Flash :: Needs Serious Help With Sound Control....

Sound Control With Pause Button As Well As Timeline Control
Hi there

I have a flash page, with a ambient track playing. I added a pause and play button. So you press the button then it stops, then you press it again then it plays...

So now i want to make it so that if you go to the 'WORK' page on the site, wich is on its own frame, and wich has different buttons linking to it, then i want the sound to switch off when i am on the work page as well.
So if the background ambient music plays, and you go to work then the sound switches off. Untill you switch it back on again
How is the best way for me to do that?

How To Control The Sound Volume On A Timeline Base Streaming Sound?
Hello everyone,

I have a MovieClip "Animation" with added sound as a Streaming. I have also created a Volume SiderBar which I would like to use to adjust the volume of the sound on my Flash.

The Volume SliderBar work fine and I need to some how assign the volume to the position (Value of) volume. I was wondering if someone can tell me how I can do this on a sound which is timeline based?

Thank you very much and have a great day,

Sound Control Volume For Multiple Sound Objects?
I've got a file with several scenes.

Each scene has controls with different sound object defined on the first scene. There is a constant background sound object playing over all scenes. I need to control the volume of multiple sound objects playing simultaneously and setting each to different volumes from these scenes.

e.g
_root.bgmusic.setVolume(20);
_root.s001.setVolume(100);

can this be done? When I try, all sounds playing are set to the same volume.

Thanks heaps in Advance!

Sound Volume Control Using Streaming Sound In Timeline?
I am building a Flash 8 movie with animation that is synced to music in the timeline using streaming sound. At a few points I need the music to fade out and then play a video. When the video is done playing I need to come back into the timeline and have the music fade back up at the same point where it left off.

Is there a way to do this? turn down/up the volume of a streaming sound?

Sound Control Please
Hi
Can anyone tell me? Is it possible to stop the sound which has been over in first movie(swf)
And if I am loading second one to replace it. Then coming back to first movie, sound from first movie
should not play even though it has been loaded again.
1)Introduction movie has intro sound.
2)Subect movie
Both are loading on level0.
So when I load Intro movie I don't want the introduction sound to play again
Is it possible by any way putting variables somewhere in temp directory and control the movies.(just a thought)
Thanking you in advance.

Sound Control
Well short and simple. My script is this:

trackA = new Sound(this);
trackA.attachSound("trackA");
trackA.start(0,999)
trackA.setVolume(50);

now for sum reason if i have another script like this:

trackB = new Sound(this);
trackB.attachSound("trackB");
trackB.start(0,999)
trackB.setVolume(50);

if i try to fade track A out and fade B in, it will be like one is trying to control the other and will mess up. is there a way to make these independent of eachother?

Control Sound?
Hi, I realise that Flash 4 is not very good for sound management, but the problem I have is I have a presentation complete with sound the music does not need to cue to the presentation, so I have the sound file load into a separate swf (event as stream causes frame dropout) to gain some control, however when the track finishes what I want to do is to load a looping sound file also loaded into a separate swf. It appears to work apart from a time lag

Any ideas as this has taken more than a lifetime to work on!!!

Sound Control
Hi I have a problem with sound that keeps reacuring and after a while it sometimes ends up working and I don't know why? right now it doesn't. I'm trying to start to loops at the exact same time. Keeping the volume of one of them at 0 so that I can kick it in later.... here's what I got:
---------------
loop1 = new Sound(loop1);
loop2 = new Sound(loop2);
loop1.attachSound("Loop1");
loop2.attachSound("Loop2");
loop1.setVolume(100);
loop2.setVolume(0);
loop1.start(0, 999 );
loop2.start(0, 999 );
-----------------
And for some reason the sound is 0 for both..it's like as if they were the same object. I linked them as Loop1 and Loop2. Does Anyone know why this could happen???? Please help

I have a movie with just control buttons for an mp.3 file.
I'd like to be able to jump back and forth with the rewind or forward button to specific keyframes ( for example every 10 frames ) so, every time I push one of these buttons, it recognizes the nearest keyframe and starts again from there.
What's the script to do this?
Thanks for any help.

