Can I chop up sound in Flash?

Hi. I am making an animated music video, so I have one song playing throughout my piece. First thing I did was the animatic/storyboard---the whole video sketched out with the song. Now I am chopping it into scenes for character animation. I selected all the keyframes---including those in the song track---and pasted them into new, separate Flash projects.
Problem is, the song plays from the beginning in every scene (and in fact I can't get it to stop). I think I understand why this happens -- it's using what I have in the library, and it's the whole song that is in the library. So, do I have to conclude the worst case scenario: that I have to chop up the song outside Flash (which would be error-prone, in terms of precision of timing)? Or is there another way to do this in Flash?
Thanks so much!!!

as3 = actionscript 3.0, etc
and you should use actionscript to control your sound. check the sound class in the help files.
you could also create a movieclip and attach your sound to frame 1 of the movieclip and assign its sync to stream. you could then use gotoAndPlay() applied to your sound movieclip to play the sound from and to various points but this would be a clumsy way to handle sound.

How can I get my sound from Flash CC into After Effects?

I have been using Flash to animate for years. I have upgraded from Flash 8 to Flash CC. I had been animating and then exporting the video part, (swf.), and sound (wav) separately, and then bringing them into After Effects already as synced files.
That option is no longer available in Flash CC. What can I do? (I am really considering Toon Boom after this project).

Haven't tried this, but you should be able to export a video file containing only the sound track from within Flash. Just turn off all the other layers. Also, although you are probably aware of this, Adobe claims that Flash CC now exports video without the bugs that plagued earlier versions. Then you should move to Toon Boom, it has its own headaches, but at least it's a real animation program.

Just upgraded to 10.6.8. Had to upgrade Adobe flash player. Now can't get any sound from websites!

Just upgraded to 10.6.8. Had to upgrade Adobe flash player. Now can't get any sound from websites. Advice please!

Check System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced
Click: Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Then empty the Safari cache.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop > Empty Caches
Quit and relaunch Safari then try Flash on a website for sound.

VLC plugs directly into pulseaudio, while the firefox flash plugin uses ALSA to play sound. Do you have the pulseaudio-alsa package installed?
I have had a similar problem before. Sound would occasionally be controlled by ALSA and occasionally be controlled by pulse (the pulseaudio-alsa package did nothing). As far as symptoms, sometimes other applications would not produce sound while a flash video was playing and vice versa. Ultimately, I just removed everything pulse/ALSA-related, deleted (and backed up) my configuration files, and installed all related packages anew. It works now. I still don't really know what the problem was.

I can't make the sound to work on flash content

Hello,
When I try to listen to a song on deezer, the flash player
loads, song starts to play, but I can't hear any sound.
When I'm listening to music using winamp or other desktop
application, the sound works fine.
I only cannot hear it when playing in flash widgets in
Mozilla.
Do you know how can I fix this?
Thanks!

I had similar problems at first. Look for the answer in the
Ubuntu Forums (I don't remember exactly where, sorry). :)

Can I embed java app in flash (mp3 recorder)

I need to provide an mp3 recorder from the user's sound card functionality to a flash application. It will be strictly a web app hosted on a server, not an install. User's may or may not have admin priviledges.
I am mostly a vb guy so I was wondering if this could be accomplished with Java, if so how many MS security windows will the user need to wade through?

It sounds like an applet is what you want, but I have no idea if an applet can be embedded or communicate with flash. Try googling "embed applet in flash" or something to that effect.
How much of this sound card functionality do you need to use in java? Java has a separation between the software and the hardware, so unless you have a library already, it will be hard to access native functionality.

No sound in Flash applications like Youtube and Zynga-Frontierville. (Win7, ff 5.1, AdobeFlash 10.3.181.34)

I get no sound in Flash applications like Youtube and Zynga-Frontierville. Video is fine.

I'm not sure how related is this with the thing that happened to me but here it goes.
A while ago I couldn't have two applications that can use the audio channels at the same time. For instance, if I had a paused movie with VLC I could play a video on YouTube but with no sound. Is that your case? Or it doesn't work at all?

Crackling/substandard sound in flash videos (YouTube etc) regardless of video quality setting.

