Controlling The Volume / Soundtransform Of An Embedded Flv
i came out of hibernation.

anyone know how to do this? it was easy in AS 2, but I need to be able to control an embedded flv's sound in a timeline in AS 3. I am well versed with streaming .flv's externally in AS 3 / Custom video players, but I want to try and avoid that in this case if at all possible.

any ideas peeps?

thanks.

Volume Slider Tutorial (changing The Start Volume)
Hi,

This is my first post, also my first problem. Not going so well so far! Okay, i downloaded the tutorial and read through it. Maybe not so well, since i'm a little stuck.

I wanted to modify the slider, so rather than starting off as silent, it starts off so the sound can be heard. So i edited the slider and moved the indicator further along. However, the mp3 cannot be heard until the silder indicator is moved.

i tried modifying the play button to this;


ActionScript Code:
on (release) {    if (_root.mySlider.complete == 1) {        _root.mySlider.mySound.stop();         mySound.setVolume(_root.volume(ratio));        _root.mySlider.mySound.start(0, 99);    }}


but it still doesn't seem to work. Also the 'circles' don't automatically take the height. As soon as I move the slider, the circles 'jump' to the correct size and the volume plays properly.

Also i'd kind of like the song to start playing as soon as its loaded. Okay, i know that i could maybe download something that does all of this already, but i'd rather (or more likely be shown how to) modify the tutorial since i'm a beginner.

Apologies, i'm new to all this. I know some oop, but actionscript and all these properties are a bit new to me.

Thanks in advance,

Two Clicks From Just One - Changing HTML & Flash From A Single Click
Hey Folks:

I have an HTML page with a Flash button that pops a window.

I want the HTML page to change when the user clicks the flash button and the window is popped.

I believe that this functionality would need to be contained in the flash button as that is what the user clicks on.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Changing Volume Of SWF
Hello,
I have 9 SWFs, all of which contain audio (me talking, to be specific). The problem is, when I recorded them, my microphone was too far away and it is very quiet. It sounds fine when I turn my speakers up very high.

Is there a way to easily (without re-recording) raise the volume level of one of these SWFs? I don't have any FLA files, but I do have Flash.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Changing The Volume For My Streaming MP3
Im using the folowing code that plays my mp3 file once the flash loads, but its too loud. What code or change do I need to make to change the volume?

Changing The Volume Of A Sound Clip
Hello,

I am new to these forums and I am still quite new to flash so bear with me please.

I have created a flash movie which includes a sound clip. Thanks to the tutorials on this site, I have learned how to include an on/off button for the movie; however, the actual sound clip itself is rather loud. I'm guessing it was recorded at a high volume??? I have my volume on my computer set to low and it still blares out, which I'm afraid takes away from the value of the movie.

So, is there any way that I can edit the sound clip whether in flash or a suitable audio programme to reduce the volume so that the people visiting the website it's meant to go on aren't scared out of their whits?

Changing The Same Sound's Volume On Multiple Buttons...
Hi,

I'm using the same sound for the "Over" state on a set of multiple buttons; is there a way to adjust the level of this sound globally without having to go in and change the envelope for each instance? -- I'd like the same adjusted level for all the buttons in the set.

The sounds are assigned directly to the button state frames. Is there a way to do this with sound objects? I'm new to Flash and I don't fully understand sound objects yet, even though I've read about them.

Thanks,
Todd Lerner

[F8] Externally Loaded SWF Changing Volume Of A Parent SWF
Hi everyone!!

I'm brand new to the forum and (relatively) new to Flash. I hope that someone here can lend a hand!

I have a visually empty movie clip (holder.swf). It loads an mp3 into the movie using the code:


PHP Code:



var audio:Sound = new Sound();
audio.loadSound("audio.mp3", true);




So when the movie loads, it plays a song. Easy enough.

I have a button in my HTML that, when clicked, loads a SWF (loop1.swf) into holder.swf. Now, loop1.swf has it's own sound. I want it, when loaded, to fade-out the volume of it's parent (holder.swf) and then unload the mp3. That way, when loop1.swf is going, it's volume is what we hear -- not the loaded mp3.

