Sound Problem Between Two Movies
I have a post under the sound section of the message board. However, the other board does not get as much attention as this one and my problem is bothering me like a bad case of warts (you know the ones).
So here is my post:

Sound Linkage When Loading Movies Into Movies
I have an intro.swf file that is basically a movie with sound that is exported for actionscript but not exported in the first frame. I just stuck it in a movie on my timeline and it works great and the preloader works because it doesn't load the sound before the preloader. I use :
musicSound = new Sound();
musicSound.attachSound("music");
musicSound.start();
to play the sound in intro.swf.
However, now this intro.swf gets loaded into an index.swf and everything works fine and the sound plays as long as I have the sound included in BOTH the intro.swf and the index.swf and the sound is exported on the first frame in the index.swf. I was hoping I could remove the sound entirely from my index.swf since it already loads into the intro but so far I haven’t been able to figure out how without breaking the sound. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
Sound In Two Movies - Please Help.
I'm making a website and on this website I have two flash movies.
One flash movie is a banner ad that plays some music/plays some visuals after it loads completely.
The other flash movie is my nav bar which has buttons that have sound events on mouseover.
What I want to happen is this...While the music is playing in the ad I want all the sounds on the navbar to be turned off. So if the user mouses over one my buttons, it won't make a sound. Then when the song is over (the ad only plays through once) I want the sound events on the buttons to become active again. Is this possible? and how?
Thanks in advance!
Sound In Movies
Hi all, I have a movie which has 12 frames, each with an audio clip on. I am using the following code to call the sound from the library...(thanks to A_Thun)
moviesound = new Sound();
moviesound.attachSound( "step1", true);
moviesound.start();
It works fine, but when I load this movie into my main movie via loadMovie command, the sounds don't work anymore.
I have 400 audio clips on 400 frames in 12 different movies (plus my main move)
Any ideas?

No Sound In Flash Movies
I've downloaded the latest flash player and still can get no sound from my movies...
I've had to reinstall my audio codecs to get things like avi files etc to work... i think this all happened when I installed winamp... never liked it anyway!
Anyway my codecs are all messed up... whats a few general codecs some flash movies use? at least I'm assuming thats what the problem is...
Right now I've got:
DivX ;-) Audio Compressor 4.02
Microsoft PCM Converter
IMA ADPCM Audio CODEC
Microsoft ADPCM Audio CODEC
Ogg Vorbis Audio CODEC
listed in my audio codecs -> properties page
Any help is appreciated!
Sharing Sound Between Movies
Hi Im making a web site in flash and on the home page I have an On/Off button for the sound that uses the sound object like
my_sound = new Sound();
my_sound.attachSound("Music.mp3", false);
Everything was good till i had all the parts of the site in the same movie.But now im trying to optimize the movie and I have made separate movies for each page so that I can use loadMovie to access different pages.My problem is that once the sound starts playing on the home page and then the user clicks on a button to go to a different page(that is a diffent movie).How can i not interrupt the sound.I dont want the sound to start again everytime a user goes to a different page.
Please help.

How To Load Sound Movies (files)
Hi All,
I want to load 4 to 5 different sounds into my main stage, when the user select the sound and default would be one.
I want all the sound file should have preloaders
Can any one help me in this.
or any one have the sample of this..
Thanks
Attaching/removing Movies, And Sound.
Hi all,
I have an empty movie on the stage in the _root called ConMovie, this is a container for loading other movies into - quite default menu behaviour, and all works fine except I have a couple of questions, especially with sound.
summary of what is in the _root movie:
FRAME1 is initing everything
FRAME2 stage has only the menu movie (doesnt have ConMovie), and the execution stops here, waiting for you to select something. if you select something it goes to FRAME3
FRAME3 stage has no menu, only ConMovie, and this is where ConMovie.attachMovie(MovieID, "Content", 3333) is called
FRAME4 execution stops, only ConMovie is on stage with the new movie (MovieID) attached to it (there is an Event sound on frame 2 of this movie, so short music is looping), and a back button. If you press back it does ConMovie["Content"].removeMovieClip(); gotoAndStop(2);
my questions are:
1. Do I actually need to do removeMovieClip as when the playhead goes to FRAME2 the ConMovie is no longer on stage, so is presumably destroyed, along with its contents?
2. Do I need to do ConMovie["Content"].unloadMovie(); to free memory or was it destroyed like in my first question.
3. When the playhead comes back to FRAME2 (and the menu is back and ConMovie is gone) the audio wont stop!!! why!!! I've tried doing removemovie and unloadmovie, but the audio is still there!! in fact in FRAME2, ConMovie isnt even on the stage but the audio still loops!!
So in ConMovie I created a sound object which I dont use for anything except if you press back in FRAME4 I do ConMovie.MySound.stop(); as well as the unloadmovie etc...and that worked, audio shuts up (I should bloody well hope so!!)....however what worries me is do I have to do that? why isnt the sound stopped and unloaded from memory when I do removeMovie or attachMovie?
thx if you read this far!!

