Buttons And Sounds...
Ive designed a very kewl type of juke/boom box in Photoshop. Now Im going to use this in flash and want to make it work. Now Ive work with sounds and buttons a bit but never really got a good understanding of why what I was doing worked. Or it was explained in a way that it mine as well have been chinese(I dont read chinese).
Any information on buttons and sound files from the very basic to advance would really be apreciated

Also any information on having two things happen when one button is pushed,as in push play button and song plays but also speakers start to thump. Would be great.

I realize this is going to be a tuff task for me but Im really trying to push my limits as of late and really learn new things.Specially with cross platforms of design tools.

I really apreciate any help that is given, thanks everyone.

Ill make sure to show my final result here.

How Different Buttons Can Have Different Sounds?
Hi,

New to Flash, not to programming. I am trying to figure out how to add different sound effects to different instances of the same button.

I can easily add several instances of a button to the stage but I have to go into 'edit' mode to add the sound to the 'down' keyframe which makes every button take on the same effect.

I tried duplicating an existing symbol and dragging an instance of it to the stage but it behaves the same way.

I've searched these forums and my help section but I haven't seen anything about this. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Dynamic Sounds On Buttons...
Hello all! I've got a question for you guys...First off, I'm trying very hard to learn ActionScripting! Getting there, slowly but surely.. Here's my question: I would like to have a set of buttons that when each button is rolled over play a sound, BUT if you rolled over the button it would play one sound, if you rolled over it again it would play another, like a set of tunes. This could happen for all the buttons...ex: if you have 5 buttons rolling over all of them would create a pleasant tune..no matter how you roll over them, get it? Kinda hard for me to explain. Here is a site that does that http://www.estudio.com Click on the top button "the firm" then on "people" then roll the mouse over the bottom buttons, you'll get the idea! Any ideas or links that could help me out?? Thanks in advance!

Stopping Sounds On Buttons
Hi all,

yups I'm new to the forum and not very advanced in the art of flash.

I've started on a flash project - www.noahs.dk/suede.html - and have run into a problem :

how do I stop the sounds on the buttons playing multiple times when the mouse is passed over them...

ideally i'd like the sound on the button to stop and restart if a mouseover occurs before the end of the sound file and if a new button gets a mouseover.

thanks in advance.

Problems With Sounds And Buttons
I'm making a flash jukebox. Everything works, I click play and the song plays.

However if you click play again, when the song is done, or click another play button for another song nothing happens. I can only play any song once and that's it.

The code I am using is:

PHP Code:

on (press) {
if (playing!=true) {
_root.song1.start();
playing=true;
}
}

Naturally each button uses the same code except it goes song2, song3, etc.
What am I missing?

Also to make my buttons I had just typed out text and converted it to a button. However when I play the swf my clickable area isn't nearly as big as the text box. It's literally like the last row of pixels of the text box. No one could really ever guess that and even if I keep this for something just used on my computer it would be a real hassle.

What have I done wrong or can't you use text to create a button?

Thanks in advance.

Add Sounds To Component Buttons
I need to create a rollover sound for several component buttons.

I've tried the following: I added instance "home" to the home button, and in the frame in which the button is located, I added

Code:

s = new Sound();
s.attachSound("C4.mp3");
home.onRollOver = function() {
s.start();
};

The mp3 file in the library is called C4.mp3. Is this correct? When I test the movie, it does not work.

Using Buttons To Loop Specific Sounds
Ok I have been using flash 4, I recently got flash 5, and am having a hum dinger of a time getting used to the new code and interface. The question is

I want a couple of buttons to play ambience loops for my site.

I am not sure of the best way to do this. Should I try to set up some sort of script that will loop the sounds indefinitely till the user presses a button or the stop button.
If this is possible how do i accomplish this

Or should I set up the loops in different frames and have the buttons point to them.

OOOOOORRRRR should I try to use tell target and have the sounds in a MC (it seems they changed the tell target thing. So how do I do that)

Please help a confused flash head

much love

Sounds And Movie Clips And Buttons, Help.
Hello all,

This is what I'm trying to do.

I have a main file. I'll have five buttons which each represent a song.

This is what I want to happen:

When you click a button (say "Track 1") I want the song to start playing, and when the music starts to play an animation sequence begins. The animation is basically an animated symbol laid underneath a Movie-Clip.

When you click the same button again ("Track 1") I want the music and animation to stop.

Now. It would be nice if, while you were playing "Track 1" you decided to click on "Track 2" that the sound from "Track 1" would stop and "Track 2" would start (sound, animation, etc. each track has different animation).

The way I had it, you had to click "Track 1" again to make it stop, before you could get "Track 2" to play (I was using "goto" commands, like on release goto frame 5, on release goto frame 1. etc)

It would be great if there were a way to allow the user to jump between each button and start/stop the sounds at their leisure.

I've poured over tutorials here, but am still having problems.

I attempted the "music on/off" movie clip (where you create a two frame movie clip, two instances of the button, etc.) but I couldn't assign an action to that movie clip that would associate it with all the animation that is 'sposed to start when it's clicked (whenever I did associate action, the MC ceased to be anything but a graphic)

Thanks for any and all help!

Buttons Playing Multiple Sounds?
Hi everyone, I am pretty new to all of this, but here is what I am trying to do. I want a single button to play a different sound file each time it is pressed, and then start back over again. So if I have three sounds, the first button press plays sound one, second press sound two, third press sound three, fourth press sound one again etc.

I am sure that this is probably easier than I am making it, but I just can't seem to figure a way to do this. If anyone has any ideas I would be most happy.