When loop1.swf is done, I want it to re-load the original mp3 into holder.swf and start the song over again.

I am having a beast of a time here!! Please, can anyone lend me a hand?

How do I make an externally-loaded SWF fade-out the audio in it's parent file? Then, after a period, how do I make it re-load the audio file?

Thanks everyone!
Chris

SoundTransform
There was a solution along these lines posted earlier, but I wanted to raise the question again regarding the Sound Transform function in .as files.

Below is my .as code for my button class. When you roll over a button it grows and makes a noise.
I'm trying to lower the volume of the "blip.mp3" via SoundTransform, but something is amiss.

-I based my code on info I extrapolated from the AS3 help files. I tried setting the volume to .2 in my constructor function, but it doesn't seem to be working.
Am I using the SoundTransform function improperly? -I'm still very much a novice at OOP.
thanks,
mike

SoundTransform
http://www.helmutgranda.com/2008/02/...d-swfs-in-as3/

I found this code through google search. I tried adapting it to my current code and I'm having trouble. Is it because this essentially creates a new class?


Here is my code without the mute option:

Code:
import flash.media.SoundTransform;
import flash.display.Loader;

var imageLoader:Loader;


function loadImage(url:String):void {
// Show Preloader
preloader.visible = true;

// Set properties on my Loader object
imageLoader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(url));
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, imageLoading);
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);
}
loadImage("swfs/pul.swf");

function imageLoaded(e:Event):void {
// Load Image

imageLoadArea.addChild(imageLoader);
imageLoader.name = "pulmi";
imageLoader.width = 320;
imageLoader.height = 280;
// Hide Preloader
preloader.visible = false;

}

function imageLoading(e:ProgressEvent):void {
// Get current download progress
var loaded:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;

// Send progress info to "preloader" movie clip
preloader.SetProgress(loaded);
}
I would think that I could just create a new SoundTransform and then apply it to my movieClip


Code:
function imageLoaded(e:Event):void {
// Load Image

imageLoadArea.addChild(imageLoader);
imageLoader.name = "pulmi";
imageLoader.width = 320;
imageLoader.height = 280;
// Hide Preloader
preloader.visible = false;
var mySoundTransform = new SoundTransform();
mySoundTransform.volume = 0;
imageLoader.soundTransform = mySoundTransform;

}
But I get this error:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property soundTransform through a reference with static type flash.display:Loader.

Problem With SoundTransform...
If I set my code up like this it works, plays the sound plus applies the volume change...


ActionScript Code:
var over_snd:Sound = new bleeep();
var sc:SoundChannel = over_snd.play();
sc.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(.2, 0);

but if I set it up like this, I get no errors, it plays but the volume does not change, any ideas?


ActionScript Code:
var rollover_3:Sound = new rollover3();
var sc:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
sc.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(.5, 0);

function blah() {
     sc = rollover_3.play();
}

NetStream SoundTransform Delay
Hi,
I'm programming a video player now and using the NetStream.soundTransform to control the volume of the video.
I have noticed that any change to the soundTransform will result in 1 second delay. Which means, that I can't use a volume scrubber smoothly. Any volume change will have effect only after 1 second.
I have a trace on the function that changes the NetStream.soundTransform and I see that trace right away. Only the volume itself has the delay.

Thanks,
Or.

Help With Button That Pops Out Menu
Hey you guys I'm trying to make some buttons that I will add together for menu...

So I had this idea and made me a testing button. This testing button looks like a normal button - but when you click it it starts a flash animation and a semi transparent menu morphs next to it showing the additional categories/links. Basically that is dynamic text placed above the semi transparent menu and made into HTML links.

Now up to the part that you hit the button and the menu shows up and then the stop command holds it there so you can use the links on it - all is fine!

But...well somehow I need to make it so that when the user's mouse leaves the menu (rollout?) or the button that triggers it to show up in the first place - the menu disappears and the button returns to it's original stage. Basically the button itself never changes - it's just that the menu shows up next to it...

Anyway, how do I make it so that the menu disappears when the mouse rolls out of the button or the menu?