Limiting Sound On Looping Movies
I wonder if anyone could help me with this problem I'm having.
I have a flash banner that sits on a html page and loops continuously. It has sound attached, but I'd like the sound to play only for the first few loops. From this point onwards I'd like the sound to stop and the animation to contnue looping only, so as not to annoy the visitor to the html page with constant sound.
I've thought of various solutions, setting a variable and incrementing it by 'onsoundcomplete' until I reach a point where I can turn all sound off, though I cant get this to work and my coding skills arent that advanced.
Does anybody know a simple solution? All ideas welcomed! It must be easier than this!

Calling A Sound Via AS Within Nested Movies
Ok, please forgive me if this is newbie stuff, but I am at an impass and multiple google searches have provided no relief. I believe I know the problem, but not the solution.
The problem:
I have a movie (model_mc) which contains this code:
Quote:
var newSound = new Sound();
newSound.attachSound( "ree" );
myButton.onRollOver = function()
{
newSound.start( 0, 1 );
// Test if it is hitting
trace("Roll In");
};
myButton.onRollOut = function()
{
newSound.stop( );
// Test if it is hitting
trace("Roll Out");
};
The code works flawlessly as a standalone .swf file. Unfortunately the .swf is called in the following structure:
index.swf is the root file which calls:
interface_mc (level 10)
and
main_mc (level 1)
as such:
Quote:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("interface_mc", 10);
with (interface_mc){
_x=0;
_y=0;
}
loadMovie("interface.swf", interface_mc);
this.createEmptyMovieClip("main_mc", 1);
with (main_mc){
_x=0;
_y=78;
}
loadMovie("content.swf", main_mc);
The rest of the path beyond main_mc is:
main_mc.info_mc.model_mc
As stated before the sound file and releated AS resides in model_mc.
When I run the index.swf, the rollover and rollout function (the trace hits) but no sound plays. When I run the swf for the model_mc outside the structure, the sound plays and stops fine.
I'm pretty sure it is a pathing issue, but have tried all combinations of _root , _parent and _level that I can think of.
Please help! I'm going nuts on this and its the last part of the site that needs to be completed.
Thank you very much for your advise!
Loading Xternal Movies With Sound Object?
Is it possible that when loading an external movie that you can use the sound object within the external movie, say for example from the main movie have a script which calls upon a sound object which has been loaded externally or just simply loading up a movie externally which has inside a script to use the soundObject from within itself.
I hope this is kinda clear

Loading And Syncing Sound With Multiple Movies
Ok so I searched and looked through the tutorials and didn't quite find what I need.
I have several movies (swfs) I want to load onto one timeline, then play sound while they play. Each movie has a preloader in it. However I want to wait until all the movies are loaded before I start the sound. Is there any way to sync the two? Can I put a load script in the main timeline that loads all the swfs?
Thanks in advance.

All these movies are loaded in level 0.
BUT.....

If I choose to go to movie 2.swf, and the sound is playing, I want it to keep playing. If it's not playing, I want it to remain quiet.

Loading Movies Inside Other Movies In An Ext Movie Holder?
Here's one for you:
I've got my main movie that has a movie holder on it (entitled movieholder.) The buttons on the left control what goes in the movie holder. In one of the movies there is a list of songs that are actually buttons. These buttons call up another movie(with MP3s). How do I get the MP3 movies to go into "movieholder" when they are being called by a button inside 'movieholder'
I'm using MX
Hope that made a slight bit of sense!
Thanks for any help,

Trouble Creating Reverse Rollover Movies Within Movies
Hey ooh my first post.
I have been having trouble creating a movie clip with a reverse rollover effect within a movie which has a reverse rollover effect. that sounds confusing
In essence I wish to create a panel that rolls out on rollover and rolls back in reverse when the you rollout. I have done this using this script
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (rewind == true) {
prevFrame();
}
};
this.onRollOver = function() {
rewind = false;
play();
};
this.onRollOut = function() {
rewind = true;
};
However I wish to make movies within this movie that have the same effect on them. But when I create another movie or button within this movie it is not registering on rollover. I guess because the script on the main movie overrides it?
Sorry for the poor explantion, any ideas?

