Audio Won't Play Except From the Beginning

Hi, I'm currently trying to learn how to animate using Flash CC 2014.
So I understand that in order to import audio into Flash, you need to create a layer for it, which I have done successfully.
But my issue is that I've seen that in the past (in flash animation tutorials), if you scroll through the animation's timeline, you can hear the audio play from where you left off, and if you scroll, you can even hear the audio scroll backwards and forwards with your mouse. But when I do so, I can't hear anything.
I can only hear the audio if I play the animation from the beginning, but if I am going to be animating and lip syncing, it's going to grow incredibly tedious for me to have to play through the entire animation to hear what I need to animate next.
Is there a fix for this or is there a setting I have to apply so that audio I've imported plays wherever I continue from the playhead?
I'm using Flash on a Mac if it's any help as well.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Oh my god I feel like an idiot.
Yeah, I had Canvas open because it was the first thing on the list and I assumed it was synonymous to a blank document.
I opened it in ActionScript and changed the properties and it worked perfectly, thank you and @kglad so much, I can finally get some work done!
Thanks again for your help!

Ipod touch won't play songs from the beginning

After upgrading to version 4.0.2, my ipod touch won't play music from the beginning. This happens no matter I play music in iTunes or using my ipod touch without connecting to the computer. I restarted the device and this still happens. What can I do about it? Can anyone help?

Hello lc_llc,
Double check each track to make sure the *Remember Playback Position* option has not been abled from under the Options tab of the track's *Get Info* window in iTunes.

I bought a macbook pro on november 2011 wich had Lion OS installed on it. Playback plug-in in Mainstage 2.1.3 does not play files from the beginning (it leaves out like 50 mSecs or so). Is there a way to revert to Snow Leopard OS?

...Is there any way I can install a partition that runs snow leopard on my early 2011 MB pro with what I have (new SSD, New RAM, Current version Lion running, no external drive, lack of original snow leopard disks [I lost them ] and the general 10.6.3 snow leopard boot disks)...
As the last post suggests, call Apple and order a replacement original disc for about $17. They will ask you the model and serial numbers.
Your retail version of Snow Leopard OS 10.6.3 will not work on that Mac as it requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.7 to boot and operate.
Another alternative is to again borrow another Mac to install your retail Snow Leopard into an external HD or partition, upgrade it to 10.6.8 and then clone it back to a partition on your MBP.

IPod does not play music from the beginning

Hi there!
The music is properly good on the hard disk of the PC.
The music is imported into iTunes, where it played well from the beginning.
On the iPod, the music is also available.
When playing the music now as follows:
The title starts 6-10 seconds from the start, just after this time the song is played from the beginning, for about 6-10 seconds, then the title is a play on. Then from 12-20 sec from the beginning.
I hope the wording is somewhat understandable.
Thx for help!
PS: "Remember Position" is not enabled; Start time on each track is 0:00

Good evening everyone!
The problem is solved.
It was because of the ZoneAlarm firewall software!
Somehow, the music is cut up by plan no why ...
Firewall uninstalled, delete music from iTunes and the iPod, newly imported gesyncht = works
Thank you very much for your attention!

Audio won't play after replacing the video clip with after effects composition?

I am using CS5. Still new to this stuff so let me know if you need extra info. None of the faq guides have been helpful.

The audio is still in the project, but won't play in the canvas... this was solved by Richardttt... see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1491870&tstart=0
I tried this and it works but still don't know why it happened: Under Object Menu, select Unsolo>Video Only.

The audio does not play back from the speakers of my laptop, it plays only through headphones ?

Hi, I am not able to hear playback of audio from the speakers on my laptop. Only if I connect a headphone I am able to hear. Kindly help resolve.