To give you an idea of what I'm trying to do - check the WOW site here: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/

It's basically the same thing except that the menus don't just pop-up and they morph/animate.

[F8] Document Name Pops Up On Mac Firefox
I'm glad there is no such thing as a stupid question in this forum because this must be high on the list.

OK, I have a flash video all working good, but when displayed on Firefox on a Mac (doesn't happen with my PC), when I hover above movie, it pops up the movie name.

Now my newbie questions.
1. Where can I change the name (it's not the file name, that much I know)?
2. Can I get it to just not display that?
3. Maybe this is a dreamweaver issue not flash.

I think I'm missing something very obvious,

Thanks in advance

.flv Audio Skips And Pops?
I am certain that this has something to do with the internet download settings...but I am curious as to know what the best practices are here---

I have .flv files that will skip and pop when the download bar is hit by the playhead...meaning the download is not fast enough to outrun the playhead...

but the problem is, sometimes, even when the file is completely loaded it still pops and skips...???

I used the on2 encoder and the spark encoder each with different settings each with different, but unsatisfactory results....

all these identical files play just fine on the cd-rom version of the same interface.

I used Fraunhofer MP3 with 32 kbps -- 16 sample size -- 22050 Mono sound....

Basically the default setting for On2 384K within sorenson squeeze...

Making A Window That Pops Up In Flash
So I want to make a button that creates a component (Window) upon the clicking of it.
I figured that one out:
//
on (press) {

createClassObject(mx.containers.Window,"WindowName ",5,{label:"Window"});

}

//
if there are any errors, plz let me know hehe.

The problem is that I can drag the window away, then click the button again to make a second window. I only want one. So I tried doing a

instanceName.destroyObject("WindowName")

upon the pressing of the window. THe problem is that it doesnt work. I'm not sure how to get it to work either

If anyone knows what 'm doign wrong, or an easier way to do things plz let me know.

Flash Detection Script Pops Up
In the flash detection script why is it popping up the 'installation complete' window when I've commented out all the places where it was being called


ActionScript Code:
//Macromedia Flash Player Version & Revision Detection
//This is designed to support Macintosh, Windows, Linux, PocketPC versions of the Macromedia Flash player.
//All of this code should be on the first frame of the movie before any other code or assets.
////////////USER SETTINGS////////////
//These variables can be set on the object & embed tags In the HTML that hosts this Flash movie.
//They can be set here if preferred.
//-------------------
//the url that the visitor should be sent to if they do not have the required version of Flash.
altContentURL = "upgrade_flash/upgrade_flash.html";
//-------------------
//the url that the visitor should be sent to if they have the required version of Flash.
//flashContentURL = "flash_content/flash_content.html";
//-------------------
//The required player version necessary to view the content.
contentVersion = 8;
//-------------------
//The 'dot' release of the player necessary to view the content.
contentMajorRevision = 0;
//-------------------
//The revision number of the player necessary to view the content.
contentMinorRevision = 19;
//--------------------
//A flag to autoInstall the player on IE Windows. Basically skips the test here and goes right to the Flash content.
//:TRICKY: This should not be set to true here in ActionScript. If you want to skip the test for IE windows users, set this on the object tag
//Such as "flash_detection.swf?allowFlashAutoInstall=true"
//It must be set in the object tag NOT the embed tag, otherwise you would skip the detection when in Netscape Win.
//allowFlashAutoInstall = false;
//--------------------
//A flag to tell the detection code to look up the latest version of the player (see below)
requireLatestVersion = false;
//The following supports "require latest version" and also supports with the rare case when the player versions sometimes get out of synch
//these should be set here in the Flash file and must be updated by the author(you) when Macromedia publishes a new player that you require.

