I have this code to stream a mp3 file:
var isPlaying:Boolean;
var pausePoint:Number;
var soundChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var sound:Sound = new Sound( new URLRequest( 'mp3file.mp3' ) );
var volumeAdjust:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform();
soundChannel = sound.play();
isPlaying = true;
function clickPlayPause(evt:MouseEvent) {
if (isPlaying)
{
pausePoint = soundChannel.position;
soundChannel.stop();
//hide pause sign
control_mc.play_btn.pausee.alpha = 0;
//show play sign
control_mc.play_btn.playy.alpha = 1;
isPlaying = false;
} else {
soundChannel = sound.play(pausePoint);
isPlaying = true;
//hide play sign
control_mc.play_btn.playy.alpha = 0;
//show pause sign
control_mc.play_btn.pausee.alpha = 1;
}
}
function clickStop(evt:MouseEvent) {
if (isPlaying) {
soundChannel.stop();
isPlaying = false;
}
pausePoint = 0.00;
}
So as you can see, the code above also includes some event handling functions to handle my play/pause button. It all works, but it takes a good two seconds for the music to actually stop playing. It also takes a while to start back up again. Does anyone know why this is? And how I can fix it?
Thanks
Greensock tweener has the features to fade in and fade out the audio, that will help you to hide the lag while hearing the audio file.
Import the Greensock tweener and activate the plugins
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.plugins.*;
TweenPlugin.activate([VolumePlugin]);
then
if(palying){
TweenLite.to(soundChannel, .5, {volume:0});
}else{
TweenLite.to(soundChannel, .5, {volume:1});
}

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);
I've been doing a soundplayer for my assignment.Came across some issues. No compile error neither runtime error is appearing and my sound player functions well but I can't hear the song playing.
var mySound:Sound = new Sound ();
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("playList.xml");
var mySoundChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel;
var playing:Boolean = true;
var resumeTime:Number = 0;
var loadedXML:XML;
var mySongs:XMLList;
var myTotal:Number;
var myXMLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myXMLLoader.load(myURL);
myXMLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
function processXML (e:Event):void {
loadedXML = XML(e.target.data);
mySongs = loadedXML.SONG;
myTotal = mySongs.length();
}
btnPlayPause.buttonMode =true;
btnStop.buttonMode =true;
btnPlayPause.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound);
btnStop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopSound);
function playSound(m:MouseEvent){
if(playing==true){
btnPlayPause.gotoAndStop("lbPause");
mySound.load(myURL);
mySoundChannel = mySound.play(resumeTime);
playing = false;
} else {
btnPlayPause.gotoAndStop("lbPlay");
resumeTime = mySoundChannel.position;
mySoundChannel.stop();
playing = true;
}
}
function stopSound (f:MouseEvent):void {
mySoundChannel.stop();
}
Help is appreciated very much.
It seems like you trying to play sound only if it already playing, while stoping sound if it is NOT playing:
function playSound(m:MouseEvent){
if(playing==true){
btnPlayPause.gotoAndStop("lbPause");
mySound.load(myURL);
mySoundChannel = mySound.play(resumeTime);
playing = false;
} else {
btnPlayPause.gotoAndStop("lbPlay");
resumeTime = mySoundChannel.position;
mySoundChannel.stop();
playing = true;
}
}
I see this code like this:
function playSound(){
if(playing){
mySound.play();
} else {
mySoundChannel.stop();
}
}
Maybe this is the root of problem
i need some help with my actionscript 3 project. I have a button with a sound in it. I have some code (see below) that when i press the button it plays the sound and if i press the button again it stops the sound (like a mute/unmute button). The problem is that when i press the button to play the sound for the second time it plays two sounds (the same sound twice) and if i press the button to play the sound more times the same sound plays many times. Can you please help me solve the problem? Thank you.
function setMute1(vol){
sTransform1.volume = vol;
SoundMixer.soundTransform = sTransform1;
}
var sTransform1:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform(1,0);
var Mute1:Boolean = true;
sound1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,toggleMuteBtn1);
function toggleMuteBtn1(event:Event) {
if(Mute1 === false) {
Mute1 = true;
setMute1(0);
} else {
Mute1 = false;
setMute1(1);
}
}
From what I understand you start the sound by assigning it to the buttons hit frame? You need to have the sound started by the code in order to control the sound in good way.
