Expand menu (movieclip) and music in music setting error - actionscript-3

I have make a menu in Flash that can expand and there music setting inside.
The music plays when the application starts. To stop the music you must expand the menu and click the music icon.
It's working fine after I open the program and stop the music.
And it's working if I want to play again.
But there's problems after that:
I can't stop the music again and the music playing double in background.
This is my FLA file:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DpqdH64kDnI8xN6fBAt3pwi_bIRQ52mT/view?usp=drivesdk
Can anyone tell me the fault of my program? Thanks.

About "music playing double" does your (audio) playback function create a new anything? (eg: = new Sound or = new SoundChannel)? If yes...
Create your audio variables once outside of functions, then use your functions only to stop/start audio playback.
Use new Sound only when loading a new track, once loaded then use one SoundChannel to play/stop that Sound object.
You need a Boolean to keep track of whether a Sound is already playing or not. If true then don't send another .play() command (now gives two sounds to output/speakers).
See if the code logic below guides you toward a better setup:
//# declare variables globally (not trapped inside some function)
var snd_Obj :Sound;
var snd_Chann :SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var snd_isPlaying :Boolean = false;
//# main app code
loadTrack("someSong.mp3"); //run a function, using "filename" as input parameter
//# supporting functions
function loadTrack (input_filename :String) : void
{
snd_Obj = new Sound();
snd_Obj.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, finished_LoadTrack);
snd_Obj.load( input_filename ); //read from function's input parameter
}
function finished_LoadTrack (event:Event) : void
{
snd_Chann = snd_Obj.play(); //# Play returned Speech convert result
snd_Obj.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSoundLoaded);
//# now make your Play and Stop buttons active
btn_play.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, play_Track);
btn_stop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stop_Track);
}
function play_Track (event:Event) : void
{
//# responds to click of Play button
if(snd_isPlaying != true) //# check if NOT TRUE, only then start playback
{
snd_Chann = snd_Obj.play();
snd_isPlaying = true; //# now set TRUE to avoid multiple "Play" commands at once
}
}
function stop_Track (event:Event) : void
{
//# responds to click of Play button
snd_Chann.stop();
snd_isPlaying = false; //# now set FALSE to reset for next Play check
}

Controlling Sound on flash video with Play/pause/stop buttons

I have a flash video that is short, has sound, and I've got Play Pause and Stop buttons.
Without sound, it works perfectly. It autoplays, you can hit pause and it pauses, and play resumes where it leaves off. Hitting stop goes to an empty frame if someone wants to turn it off.
I have audio inside my library, and would like connect the audio with the same elements. I've been researching for awhile now, and I've not come up with a solution yet, and having a hard time.
Here is my ActionScript code for my currently working buttons:
StopBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopplaying);
function stopplaying(Event:MouseEvent):void {
stop()
}
PlayBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startplaying);
function startplaying(Event:MouseEvent):void {
play()
}
CloseBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, close);
function close(Event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(240)
}
You should use Sound and SoundChannel to do this. And for pause you'll have to save the current play position so that you can continue from there:
var audio:Sound = new audioFromLibrary(); //linkage name
var soundChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var audioPosition:Number = 0;
//PLAY:
soundChannel = audio.play(audioPosition);
//PAUSE:
audioPosition = soundChannel.position;
soundChannel.stop();
//STOP:
soundChannel.stop();

