Adding sound in actionscript

Hi. I made a simple Quiz and it enters text "Congratulations"
when all 6 questions are correctly answered.
if (score == 6) {
output.text = "Congratulations";
That works OK but now I want to a short sound to come up at
the same time. Tried different arrangements of "addSound" but not
working yet. Any ideas please?

Hello, I'm having a problem with the following code (copied
from smartwebby.com), which is suppose to play music.
my_sound = new Sound();
my_sound.attachSound("mix1");
my_sound.start(0,1000);
gotoAndStop("stop");
I have two swf files. The file with the above code works
correctly when I call it directly. However when I load the movie
into another movie, the music doesn't play. I suspect that I need
to use _root, _parent or this somewhere in this code, but I don't
know where. Please help me correct this code. Thank you very much
for any help you may provide.

    Have you tried importing them into the EXS 24 ? Assuming the process is the same if you're on Logic X, its just a matter of putting the soundfont files into the ~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments folder and the EXS converts them when you try to load them - its explained properly in the Software Instruments manual (EXS24 section), but its very quick and  easy. It might provide a decent alternative.

  • Added sound card, no onboard audio no more

    i added an sb live value for the use of the joystick port only, not wanting to use ti as a sound card. the onboard audio of my 865pe neo2 fis2r msi 6728 no longer works. so how can i get back my onboard audio? my speakers are still plugged into the onboard. is this even posible? to use onboard audio, but use my joystick on the sb live card when playing games? or is it only one or the other? do i need to go into the bios maybe and tell it to use onboard audio? like maybe it changed cus of the new sb live value card?
    ok, i hooked up my speakers to the sb live card, it's fine i guess , but is it possible to use onboard audio with joystick port only from the live card? or because i have a sound card installed now, does that totally disable onboard completely unless i removed the live card?

    Yep No is the Answer, Because as soon as Windows Sees that you have a PCI sound card, it will not allow the Onboard sound chips Drivers to Load upon Bootup, I cant believe that you went through the Trouble of Installing a Sound Card that has a "MIDI" port, Instead of just Getting a USB Joystick , as the New USB Joysticks are Much more Responsive and Support Many More Games, and You can Get one For Less $ then you Paid for the Soundblaster .....Sean REILLY875

  • Playing sound using ActionScript 3.0 (newbie)

    I have a Flash animation I've created, and at the last minute we have decided to add one audio track to the background.  The problem is, I have a looping animation in the timeline, so simply inserting the audio into a layer in the timeline will not work (because it will loop as well).
    Can anyone help me with how to insert just one sound file "on top" of all the animations playing using ActionScript 3.0?  I've never worked with the Sound class, and have never put audio into a Flash file besides simply importing it into a frame.
    THANKS!
    Jen

    Worked perfectly.  Thank you thank you!

  • Adding sounds to alerts

    I was wondering if there was a way of adding more sounds to the system alert sounds like frog, basso, glass etc? Thanks

    Put an aiff audio file into ~/Library/Sounds and it should show up in the Sound Effects preference pane to be chosen as an alert sound.

  • Linkage sound to actionscript in flash cc

    Hi,
    i have an issue, maybe i dont understand the process well.
    - I imported a short mp3 in flash cc library.
    - I try to linkage it to actionscript, but i can' t.
    - If i click on the sound file, and choose properties, there is no checkbox to export for actionscript.
    I see an actionscript tab, but i can' t reach it. I can' t click on it.
    - How can i solve this issue ?

    Try saving this extension to the CC commands directory (I don't use CC, so I can't tell you the exact location, but in CS 6 is C:\Users\{you}\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS6\en_US\Configuration\Commands) and see if it gets you close to what you need. If so, you should be able to edit it to get you the rest of the way:

  • Sound Button, ActionScript 3.0

    Hi, I am a newbie to ActionScript but I do have an understanding of scripting. I have worked in designing games on a few game engines and now I am looking into ActionScript 3.0
    I created a script by getting some details here and there on the web and this is what Ive come up with,
    var loadSnd:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Sound.wav");
    var thisSnd:Sound = new Sound();
    thisSnd.load(loadSnd);
    Sound_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playF);
    function playF(event:MouseEvent);void{
              thisSnd:play(); //Line 8
    Output:
    Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 8
    1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before semicolon.
    I dont think this is a difficult error to fix but it is an issue for me at the moment.

    another error in your code:

  • Adding sound to buttons causes then not to work.

