D11.5 Projector gets stuck on encountering first sound file

My projector runs fine on my PC (where I have D11.5) but when pack up all the files and try to play it from a new machine, the projector plays the opening screen and as soon as it has to make the first sound, it freezes. It seems as if it can not find the sound. I tried putting the sound file right next to the projector and even that does not work.
My usual method is to call the sound  files with the path such as
sound playfile 1, the moviepath & "sounds\"  & "playThisSound.aif"
This works just fine on my machine. The projector does not hang up.
Any ideas?

You are using ancient and deprecated Lingo to play sounds. Try importing them into a castLib and use sound(channel).play() or a new mixer object (consult the docs)

    Thank you for the replies,
    unfortunately it's not the router. I usually switch on/off the router if I'm not at home. Therefore  I have ruled out from the very beginning the router. And I'd rule out an upgrade of  arch's packages as well.  I installed->upgraded all packages  after a fresh installation of arch,  and then I started the configuration...
    ewaller, nice "How to"
    Cheers

  • How do I get a handle on embedded sound files?

    From the Sound Class information, it says to use the SoundMixer Class to handle embedded Sound Files.  I have two sound files embedded, that I have setup in 2 separate layers, starting at frame one in the main timeline.  I needed to do this so I could see the wave files, and coordinate text with the waves.  I do not want to load these files into the .swf file at runtime using URLRequest.  How do I get a handle on those as they exist, to make each controllable by separate volume and mute controls for each sound?
    This will be a challenging question, because, "it can't be done" doesn't work for me.  I managed to create a way to use an external classfile to control the main timeline, the ROOT timeline, without having to create a sub movie to root.  I can use my component to call play(); as though it were in code in a frame.  But it isn't, it's in an external classfile.  I passed root to the classfile and told the classfile to think of it as a movieclip - that put the handle on it.  I tried similar way with root as a Sound, but that isn't detailed enough - I need to get a handle on the frame that contains the embedded sound file.  I embedded, attached it, using the properties view for the frame.
    I've attached, or whatever you want to call it, these sound files to a frame, and this frame is or should be attached to the layer I've created.  So, under the assumption that the ROOT has everything attached to it in some manner (it is after all the foundation for the COM), the stage of the root contains the visual components, so ROOT has to have the layer objects attached to it, which should have the frame objects attached to the layers.  I have two layers that each have a .wav file attached to frame one.  Somehow Flash keeps track of that - I want to know how Flash does it so I can read what flash reads.
    If this seems redundant, it probably is.  I want to paint the best picture I know how so I can get detailed feedback.  Please, if you have questions ask them so we can clarify, and get this resolved!  Thanks for reading!

    lol.
    ok, it can be done.  keep working on it.

  • After effects gets stuck at 98% loading a file..... Needed to force quit over a dozen times

    I've been working color grading about a minute of footage in AE, and imported that comp into Premiere Pro.
    The color grading file was dealing with lots of different pieces of footage that make up the sequece. I need to open the AE file in order to render it, but it gets stuck at 98% loaded and freezes up. I've needed to force quit at least a dozen times. Is there a fix to this? Do I need to rebuild the file?
    I work on a macbook pro with 16GB of ram and an i7 3.6Ghz processor so I should have no problem with these files. In fact, I also do work with an animation studio, and we work with large 5k image sequences plus digital faces plus other elemets, and their files are much larger.
    Please help quickly! I'm on a deadline and can't proceed until this is fixed.
    Thanks,
    Bear
    Oh, and if it helps at all, I'm using the CS6 version.

    Does the AE project file open?  Render out the clips, then quit AE.  Import the clips into Premiere.  Deadline met.
    I'm on an HP Workstation with 24GB RAM and I wouldn't even think about trying to import an AE project file into PP for critical work.

  • Getting stuck in the first place (ACE)

    Hi ,
    I have a quick question :
    we have an ACE loadbalancer that is using a least load predictor based on CPU values of 2 rservers :
    We only ever have 4 source addresses that connect inbound to the VIP. 
    We are seeing that the sticky database keeps sticking 3 entries to one of the servers and 1 on the other,  so the Load balancer is struggling to keep the load even..  (after they are stuck)
    My question is    whats is the decision based on to stick the initial connections coming inbound ???     I assume that it uses the least loaded predictor ??

    hi sivaksiv, 
    Thanks for the reply...   
    I wonder if you can help on the following output....   I see that there are actually 5 sticky sessions (but only 4 possible IP source addresses)   the ACE from time to time ages one of these out  but only to box  v04  ????

  • I have an Apple ipod that gets stuck on the first track of every album, can you help please?

    I have an Apple Ipod model MC 688. My problem is that every track played 'sticks' , if I forward it sticks on the next track, just plays the same one over and over.
    Very frustrating, can you help please?

    Do you mean the same song repeats? If so, turn off the repeat (1) song feature.

  • Running PC to MAC migration assistant.  See each other.  PC gets stuck at  searching for user files.

    How long does the program inspect the computer (pc)? PC showed it was searching for pictures, then moved on to documents...and 8 hours later is still searching for documents. The mac and pc have stayed awake as far as i can tell and there is nothing running on the PC. When does it finish? I have about 30GB to transfer. I just got a 27" iMac.
    On the PC, there is no HD activity but the process is using up 50% of the CPU... 
    I ran this during the initial setup of the MAC. 
    Any ideas ?

