Is it possible to get whole waveform of a mp3 sound in AS3 without the need to pass all the sound with the playhead and how?
Are there any functions that do this work.
I'm not sure if I completely understand your question, but you're probably looking for the SoundMixer class, which has a computeSpectrum() function that gives you a snapshot of the current sound wave: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/media/SoundMixer.html#computeSpectrum()

was wondering how i can check if sound object is buffering a http audio stream in as3? like shoutcast/icecast etc. i searched but nothing came to me that can do this job. so any hint or idea will be appreciated. i found isbuffering but the problem that isbuffering only stop when whole sound is loaded and this will never happen in a streamed audio.
Thanks alot
You can handle the "progress" event or check changing of the "bytesLoaded" property.
I'm trying to play a sound (notification sound) in my flash application and I need to play the sound until the user clicks on something else to stop it.
I can play the sound properly but the issue is that it will only play once but i need it to play constantly (a short delay between each play maybe?).
my current code is this:
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
mySound.load(new URLRequest("iphonenoti_cRjTITC7.mp3"));
mySound.play();
so I thought I can use setInterval(mySound,5000); in my code but this doesn't work which means it doesn't play the sound on the loop!
could someone please advise on this?
Thanks in advance.
Well, reading the Documentation of setInterval it states that the first parameter should be a function. In your code, you are passing an Object of the type Sound.
So, there are a couple of options, I'll show you the quickest and dirtiest one.
Instead of setInterval(mySound,5000); you write setInterval(mySound.play,5000);
I'm having trouble with sound in Flash. I may have went about coding the wrong way, because most of my codes are on frames.
So, I have these two variables
var outsideDay:Sound = new daysong();
var outsideNight:Sound = new nightsong();
And I want to play these songs on a specific frame. However, the sounds play sporadically, like 50 times at once. I think it's because I have other codes that link to the frames with a Enter_Frame function. How can I get the sounds to loop and not play multiple times at once?
Have you dropped the sound anywhere on the timeline in any frame? If so remove that frame.
Also, if you have your code declared on a keyframe that does not have a stop(); call on it, likely it is hitting that frame over and over again, when it "enters" it. Try adding stop(); either at the beginning of your code or at an ending key-frame, wherever it makes most sense for your project.
After trying those two things, another method I have learned to love that may come in handy is:
flash.media.SoundMixer.stopAll();
This will stop all sounds so that whatever sounds you start to play after making this call will not have other previously started sounds to contend with.
This sound tutorial may also be of use to you.
Let us know how it goes, or if any of this stuff helped.
I made a small game in Actionscript 3.0 and flash.
When the player wins the game or is 'game over' the player should have a option to replay the game.
So my question is: Is there a way to replay the whole movie with Actionscript? I know, i could reset the timeline back to 0, and re-instantiate all the classes, movieclips, var's ect... but i was wondering if anyone knows a easier solution.
Simply do this:
import flash.net.*;
//...
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(stage.loaderInfo.url), "_level0");
You can remove the swfObject and add it again. Look here. This is the swfObject reference.
Reload the page, where you've embedded the swf into, may be the easiest way.
The programmers way would be to encapsulate your whole application into a single class (extending Sprite or MovieClip) which will be attached to the stage. For restarting the game you could simply remove that instance from the stage and add a newly created onto the stage.
Or make a loader swf, that loads your game. Then if the game should be restarted, discard (unload) the instance and load it again.
Its hard to tell you what you can do, if we don't know, how your project is structured.
I've been working on an AS3 application and it's nearing completion. At the same time, one of the designers I work with has been building a movieclip in a separate .fla that acts as an intro animation to the application. The intro uses the 3D motion tweening capabilities of Flash CS4 / Player 10, and runs fine in the .fla in which it was built.
The problem is that when I import the movieclip into the main .fla for the application, when I dynamically instantiate the movieclip and add it to the stage, I get a barrage of the following runtime error:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property null not found on fl.motion.KeyframeBase and there is no default value.
at fl.motion::KeyframeBase/getValue()
at fl.motion::MotionBase/getValue()
at fl.motion::Animator3D/setTime3D()
at fl.motion::AnimatorBase/set time()
at fl.motion::AnimatorBase$/processCurrentFrame()
at fl.motion::AnimatorBase$/parentEnterFrameHandler()
I'm guessing just based on the number of errors like this that I receive that there's one per keyframe in the tweening movieclip. I've checked to ensure that the Flash publish settings are identical across the two .fla files, and although the stage sizes differ slightly, I don't think that's the issue here. I've also googled the issue and found nothing but but this lonely thread on kirupa.
Any thoughts?
Okay--turns out the problem was that we had a local version of the fl.motion package in the Actionscript source paths that was out of date. Now everything's tweening along happily!
As far as I know you once you apply a 3D Motion Tween to a clip, you can no longer modify it by actionscript.
I'd suggest either copying the clip, without the tween, so you can access and modify it via actionscript, as for the animation, maybe go for Copy Motion as Actionscript 3.0. It will spit out a nasty looking bulk of code. The alternative is to 'redo' the animation using something like TweenLite which has nicer syntax. You would select the motion tween, give it an instance then use instance.motion.keyframes to loop through the keyframes and get the position and rotation values for example.
It's not as ideal as it should be :(
Have a look at the flashthusiast.com website for more insights on the new tweens and how to work with them.
Goodluck,
