Dreamweaver timeline playing once only on event

Hi--
I'm using the Dreamweaver timeline to slide a DIV back and
forth off the screen as a navigational device. What I want to do is
create an open and close animation that can be done multiple times.
The problem I've discovered is the MM_timelinePlay('open')
command only works once-- so after it's executed, it won't play
again. I have to use MM_timelineGoto('open','1') in order to make
it play afterwards (but this will only work after the timeline has
been played once using MM_timelinePlay('open') ).
I've created a hack workaround which executes both and works
every time but it involves calling two javascript methods:
onclick="MM_timelinePlay('open');MM_timelineGoto('open','1')"
I'd rather use the proper solution if there is one. Anyone
know how to get the timeline to play multiple times via a click
event by only using one javascript command?
Thanks!

I think I created that site in 1999, or maybe early 2000.
That's about the
last time I touched it....

Audio only plays once

I am trying to convert some VCD clips to dv files in order to edit them in FCP and burn to a DVD. This is the sequence of conversions etc. that I perform:
Step 1. Use VCDGearX to convert the (VCD)DAT to mpg. The resultant file plays fine in QuickTime.
Step 2. Use ffmpegX to convert the mpg file to DV, using all the default settings. Resultant file plays fine with QuickTime.
Step 3. Import DV file into Final Cut Pro 4. DV file imports OK and audio plays once only. Thereafter I cannot hear the audio, and no audio waveform can be seen, even after rendering.
If I quit FCP and reopen, the audio will play only once again.
Can anyone tell me what is happening, how I can get the audio and the waveform to appear as it should.

Play one song once only and then stop?

Hi,
Is there a way to get a song to play once only on an iPod without having to make a playlist for it? I have several hundred bird songs on my iPod and would like to find a way to play one individually without having to make a separate playlist for each.
Thanks!
Brian

Hey again,
Well another solution is to make a playlist for the song. Name it whatever you wish and just add that one song to it. Then sync it to your iPod. Or if the song is on your iPod already, you can make an On the Go playlist. If you do not know how to create an OTG playlist, see the linke below. Maybe this could be a solution?

How come this sound only plays once?

Here is a program that illustrates what I am doing:
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.sound.sampled.*;
public class soundApp extends JFrame
    JButton button;
    Clip clip;
    public soundApp()
        setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        setSize(300,300);
        File file = new File("tada.wav");
        try
            AudioInputStream audiosource = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(file);
            DataLine.Info info =
                new DataLine.Info(Clip.class, audiosource.getFormat());
            clip = (Clip)AudioSystem.getLine(info);
            clip.open(audiosource);
        catch(UnsupportedAudioFileException e){}
        catch(LineUnavailableException e){}
        catch(IOException e){}
        button = new JButton("Play sound");
        button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
            if(e.getActionCommand().equals("Play sound"))
                clip.start();   //HERE IS WHERE I START IT....sorry for caps.
        Container contentpane = getContentPane();
        contentpane.add(button);
        setVisible(true);
public static void main(String[] args)
      soundApp soundapp = new soundApp();
}How come the clip only plays once?

well the answer is simple, because once the clip will stop the sound will stop too. you have not used any loop or anything that shows that the clip should go on forever. you can give some condition like play the clip unless some other button is pressed or some othe action is performed or so on. just use while or any or iterative or conditional statement to get your ay out.

Can you add transitions to entire timeline at once, rather than single actions only?

can you add transitions to entire timeline at once, or only a single transition between two individual clips, which then must be repeated throughout the entire timeline? It would save time to do entire timeline with one transition action.

As I show you in my book, you select several clips on your timeline at once and right-click, you will find the option to Add Default Transition to all.
You can set your Default Transition by right-clicking a transition in the Transitions panel.

Is there a way to have audio only play once in Adobe Cp 6?

I have a project that includes a click box. If the learner click OUTSIDE the click box then a failure caption comes up with audio. I'd like to have that audio play only once, even if they continue to click outside the click box. Right now, if they keep clicking outside the click box, the audio will start playing and I will have multiple instances of the audio playing (and soon it sounds like a cocktail party). How can I correct this?

Hi there,
If you want that the audio should play once after clicking that is possible, but after clicking outside it will replay that audio, but only one instance of audio will be there.
You can Insert two click boxes and One will cover the whole Slide (Incorrect ) and Other will be inside that click box (for correct region). Then You can apply standard actions on these click boxes when clicked, and include an action to stop triggered audio and another action to play the Audio.
Like below I added two click boxes and two text captions, Text Captions are not visible in output, they will only be visible after clicking the respective click box:
The advanced action on correct click box and shows the correct Caption and plays the audio for correct:
The advanced action on incorrect click box and shows the incorrect Caption and plays the audio for incorrect.
You can also change the attempts on that click box, by default it is infinite:
Is this what you want? please reply.

QuickTime will only play ONCE

Running QT (latest version) on a WinXPsp2 machine.
Every time we run QT content from a website, it will run once but not run again. There is no error, just unresponsiveness. If we close the browser and reacquire the webpage, it works again ... once. Updating did not help.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately this will not help you much, but I discovered this problem on my XP Media Center box AND my Vista laptop. It happened around the same time. All of a sudden, QT movies would only play once. I'd close the browser and it would work again, just once. I use Safari and Firefox as well...guess what, they both work fine. So there is a work around...don't use IE. I do get a QT plugin error though, it says the plugin did not initialize. Seeings that it used to work fine and stopped on both machines at the same time, I'm assuming it was some update, but using Safari or Firefox is quicker and easier than troubleshooting IE...

