key.RIGHT or Key.LEFT is pressed, then nested inside each of these cases a switch/case/break testing for the _currentframe of the main timeline.
The first few key presses trigger 1 trace comment each (as designed) but after multiple key presses I start to see more than one comment.
So my question is whether switches can be nested as below or whether something else is at fault here.
Paste the code below into the first frame of a 4-frame movie.
code: stop();
//
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myListener.onKeyDown = function() {
currentFrame = _root._currentframe;
trace("currentFrame is " add currentFrame);
switch (Key.getCode()) {
case Key.RIGHT :
trace("You pressed RIGHT key.");
switch (currentFrame) {
case 1 :
nextFrame();
trace("right 1");
break;
case 2 :
nextFrame();
trace("right 2");
break;
case 3 :
nextFrame();
trace("right 3");
break;
default :
trace("default case on Key.RIGHT");
break;
}
break;
case Key.LEFT :
trace("You pressed LEFT key.");
switch (currentFrame) {
case 4 :
prevFrame();
trace("left 4");
break;
case 3 :
prevFrame();
trace("left 3");
break;
case 2 :
prevFrame();
trace("left 2");
break;
default :
trace("default case on Key.LEFT");
break;
}
break;
default :
trace("default case called");
}
};
Key.addListener(myListener);

Autostart Help
Hello all. I've been trying to learn more about sound and flash lately and have an existing mp3 player that I need help with.
I've built my own simple mp3 player so far, but this one is a bit more complicated and I'm stuck on one thing...
What needs to be added/changed so that this player will not autostart?
I have tried changing this.sound_obj.loadSound(file,true) to this.sound_obj.loadSound(file,false) but it still autostarts.
I'm still a newbie when it comes to Flash and I've tried searching on this topic for something that will answer my questions for this particular player, but no luck.
So, any help is greatly appreciated. Source code is below.
Thanks,
Opusmx

Mac Autostart With Application
hi there,
my problem is to create an autorun for a cd-rom which
starts a html file with a browser.
autorun itself is working fine, unless u use os X. I think
they just skipped it, so it will work only on os 9 or earlier.
well, if i e.g. create a html file with dreamweaver, autrun will
open the html file NOT in a browser BUT in dreamweaver.
the windows autorun for the same thing works fine, if u use stuff
like runfile.exe in addition.
so does any1 have a clue, how to solve this or if there's a similar
utility for mac??
as usual every help appreciated
Loadmovie Must NOT Autostart. How To Do This?
Hello :-)
Maybe one of u knows the answer to this problem.
I have a swf, lets name it swf1. In swf1 a movieclip is playing. During the playing of swf1(the user is watching the movie) I load a second swf (lets name it swf2) with the ‘loadmovie’ action. I only want to do this because on the next page of my website swf2 is needed. So by ‘preloading’ it, it’s already in the browsers cache and the user doesn’t have to wait for swf2 to download when he surfs on. Now the problem. Swf2 is a movie clip with video and sound. When swf1 is playing and swf2 is fully loaded, swf2 begins playing to. I know this is the normal behaviour of AS and the loadmovie command. The result is that swf1 and swf2 are playing over each other. That’s not what I want.
1. Is it possible to give a loadmovie command the option NOT to start playing when it is loaded? When yes, how to do this?
2. If 1 is not possible, can i mute the sound of a loaded movie?
3. If 1 and 2 are not possible, are there other ways to ‘preload’ swf’s in the background (without playing them) for later use on the website?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Greetings, Luut.

Disable Autostart
This is probably one of those things that is so simple and staring me in the face that I just don't see it however,
How do you disable the autostart on a flash clip? We are placing a flash clip on a website and want to have the flash clip default autostart setting set to disabled so that users who are not interested in the clip are not forced to listen to it against their will, while users who are interested can simply select the play button.
(Using Macromedia Flash Professional 8)
Thanks.

