Flash :: Sound Won't Stop In Flash

Can You Help Me Stop This Sound ? Flash 8
Hey guys i'm a real noob to flash,

I have a basic audio player with play,stop and load functions. I use this player on my site to stream audio but now I need to attach a sound file to the player too.

I've added the sound so that it only starts when the play button is clicked but I cant figure out how to get it to stop when I click stop.

I'm attaching the FLA file, in hopes that someone can show me what i'm doing wrong. I've tried using stop(); but it doesnt seem to work?

Please help! this is driving me crazy!

Flash 4 - Stop Sound For Good?
This is a quick question, I hope.
Here's the deal - I'm trying to set a global variable "nosound" so that a pause/play clip on the main timeline can reference its value and stop sounds if necessary.

Maybe there's even a better way to make sure pause/play doesn't restart sound?

Can anyone help?

Thanks a lot!

Sound Won't Stop In Flash MX 2004
Hello,

I want to stop fade in/out the sound on a flash movie and it's not doing it. When I preview the movie the "output box" appears with the following lines:

100
_root.soundstatus -
_root.soundstatus - on

I click the button to stop the sound and it won't stop..the song just keeps playing in the movie. I already check the code it self and I don't see nothing wrong. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong

Thanks

How Do You Stop Sound In Flash During Authoring
I am incorporating sound in Flash for the first time and most of it is pretty straighforward, but if I play the sound file via the timeline (hit enter), it will not stop. Worse, if I go to frame 1 and hit enter again, the sound file begins again and plays on top of the first instance of it. I got out the so-called "control" palette, but it does not stop sound. I have about 5 minutes of audio to synchronize with animation - I sure hope there is a means for me to start and stop the audio during authoring time...

Never mind, I got it. lynda.com has a tutorial under their Flash 8 Essential Training about putting sound on buttons; in there the instructor spoke about the sound event type, (accessed from the properties palette) which controls how the sound is handled by Flash. The default sound type is "event" which is used for short sound clips and generally used for things like button presses. This type of sound event allows for the sound to play repeatedly on top of itself (for example, if the user keeps pressing the button). By switching the sound event type to "streaming" - used for longer sound files - it keeps that from happening, and now the sound starts and stops with the playhead while authoring the movie (whew!)

Flash 8: Stop Mc At Frame & Control Sound
Hello,

I'm new to actionscript/flash. I have on different layers: action, lilypad, frog_mc, button, water mask and sound. What I'd like is if the button is released, for the frog_mc (frog jumping off the lilypad) to play just once, and the water mask to move, and the sound to occur.

On the action layer I have:
//stop the movie clip when page loads
animated_mc.stop();
//when home button is pressed, play the movie clip
home_btn.onPress = function(){
animated_mc.play()}

The last frame of the frog layer: animated_mc.stop();

The first frame of the sound layer, which is close towards the end of the frog layer:
var water_splash = new Sound();
water_splash.attachSound("water");
if (home_btn.onRelease == true){
water.play}

The movie clip plays when the button is pressed, but the frog continuously jumps, and the sound, and water mask do not work.

I'll be making several of these buttons to incorporate into a dreamweaver css file. Will I be making different swf files for each button?

Thanks for any help on this.

.stop() For Sound Object Stopping Embedded Video Sound
I have a problem where the stop funtion for a sound object is stopping the audio in an embedded video. Has anyone ever encountered this? Ihave poured over my code and there is no cross-linked intance names, so I do not have a clue what is happening.

Stop Sound File Early (using Sound Object)
I know I can use the play() method of the Sound object to offset the beginning of a sound. Ex:

mySound.play(2000) - plays the sound beginning at 2 seconds

Is there a way to get a sound to stop early? For example, if it is a 20-second sound, can I get it to stop at 18 seconds? Thanks!

Rollover Sound On - Rolver Sound Stop

Sound.getbytesload And Sound.stop() MXPRO2004
I've figured out a workaround for this, but was just posting to see if anyone has a better way to do this.
What I want to create is a streaming player that shows a bar of how much of the sound is loaded and an indicator on the bar of where the sound is currently at while playing. I would also like the sound to start loading as soon as the movie is loaded, but not start playing until the user presses the play button.
The problem I run into is if I stop the sound, the loading of the sound stops too. So, the only way to have the sound load is to also play it. The workaround I'm using is as follows:

When the sound first starts loading, I set the soundvolume to 0. If the user presses the play button, I begin playing the sound from the beginning. If the user presses the pause button, I record the duration of the sound into a variable, but instead of using mySound.stop(), I turn the volume to 0 and let the sound continue to play. If the user then unpauses the sound I start play from the duration number where it was last paused.

I'd like to be able to use sound.stop() on this, but I don't think it's going to work. Any ideas?

HELP Sound Object Stop Kills Flv Sound Too
code:
if (!firstTime) {
_root.introMusic = new Sound();
_root.introMusic.attachSound("music");
_root.introMusic.setVolume(50);
_root.introMusic.start(0, 1);
firstTime = true;
}

music_btn.onRelease = function() {
if (!rockNow) {
_root.introMusic.setVolume(0);
this.gotoAndStop(2);
rockNow = true;
} else {
_root.introMusic.setVolume(50);
this.gotoAndStop(1);
rockNow = false;
}
};
stop();

This script for my "music on/off" btn kills ALL audio and not just the sounds object audio. It also pauses FLV playback (I'm using the FLVplayback component). Any insite?

I've tried modifying the above AS not using the "_root." to target the obj and also stop() and start() on the obj instead of just volume control. HELP!!!