    It will vary based on how much data is being transferred however 8 hours sounds too long for only 30GB. I'm assuming you are using an Ethernet cable though.
    My suggestion is to contact AppleCare, you  have 90 days of free phone support so that is where I'd go first. The number is in your manual or you can bookmark AppleCare Contact Info

  • Export and Edit in PS gets stuck on one image

    Each time I start Lightroom I can export an image to a file from either the library or develop modules fine but if I then select a second image and export it to the same folder it exports the first image again after giving me the error message that the file already exists. I have now found that this exact problem is happening when I use the Edit in Photoshop tool. It gets stuck on the first image even though I have selected a different one.
    This problem has only just occurred and I cannot understand why. Has anyone an idea of what may be wrong?

    My guess, also: That selection is actually of two photos, not just the one you highlighted. LR uses the concept of Selected and More Selected, and I haven't figured out all the permutations.

  • P67A-GD65 gets sometimes gets stuck on boot status code 98 until i turn of main

    Hi,
    I have a issue which seems to be more recurring over time - it simply gets stuck on the first status code screen, it continues to do it until I power down system by mains for 10 secs.
    To start with I'd say only once a month but now about once a week.
    The usual boot status codes read "98 B4 98 94"  and when the problem occurs it just gets stuck on the first 1.

     I don't really know as I have the as shipped BIOS 1.9 on mine and only problem I have is my mouse doesn't work in BIOS and since mice never worked in BIOS before these new MB's it's nothing I'm concerned about. It seems every new BIOS fixes one thing and then another problem crops up for other people so I'm sticking with the no mouse and no other problems BIOS 1.9. The only BIOS's I understand that have had the fewest problems for most people have been 1.9 & 1.C. Mines goes through POST so fast I can't even read anything as it flashes by everything in just a few seconds and goes to loading Windows.
     Unplugging the USB devices was just a suggestion for test purposes not a work around for the problem.

  • Retrieve duration of sound files via Apple Script - System Events

    I need to get more details of my sound files into a FileMaker 10 Database as it is possible by using the FileMaker import function. There ist a complicated way by going first through iTunes and than to FileMaker. Now I found out, that part of the information displayed when pushing cmd+i can be retrieved with this:
    tell application "System Events"
    properties of file "/Volumes/MacHD/singsong.mp3"
    end tell.
    But duration, channels, bitrate are not accessible. Is this a general problem with metadata? May be if I got a hint how to retrieve meta-data from .jpg files I might be able to apply this also on .mp3

    Try the AppleScript forum under OS X Technologies.

  • Extracting portions of the timeline from iMovie to create a 'Sound File'

    Hello
    I recently used my Cannon GL2 as a field recorder to record 16 bit audio sound effects.
    I'd like to extract certain portions of the timeline to create various 'Sound Files' which will be used later (as sound effects), in either iMovie, or FCE HD.
    In iMovie HD, the only method I'm familiar with to extract a portion of the timeline to a 'Sound File', is to FIRST export that portion to a Quicktime File. Then I use 'Sound Studio 2.2.4' to import the Quicktime File. In Sound Studio, I can then create either an AIFF File, or Wav File.
    From there, I open iTunes, and import the Wav File. Now I convert that Wav File to an MP3 (if I need to compress the size of the file).
    I know I can import Raw DV Video Files (Captures), into Garage Band, but then I can't export that edited project into a Sound File.
    But I do know I can use Garage Band to edit (EQ), a portion of the timeline, then Export that portion (as I explained above). But I'm still going through some extra steps .....
    With all I'm mentioned, perhaps I need to get another software program in order to eliminate a step on my way to exporting a portion of a Video timeline from either iMovie, or FCE, and get straight to creating a sound file suitable for later import back into FCE, or iMovie?
    Thanx for your comments
    Mike

    Hey Piero
    Comestah?
    I'm an Italiano too My Granparents are from Bari
    Well yes thank you - that certainly answered part of my question
    Now I wonder if I can extract just a 'PORTION' of the timeline? I tried to insert division points without actually cutting out all the unwanted stuff, and highlighted just that portion, but the Audio Extract process reverts back to extracting the ENITIRE timeline. So I guess I'd have to actually cut and delete all the unwanted parts, then 'save as' to that NEW iMovie project reflecting just that edit in order to extract JUST that audio piece?
    I wonder if the process is more precise in FCE?
    Gracias
    Mike

  • Problem with playing a sound file.

    Hi,
    I simply want to play a sound by a button click. I imported
    <AVFoundation/AVAudioPlayer.h>. The code block is here:
    In .h file:
    #import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
    #import <AVFoundation/AVAudioPlayer.h>
    @interface PlaySoundViewController : UIViewController <AVAudioPlayerDelegate>
    in .m file:
    -(IBAction)btnPlay:(id)sender
        //Get the filename of the sound file:
        NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"REC001" ofType:@"MP3"];
        AVAudioPlayer* thePlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path] error:NULL];//error here as it will compile if I commented it (and two line after) out.
        thePlayer.delegate = self;
        [thePlayer play];   
    Everything looks fine but it failed when I tried to run it. Looks like it cannot find my sound file "REC001.MP3". I put it in folder ".../PlaySound/Resource Files/SoundFiles/REC001.MP3", and "PlaySound" is my project name. However the path returned is ".../PlaySound/REC001.MP3". I guess this is why it cannot find the object. But it didn't work even I put the sound file under "PlaySound" directly. Anyone has a solution?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Taizhi

    Hi Mark,
    Thanks for the reply. Based on your instruction, I checked and I can see the sound files in Build Phases. The location is ".../PlaySound/SoundFiles/REC001.MP3". I don't know why it ignores folder "Resource Files". I guess that is the way it is as I also can see other images in different folders which are shown properly in the project.
