Build Simple Sound Player: Flash Tutorial AS 3.0

[televisionteevee]

Thanks so much! I wanted my audio file to play automatically upon page load, and was able to do that as well!! Mr. Tutvid - you've always been a HUGE HELP, and you're a great teacher!!! Thank you!

[nalgazo]

would it be possibel for you to make one where you press a button and it shows a radom number and plays that random numbers sound, i want to make a game that teaches spanish, i want to do this with numbers days week and months, i just need coding for pressing a button and say 10 random numbers play and display them numbers,

Thanks

[ryanfc]

What line(s) in the code do I change if I want it to autoplay? So when the page loads the music starts then they use the buttons to start or stop it as they wish? Thanks.

[ProtocolsMaster]

Thank You Very Much

[TusharVatsa31]

thnx very much

[TusharVatsa31]

superb work bro

[alexandruagapi]

this is very cool :) thx for help.

[swedenips]

Oh. My. Good. God. You Sir just saved my life. I spent 5 hours going crazy until 6am the other day trying to solve this problem. I'd created two buttons to play and pause but the play button kept overlaying new sounds and the pause button wouldn't cause any action. I now love SoundMixer.stopAll();

RELIEF!

[blagmusic]

[aqcheryl]

For all those that got compiler errors - you must have the sound files in the same folder as your flash file

[sammysroutee66]

REQUEST TUTORIAL

MP3 player with playlist in flash AS2

:)

[sciologos]

I have several player-buttons on my page. How do I stop all sounds when I press play on one of the other buttons? I've tried this:

Code:

import flash.media.SoundMixer;

SoundMixer.stopAll();

but it doesn't work out. Do I need to number the players somehow?

Also, when the MP3 has finished playing it should turn into a play button. As of right now it's a stop-button when it's finished playing. How do I change it to a play-button?

[SalvationStudios1]

How do you do this with a sound file in the library? I'd really appreciate knowing because URLs can be very risky because 1. No one has what you put on their computer or in the same locale. 2. Websites can change at anytime.

[MisterMarmatote]

@SalvationStudios1 just save the flash project in the same folder as the file i guess, it worked for me... this was a year ago you asked lmao you probly figured it out by now

[warface21]

I need your help - I am trying to make a movie and I want it so that when i click the start movie button it will go to a different frame and play a different sound. I have both sounds in the library and I don't want to start over. Please help

[KbhAllStars]

how can i make this play automaticly..?

like "autoplay" when i open the player :)

Thx

[rockomoron]

@KbhAllStars hi brother

did you got the help with ?

it happen the same with me

i wanna it plays automaticly and loop for ever till i press stop...

i if get the help with let me know please

or anybody know's please help me

thank a million...

[BurningArtsStudios]

Mine said in the errors list it said:

ArgumentError: Error #2068: Invalid sound.

at flash.media::Sound/play()

at PLayer2_fla::MainTimeline/play­F()

What is wrong?

[BeckySilva08]

Hi thanks for the video, very helpful indeed!!!

Just a quick question though, when the sound finishes, is it possible to make it so the button changes again? I mean, when the sound finishes, I wantes it to either loop the sound till the user click stop, OR have it so the play button comes up again when the sound it over. Please help!!! :)

[hibludij]

I did it like this, there is probably an easier way though.

var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(lenght of the song in miliseconds);

myTimer.addEventListener(Timer­Event.TIMER,stopFT);

function stopFT(event:TimerEvent):void{ stop_btn.visible = false;

play_btn.visible = true;

myTimer.stop();

}

oh, and put a myTimer.start(); in the playF function and myTimer.stop(); in the stopF function

[BeckySilva08]

thank you so much, I'm gonna try that.. :)

[rockomoron]

@hibludij Hey I'm reading your comment it's interesting...

How do i keep looping the sound ?

because when the it ends it stop by itself but the animation keeps playing bout the sound stops can you help me how to set for looping please ...

[bellasooky]

[Iglitchlife]

[MisterMarmatote]

@Iglitchlife how do you have adobe shit if you didnt know what to do with em, there like professional software, you just torrent random shit that you see on the internet?

[djmatche]

Please how about to add a Second music on it.

I have been trying. but if add in the same frame, there is errors.

[TheMightySlusk]

does any1 know if there should be any changes in the action script if you use flash cs4? its not working for me :/

[spima]

There's no change, it's still AS3

[ir3nicus]

TheMightySlusk , I check this tutorial out also in CS4. and I found a solution. You have to change this line:

sndTrans=thisSnd.stop();

on this one:

sndTrans.stop();

[mansion10000]

Nice Tutorial! Too bad I knew this already. LOL.