Here is an working example based on your code, that loads an external mp3 file. The sound is played and stopped via the same button.
// load the sound
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
mySound.load(new URLRequest("loop.mp3"));
var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
// tool you need for manipulating the volume;
var sTransform1:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform(1,0);
// The sound starts not muted
var Mute1:Boolean = true;
var vol:Number = 0;
sound1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,toggleMuteBtn1);
// Set the sound volume;
function setMute1(vol)
{
sTransform1.volume = vol;
SoundMixer.soundTransform = sTransform1;
// Check if sound is muted
if (vol<=0)
{
Mute1 = true;
}
else
{
Mute1 = false;
}
}
// Start/stop sound
function startOrStop()
{
if (Mute1 === false)
{
myChannel.stop();
setMute1(0);
}
else
{
setMute1(1);
myChannel = mySound.play();
}
}
// This happens when you click the buttom
function toggleMuteBtn1(event:Event)
{
startOrStop()
}
In actionscrip 2 there was a function that would stop all sounds, in actionscript 3 you can't do that anymore, but you can still assign sounds to frames.
This example mutes and unmutes the sound. The sound is't stopped, just muted.
Also here the sound must be assigned in the code, and not to the frame.
// load the sound
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
mySound.load(new URLRequest("loop.mp3"));
var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
// tool you need for manipulating the volume;
var sTransform1:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform(1,0);
// The sound starts not muted
var Mute1:Boolean = true;
var vol:Number = 0;
sound1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,toggleMuteBtn1);
// Set the sound volume;
function setMute1(vol)
{
sTransform1.volume = vol;
SoundMixer.soundTransform = sTransform1;
// Check if sound is muted
if (vol<=0)
{
Mute1 = true;
}
else
{
Mute1 = false;
}
}
// Toggle mute on/off
function toggleMute()
{
if (Mute1 === false)
{
setMute1(0);
}
else
{
setMute1(1);
}
}
// This happens when you click the buttom
function toggleMuteBtn1(event:Event)
{
// if not playing, the sound
if (myChannel.position != 0) {
} else {
myChannel = mySound.play();
}
toggleMute();
}
I'm new with AS3,I'm building a full flash website where I tried to include background music with play,pause and stop button(the play and pause is the same button). The problem is the music player play automatically when the page load and when I click the HOME button of my website the music plays again and overlap with the music that played first, so what should I do..thanks in advance
stop();
function goHome (e:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("HOME");
}
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goHome);
function goAbout (e:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("COMPANY");
}
company_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goAbout);
function goTestimony (e:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("TESTIMONY");
}
news_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goTestimony);
function goProduct (e:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("PRODUCT");
}
product_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goProduct);
function goContact (e:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("CONTACT");
}
contacts_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goContact);

Is this code in the frame 1?
Is frame 1 labelled 'HOME'?
If so I would add a new frame at the beginning of the timeline (new frame 1) and move the code into it. This way, the code would still be in frame 1, the frame 'HOME' would be frame 2, and so on.
You would need to slightly update your code:
replace stop() with gotoAndStop('HOME');
This is so weird, this post wont let me start the sentence with hello hi or howdy maybe cache issue, anyways, hello, i'm very very new to AS3 so my knowledge is limited, hoping you pros can take it easy on the new guy :).