Loading Movies Into Movies With Scroll Bars O_O
I have a site where I'm showcasing my talents (Obviously figuring scripting out won't be one of them) and I load movies into the central area by using simple commands, and it all works. Now I need to have of of those movie to scroll around, because I'm showcasing banners and have more than 400 pixels of height can fit.
I was thinking of using the same textField system that I used for my news section, but replacibng the textField part was a different thing for Movies.
There's got to be an easier way though. Can anyone help me?
Ummm... Loading Movies Inside Movies.... Help?
I posted a question about this a month or so ago, but now (I've had to work out problems on other sites in the meantime) I'm totally ready to figure this out!
I have a VERY large Flash Web site. So, it was suggested that I chop up the site into a few smaller movies. From there, I would set up a main page with a ["target"?] movie clip nested in it. Then, when a button has been pushed, the corresponding swf loads inside the movie clip. I think I can handle that... (although a nice tutorial would be great!)
The problem I'm having is... These swf's can be 'called' from each other, meaning the same buttons will be in each movie. However, the buttons will trigger different frames in each movie, depending on which movie you're already in. I'm betting this is confusing...
EXAMPLE: Every page has 4 buttons, "Who We Are", "Success Stories", "Portfolio", and "Contact". From the Home page you can push any of these buttons and it will go to the first frame of the corresponding movie and a quick, little animation displays as it takes you into the page. That's great. The problem is that, if you were in the "Who We Are" page and clicked "Contact" it should NOT go to Frame 1 of that movie... It should go to Frame 30, because there is a specific animation that connects "Who We Are" to "Contact" that is not the same as the connection animaton between "Home" to "Who We Are". So how do I get the code to be more specific?
HELP!

Dynamically Loading Movies Into Movies With Variables
This might be a kinda tough one. I'll explain the best that I know how.
I want to load jpg images into a movie/button (movie clip with a button instance inside of it with another movie clip inside the button), but I need to do it dynamically.
I was thinking about naming all of the files the same but just change the numbering at the end. Then I can just use an i value to obtain the next file.
Code:
for(i=1;i<5;i++){
loadMovie("something"+i+".jpg","mv_btn_"+i)
}
so, basically I have 5 buttons with 5 images to import. The buttons already have the proper numbers on them, I just need to import the clips into the corresponding button.
Frustrated With Loading Movies Inside Movies.
Ok here's my sight:
http://www.fantim.org/811/index2.html
This is my second attempt at making an all flash site. I got two questions.
1. Lets say I have three movies. Movie1.swf Movie2.swf and Movie3.swf
Movie1.swf has Movie2.swf loaded inside of it. Is there anyway to make Movie2.swf load Movie3.swf inside Movie1.swf ? Does that make sence?
2. Is there anyway to load only certian parts of a movie into another movie? For example:
I have this file http://www.fantim.org/fantimshow/movies/movies.swf (Don't mind the chopiness of it) As you can see it has excess stuff on the sides. Is there anyway to load this within another movie without showing this excess stuff?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Loading/unloading Movies In Loaded Movies :|
Yeah, I know that sounds confusing. Lemme explain:
- interface.swf it's my main movie;
- interface.swf load section1.swf in a specific container called containerMC (duh! );
- section1.swf load other movie, section1a.swf;
- I need a button in section1.swf that load section3.swf in the same main container (containerMC in interface.swf), unloading section1.swf and section1a.swf.
Well... I need some tips about the action of my 'overloaded' button
Sorry about my english

Buttons To Advance Movies Within Movies
I'm still a novice with ActionScript...so sorry about this:
I have a movie...let's call it "Foundation.swf". It is nothing more than a huge, thick border with buttons that run along the side (like using frames in HTML). One layer has an ActionScript that "LoadsMovie" onto Level 1. It starts off with automatically loading "Intro.swf".
When "Intro.swf" is done, "Intro.swf" then loads "Scene01.swf" in its place. Then "Scene01.swf" loads "Scene02.swf" and so on and so forth. But all this is happening within the "Foundation.swf" movie.
OK...all is good.
Now what I want to do...is to use the buttons in "Foundation.swf" to move whatever movie that is loaded onto that layer up one scene or back one scene, etc. So, how do I script it so that WHATEVER movie is loaded onto that layer can be jumped around within it?
Thanks for all your help!

