Flash :: Swf Import, Sound?

Sound - Warping Sound On Import
When you import a wav file and then test it in the library is it still a wav file or does Flash convert it to MP3? I assumed it was still a wav file until exportation. Here's the scenario. When I import a wav file into Flash and test the sound file in the library is sounds warped. It has a higher pitch to it. Shouldn't it sound exactly the same as the external wav file until it's exported?

Sound Import Bug
Hi everybody

I have faced a terrible bug in flash , please guide me if you can
I have 36 flash files with many sounds imported (about 200 in each) then the client decided to change the sounds . I though if I just import into library everything will be done . but it seems event/stream property isnt be held. It means if you create a flash and create two frame place one sound in each 1 stream and another event then re-import them into library and select replace then you see both are the same(sometimes stream sometimes event) I eant to keep the original one....
waiting for any useful comment
Thanks

Cant Import Sound

How Would You Do This? (About Sound, Import And FLASH)
What I want is; a Flash movie wich imports a soundfile and plays it (I know how to create Start - Stop and Volume controls). I just want to change a single (music) file to change the background music. (I don't want to export the whole Flash movie over and over again). How would you do this?

It would be even better if you told me how to use random files (1 out of 5).

Thanks a lot
Mzzl, Chris

Import Sound Glitch?
For lack of people browsing the sound forum I'm going to post this here. In Flash MX I am all of the sudden having a problem with importing sounds and having the option to choose "Use Imported MP3 Quality." No matter what I do it will not give me the option to click on that check box. I know how to do it but no such thing shows up in the property box. I've done a search on the forums and no one really has an answer to this. Is it a glitch?

Import A .swf Sound File
Hi all and happy new year,

I downloaded a soundloop from flashkit in .swf "data7.swf" I can hear it when I play it with the flash player but when I import it in my animation I can't.
This is what I putted in my actionscript window at the beginning of the animation :"loadMovieNum("data7.swf", 66);"
and I also putted the data7.swf file in the folder of my animation and in the library. I dont know what's going wrong.

I also downloaded the mp3 version and imported it as an .swf in my animation. It works but the loop isn't going right.

Thanks for helping me.

Quicktime - No Sound Import?
I recently was sent 3 quicktime movies to put into flash and one of them imported the sound fine. The other two however, did not import the sound (i got a message saying that sound could not be imported in the dialogue box - it had a little yellow triangle next to the message)

I hope thats clear and i also hope you can suggest a solution.

Thank you.

Import Quicktime = No Sound
Hi, I'm sure the answers in here somewhere but the forum seems to be having problems apart from being incredibly slow it times out on a search.

Apologies if this has been asked before.

I've tried several formats of encoding and although Flash import dialogue suggests audio can be imported playback is silent. What should I look for to make an imported quicktime movie play sound within Flash MX?

Thanks.

Sound Wont Import
im making a interactive cd with video bits in it. ive been through some crap with my uncooperative video guy (ergh...dont get me started) and ultimately decided that .movs are the best format for this situation.
my problem is that when i try to import them, no sound comes through...?
there is an error message in the import box saying "no compatible sound format was detected" or something like that, even though it is just a normal .mov.
and when i export it to test it the footage works but with no sound...
what is going on? how come it doesnt work?
im using mx 2004 pro.
cheers.

Mpeg Import - No Sound
I have just imported an mpeg into flash but when I publish it there is no sound, does anyone know whats going on

Import .swf Into Quicktime = No Sound
I have a bunch of .swf files I need to import into Quicktime then export to be viewed on an iPod. I don't have access to the .flas, all I have are the swfs.

The problem I'm having is after imported the .swfs into Quicktime I'm exporting the file as a mv4, but I'm getting no audio. I'm hearing audio inside of Quicktime, but it's getting lost in the export.