I'm building a flash site with an animation that loops and i've added an mp3 song as background music, it's also set to loop and auto play. the problem is, that the song is longer than the animation, and when the animation goes back to frame 1, the song overlaps the one that's still playing. I'd like for the song to fully finish before it starts playing again. yeaaah there's probably a heap of code missing, but i got closer to what i want, just need your help to polish it a little.
here is the code so far
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
//var codes
var AutoPlay:Boolean=true;
var isPlaying:Boolean=false;
var pausePosition:Number=0;
var myMusic:Sound=new Sound();
var soundFile:URLRequest=new URLRequest("Fluke.mp3");
myMusic.load(soundFile);
var channel:SoundChannel;
//if commands
if (AutoPlay==true) {
channel=myMusic.play(pausePosition);
isPlaying=true;
}
//pausebutton functions
pause_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pauseSound);
function pauseSound(e:MouseEvent):void
{
if (isPlaying == false) {
channel = myMusic.play(pausePosition);
isPlaying =true;
}else{
pausePosition=channel.position;
channel.stop();
isPlaying=false;
}
}
//playbutton functions
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playMus ic);
function playMusic(event:MouseEvent):void
{ if (isPlaying== false) {
channel=myMusic.play(pausePosition);
isPlaying=true;
}
}
THIS is the full working code thanks to Josha, with an .addEventListener that i added so that the song would loop after its finished playing.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
//var codes
var AutoPlay:Boolean=true;
var isPlaying:Boolean;
var pausePosition:Number;
var myMusic:Sound;
var soundFile:URLRequest;
var channel:SoundChannel;
// only create music and register event listeners one time
if (myMusic == null)
{
soundFile = new URLRequest("Fluke.mp3");
myMusic = new Sound();
myMusic.load(soundFile);
pausePosition = 0;
if (AutoPlay)
{
channel = myMusic.play(pausePosition);
isPlaying = true;
}
else
{
isPlaying = false;
}
pause_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pauseSound);
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMusic);
channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onPlaybackComplete);
}
channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onPlaybackComplete);
function onPlaybackComplete(event:Event) {
pausePosition = 0;
channel = myMusic.play(pausePosition);
isPlaying = true;
channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onPlaybackComplete);
}
//playbutton functions
function pauseSound(e:MouseEvent):void
{
if (isPlaying == false) {
channel = myMusic.play(pausePosition);
isPlaying =true;
channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onPlaybackComplete);
}else{
pausePosition=channel.position;
channel.stop();
isPlaying=false;
}
}
//playbutton functions
function playMusic(event:MouseEvent):void
{
if (isPlaying== false) {
channel=myMusic.play(pausePosition);
isPlaying=true;
channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onPlaybackComplete);
}
}
I can not place comments yet, so have to use answer.
Are you placing your code in separate AS files; or is this code placed at the first frame of your animation?
If the latter is the case, that indeed you will get overlapping sounds. Since the actionscript code is executed every time the playhead returns to frame 1; creating a new Sound object and starting to play that sound.
A simple solution is to create a key frame at the last frame and add the following action script:
gotoAndPlay(2);
This will loop your animation from frame 2, skipping over the action script.
Another solution that might work (you would have to test it):
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
//var codes
var AutoPlay:Boolean=true;
var isPlaying:Boolean;
var pausePosition:Number;
var myMusic:Sound;
var soundFile:URLRequest;
var channel:SoundChannel;
// only create music and register event listeners one time
if (myMusic == null)
{
soundFile = new URLRequest("Fluke.mp3");
myMusic = new Sound();
myMusic.load(soundFile);
pausePosition = 0;
if (AutoPlay)
{
channel = myMusic.play(pausePosition);
isPlaying = true;
}
else
{
isPlaying = false;
}
pause_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pauseSound);
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMusic);
}
//playbutton functions
function pauseSound(e:MouseEvent):void
{
if (isPlaying == false) {
channel = myMusic.play(pausePosition);
isPlaying =true;
}else{
pausePosition=channel.position;
channel.stop();
isPlaying=false;
}
}
//playbutton functions
function playMusic(event:MouseEvent):void
{
if (isPlaying== false) {
channel=myMusic.play(pausePosition);
isPlaying=true;
}
}