Hi all,
I hope you can help! Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, I'm struggling to find the best place to put this.
1. a summary of your issue
Crackling/substandard sound in flash videos (YouTube etc) regardless of video quality setting.
2. the type of computer you use—Mac or PC?
Desktop PC.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, all updates installed.
3. steps you've already taken to troubleshoot
The problem occurs after installing Adobe Flash Player 15 Plugin to any browser (I mainly use FireFox). It's listed as Adobe Flash Player 15 ActiveX when I installed it for Internet Explorer.
Before installing it, I can hear the videos fine but I am limited to a maximum of 720p quality on YouTube.
I removed my sound and graphics drivers, after restart Windows 7 decides it will install them again but as the generic/universal ones. No change.
I've heard that because I have the Windows Aero theme activated, I need to disable hardware acceleration - tried this in various ways:
a) Generic PnP monitor Troubleshoot tab - Change Settings button is greyed out (whether or not I have the real/generic/universal graphics drivers installed). Can't find a way through nVidia control panel to do this either.
b) Disabled hardware acceleration in FireFox - no change.
c) Found on your forum here that I can go to a page which will check my Flash version, in theory I could right-click it, hit Settings and disable hardware acceleration there - no "Settings" option in right-click menu. Seems the page has changed.
I can't seem to find a way to interface with Flash directly to disable hardware accelerattion - if this is indeed the solution.
Regardless of Windows Aero theme, I've got it on basic theme now and still the same problem.
I recently reformatted and re-installed my PC, it was working fine before I did this (maybe I had an old Flash release installed?).
I'm at my wit's end... please help!

Sorry, it's all sorted now. After re-installing the sound drivers, decided to tinker with the settings one by one. I had my Creative sound card in Game Mode, thus it was assuming 2.1 speakers aka headphones. Put it in Entertainment Mode and it recognised all the 5.1 speakers for flash videos. Doh!

Almost no sound in flash

Hi
I've spend the last couple of days, almost nonstop searching the web for a solution for this. Tryed possible solution i found, but no luck so far.
I got perfect sound in any application, game, media player etc. But neither in internet explorer nor firefox when viewing online videos (youtube, xfire etc) do i get much sound.
At first i thought there was no sound at all, but when i crank up the speaker system to max i can hear a little (but if i do anything else with sound i get blasted away).
I've tryed registy fixes, checking if files where there, installing K-lite codec pack to fix regestry issues, uninstalled flash lots of times, rebooted before reinstalling, clearing temp internet files folder etc. Nothing helps.
I got the feeling that some stupid website somehow has changed a setting somewhere for flash, making sound almost unhearable, but i dunno how i can fix this.
As said, i searched and tryed all, but im lost now.
win xp pro (auto updating)
firefox (auto updating)
ie (guess its uptodate from windows updates, only use it if something doesnt work in FF)
onboard realtek hd sound card.
but as said, everywhere else its fine, just not playing sound in flash based videos.
noticed this first like 3-4 weeks ago, but figuered the videos i tryed to watch where broken or had no sound. Now i know its just my flash that has no volume set somehow.
oh, ofcourse i checked everysingle soundcard volume controler and mute box already.
any help will be appriciated.
- Bohs

since noone here cares, i've been trying everything in my powers to get this solved, and i might be a step closer, yet very far away, as i can not fix whats wrong.
What seems to be wrong is the DirectSound, atleast when i enter dxdiag and test sound there, its extremly silent too, i tryed changing all acceleration features to see if that helps, both in dxdiag and my sound options, that only makes everything worse.
however my DirectMusic works fine in normal volume.
But since microsoft is so ****** up on "there stuff", i can not even uninstall and reinstall directx .. i found two fixes on the net that should do this and thereby reinstall whatever is default with XP, but they just totally fock up your system, and you cant do anything without system restore. You can not even choose it from the XP installation cd ...
i got the latest (9.0c 4.09.0000.0904) version, so i can not update it with a newer ... how do i fix this? its just weird to me that no other application nor game is affected by this - only flash - they all use directx (well Prototype is a little affected, but that seems to be a game problem according to there forums http://forums.activision.com/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=1788 ).
and please dont tell me to update my audio drivers, cause there aint any newer aviable, and i have tryed reinstalling them several times.

No sound in flash. Sound working otherwise.