    I have a flash project with 3 buttons in each frame 1 button is the correct answer and two are not
    here is the code
    import flash.events.Event;
    btnA.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, checkCorrectness);
    btnB.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, checkCorrectness);
    btnC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, checkCorrectness);
    function checkCorrectness(e: Event): void {
      if (e.target == btnA) {
      if (correctA) {
      totalscore++;
      } else if (e.target == btnB) {
      if (correctB) {
      totalscore++;
      } else if (e.target == btnC) {
      if (correctC) {
      totalscore++;
      score.text = totalscore;
      if (totalscore == 18) {
      gotoAndStop(21);
      return;
      nextFrame();
    stop();
    var totalscore = 0;
    var correctA:Boolean = false;
    var correctB:Boolean = false;
    var correctC:Boolean = false;
    score.text=totalscore;
    each frame has this code below with the correct answer changing from frame to frame
    correctA = true;
    correctB = false;
    correctC = false;
    all works fine but now I have to use sound in the buttons so I duplicated a button and changed the name of one button to "true" and the original I changed to "false".
    I added  in each of the two new button names a sound effect ( sound 1 for button true and sound 2 for button false)
    So the frame list looks like this
    frame 1
    correctA = true;
    correctB = false;
    correctC = false;
    button name 1 true instance name btnA
    button name  2 false instance name btnB
    button name 3 false instance name btnC
    frame 2
    correctA = false;
    correctB = true;
    correctC = false;
    button name 1 false instance name btnA
    button name 2 true instance name btnB
    button name 3 false instance name btnC
    according to this each correct button would trigger sound1 telly the score and move to the next frame
    and each incorrect button would also tally the score and move to the next frame.
    Not all selections are making the frame move nor the score tally.
    any help.
    ALL OF THIS WORK FINE WITHOUT THE SOUND AND THE BUTON NAMES CHANGED. SO THE RESULT IS I ONLY HAVE A WORKING FILE BUT WITHOUT THE SOUNDS FOR EACH BUTTON.
    R

    Great works like a charm, one thing though. Every time I click the Incorrect button button I hear that audio twice . I checked the actual mp3 and it just one sound.
    Heres the code you gave me
    var correctSound:CorrectSound=new CorrectSound();  // assign this class
    var incorrectSound:IncorrectSound=new IncorrectSound();  "  "
    function checkCorrectness(e: Event): void {
      if (e.target == btnA) {
      if (correctA) {
      totalscore++;
    soundF(true);
      }else{
    soundF(false);
      } else if (e.target == btnB) {
      if (correctB) {
      totalscore++;
    soundF(true);
      }else{
    soundF(false);
      } else if (e.target == btnC) {
      if (correctC) {
      totalscore++;
    soundF(true);
      }else{
    soundF(false);
      score.text = totalscore;
      if (totalscore == 18) {
      gotoAndStop(21);
      return;
      nextFrame();
    function soundF(b:Boolean):void{
    if(b){
    correctSound.play();
    } else {

  • Adding Sound to Movie Clips

    I am relatively new to Flash and I have taken over a Flash
    project that was made out of Movie Clips (.swfs). This was done by
    creating the presentation out of 5 separate documents (saved as
    .swfs) with a behavior action added to the last frame of each file
    telling the movie to load the next external movieclip.
    Now that the project is finished, I am not sure if there is
    any way to add sound to the file since it is made out of separate
    movieclips rather than one long flash document. Everytime the new
    movieclip loads, the music will either start over at the beginning
    for that document, or stop playing all together. Is there any way
    to make the music play continously through all five movies?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks!

    Place the music in main level while loading the other content
    in level 1.
    Levels run independently and while the other movie keep
    loading one after
    another, it won't interrupt the sound in main level.

