How do you keep repeating a song in AS3 FlashCS6? - actionscript-3

I would like to know how do you repeat a song again and again in Flash CS6 using AS3?
currently i have this code:
var sound:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("YMCA.mp3"))
var soundChannel:SoundChannel = sound.play();
How do I repeat this song when it finishes again and again?
Thanks alot!

Add an event listener to your soundChannel:
soundChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, soundCompleteHandler);
function soundCompleteHander(e:Event):void {
sound.play();
}

this will make the sound to loop many times with a flawless and gap-less playback
var sound:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("YMCA.mp3"))
var soundChannel:SoundChannel = sound.play(0,999999999);

Looping sound in AS3

Trying to loop a background soundtrack while my flash program is in use.
So far my code is this:
//turn off sound
btnOff.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_stopsound);
function fl_stopsound(event:MouseEvent):void
{
SoundMixer.stopAll();
}
//turns sound on
btnOn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToPlayStopSound_1);
var fl_SC_1:SoundChannel;
//keeps track of whether the sound should be played or stopped
var fl_ToPlay_1:Boolean = true;
function fl_ClickToPlayStopSound_1(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
var mySound:Sound = new background();
mySound.play();
}
where btnOff turns off the sound and btnOn turns on the sound. My soundtrack is 1:50min long. Is it possible to loop the track within the program with these buttons?
Cheers
Use mySound.play(0, int.MAX_VALUE);

Lower volume of certain audio on frame with multiple audios. AS3

Okay, so, here's the deal, i have a sound steaming from an URL since the first frame (60 total), and i added another sound file (from the library) to a certain frame. As expected, both sounds overlapp, so i decided to make a mute function... the problem is, i cant get it to apply only to the streaming audio, the function mutes all audio, and i cant use the variable mySound because the mute function needs to be on other keyframe to work...
Here's the code of the streaming audio:
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var lastPosition:Number = 0;// pause button
mySound.load(new URLRequest("http://trollfacequiz.16mb.com/MusicFiles/Goat%20Songs.mp3"));
//mySound.play();
SoundMixer.stopAll();
myChannel = mySound.play();
btn_mute.btn_pause.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickPause);
btn_mute.btn_play.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickPlay);
function onClickPause(e:MouseEvent):void
{
btn_mute.btn_pause.visible = false;
lastPosition = myChannel.position;
myChannel.stop();
}
function onClickPlay(e:MouseEvent):void
{
btn_mute.btn_pause.visible = true;
myChannel = mySound.play(lastPosition);
}
And the mute function:
function setVolume(vol){
var volTransform:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform();
volTransform.volume = vol;
SoundMixer.soundTransform = volTransform;
}
setVolume(0);

Flash SoundChannel limit and memory management

I have a program that I use as a recording platform, and for each sound I play I make a new Sound.
public function playAudioFile():void {
trace("audio file:", currentAudioFile);
sound = new Sound();
sound.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorHandler);
sound.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, soundLoaded);
sound.load(new URLRequest(soundLocation + currentAudioFile));
}
public function soundLoaded(event:Event):void {
sound.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorHandler);
sound.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, soundLoaded);
var soundChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
soundChannel = sound.play();
soundChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, handleSoundComplete);
trace('soundChannel?', soundChannel);
}
public function handleSoundComplete(event:Event):void {
var soundChannel:SoundChannel = event.target as SoundChannel;
soundChannel.stop();
soundChannel.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE,handleSoundComplete);
soundChannel = null;
}
After 32 times, I stop getting a SoundChannel object when I call sound.play() (in soundLoaded). However, I don't need to have 32 SoundChannel objects because I play these sounds only serially and not at the same time. How can I get rid of the SoundChannel after I 'used' it to play a file?
You could be explicit about the soundChannel you use :
var soundChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
soundChannel = sound.play();
soundChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE,handleSoundComplete);
Then when you are done playing the sound, you can then set the channel to null so it will be marked for garbage collection :
function handleSoundComplete(e:Event):void
{
var soundChannel:SoundChannel = e.target as SoundChannel;
soundChannel.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE,handleSoundComplete);
soundChannel = null;
}
Keep in mind that you need to remove those event listeners that you show in your code above, when the sound is done loading.
Also keep in mind that when you set something to null, that just sets it as fair game for garbage collection, it doesn't force garbage collection.
Another note is that this code I have posted is just an example, and you might want to think about having several sound channels instances that you keep active, and reuse as needed. Management is required in that case, but then you will not be constantly creating/killing sound channels.

Streaming audio and video AS3

I have couple of videos that I'm streaming. I start with the video_1.flv and after it finishes the video_2.flv is running and looping until the user takes some action to play other movie for example video_3.flv. So I need when video_2.flv is playing in the background to be played audio file sound.mp3 witch is going to be looped , witch i managed to do. But I need both of them to run independently. Because right now when the video is looped the audio is looping to. And I need the audio to be playd only when video_2.flv is played. Thank YOU.
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
loader.vid.Video_1.attachNetStream(ns);
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onMetaData = function(evt:Object):void {};
ns.client = listener;
ns.play("http://media.easyads.bg/ads/display_ads_richmedia/video/avon/maria_ilieva/video_1.flv");
ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, NCListener);
var clipTimer:Timer = new Timer(4000);
function NCListener(e:NetStatusEvent){
if (e.info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
ns.play("http://media.easyads.bg/ads/display_ads_richmedia/video/avon/maria_ilieva/video_2.flv");
sound.load(req);
shaker(null);
}
};
var sound:Sound = new Sound();
var soundChannel:SoundChannel;
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("sound.mp3");
sound.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSoundLoadComplete);
function onSoundLoadComplete(e:Event):void{
sound.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSoundLoadComplete);
soundChannel = sound.play();
soundChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onSoundChannelSoundComplete);
}
function onSoundChannelSoundComplete(e:Event):void{
e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onSoundChannelSoundComplete);
soundChannel = sound.play();
}
loader.button_01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, play_video_01);
loader.button_01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, play_effect_01);
function play_video_01 (event:MouseEvent){

How can you stop a sound from playing in as3?

I have this code in the second frame to play a song, and it works fine. The class of the sound in my library being "MySound".
var snd:MySound = new MySound
snd.play();
Now I need the song to stop playing from a latter frame.
You have to use SoundChannel class for this:
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
mySound.load(new URLRequest("myFavSong.mp3"));
myChannel = mySound.play();
// ...
myChannel.stop();
Reference: http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/as3sound/ (Section 4 - Stopping a Sound)
//*This code for playing the sound after import to the library*
var mySound:Sound = new MenuMusic();
var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
myChannel = mySound.play();
//*This code for the nextframe button*
btn_easy.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, btneasy);
function btneasy(event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndPlay(62);
myChannel.stop();
}
Reminder :
You don't have to drag the sound file to the timeline . Just paste the
code to the designated Action Script of the button.
var mySound:Sound = new MenuMusic();
'MenuMusic' can be changed what you want. Just Right click the sound
file in the library then select Properties . Click ActionScript Tab and
check 'Export for ActionScript' and you can now changed the name in
'Class' Input Box..
It works so fine to me :)
Hope it solved the problem ! :D