Hey all, suilenroc here. With the recent advent of some high-quality Creative Drivers for my X-Fi card, I've been able to enjoy some great audio from my Exaile media player. However, sound from flash in firefox is still not forthcoming. Does anyone know how to fix this? And does anyone know how to install flash-10? For some reason, I just can't figure out how to uninstall flash 9 and install the latest version.
Thanks! -suilenroc

Okay, let's switch this up. Suilenroc's brother here. For the sake of convenience, just call me Suilenroc.
So I've been using Linux for about a year now, I used to use Gentoo and moved to Arch. My bro got a creative X-Fi card a while back when we was on windows, and now switched full time to Linux because of the new sound drivers. What I just can't figure out though, if how to get the sound working on his firefox installation. I don't know whether it's a firefox issue or a flash issue, specifically.
I've install the x-fi drivers, and am using ALSA for them, obviously. My brother doesn't know which VERSION of Arch he's using, x86 or x86_64, but it is, most definitely, arch.
Now, I don't, myself, remember the pacman command for installing flash 10 either, and I can't seem to find it via google. From what my brother told me, he installed nspluginwrapper and nspluginwrapper-flash, and linked it to his firefox by following a tutorial. This got flash VIDEO to work, but the audio is not being output through the x-fi card or the x-fi drivers.
Sorry for the earlier posts, I'll be taking over on this issue from here. (I've told the little guy to not get me involved unless he absolutely cannot figure the problem out himself. Well, now's one of those times. Thanks for bearing with him earlier, you can deal with me now. I know a bit more than he does when it comes to Linux.)

No Sound In Flash Applications

Hello.
So, about 3 month ago or later, adobe had announced the new version of ADOBE FLASH PLAYER, i think it was 10.1. When i updated my flash player to version 10.1, my sound in my browser (im using MOZILLA FIREFOX) had gone. I cant hear any sound in youtube, i cant hear any sound in flash games, but video goes normal. I have searching reason for a long time. I have found many sollutions, and i have tryed all of them on my pc. Im a power user in computer, im not a begginer, but i cant solve this problem. Now i got Windows XP, SP3, and installed adobe flash player of version 10.1.82.76. Maybe some one can help me???

Hi eidnolb,
You are certainly right about resolving audio issues.
Actually you pointed me in the right direction when you told NoviceGG to go to administrative tools. While in the control panel I decided to check out QT first. I am not a big fan of QT and rarely use it but others in my house like to use iTunes for their iPods and QT comes bundled in the download. At any rate, iTunes was updated and along with it came an update for QT. I think someone downloaded an .flv file and when they played it with QT it set the streaming video default to QT. At least that is what I believe happened, although I am not 100% certain. I don't think QT was automatically set as the default streaming video player when it was downloaded but that is a possibility also.
I had no audio for any streaming video in any browser, FF, Chrome, and IE. Video was fine in all three.
Somehow QT gets it's own Control Panel category. Which is actually only QT preferences. Seven tabs across the top: Register; Audio; Browser; Update; Streaming; File Types; Advanced.
The first tab I clicked was the Audio tab. But that is more of a device manager and you can select bit rate, channels, and size (8 bit, 16 bit, or 24 bit). I realized that wasn't it then went to the Streaming tab and that deals with connection speeds, delays, and an instant-on option. Not it either. So I hit the File types tab and it reads; 'Select the file types for which you want QuickTime player to be the
default player.' Top box; Streaming-Streaming movies was checked. These are expandable boxes (with the + to show more specific file types). Seven expandable boxes to check or uncheck:
Streaming-Streaming movies;
Video-Video only and video with audio file formats;
Audio-Audio only file formats;
MPEG-MPEG system, video and audiofiles;
MP3-MPEG Layer III movies and streams;
Images-Simage files
Miscellaneous-Miscellaneous file formats
I unchecked the top box the tested it and that was it. I thank you very much for pointing to the control panel. You are a very helpful member of the forum.
I actually just now joined so I could share my discovery with NoviceGG.
I hope this helps you out with your knowledge base a little eidnolb.
Thanks again!

No sound in Flash after resuming from suspend

After I resume from a suspend or sleep there is no sound in Flash and there is no networking.
The only way is to restart my browser to reestablish the sound.
Is there a solution for this problem?
Thanks.