Thanks,

Stop Sound On A Specific Sound
I have a main timeline with 3 frames. Each frame has a different movieclip but with the same background music. In frame 2 of the main timeline, I have a movieclip that also has sound. If they hit the next frame button from the
main timeline in while in frame2, the sound continues onto frame 3 of the main timeline. I want to stop the sound from the movieclip in frame 2 but not the background music which continues from 1 through 3.

In frame 2 I have a lightning flash - the wav file has linkage as lightning ----

_root.l = new Sound();
_root.l.attachSound("lightning");
_root.l.setVolume(85);

I start frame 3 of the main timeline with this but it kills the music as well ---
_root.l.setVolume(0);

and the stop button i just put stop all sounds so i guess that should take care of it..but if that is wrong then please let me know, lol

Sound Stop And Sound Start
Hi There.

I have the follwoing problem. I have this play/pause button that toggles. This works. When clicking it the movie freezes and when clicking it again it runs. I have now added sound to the timeline, and what I want is that when clicking the pause button the movie freezes but also the sound freezes. Clicking the pause button again should start the movie and the sound again.

I have written the follwoing actionscript to the button:

Code:
isPaused = true;
allSounds=new Sound();

this.movieClip.play_btn.onRelease = function() {
isPaused = !isPaused;
movieClip.gotoAndStop(isPaused ? 1 : 5);
stop();
_root.allSounds.stop();
if (isPaused==true) {
play();
trace("We are rolling");
trace("and this is frame "+_root._currentFrame);
_root.allSounds.start(0,99);
}
}
It does half of it good. When I now click the button, the movies freezes and the music stops. When I click again the movie starts again, except that I do not hear any sound anymore. I am sure it is just some simple error, but any tips would be welcome!

Thnx!

How To Make A Sound Stop Only That Sound...
i think my problem is simple but i just am not getting a certain code. ok i have a radio in my flash mx vid. when i click it once. it plays music. when i click it again, it stops it all sounds. how do i make it just stop THAT sound?

{Radio} <---- movie clip

Sound Object - Specifying Only Certain Sound To Stop
Hi everyone. I'll try to make this as brief as possible. I am creating a flash project which contains video on a few pages. The project also contains background music which loops contiuously.

The goal is to have the background music stop whenever the user is on a page containing video and for the music to play again when the user leaves said page.

The script I created works to stop the music, but it also stops the audio contained within the video and causes the video player (by proxxus) to lock up.

The solution is probably a simple one, but I'm having difficulty figuring it out.
If anybody can see where I've gone wrong, your help would be greatly appreciated. Here's the setup:

Library:
music.wav - linkage = "myMusic01"

Main Timeline:

Code:
//-- create a variable to determine if the current movie contains video
var currMovie:String = "notVideo";
//-- start playing sound object
myMusicMc.myMusic.start(0, 999);
myMusicMc (residing on main timeline)
frame 1

Code:
//-- set up sound object
myMusic=new Sound();
myMusic.attachSound("myMusic01");
frame 2

Code:
//-- check the variable "currMovie"
if (_root.currMovie == "Video") {
_root.myMusicMc.myMusic.stop();
} else {
_root.myMusicMc.myMusic.play();
}
frame 3

Code:
//-- create a loop to continuously check the variable
gotoAndPlay(2);
on the actions layer of the movie clip containing my navigation controls
snippet of the callback used

Code:
videoLink_mc.onRelease = function() {
_parent.prodDetail_mc.gotoAndPlay("video");
_root.currMovie="Video";
}
on all the other buttons currMovie is set to "notVideo"

Stop Sound To Start Another Sound
I have a movie -a read aloud ebook for kids-with a main soundfile, and buttons with soundfiles (definition of the word in the text). I need to be able to click on the word definition button, stop the main soundfile, listen to the word definition button soundfile, then return to the main soundfile. Everything in the movie works perfectly except that with the code below (on each button), on rollOver ALL sounds are stopped, and I can't work out how else to do it. Can anyone show me how to do this without the onRollover please?

on (rollOver) {
stopAllSounds();
}
on (press) {
_root.play();
}
on (release) {
_root.stop();
_root.btnStopPlay.attachMovie("mcButtonPlay", "btnPlay", 1);
}

Cannot Stop A Sound
I am having trouble with sounds. I thought that the way to do it was to add the sound to a MC in frame 1, put it on the stage, and give it an instance name (sound34) and on a button to stop it put

on (release) {
sound34.stop();
}

But it doesn't work? Am I missing something important?

Thanks
Emily

Stop ALL Sound
how do I stop all the sound in a movie. I use the stopallsound action but is don't work.

Stop ONE Sound
Hi.

I'm trying to get ONE particular sound to stop playing when a skip inro button is released. I do not want to stop all sounds.
I have placed the sound, on its own in a movie clip on the root level. I think I found this Script, in a Macromedia Tech Note, but I can't get it to work...... The note called for the Sound "ID" I assumed (although I may be very wrong) that the name of sound effect would work within the brackets. This is the ActionScript that I have attached to the button:

on(release){
gotoAndPlay(205);
_root.mysound.stop(["Savage 2.aif"]);
playing = false

}

Thanks for your help

Stop Sound From MC
Hi

}

Any suggestions?

Stop ALL Sound?
hi, i know how stop a particular sound with the .stop() command,

but i have a button which i wish to script to disable ALL sound events in the whole movie. so even though there will be commands saying soundX.start(); i wish to do this without using an if statement on each and every sound to see if the instance is on.

is this possible, its a bit like a button you find on flash web pages which disables sound so im sure its possible..