Hi
1) Try a Hard Reset as follows.
Remove any devices connected to the notebook. Shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook - check if the speakers are now working.
2) Please First check if the speaker icon on the unit is not muted.
3) Go to device manager and uninstall the Sound driver and restart and unit will install the driver automatically.
4) Try doing System restore to the date when the unit was working fine.
5) Try to update the driver from hp.com website for Audio & Bios.
Let us know how it goes!

How to play an audio file from the begin.........

Hello to everybody,
I am working on a application that is supposed to manage audio file. At the moment I 'm using the SourceDataLine instead of the Clip. But I've got a problem. When the user pushes the Stop button I want that if he pushes Play again the track starts from the begin. I've used the drain() and flush() method but it doesn't work because the track resumes from the point when has been interrupted. Here part of the code:
@Override
public void run()
try
if(dataline!=null)
dataline.open(audio_format);
dataline.start();
int i=0;
while((i=audio_input_stream.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length))!=-1 && flag==false)
if(i>0)
dataline.write(buffer, 0, i);
dataline.drain();
dataline.stop();
dataline.flush();
dataline=null;
dataline.close();
And also I'd like to know how to navigate through the audio file by a slider or something like that, so how much time is passed.
Thank you in advance.

I've tried to use it but I found out that if I use quite large wav files an exception is thrown, Aha! I expected as much. That is why I developed BigClip.
..so I thought to change to SourceDataLine even if Clip has the right stuff to manage my audio files. So what do you suggest? Is there a way to avoid such problem? I mean, how can I be sure that I'm able to use every wav files? Not every WAV file can be opened using SourceDataLine, but if SDL can open it, so can BigClip.

Audio will only play when started from the beginning of the sequence

I am running CS5 Premiere Pro on a Mac, the audio plays fine in one of my sequences but only from the beginning of the sequence and on. If you stop it, or move the play head to any spot on the sequence, then the audio becomes very off and sometimes doesn't even play any sound. Has anyone else had this issue before?

I tried that, but it doesn't appear that I have a com.apple.audio.AggregateDevices.plist file in my preferences folder. I don't even have a com.apple.audio file of any type.

Make sure your easy setup has the correct frame rate for your sequence. Seems crazy but somehow or other fcp assigns a frame rate to audio files. I've found this can sometimes be tricky to get right. Here's what I've done to force the issue. Make sure the easy setup frame rate reflects that of the target sequence in fcp. Create a new project. import the audio in the new project. And then copy the clip from the new project to your main project.
Good luck

AudioInputStream won't start from the beginning

I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but here's a weird the situation. I have a number of audio files that I play together. Nothing complicated.
    public void playAudio() {
        try{
            File soundFile_1 = new File("SoundFile1.wav");
            File soundFile_2 = new File("SoundFile2.wav");
            File soundFile_3 = new File("SoundFile3.wav");
            audioInputStream_1 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_1);
            audioInputStream_2 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_2);
            audioInputStream_3 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_3);
            audioFormat_1 = audioInputStream_1.getFormat();
            audioFormat_2 = audioInputStream_2.getFormat();
            audioFormat_3 = audioInputStream_3.getFormat();
            DataLine.Info dataLineInfo_1 = new DataLine.Info(SourceDataLine.class,audioFormat_1);
            DataLine.Info dataLineInfo_2 = new DataLine.Info(SourceDataLine.class,audioFormat_2);
            DataLine.Info dataLineInfo_3 = new DataLine.Info(SourceDataLine.class,audioFormat_3);
            sourceDataLine_1 = (SourceDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(dataLineInfo_1);
            sourceDataLine_2 = (SourceDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(dataLineInfo_2);
            sourceDataLine_3 = (SourceDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(dataLineInfo_3);
            new PlayThread().start();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            System.exit(0);
    class PlayThread extends Thread{
        byte tempBuffer_1[] = new byte[100000];

                sourceDataLine_1.start();