Can I Preload .SWF Movies For Use Later In Other Not Yet Loaded .SWF Movies?
Hello World!!!
What I creating is a web site consisting of many .SWF files, each of which loads over the last @ _level0. The first SWF file consists of three scenes, a preloader an intro and the main movie. Once the main movie has loaded you can click links to the next pages. The following pages show a preloader and then load. This seams to work fine because each page is quite small. This is where I get greedy. What I want to do is preload four movies, say during the intro of the first .SWF file that are not seen just loaded into the computers cache, so they will work instantly when another .SWF file is loaded.
Also, If you know how to do the above. How can I target a frame in another movie when it has not loaded yet?
Thank you all for any help in advance.

Load Movies/hide Movies
Level 10 is my menu.
Level 2 thru 8 are movies I want to load, depending on the menu choice at level 10.
Level 0 is the main movie.
Part One:
I want to Load Movie X on level 5. When I'm done reading Movie X, I want to click on another menu pick (on menu level 10) and have whatever menu choice clicked on appear WHILE Movie X on level 5 dissappears.
The problem is that I don't THINK I want to use UNLOAD movie - I just want it to "turn invisible". And do this throughout the user experience when called upon. Any ideas?
Part Two: On loadmovie can you call a specific frame?
I tried this:
on (release)
loadMovieNum ("pres1.0.swf", 3);
gotoAndPlay (2);
To no avail. Any ideas here?
Thanks a bundle.
Controling Movies With Movies (not Porn)
Ok, it maybe questionable so i removed all but the necessary parts. I'm learning and trying to keep it interesting (makes posting questions tough though ).
Ok, in this movie when you mouse over movie one, it advances movie two to frame 2. When you mouse out it should move movie two back to frame 1. I see the problem, the actionscript must be on the button instance which only exists in frame 1. Once movie one is playing the mouseOut...err rollOut script isn't present.
How do you control the rollOn and rollOut as the "playhead" moves along the time line? Do i need to nest the movies/buttons one more layer deep?

Loading Movies Within Movies Question
Hi,
I have 2 questions.
I'm making a flash website, about 20 pages, right now contained in one movie. Since the file is up to about 400 K , I'm wanting to break out some of the pages into separate movies, and then load them up with the loadmovie command when someone clicks on a link.
1) is IS possible to have a new movie load within a first movie right?? I want to have all of the navbars and stuff in the base movie, and then when you click on something, it loads up that pages' movie onto the base. this IS possible right??
2) what happens if I don't want to unload the loaded movies, and just keep them hidden and available in the base movie, so that if the user clicks on a link twice, it doesn't have to reload it, but just diaplays it? will the accumulation of movies slow down a user's computer or crash a browser?
As I said, the whole thing totals about 400K, and there is no rocket science scripting or anything, it's all pretty straight forward.
Any insight from you Flash wizards would be GREATLY appreciated!!
Mucho Garcia!

Loading Movies On Top Of Loaded Movies
I'm trying to load a movie on top of a loaded movie. For Example:
I have an interface with 4 buttons on it. Each button loads an external swf above the buttons. The loaded movies fade in on top of the lower level. I want it so that when you click button 1, it loads "movie01" and then if you click button 2 it loads (fading in) "movie02" on top of "movie01". Instead, it unloads "movie01" first, then loads "movie 02". I want it to look like the movies fade in on top of each other no matter what order you press the buttons.
I have them all loading in at level 1, is that my problem?
Movies Within Movies (load) URGERNT
Hello.
Please, please, please help me.
I have movies which need to work inside movies.
I currently have the maintimline with a blank movie clip (mtClip) in it. When this needs to play inside the main timeline, it does so nicely with the script:
_.root.mtClip.loadMovie("newMovie1.swf");
That works fine.
However, when in newMovie1.swf, I need to make available another new movie. So here I have placed another blank Movie Clip instance name "moreClip". It does not work though. I have placed the script:
_.root.moreClip.loadMovie("newMovie2.swf);
This works when previewsing NewMovie1, but not when viewing the original movie.
I understand that this has something to do with levels/parents or something.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE PLEASE EXPLAIN. I NEED THIS DONE ASAP.
ALL YOUR COMMENTS ARE HUGELY APPRECIATED!!!!