  • Need help with adding sound

    I want to add a short soundclip that plays when my nav bar
    loads. I edited down a song in Garageband to 3 seconds, then I
    exported it to iTunes. I assume I have to convert it to mp3 to put
    it into my Flash file, so my first question is this... how many
    kbps should I save the mp3 at? Normally I have mp3's in iTunes that
    are 128 or 192, but would this make my swf filesize too big? Can
    anyone suggest a setting?
    Then, once I convert my mp3 in iTunes, how would I bring it
    into my flash file and trigger it so it plays when the nav bar
    loads? Thanks!

    I don't know much about actionscript so please bear with me.
    When you say create the sound object, what exactly does that mean?
    Where do I put that code? I'd like the sound to trigger after the
    preloader loads everything and while the animation plays (logo
    flies in, nav bar swoops in from the right, pretty basic). Does
    this mean I should put the trigger on frame 3 since the preloader
    is taking up the first 2 frames? And does the sound object code go
    somewhere different or do I add it above the trigger code on frame
    3?
    Also, the way I'm setting up my Flash animation is that I'm
    going to put the same swf on the top of every one of my html
    tables, so every time the user clicks a button in the nav, the nav
    bar animation will reload and show the proper page (I'm not doing
    my whole site in Flash, just the nav and bringing into
    Dreamweaver). It might get a little annoying if the sound plays
    each time the user clicks a button, so is there any way to set it
    up with Actionscript that the sound only plays when the user
    initially goes to the index page? Or will I have to make a separate
    swf without the sound and put that on the top of all the other
    pages beside the homepage?
    With the mp3, I encoded it at 128 and it sounds really good,
    I was just wondering if it's overkill just for a 3 second byte.
    Does anyone else have any experience with this? I'm really not sure
    of what is an appropriate file size, is there a number where I
    shouldn't go over? It's a nav bar animation so I'd like it to load
    pretty fast. Right now the file is around 85 KB without the sound,
    I have no idea whether this is high or low...
    Thanks for your help!

  • Adding Sound FX...???

    Is there a way to add sounds NOT LOOPS but sound effects like for me, I have some WHOOSH sounds I would like to incorporate into a song. I am not sure how to go about importing that file into ST then using it in a song.

    A way to do this is by using a JMF player. Check out the JFM forum.

  • Adding sound to game application

    Can anyone assist me or provide a link as to how I can add sound to an application(non-applet)? In this case it is a space invaders clone tutorial; now I would like to add sound to when either the player or the aliens fire a laser. The problem is that I'm not sure how to do it. I initially tried using the AudioStream attribute from the sun.audio class but it did not work. Also I would like to add new images to the game background but when I add images to the panel, it does not appear when executed; the game loop I think affects this. Here is some code snippets:
    The initial setup function:
    public Game() {
              //ImagePanel p1 = new ImagePanel(new ImageIcon("City.png").getImage());
              // create a frame to contain our game

              panel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(800,600));
              panel.setLayout(null);
              // setup our canvas size and put it into the content of the frame

              // finally make the window visible
              container.pack();
              container.setResizable(false);
              container.setVisible(true);
              // add a listener to respond to the user closing the window. If they
              // do we'd like to exit the game
              container.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
                   public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
                        System.exit(0);
              // add a key input system (defined below) to our canvas
              // so we can respond to key pressed

    for basic sounds, you can use the JavaSound API.

    There are plugin libraries available that add MP3 and OGG support to it.

  • Adding sound to my presentation.

    I am new to making keynote presentation. I've been using powerpoint.
    Keynote is a lot like powerpoint and imovie mixed together. it is so easy to make and i like it a lot.
    Do you know how we could put the sound to the presentation?
    Thanks,

    Welcome to the forums!
    You can add various sounds to individual slides by dragging and dropping the sound onto the slide -- use the Build Inspector to control when the sound "builds in" and thus plays.
    You can also specify a set of songs/sounds to play across an entire presentation -- this is set in the Document Inspector. You can specify a single sound/song, or an entire iTunes playlist.