Can't Turn Off Autostart
I'm using MX 2004 Pro.
I've created an .flv file from a QuickTime movie, audio only.
When I created the .fla and .swf, I UNCHECKED "Automatically Play" in the Media Playback Window of the Component Inspector - but the audio ALWAYS starts playing when the page loads, even though the controller says, "Paused."
I've tried all of these parameters in the code on the HTML page, to no avail:
<param name="play" value="false" />
<param name="autoplay" value="false" />
<param name="autostart" value="false" />
What's going on here, and how do I fix it?
Thanks,

Autostart Issue-flv Player
I got this FLV player(click to download the source) and i ain't no genius in flash that's why I'll post this here if you please.
My problem is that the autostart won't work and i have no idea how to solve this problem.
I remember i tried, months ago, to put the code autostart=1 or true on the html code but that wasn't helpful at all so i guess there is something to do with the AS script to make this work
I know that the xml playlist is correct and there is nothing to change about it
Well,I hope ill get some help.

Script To Make Projector Autostart On Mac?
I was wondering if there was a script that would make a projector auto start from a mac platform. As in, the user inserts the CD into their computer, and the flash movie automatically launches and plays. (not in a browser window, just through the projector)
I've had no trouble finding the script for a PC, just haven't had the same luck for the mac.
Thanks.

[CS3] Media Player Component No Autostart
Okay,
I'm going insane here - I have checked the option on the component (on the stage) to not autostart - yet it autostarts the download anyways (it is set to false in the HTML as well). Driving me crazy here. Anyways, what I want is like an embedded You Tube movie, it places an icon over the start image and once the user clicks it then it starts the stream.
If I need to use Actionscript please inform me of where to place it (on the button, on the frame, etc), also of what form of AS to use. Thanks for the help.

Query - Audio Track Autostart
Hi there,
A quick question, I am using an audio track for a website.
A movie clip sits on the main timeline and is linked a .wav file.
The movie clip contains a button in frame 1 that uses the following code to start the audio playing:
on (release) {
s.start(0,100);
gotoAndPlay (1);
}
Frame 1 actions has the following code:
s = new Sound(this);
s.attachSound("mySound");
s.setVolume(100);
It works perfectly, but takes a user clicking the button to start the track.
I want it to auststart. Using an OnClipEvent to start the audio makes a huge mess! Any ideas?

Can someone help me? As Sargent Shultz said, "I know nothing, nothing!"

Music Loop Autostart Problem
Hi.
I created a player in Flash MX that loops an external MP3. However, this looping only starts playing automatically in Flash Mx test environment. When I put the SWF in the browser the music loop does not start automatically; I have to press my play button to get it started. Here's the actions frame.
myMusic = new Sound();
myMusic.loadSound("sample.mp3");
myMusic.start(0, 0);
myMusic.onSoundComplete = function() {
myMusic.start(.1, 0);
};
Any help is much appreciated.

Scrolling Image Autostart? Code Included...Please Help
I am trying to make an image scroll from top to bottom. As ur mouse goes over it, you can scroll it back up or down. It stops at the top and bottom. But I can't get it to have a default scrolling speed and direction for when there is no mouse on it. Here is the code I have on the movie clip! Thanks!
onClipEvent (load)
{
ycenter=150;
speed=1/30;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
var distance=_root._ymouse-ycenter;
_y+=(distance*speed);
if (_y > 800) _y=800;
if (_y < -535) _y=-535;
}
The if statements stop it at the top and bottom. I still need those to work after we get it to start scrolling. I need it to act as if the mouse is already at the top of the .swf file. Thank you!

Issue With Switch From Flash 6 To 8
I am currently having an issue with backwards compatability between flash 8 and 6. I need to use the glow filter which is only availiable in 8 with actionscript 2.0 but I have built this color selector for text in actionscript 1.0 in flash 6. If I try to change the publish settings or just import the code and objects below it tells me that the script is stalling and asks me if I want to close it. I don't know what needs to be changed to update this into actionscript 2.0 or to get it to work as a flash 8 file. Kinda new at flash and this program took me long enough to write this code that I really don't want to do it all over again.
Any help would be helpful
Thx in advance

