Flash Tutorial: Play Pause Toggle Button with actionscript 3; cs5 / cs5.5

Playing sounds using ActionScript 3.0 is not as simple as we hoped it to be as it requires using more than one class to perform even the simplest of tasks relating to sound such as pausing or changing the sound volume. This tutorial will teach you all the basics you need to learn how to start playing local sound.

Sounds in ActionScript 3.0 are manipulated through the collaborative work of several classes together. This is a much more complex structure than previous versions of ActionScript, but it is argued that this format will provide you with greater control and the ability to micro manage sounds. Here are the relevant classes related to sounds: Sound Class - This is the main class in which a sound will actually reside. This class is the starting point of any sound related program and is used to start playing a sound. SoundChannel Class - A sound can be played through a sound channel which provides additional controls over a sound object, the most basic of these additional controls is the ability to stop the playback of a sound.

Stopping A Sound

In addition the ability to play a sound, you will obviously also want to know how to stop your sound after you play it. The Sound Class does not have a method for stopping a sound. The SoundChannel Class must be used to perform that task. A SoundChannel is a class that is used to hold a raw sound object and then manipulate it using the methods and properties of the SoundChannel Class. The methods and properties you should be aware of are: .stop() - this method stops the sound playing through the channel. .position - this property is used to retrieve the current playback position of the sound playing through the channel.

[paranoi4en]

@zorro30mum I saw your channel, and you seem to be good at web design and stuff. I am going to university soon, so which will you advise me to learn - Java or C#?

[JoshMendia]

Really Good Tutorial !

What changes can I make to do the opposite? (Your Video starts: playing the song then you can Pause then Play).

But I want to make it the same as yours but with the exception of the song to be stopped then Play and Pause!

Please advise.

@janya171 you didn't give an instance name to the movie clip created with the two buttons

it must be called btn

[PlamenSotirov]

works great !!! Thanks

to everyone that gets mistakes watch the script carefuly for typing errors etc.

I wanted to make an infinite loop with my sound, so I just make it play again in the SOUND_COMPLETE event, and register the SOUND_COMPLETE event again. Not sure if this is a good way thought... any advice anyonw ? ^^