I'm working on a Mac with Quicktime Pro (7) and Flash 8.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Sound Import Problem
Hi there

Right so, when I download a sound clip from The Mushroom Kingdom website, and then play it in Windows Media Player, it seems to play fine at normal speed. When I play it in Flash, however, the clip appears to be high-pitched, where as regular music clips run fine! Have I done something wrong or is there something I need to do first?

How To Import Sound And Keep The Same Quality?
Hermm! I'm stuck on this- when I import an mp3 file onto flash, it ends up sounding of really horrible quality on Flash. Is there any way that i can make it sound better, if not any way to improve the sound quality?

Import External Sound?
How can I import and play external sound from a URL on the internet? I know how to import it from the library, but I need to import it from online.

If you can help, thanks.

Here is the sound file I made:

Sound Import Error
Hi

I keep getting the following error, "One or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them."
This error comes up every time I try to import some music into my flash document. I searched the Flash Support Center and found a something that said If i get this message I need to install QuickTime. I Uninstalled my version and installed the newest version and I still got the error message. I hope somebody can help me with this.

Thank-you for all your help.

No Sound When I Import + Convert Mp4's To Flv's
Hi

when I import an mpeg 4 movie into the libary on flash mx 2004, then export it as a flv to use in a flash movie player that I have written I lose all the sound, the sound options when I import it to the libary are set to intergrated so I cant see what the problem is?

is it something to do with it being a mpeg4? I noticed that flash didnt know what it was and when selecting the file to import from my harddrive, to make the movie show up I had to set it to 'all files'

could anyone shed any light on this as I am right at the end of my first project and this is KILLING ME !!!!!!!!!

thanks in advance

Import Sound File Type
I've created music and sound FX in Garage Band (on MAC, of course) and want to use the files in a flash anim being built on a PC. What file type should I import the sound files as (something rather uncompressed, preferably, because the animation will ultimately be compressed into MP4 and I'm trying to avoid compression over compression)? And what's the best way to export out of Garage Band (it seems to be sorta difficult...)?

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Import Sound .wav File Problem

(eg when it is played by windows media)

What should I do to make it work?

Import Sound And AttachSound From Server
Hello,

I'm interested in uploading an MP3 to the server and having a script in the swf import the mp3 to stream. I also want to manipulate the volume of this soundfile.

I saw the cool tute on the volume slider and used that code to import the MP3, but the mp3 still is inside the swf. Is there an easier way to do this so I don't always have to upload the whole mp3 with the swf file?

Does that make sense?

1. swf grabs mp3 on server
2. swf links to an attachSound element

First, thanks everyone for responding to my question on the forum. I have another question on importing the sound file into Flash. When I try to import a MP3 file, The file itself is not corrupt, but I got a message "one or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them". Is there a certain restriction on the file size? Thanks in advance for the hlep.

How To Import Sound When Importing An Avi-file?
I use FlashMX2004 and want to place a short video on my site, using the video as a button. I have made a video using Adobe Premiere and exported it as an avi-file. That avi file contains all the info about the video and the audio part. Now I understand that I can import an avi-file in FlashMX2004. Does this mean that the video and audio are imported at the same time? And do they come in seperate layers in Flash? Or is it nenessary to import the audiotrack seperately?

Can Flash Dynamically Import Sound Files ?
Hi All...

I'm thrilled that the loadMovie function can now dynamically load .jpgs in addition to .swf files. I am hoping to do the same with sound files. I tried a loadMovie and that didn't work but am wondering if there is another function that can do it.

I have a project with tens of thousands of sound files that need to be accessed so I don't want to have to import each one into a .swf file.

Any ideas?

thanks!!

Sound Files Not Appearing In Import Dialog Box
Hello,

When trying to import sound files, the files do not appear in the dialog box, even though the files are known to be in the folder it is browsing. It does not matter whether I select "all formats", or the specific format of the file (AIF). I also tried putting them in a different folder, and they do not appear there either.

Any suggestions?