I need little help.
I want to create movie with sound in that way that flash will "call" external MP3 file and play in specify scene and frame. For example: Scene 1, from frame 28 to frame 90 to play sound1.mp3, Scene 2 from frame 2 to frame 98 to play sound2.mp3. All mp3s are external files.

Sound Control?
Hey Board! I have a quick question regarding sound control in Flash 5.
I have a soundtrak i need my movie to play on load... which i want to be able to turn off and turn on again from buttons on the main timeline. I have used the Linkage properties and newsound.attach/stop/start to control the sound as i need it to...
all seems well and fair up to this point. heres the problem: my sound will only play once without looping. now if i drag the sound onto the stage and remove my newsound.start and give the instance of my sound 500 loops. it works fine until I stop it and hit audio play (then it only plays once). My main timeline is 2 frames long (with the first being empty for my loader) and a stop action on the second frame.
QUESTION: is there a way to code something similar to a newsound.loop(500) for example???? so it will loop when its called to play and stop when its called to stop.
Thanks a bunch. Muchly appreciated.

I created a movie (audio.swf) that uses sound files with a simple play and stop button. When I test this movie, it works perfectly. When I call this movie clip from the main movie of my project (main.swf) the sound clips do not play.

I am loading audio.swf on level 1 from the main movie. I am assuming that is where the confusion is taking place. Do I need to specify the path of the sound clip or something? I have tried a few different things and nothing seems to work.

Thanks for any help you can give.

be nice.

I have managed to make a player using simple actionscript to fade between two songs. (still bit of a newbe though) ;-)
It's probably not the best way to do it, but at least it works...
but there's still one thing I have problems with.
I can't make the songs start playing right before they fade in.
If you listen to the example the songs keep playing even when they aren't used. How do you prevent that?
Similarly if I were to use the fade system in a animation, how would I script it so the songs would start playing only when they were needed, and not from the start?
Here's what I have so far:
http://www.stratyon.com/flash/shakira1.swf
http://www.stratyon.com/flash/shakira1.fla
(The sounds aren't included in the .fla or it would be 9Mb... Just add any
two sounds as event to the first frame of the sound1 and sound2 movie clips)

Sound Control In MX?
Hi all,

I have a problem on my plate that I havent gotten underway yet. I need to create animations that are roughly synced with a sound file. The animation has a pause and play feature.

In my preliminary tests flash didnt stop the sound when the pause button was pushed. I cant use stopAllSounds because the play feature needs to start the sound from the point at which it was stopped. Everything with the pause/play buttons was set up correctly.

My question is...will I be able to control the playback of the sound on a timeline like i would be able to if it were a regular flash MC or say...an embedded quicktime movie.

Or...

Do I need to set the sounds up as objects and control the sound with script.

It seems like the first should work, but so far it doesnt.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Help With Sound Control
I have more than 1 swf movie and i'm controlling the transitions between them using unload(the current movie) and loadmovie(the movie i want to show next) so far so good, the problem is that i'm using sounds in some symbols of a movie that play well the first time and if i change to the next swf and them return to the previous one using the method i previous explain the sounds don't work anymore, although the animations from those symbols still work.

i'm playing the sounds this way:

on (press) {
stopAllSounds();
som =new Sound()
som.loadSound("Fala_Mascote_2_Pulmoes_v2.mp3");
som.start();
}

I'm using flash MX

I am building a Flash production that will be presented on a CD.
A flash movie loads a second Flash movie that has a Quicktime movie with a sound track.
After the second movie plays, it loads back to the first Flash movie.
Problem is the QuickTime sound track from the second Flash movie keeps playing.
Can anyone tell me the required ActionScripting necessary to have the QuickTime sound track not continue playing?

I'm going crazy!!!!!

I forgot how to control a sound that is contained in a movie that was loaded to a target object in the timeline using "load movie".