Making multiple objects draggable

I have about 50 symbols that I want to make draggable. Nothing fancy, just the ability to click it and drag it to a different location.
I found as3 code for doing so but when I paste it into my file it gives me errors:
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Units, frame=1:Line 9: The class or interface 'MouseEvent' could not be loaded.
function mouseDownHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
That code is:
// Register mouse event functions
fighter_uk.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
fighter_uk.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
fighter_uk.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
fighter_uk.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
// Define a mouse down handler (user is dragging)
function mouseDownHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var object = evt.target;
// we should limit dragging to the area inside the canvas
object.startDrag();
}
function mouseUpHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var obj = evt.target;
obj.stopDrag();
}
I'm using flash pro 8, so I tried finding as2 code but couldn't find it.
Also, is there an 'easy' way to code all 50 objects?
I think you're trying to compile AS3 code with AS2 compiler. Try changing your compilation settings to target AS3.
Also you may need to include the class import at the top of your code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
To drag 50 objects, add them all on the same container sprite and add the listener to the container sprite only:
var holder:Sprite = new Sprite();
for ( var i:int = 0, l:int = 50; i < l; i++ ) {
var dragee:YOUR_CUSTOM_OBJECT = new YOUR_CUSTOM_OBJECT();
holder.addChild(dragee);
}
addChild(holder);
holder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
holder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
holder.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, mouseUpHandler);
var currentDragee:YOUR_CUSTOM_OBJECT = null;
function mouseDownHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
currentDragee = evt.target as YOUR_CUSTOM_OBJECT;
if ( currentDragee !== null ) {
currentDragee.startDrag();
holder.addChild(currentDragee); // bring current to front position
}
}
function mouseUpHandler(evt:Event):void {
if ( currentDragee !== null ) currentDragee.stopDrag();
currentDragee = null;
}
YOUR_CUSTOM_OBJECT being the object class you need to drag. Hope it helps!
This page seems to have the answers you are looking for (AS2 drag and drop). If you've already seen it, you'll need to explain why it's not good enough for your needs.
If you want to drag/drop multiple instances in AS2, you can still add the code to the movieClip symbol, export it from the library and load the instances up using attachMovie (all 50 of them). If they are all different, then attach the code as necessary to the clips themselves, or to some function elsewhere that will capture all the clicks and decide what was clicked. This is all very doable in AS2.
Remember you can use your onClipEvent(load) function to set up a lot of the initial lifting.
Here's a sample I made in AS2 for making a node tree. It's all draggable (mouse drag) and zoomable (with mouse Wheel). You can add nodes by clicking on the little down arrow in the node box. Each node is listening for the mouse.
You'll want to look at this section for the most part:
// Enable drag on button press
on (press)
{
startDrag(this);
}
// Stop the drag on release of mouse button
on (release)
{
stopDrag();
}
Besides this, I'm not really sure how your setup looks, so I hope this helps get the ball rolling. (Check the link, there's lots of little gems in there).
Flash Professional 8 only supports ActionScript 2 & 1
You can follow this official URL and learn how to do that in ActionScript 2, but I extremely recommend you to work with ActionScript 3.

Flash AS3 run function after Exit frame

i really need some AS3 Script for run some function when i leave a specfic frame.
my reason is to put some function to stop video and resume my sound of mp3 player AFTER i exit the frame that contain FLV playback .
i use this script and it`s work great in FLash projector but stage.invalidate(); cause the Third party application maker like Swfkit and Zinc Not responding after i try to exit from flv playback frame.
Here is my Script :
stage.invalidate();
mene.addEventListener(Event.RENDER,exitingF);
mene.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, removedF);
function exitingF(e:Event):void{
controller.gotoAndStop(2);
pausePosition = sndChannel.position;
sndChannel.stop();
isPlaying = false;
}
function removedF(e:Event):void{
mene.stop();
controller.gotoAndStop(1);
sndChannel = soundClip.play(pausePosition);
isPlaying = true;
}
all i need is some another way to say flash run some script right after exit specfic frame ( go to another frame )
Try using the addFrameScript() function.
It works like so: OBJECT.addFrameScript(FRAME, CALLBACK)
This will add a script to a timeline and the callback will be executed whenever the specified frame is reached.
Here's an example I found: http://blog.newmovieclip.com/2007/04/30/add-a-frame-script-addframescript-dynamically-in-flash-cs3/
package com.newmovieclip{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Main extends MovieClip {
public var myStar:Star;
//constructor
public function Main() {
//place a star on stage
myStar = new Star();
addChild(myStar);
//add script to star timeline on frame 5
myStar.addFrameScript(4,frameFunction); // (zero based)
}
private function frameFunction():void {
trace("Executing code for star Frame 5" );
//delete frame script by passing null as second parameter
myStar.addFrameScript(4,null);
}
}
}
Remember that frames are 0 based as mentioned in the inline comment from the example