Thanks, John

Adding Sounds To Buttons In Flash
Help please. I followed the tutorial on the site and using the included image file, it worked beautifully (didn't think it was that simple) but when I try using the pre existing buttons that I created for my website I am trying to build, the mouse over function does not work, no sound, furthermore, my image is a little bit chopped. Its a gif image that I obviously did not create within flash, but shouldn't you be able to import an image and add mouse over sounds easy?

Thanks.

Movie Clip Buttons With Sounds
Hi

I have some simple movie clip buttons like the ones lee did in his tut. How do I add sounds to these? I've added sounds before to standard buttons but this is easy to do.

I want the sounds to play when the buttons are released. Where ever I look for info in books it always shows using behaviours but these seem to add tons of code.

Please bear in mind that my action script is very basic so please make your answers easy to understand.

Thanks

Overlapping Sounds With Buttons And Movie Clips
I know this is something simple but it's driving me crazy

Here's want I'm trying to accomplish:

1) For my buttons, in the "over" frame, a sounds plays when the user rolls over with the mouse. However, on this page I have several buttons that are setup in the same manner. This creates sounds that overlap if the user moves the mouse over several of these buttons. HOW DO I ELIMINATE THE OVERLAPPING SOUNDS? I want the button that is called on the rollover to play the sound, and if the previous button that was called is not finished with the sound, I want that button to stop playing its sound.

What's the easiest way to do this?

2) Using a button, how do I prevent a user from clicking on a button several times and having the sound overlap. If the user clicks on the button, I want the sound that is playing to stop, and the new sound to start playing (without he duplicated sounds).

Multiple Sounds In Sync, Controlled By Buttons?
Hi,

What i'm aiming to do is make a very simple "DJ" game where a user can start music clips (that have been made the same tempo previously).

Here is the design of the game:
http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/7729/playerlg8.jpg

Basically the user clicks a button, music plays, the he/she can choose another clip on the other side and that should start but play in sync.
(So maybe the clips are just muted?)

Then, i'd like for the crossfader to work, so he/she can cut between or slow fade from one side to the other.

I'm not very competant with flash so please be gentle.

Many many thanks!

The sound is attached using actionscript like so

on (rollOver) {
flowersound = new Sound();
flowersound.attachSound("3.mp3");
flowersound.setVolume(70);
flowersound.start(0, 1);
}

3.mp3 has linkage export for actionscript ticked.

Everything works fine when I test the movie, however once I try and load this movie on top of my main interface, all sounds stop

im using this to load the movie

on(press, release){
loadMovieNum("murakamigiggle.swf",5);
}

How Do I Disable All Sounds Including Background Music And Button Rollover Sounds?
Hey, you don't know how long I've been on this forum last night and no one was able to help me with this. I have no clue how to do this. Basically what I want to do is create a site with a bunch of buttons with a Over State Sounds and a Down State Sounds. I have done so already with the file I have been working on at home. Now, I also have background music playing on my flash site. I already have a button that says, turn off music which is using the stop all sounds command. But now, I want a button that disables all the sounds on the whole entire site including background music and button over and down state sounds. I have tried the stop all sounds action but that DOES NOT WORK. Another action that I tired was the globalsound action where it puts the volume to 0, but all that does is stop the background music. It doesn't kill the button over and down state sounds. So what action script would I need in this case? I have been looking for this action scrpt for hours on end and havn't had any luck with anything.

Please help.

Thank You.

Rand Generate Sounds Multiple-sounds
I got background sound playing (looped) in a movieclip. How could I randomly play other sounds while the background sound is playing? No mouse actions involved here. My objective is to play other sounds while bgsound is playing at any given time or specific times.

Example: playing looped sound and have a short sound clip play when the looped bgsounds hits 20th loop.

Dunno if this is even possible, but hopefully someone can explain how and show a example. thx

Sounds.. Help Needed With Sounds And Actions..
alright i need some help on starting and stopping sound with a toggle switch, using this code on the toggle button:

on (press) {
if (music=yes) {
tellTarget ("soundtrack") {
gotoAndStop ("stop");
}
} else if (music=no) {
tellTarget ("soundtrack") {
gotoAndPlay ("go");
}
}
}

soundtrack contains 4 frames: 1st frame label = "go" actions = music="yes"
2nd frame music event is there
3rd frame action = stop
4th frame action = music="no", stop all sounds, stop

im also using an animated movie clip for a button, and im trying to when the music is off, have it animate, and when the music is on, have it still. my code for this is on the instance "clip" and is basically the same as above except it uses gotoAndStop ("raystop") if music="yes"

can anyone please tell me why none of this seems to work at all?

Linkage - Sounds Stopping Other Sounds?
Hi all,

OK

i have a Christmas Card game that i am trying to put a "jingleBell" sound to. I am using linkage. I dont know if this is the right way to do this but i have put the call to the "jinglebell" sound in a movieclip with the first frame having the following actions

===============================================
bellSound = new Sound(this);
bellSound.attachSound("bells");
bellSound.start();
===============================================

the sound is 5 seconds long and i am trying to loop the sound. My framerate is 60 fps so at the 300th frame of the jinglebell MC, i have a simple gotoAndplay (1).

I also have a cannon on the main stage - if someone not of flash mind was reading this they would think i was doolally!!!! - The cannon fires snowballs and on firing i have another linked sound "fire". the code for the snowball sound is on it's timeline and is as follows

================================================
throwSound = new Sound(this);
throwSound.attachSound("throw");
throwSound.start();
================================================

1. My jinglebell sound only plays once and does not loop again

2. Sometimes the bell sound comes back, but when the cannon is fired, the bells disappear

3. The cannon sound is always present and works as required

Any ideas as to how to get the jingle bell sound to loop and not be effected by the cannon fire sound?

I know that using ActionScript to stop a sound that is linked on the main timeline will stop all others on the main tomeline too, but the sounds here are all located within seperate movieClips.

Any help gratefully recieved

Thanks in advance