AM/PM Switch In Flash Clock
Hi all,
I am designing 5 digital clocks with different timing of course through the below action script, and it is working great except Sydney and Tokyo, the problem is that it does not switch from PM to AM...it is only PM, below is the code of Sydney clock, and as for Tokyo I add +10.
Can you guys know what is wrong here ?
P.S : I place for New York : -3 for Cairo : +3 for London :+2, so do u think the reason for this issue of Sydney and Tokyo that the hour add is two digit ( above 10 )???
thanks in advance.
time=new Date(); // time object
var seconds = time.getUTCSeconds()
var minutes = time.getUTCMinutes()
var hours = time.getUTCHours()
hours = hours +11;
if (hours<12) {
ampm = "AM";
}
else{
ampm = "PM";
}
while(hours >12){
hours = hours - 12;
}
if(hours<10)
{
hours = "0" + hours;
}
if(minutes<10)
{
minutes = "0" + minutes;
}
if(seconds<10)
{
seconds = "0" + seconds;
}
clock_txt.text = hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds +" "+ ampm;
Switch From One Flash Page To The Next
Hey guys, I'm fairly new to flash (but coming from a motion gfx design background) and I have a layout made in Photoshop all ready to go with roll overs etc...
All I need to know now is that I have 4 buttons, which I need to create new pages with in flash...the 5th button is a home (go to home) button. So what I want to know is how do I put in the command to have flash call a certain page whenever the user rolls over a button (roll over action) and presses down and then comes in the new page?
Thank you for this awesome site!
New To Flash, Cant Switch Some Elements
I have very little flash experience but i have to make this work.
I have two fla files of globes, one has a menu on it. The menu uses movie clip, buttons, animation; the globe associated with it spins and lets you click on the country which links to another page.
The other globe fla file has no menu but the same look and spinning globe effect. However it also has its click on a country load a separate flash file into the movie to further specify an area within the country before loading a page.
I am trying to either export the menu alone so i can put with the globe menuless version or make the clicking of the menu version load the separate flash files and not just link to a page right away.
I cant find info on how to get a solution and have been trying experiments interchanging elements but nothing is working so far.
am i very noob? can someone help easily, or is it more complicated than it sounds with flash and actionscript?
If any other details are needed i will gladly provide.
thanks

Flash 8 Video Switch Issue
I have a user with a dual monitor setup, and whenever he plays a flash media file, both screens go blank for a moment, then the left screen switches to 640x480, and the right monitor stays in its configured rez (1280x1024). Prior to running the flash file, the left screen also was in 1280x1024, and once the flash file is terminated, both screens go blank for a moment, and the left screen reverts to 1280x1024. If I drag the flash file window into the right screen, it looks normal on that display and vice versa when back on the left screen except its at 640x480. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the complete Flash 8 package, no change. This is driving my user mad.. What can I do to remedy this?

Flash Panels Disappear On App Switch
This is more of a preference thing then an actual problem but I was wondering if anyone knew of a way I could keep my panels from hiding when I switch programs in a mac. When I am using flash I am often using dreamweaver or an internet browser to look at other data and want to continue to see my actionscript panel in flash - yet, when I switch to any of those other programs my panels go away. I cannot seem to find an option that turns this feature off. This seems to be a feature common among the adobe products but it is extremely frustrating in flash. I am currently using Adobe CS3 and uses OS 10.4.11. Any help would be great.
Looking For A Flash Object That Can Switch Embeded Flash Objects
I've done a lot of work on my site in flash, but since i'm a total noob to flash, its really basic. There's one element that i'm missing to call it complete, a flash element selecter. To be specific, i'm looking for a flash object that can display youtube objects and a mp3 player, so that the user can either have mp3 player playing, but then if they want to watch a video they can click on either "videos" or it would be really cool to have a vista flip 3d style selection.
I hope i don't sound like a leech, i just really want this for my site, but i don't have the skills to make such an object yet. If you can either give me one finished, or tell me some pointers to get me in the right direction, i'd apprishiate it.
Problem Getting Key Presses To Switch Scenes (flash 5)

However i couldn't work out how to write the correct script in scene one for the listener movie clip.
Thank you in advance to anybody that can help!!!