Here's my goal:

I have several external MC's that can be loaded as "Background Themes" which contain graphics and sound. The viewer can select each of these via a menu. The external MC is then loaded to a target object on the timeline. I also want the viewer to be able to turn the sound On and Off of the selected MC from the same menu.

The menu is of the "Drop Down/Pop-Up" type which is a MC contained in the Root. I can select the different MC fine with this menu but I just can't get the type of control I want for their sounds. (ON/OFF)

How do I code this to make it possible?

TIA

I already no how to attach a sound loop from the gallery using:

Code:
mySound = new Sound();
mySound.attachSound("SOUNDLOOP");
mySound.start("", 9999);

But what i want to do is have two buttons one for stop and one for play BUT i dont want them to actualy stop the music.

What i want to do is have it so when u hit stop it takes the volume down to 0 and then when u hit play it takes it back up to 100 so its like the loop fading in and out with a contant stream.

Any ideas on this ??

Thanks, Mental

Sound Control Via AS
Hi,
I've been trying to get Flash MX to play a sound via AS, and the problem I've been having is that the sound will only play if it is already previously included in the timeline (via the properties panel). I've included an example file of what I'm talking about.
The "static" sound begins on the timeline on frame 3, and it begins again via AS on frame 31. However, if I remove the sound on frame 3, the one on frame 31 won't play.
Also, if I change the "start" of frame 31 to "stop" and move the AS back to, say, frame 6, it stops the sound which had begun on 3. So the code is working...I just have no clue why I should need anything on frame 3.
Please help me if you can.

Thanks,

PS. I've already tried the "Sounds" forum, with no reply.

Hi,

I have some problems with sound. I dont know how to solve a problem with start end stop a sound. In menu I have few video clips, and before a clip i put StopAllSounds. Problem is how to start a sound after the clip without overplaying? I need to have a script which will stop a sound on video play, which will recognize a end of the video and which will start a sound from the stoping point.

Anyone knows how to do that or have a allready a fla with similar problem?

Thanks

I have multiple movie clips placed along my main timeline. A user can navigate with a navigation bar on the left or with two buttons on the bottom "before" and "next". Everything is working great.....EXCEPT, I have sound in each movie clip and when the user skips around all my sounds are overlapping.

The solution to this seems rather simple - but I can't seem to figure it out. I do not want to use a StopAllSounds function because on the main timeline I have some background music looping. I just want to stop all sounds within a movie clip when someone clicks a button from the main timeline.

I've placed a .zip file on my server to show as example. If you someone can figure this out in my .fla file - I would soooo appreciate it if you could e-mail me back a .zip file with the solution.

My e-mail address is jackie@envisionwise.com

Hi, I would need some help with my first Flash site. I have a problem with preloading sound.

When I do it with the attachSound method I can control the sound but it loads into the first frame.But when I add the sound to a specific frame I can't find any way to control it. Could anybody help me.

onClipEvent (load) {
_parent.volSlider.drag._x += 50;
}
onClipEvent (enterframe) {
vol = _parent.volSlider.drag._x+50;
_parent.mySound.setVolume(vol);
_parent.volAt = Math.round(vol);
}

is there anything wrong with this or do i have to edit some of it?

Does anyone know of a good way to create a sound control where when the sound control button is clicked will fade the bg music in and out depending on whether it is currently playing or not? I would like to be able to do this using the attachSound() from a clip currently in my library or with the loadSound() so I can keep the loop file out of my movie to help reduce file size.

I appreciate any help.

Hi. I've been working on a media player that so far I built myself. I found a tutorial on Google on how to create your own volume control.

Hello all.
I have a global sound in my main movie that loops.

Each button loads a new movie into my main movie by loadMovie command.
In one of these movies I load a new movie containg an embedded video file.

What I want to do is when I load the video file to automatically stop the global sound and hear the video's music.

What happens now is: if I stop the music by the controls I have in my main movie, while playing the video file, both the music from the main and external swf stop.

I also use the lockroot command in all my external movies.

Any ideas on how to achieve that?

thanking you in advance,