This does not happen with Firefox in Ubuntu, as an example. So something must be wrong somewhere.
I can confirm this happens to me in Arch with Firefox 4.0b7 and Chromium 7.0.517.44. I noticed that after resuming from suspend, not only sound (in Flash) is missing, but Flash is behaving weirdly (YouTube video plays much faster) and CPU usage goes crazy without doing any particular action.

I can't import certain sound files.

For some reason with flash cs6 I can't import specific sound files. There is nothing different from them and other files that do work. It says "couldn't import (file)" and "one or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them" Please help, my deadline is in a few days!

What is the file format of these problematic sounds? It may be that these sound files are set to an unusual sampling or data rate. If the files are in mp3 format, try changing the bit rate mode to constant, if it is not that already. Also look at the data rate of the file. Make sure that it is a "normal" rate like 44100, 32000, or 22050 Hz.

[solved] Sound in flash stopped working (alsa, x86_64, rate)

Why?
Sound in flash stopped working (alsa, firefox, x86_64). Tried flashplugin-prerelease from archlinuxfr: nothing different.
Everything worked before I rebooted. I changed nothing else since last reboot. Can't figure out what happened.
Updates among other things:
firefox, xulrunner (firefox I did restart - the new one had sound in flash before I rebooted)
openal, lib32openal (don't think that has anything to do with it?)
libsndfile (that's something entirely different, too, right?)
And a lot of others that don't look related... no Idea how many really, I haven't rebooted in quite a while. Maybe there even was a kernel update since last reboot. Or two.
edit: Also some interactive flash stuff that did work before has stopped working now.
edit2: Chromium doesn't have sound in flash either. Tried recompiling firefox / switching to AUR/firefox-pgo: no change. Everywhere else, sound is working fine. Also, several flash games I tried get stuck / freeze after intro.
Thx!

I tried the multilib version and the x86_64 prerelease. Both did work perfectly fine before I rebooted (I tried which one works better recently and couldn't see any real difference). Didn't have trouble with flash for months before this reboot.
I found a few modules I was unfamilliar with were loaded:
snd_seq_os snd_seq_dummy snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq snd_seq_device
... and removed them with rmmod. No change. (I should have restarted alsa at that point I guess just to make sure, those weren't the problem?)
Then I changed the rate in asound.conf to 41000 and restarted alsa - now everything works again! Strangely, no more freezes too (those were reliable).
I remember having had problems with flash not having sound unless I set the rate to 41000 about a year ago. After some updates, I tried again and all rates supported by my sound-card seemed to work. My guess would be regression in whatever fixed that problem... but I don't know.
I'll leave that "unsolved" until I manage to figure out what it really was about.

[SOLVED]No more sound in flash, but kmix shows a stream

Hello all,
I'm fairly new (and happy that I switched) to Arch . When I installed Arch on my x86_64 based laptop everything worked fine. Somewhere along the line I lost sound in flash. I use KDE with the defaults for sound: Phonon, Pulse, and ALSA. For my phonon backend I'm using VLC, but have also tried gstreamer. I first realized the issue in late November and have since been wrestling with it in my spare time to no avail. I have tried everything in the forums and wikis that I could find (even if it seemed like it didn't apply). The one difference that I'm experiencing that no one else has posted is that I have a stream show up in kmix when a video is playing, but still have no sound. It's not muted, and I can move the volume slider with no change. I have no idea when exactly it broke, or what update may have caused it. Has anyone had this issue and solved it without posting? Can anyone offer some troubleshooting advice? I was previously a Gentoo user of 6+ years and wonder if there are any Arch tools similar to equery (depends and depgraph flags) that can help me find all the packages installed that are related to flash? Also, is there anything in Arch that is similar to the Gentoo emerge log? I would like to clean out everything flash and pulse related and start from scratch, but don't know the best way, or even a clean way, to approach this.
Thank you in advance for any help offered.
Regards,
Joseph

@alexkarro Thanks for your quick reply and for the links. Unfortunately, I followed the advice from both links. I have both lib32-alsa-plugins and lib32-libcanberra-pulse installed. From what I understand about the first link, my default device is the correct device. But just in case I'm wrong I pasted the output from aplay and my asound.conf below. Am I misinterpreting the output to aplay, or configuring my asound.conf wrong? Originally, when it worked, I got all the config instructions from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio.
Thanks again.