Making sound only play once.

Hey guys!
I'm new to the fourms, quick question the site i'm currently helping out with has an audio clip that gets loaded in through xml, I want this to only play once and then halt, but if the user wanted to click on the volume button it could start on up again without a hassle...
take a look, let me know your thoughts.
thanks guys.
here's the link: www.manitobah.ca

well, right now it plays but we just want it to play once, then stop instead of continuiously looping if you know what I mean?

Adobe flash videos now only show up/play once fully loaded.

All online flash related videos used to start playing once I hit play. They would continue to load as they played. This changed a month or so ago. Now after I hit play I just get the blank screen UNTIL the video fully loads. Then it plays. I thought for a while my flash was broke even after uninstalling/installing ect until I left it on a video I tried to play one day. I then realized it had been working, but not showing the video until fully loaded. I am running the newest firefox and adobe flash. Doesnt matter what browser I use. Trid most of the quick fixes online. Any simple setting to change it back to play the video from the get go? Any help would be great! I am running version 11,5,502,146 for flash player on Windows 7 64-bit. Any updates?

Please check out the video troubleshooting guide. Disabling hardware acceleration might resolve this for you.
Instructions for finding this information can be found here:

Sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify this by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the menu.

DW Flash Video Insert - Play Once?

Is there any way to modify the SWF controls created when DW
inserts FLV so that the video is only played once per session?
Thanks

No, the video will play each time the page is reloaded. You
need to
control the playing programmatically, but don't ask me how.
You might
get more practical help in the Flash forum.

Play sound only 1 time within ENTER_FRAME

Having trouble figuring out the logic for this, I have an enter frame event that I move a character around trying to select correct numbers, using hit test. If they land on wrong number I have a sound that should play once but since is in enter frame it plays a million times, this seems like should be a common issue but haven't been able to find any solution on the internets. This is the basic idea:
private function enterFrameHandler(event:Event):void
if ( Collision(_player, _number )
     if (_number == _activeNumber)
              playCorrectSound();
          } else {
              playIncorrectSound();
private function playIncorrectSound():void
    snd = new incorrectNumber();
    channel = new SoundChannel();
    channel = snd.play();
-thanks

If you are using an enterframe event for the duration of the object being moved, then you are calling one sound or the other to occur continuously, as you already know. So when should the decision to judge when an object is moved to the proper location or not be made? That's the question you really have to answer for yourself.
If an object only gets one judgement, then one way to control that would be to assign a property to that object to use as a boolean to decide if judgement has been rendered already or not... for the conditional you have now it could be something along the lines of...
    if (_number == _activeNumber && _player.notJudged) // for the else as well

How do I add a video effect to multiple clips in my timeline at once?

How do I add a video effect to multiple clips in my timeline at once?

or... you can command click to select all the clips you want to apply the effect to, then double click the effect in the Effects browser. (PS - you can't simply drag and drop an effect on multiple clip selections, the effect will only be applied to the clip you drop it on -- but double clicking the effect will apply it to all selected clips at once.)

Is there a way to view all cameras in the timeline at once without creating a multicam sequence?

Is there a way to view all cameras in the timeline at once without creating a multicam sequence? Is there some kind of window I can open where they will show up? I am scrubbing a timeline and I would like to see all the cameras at once.

The multicam monitor only shows multiple clips at once when they are part of a mutlicam sequence. is there some reason you don't want to use them inside a multicam sequence for previewing?
Here is a possible workaround, if your workflow circumstances will permit it:
Apply a pip preset effect to each clip in the timeline. Use UL, UR, LL, LR presets and up to four video tracks will display at once. If you need to see more than that, you'll need to tweak their position parameters by hand. When you're done previewing them all at once you just need to delete their effects from the Effects Controls panel.
I know it's not that neat or quick, but it will let you see everything at once in the program monitor.

? Flash CS4, Is it possible to adjust the length of multiple timelines at once?

Hi,
I am using Flash CS4. Is there any way to adjust the length of multiple timelines at once? I am doing an animation of leaves falling from a tree. The leaves alone have 17 separate timelines on separate layers plus each has it's own guide layer.
If I had the ability to to select all of the timelines together and adjust all of their respective start and end times at the same same time, relative to each other as well as separately, life would be so much easier!
Of course I can do it timeline by timeline, no problem, but I can't seem to adjust the length of more than one timeline at a time. (no pun intended)
Even when I select more than one timeline, the double arrow only adjusts the length of one timeline. Even each guide layer's length has to be adjusted separately. I understand the benefit of this, but, testing timing and making adjustments would be so much simpler and go so much faster if I could select and drag multiple timeline lengths at the same time.
Is there any way to do this?
I'm new to Flash so, thanks in advance for your patience with me!
SabelV

Thanks! I had a feeling. It's nice to have the answer. Oh well, now I can get back to work and not waste any more time with that part of the puzzle. You've been very helpful and I'm sure your answer is correct. Wish I knew how to rate your answer even higher. Thanks again!