                sourceDataLine_1.close();
                sourceDataLine_2.close();
                sourceDataLine_3.close();
                stopPlayback = false;
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                System.exit(0);
    }I also have a method that combines the three audio files into one. I usually call this method after having played the files for a short time.
    public void saveAudio() {
        saveList.add(audioInputStream_1);
        saveList.add(audioInputStream_2);
        saveList.add(audioInputStream_3);
        saveMixAIS = new MixingFloatAudioInputStream(audioFormat_1, saveList);
        File saveFile = new File("SaveMix.wav");
        try {
            AudioSystem.write(saveMixAIS, AudioFileFormat.Type.WAVE, saveFile);
     } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
} Interesting enough, this code doesn't seem to combine the three audio files properly. What seems to happen is that the combined file starts at the location where I stopped playing. In order to get the files to start from the very beginning, I need to re-initialize the AudioInputStream.
    public void saveAudio() {
        try{
            File soundFile_1 = new File("SoundFile1.wav");
            File soundFile_2 = new File("SoundFile2.wav");
            File soundFile_3 = new File("SoundFile3.wav");
            audioInputStream_1 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_1);
            audioInputStream_2 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_2);
            audioInputStream_3 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_3);
        } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                System.exit(0);
        saveList.add(audioInputStream_1);
        saveList.add(audioInputStream_2);
        saveList.add(audioInputStream_3);
        saveMixAIS = new MixingFloatAudioInputStream(audioFormat_1, saveList);
        File saveFile = new File("SaveMix.wav");
        try {
            AudioSystem.write(saveMixAIS, AudioFileFormat.Type.WAVE, saveFile);
     } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
} Is this normal?

That definitely makes sense.
I was under the impression that the AudioInputStream never loses the data it has read and that the AudioSystem.write method always starts from the beginning of this AudioInputStream. I need to stop treating the AudioInputStream like an array and instead treat it more like fresh water.Definately.
AudioInputStream doesn't actually have anything in it...it's actually just a wrapper. Whenever you call read on it, it just reads whatever it's wrapping around, and returns the result. This is why it can contain both live data being recorded or file data or a network stream or...
In this case, it is reading from a BinaryFile. Everytime you call read, it increments the file position... and it doesn't reset the file position when you call AudioSystem.write...

IPod shuffle 4th Gen. How to start playing podcast from the very beginning once again?

Hello to everybody in this forum,
I bought a new iPod shuffle 4th Gen music player for about two weeks ago. I love this device, it works great as well as it's sound quality amazes me after Windows Mobile 6.0 Phone, Transcend MP3 and even Samsung Galaxy Ace devices use experience. It's much better and it made me got used to podcasts feature I never tried before, But if I want to replay the very same podcast item from the very beginning - I simply don't know how to rewind it back. If I press next/prev buttons it doesn't help. The podcast itself starts to play at about 5 minutes before a podcast's end as if I were listened to the whole podcast continuously from the beginning of a podcast. A podcast appears to be divided into chapters and I don't understand how to switch chaprers. Even if I did, the amount of chapters is big and it's inconvenient to swith every chapter with prev button pressed. Shuffle's manual tells me nothing on how to get things work I want it to. Any help is appreciated.
Best regards, Alexander Chernyaev.

It could be that the CD player will only playback "Redbook" CD's from the previous position.
And starts mp3 type CD's from the beginnig.

DVD doesn't play from the beginning when inserted a second time into a dvd player

DVD burnt in DVD studio pro, when ejected and inserted again into dvd player, the dvd plays from where it stopped the last tome it was ejected. It doesn't rewind and play from the beginning.
Is the problem in the burning settings in DVD studio pro? any help is really appreciated!

My DVD Player setting was Last option played, I changed it now to "beginning". It now starts from the beginning when I insert it again, thanks.
Another issue is that my First play in the DVD is a Track, then comes a Menu. When I leave to the Menu while the Track didnt finish, and then click the dvdmenu on my remote control, the Track resumes from where I exited to the menu last.
Is that something i can control ? To make that intro track start from the beginning?
Thank you, I appreciate the help!