Answer to julianic81:

Add that play function right after the load function and change that first stop_btn.visible in between the button event listeners to play_btn.visible = false;

[MrTrianglz]

can you make a track tutorial.

[julianic81]

this is beautiful thank for sharing this with us but a I have one question how I can have the sound playing auto! thank you for your help!!

[SwordSkill2]

Do you know hot to make a movieclip when is being in hitTest to play a sound???

I tryed this: if(_root.mpla.hitTest(this)){l­oad(Sound)}

but didn't worked.. Do you know the code for playing sounds?

[PrettyPrincezz100]

I have seen many of your videos an I have to say your are very good at explaining things

In your tutorials

[kellthusad]

I got this Error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Can some1 help me with this!!!???

[steveinater]

thanks a lot for this tut helped a lot. quality on youtube sucks though high quality one was much easyer to view the text.

[MGSFan09]

Thanks this really helped!!

Note: To those who are getting the file stream error you have to import the sound file into the stage NOT the library.

Do this by going to:

File>Import>Import to Stage, then just go to your sound file.

AND you MUST MUST MUST save your file. After you'ce saved it, then preview your mp3 player and it WILL work. I had the very same problem with streaming etc.

Hope this helps!

If you have anymore questions about streaming etc. feel free to mail me.

[superfly100088]

3.0 is not as good as 2.0

[DJBassEnergy]

Why?

[superfly100088]

2.0 is easier.

[walkerm930]

there are alot of problems with it (notably preloaders) but it is more powerful and newer in general

[leonelc29]

3.0 are cooler.

[TheArtOfGames]

I get this because i have only AS 2

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=AS, frame=147:Line 1: Operator '=' must be followed by an operand var loadSnd; URLRequest = new URLRequest(*5.Where i may Roam.mp3*)

[oboyisreal]

[theinstantramen]

[varnol]

Man, I love tutvid tutorials. Crystal clear and very helpful.

[HIDDENDARKNESS727]

I fixed it okay here is the whole script with no errors

var loadSnd:URLRequest = new URLRequest("your .mp3 file");

var thisSnd:Sound = new Sound();

thisSnd.load(loadSnd);

your button name.addEventListener(MouseEve­nt.CLICK,playF)

function playF(event:MouseEvent):void{

thisSnd.play();

}

[HIDDENDARKNESS727]

Alright for all you guys out there that are having problems with the coding there is only one issue im having is on line 8 thisSnd.play() but i will post the script without that and there are no errors as i checked it throughly

var loadSnd:URLRequest = new URLRequest("");

var thisSnd:Sound = new Sound();

thisSnd.load(loadSnd);

playbtm.addEventListener(Mouse­Event.CLICK,playF)

function playF(event:MouseEvent);void{

}

[TheTimeLord903]

[MindFreakTheMon]

[orgatecmass]

[Timbasonlaoriginal]

can someone copy and paste this codes in the comment thanks that will help some one who is a blind person

[spookykittor]

I second that. O.O I cannot get it.. so many errors. x.x -might be blind- LOL

[olovkallgarn]

You just ended 13 hours of frustration coupled with misery and despair! Very good stuff. Unbelievable how hard it can be to find something on elementary AS like this. Took me long before I found this great vid.

[Hypn0dude]

I've tried this, when I press play I get this:

Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. at player_fla::MainTimeline/playe­r_fla::frame1()

ArgumentError: Error #2068: Invalid sound. at flash.media::Sound/play() at player_fla::MainTimeline/playF­()

Any ideas anyone?

[DaFobKing]

it might be becuase you are using the wrong type of actioscript, this MUST be action script 3 (only available in adobe flash CS3). If not then you may have made a typing error, have look, if not then i dont know what it could be

[gabriela842004]

I have got the same problem and I am using actionscript 3 and I didn't type errors ( I copy paste your code) ! I don't understand what's the problem :(

[HearGongOut]

erm.....¬¬ u nid actionscript 2.0 mate not 3.0

i don't know why, its just the way to use actionscript in action 2 is better or (noy sure) easier than actionscript 3.0 i think.

Try actionscript 2.0 and see what happens, ya?

[schopenhauerjr]

yeah i got something similar. i think it has to do with name or location of the sound file on your HD, however when i placed a sound from the net it worked.

[Lu1as]

Hi I just wanna know if can do that in Flash 8?

and if you put here AS ?

thanx

[anthonyjaisingh]

Great stuff! any idea how to make the music start playing automatically after loading without having to hit play?  Thanks heaps Nate!

[nosferotica1]

do it as:

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_F­RAME,playM);

then define the function...

function playM(e:Event):void{ sndTrans = sound.play();

}

... I'm getting the "null object or reference" error with the stop button though X(

[eimanz]

Really great tutorial, thanks much!

[Snipto]

[flashmaggot]