//set up the mac version
MACLatestVersion = 8;
MACLatestMajorRevision = 0;
MACLatestMinorRevision = 0;
//set up the Windows version

} else if ((playerVersion eq contentVersion) && (playerMajorRevision<contentMajorRevision)) {
        getURL(altContentURL, "_blank");
} else if ((playerVersion eq contentVersion) && (playerMajorRevision eq contentMajorRevision) && (playerMinorRevision< contentMinorRevision)) {
        getURL(altContentURL, "_blank");
} else if ((playerVersion eq contentVersion) && (playerMajorRevision eq contentMajorRevision) && (playerMinorRevision >= contentMinorRevision)) {
        //getURL(flashContentURL, "_blank");
}
// This is the failsafe for when all the above is not understood by player version 3 or below.
// This must be the last operation in the detection scheme so do not move it up in the sequence
flash3test = 1;
if (flash3test<>1) {
        //This getURL will be called only in Flash versions < 4.0. Please edit the URL as you wish.
        //Because of backward compatibility requirement, this address cannot be set with a variable.
        getURL("upgrade_flash/upgrade_flash.html", "_blank");
}

It's this one "flashContentURL = "flash_content/flash_content.html";" but it still keeps popping it up even though i'm not calling it above

Email Link Pops Up Window In IE
I have selected text and used the mailto:xyz@xyz.com link to create an email link. I have tried static text and dynamic text and in IE, the mail client pops up, but so does an annoying window with "Navigation to Website was cancelled". It seems to work really well in Windows version Safari. Is there any way of getting rid of this extra window?

Thanks!

Java Menu Pops Under Flash
I'm creating a site and I'm using a java based dropdown menu from dynamicdrive.com (http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/hvmenu/index.htm) It's a quality menu but if there's any flash on the page the drop downs appear underneath that flash. I was wondering if anybody guide me in the right direction on this.

thanks, shagPun

Sound Across Scenes & Changing Volume In Certain Scenes..
OK, this is kind of hard for me to explain but i'll try...

I want to have a continuous sound loop over various scenes, but I want the volume to increase (i.e. fade up - and i would like it to fade rather than just suddenly turn up) during one of the scenes.. and decrease (i.e. fade out) to 0 during another scene.

On top of that, I'd like the sound loop to stop altogether when they play another audio file on the movie - then the loop resume when they return to scene 1.

Anyone able to help me here - i know it's sounds complicated but I am sure someone knows how i can do this.

Any help would be much appreciated,

thanks,
Chris

How Do I Get The Volume Slider To Start At 50% Volume Instead Of 100% Volume?
I have code that sets the volume for the audio clips that I have loaded:

onClipEvent(load)
{
_root.soundstatus="on";
_root.mySound = new Sound(_level0);
_root.mySound2 = new Sound(_level1);
_root.mySound3 = new Sound(_level2);
_root.mySound4 = new Sound(_level3);
_root.mySound5 = new Sound(_level4);
_root.maxvolume=100;
_root.minvolume=0;
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
//if(_root.soundstatus=="on") {step=5}
//if(_root.soundstatus=="off") {step=-5}

//_root.maxvolume+=step;

if (_root.maxvolume>100) {_root.maxvolume=100;}
if (_root.maxvolume<0) {_root.maxvolume=0;}

_root.mySound.setVolume(_root.maxvolume);
_root.mySound2.setVolume(_root.maxvolume);
_root.mySound3.setVolume(_root.maxvolume);
_root.mySound4.setVolume(_root.maxvolume);
_root.mySound5.setVolume(_root.maxvolume);
}

I then setup a slider bar to adjust the volume:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.maxvolume=this._x
trace(this._x)
}

Then I set the volume based on the dragging of the slider bar:

on (press) {
if(_root.soundstatus <> "off"){
startDrag(this, false, 1, 0, 100, 0)}
}
on (release) {
if(_root.soundstatus <> "off"){
stopDrag()}
}
The issue is that I cannot start the audio volume and slider at 50% of volume instead of 100%. Can someone please look at this code and help me understand how I can load this script so the slider volume starts at 50% not 100%? Thank you.

Image Pops Slightly When Animating Alpha
I have an image with 2 keyframes. It starts at alpha 0 and goes to 100. But after I apply these alpha keys the middle of the image shifts over to the left slightly, the rest of the image is fine.

I have made sure that the image is on real numbers (no decimals) and tried absolutely every option to do with tweening and the image properties.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