Switch language (audio and lyric) seamlessly in Adobe Flash

I’m creating a multilingual flash game with multilingual narrations. Till now i’ve got one language with an audio stream and lyric to accompany it in it’s own timeline controlled by a button on the main timeline to pause and play. I would like to add 2 more languages with audio and own lyric(karaoke style) for each language in this scene. And eventually have buttons on the main timeline that would switch the language(audio and lyric) and seamlessly continue from where the last language left off. Till now I have this action from the main timeline controlling the audio and lyric. englyr being the movie clip, with audio and lyric in it.
toggleButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, toggleClick3);
toggleButton.buttonState = "off";
function toggleClick3(event:MouseEvent) {
if (toggleButton.buttonState == "on") {
englyr.play();
toggleButton.buttonState = "off";
} else {
toggleButton.buttonState = "on";
englyr.stop();
}
}
I’m assuming I should put the other 2 languages as well as their lyric in englyr so that I can disable/mute languages that are not needed to be heard or seen. One problem is I can’t group the lyric and the narration(2 layers) together as a movie clip in that timeline. Therefore cannot disable the 2 other languages that shouldn’t be heard or seen. Any solutions?
It's probably easier to let them both play from code instead of via the timeline.
The first thing to do is to go to the settings of your audioclips in the library, enable "Export for Actionscript" and set a different class name for both your clips. I have named mine "english" and "french".
The following code manages two sounds and changes the language when you press the button of a language that is currently not playing.
var englishClip:Sound = new english(); //load both sounds.
var frenchClip:Sound = new french();
//create the sound and the sound channel.
var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var mySound:Sound = englishClip;
//if you want to have lots of different languages it might be easier to just have different buttons instead of one with a state.
englishButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, SpeakEnglish);
frenchButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, SpeakFrench);
//we'll start with having just the english sound playing.
myChannel = mySound.play();
function SpeakEnglish(event:MouseEvent) {
if (mySound != englishClip) { //if the english sound is already playing, do nothing.
var currentPlayPosition:Number = myChannel.position; //save playback position.
myChannel.stop(); //stop playing
mySound = englishClip.play(currentPlayPosition); //resume playing from saved position.
}
function SpeakFrench(event:MouseEvent) {
if (mySound != frenchClip) { //if the French sound is already playing, do nothing.
var currentPlayPosition:Number = myChannel.position; //save playback position.
myChannel.stop(); //stop playing
mySound = frenchClip.play(currentPlayPosition); //resume playing from saved position.
}
This could all be made more compact by having a single function that you pass the appropriate sound to. It would look something like this:
function SpeakEnglish(event:MouseEvent) {
ChangeSound(englishClip);
}
function SpeakFrench(event:MouseEvent) {
ChangeSound(frenchClip);
}
function ChangeSound(newSound:Sound){
if (mySound != newSound) { //if the sound is already playing, do nothing.
var currentPlayPosition:Number = myChannel.position; //save playback position.
myChannel.stop(); //stop playing
mySound = newSound.play(currentPlayPosition); //resume playing from saved
}
And that should solve the problem, i hope that helped :)

Flash Gun Simulation

I wanted to know how to make a sound keep playing whilst the mouse is down e.g.machine gun bullets being fired (not on a click), and when the sound completes, I want the reload sound to play on a click?
The second parameter in sound's play method is the loop count. You can specify a large value for this. play method returns SoundChannel object. In your mouse up listener you can use this SoundChannel's stop method to stop the sound.
// instance variable to remember the channel
private var channel:SoundChannel;
private function onMouseDown(evt:MouseEvent):void {
// remember channel and start looping
channel = snd.play(0, 1000000);
}
private function onMouseUp(evt:MouseEvent):void {
// stop the sound stated in mouse down
channel.stop();
}