[F8] No Sound With Import SWF Files In Movie Clips
Should it play the sound from SWF files when you import it through a movie clip???

I created an empty one.. then used loadMovie to load it

It plays but doesn't have sound , but it does have sound if you just play the SWF un-imported...

Is this normal?
Can I get the sound?

Bulk Import Statments Vs. Specific Import Statements...any Performance Difference?
Lets say I have 20 classes located at nl/amsterdam/simulation/model/. Now I'm writing another class that is going to use some of those 20 classes. Is there any performance difference in the compiled swf if I import them all using a wildcard:

Code:
package nl.amsterdam.simulation.view
{
import nl.amsterdam.simulation.*
...
versus importing each specific one that I need?:

Code:
package nl.amsterdam.simulation.view
{
import nl.amsterdam.simulation.model.Tulip;
import nl.amsterdam.simulation.model.Canal;
import nl.amsterdam.simulation.model.Prostitute;
import nl.amsterdam.simulation.model.StonedTourist;
import nl.amsterdam.simulation.model.BuisnessMan;
import nl.amsterdam.simulation.model.Windmill;
import nl.amsterdam.simulation.model.CoffeeShop;
import nl.amsterdam.simulation.model.SkinnyBuilding;
...
Or is there only a difference in the time it takes to compile, not the time it takes to execute?

When Is Necessary To Use Import Statements To Import Classes?
Hi,

I'm sure that it must be necessary to use import statements in some situations, I'm finding that my code often works fine without them. For example, some instructions will say it is necessary to use import.flash.events.MouseEvent; before MouseEvent.CLICK will work, or that I must import the loader class before loading an SWF, but I'm finding that I can skip timporting and it works fine. Could anyone please explain why this it, and give me some idea of how to knew when to import and when I don't have to?

Thank you in advance!

Can't Import Import Fl.controls.ComboBox
Hi all!

I am starting learning AS 3.0 (used to use AS 2, that was sweet times ) and actually can't understand simple thing - why I can't include that package from action script?

I actually start new Action Script 3 file, and put single line in first frame

Code:
import fl.controls.ComboBox
and got errors

Code:
1172: Definition fl.controls:ComboBox could not be found.
1172: Definition fl.controls:ComboBox could not be found.
Actually thats part from the code listed at the manual and I don't have any idea, why it doesn't work.

Also when I open components window and drag combobox to scene error is not showed any more.

Any ideas how can I solve this problem without adding combobox to the library?

[Flash 8] Import, Import, Import
Last edited by Nutrox : 2005-09-18 at 06:24.

 
Ahh!! I'm already getting a bit tired of having to continuously import classes into Flash for things like BitmapData, Rectangle, and Point etc. Is there a way I can set things up so that these classes don't need to be manually imported all of the time?

I've tried a few things including : (a) Creating extension classes, but Flash moans about class paths when I try to import something like flash.display.BitmapData into my own class. (b) Setting a class path so that it points at the class directory .. $(LocalData)/Classes/FP8/flash/display/ .. but that doesn't work either (I know why, but it was worth a shot). (c) Importing the entire class package .. import FP8.* .. but that causes errors with a tonne of other classes. import FP8.geom.* etc works though, but that doesn't really help.

Am I just missing something obvious here, or is there no way around this?

Import Via "import To Stage"
I opened a new AS2 document in Flash CS3

Now I imported the swf onto the stage but all that has happened is that the seperate swf componens are on the stage and not the complete clip?

Attach Sound, Play Sound & Stop Sound.
Hey there,

I was wondering if any of you could help me please.

I want to play a song which I have named "rundmc" The file extension is ".mp3"

I want a button to play this mp3 which I read you need to attach that sound, then play it and I want to a button to stop that sound, or preferably the play button to change into a stop button.

I've read the help files, but none of it works and I've changed the linkage for the mp3 to export for action script, but nothing works!!!

Please help,
