Flash project audio button help needed

Hi,
I am just learning Actionscript 3 and trying to create buttons that turn a previous sound off before they turn a new one on. Also I want a button on the front that turns all sound off if it is pressed. I have attached my files in a zip folder.
The problem is all of my buttons which are inside movieclips just control the one sound. I have a couple more to do. I understand I will need an if statement but somehow I have to control all sounds and I don't quite get it.
I would really love someone to point me in the right direction. I cannot find a tutorial anywhere and am going crazy.
I look forward to someones reply,
Jan

I never had this problem while i was running previous versions on my old mac
When i boot up logic it does say something that i've never seen before which could be the cause...' Project Manager database on disk has got wrong version. Rescanning required'.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Try updating to 7.2.3
As far as the Manager... try doing a new expanded scan, overnight. This will update the database.
As far as the built in driver... you are selecting an INPUT.... and you expect it to change the OUTPUT??? Again, you are selecting an INPUT, while expecting the OUTPUT to change.
The Built in drivers have only 1 output available, And in your case, that is working as expected. When you want to RECORD via either input, that is when you change the driver. You should have two choices : Mic, and Line.

HELP!! Flash project due monday and need help asap

I am a student of the University of Phoenix and I am taking a multi media class, I was given an assingment to create a flash movie given a code to place in the movie and I cannot get it to work, I have one error, I also have no experiance with codes it wasn't a prereq., I need help and the Academic Advisor told me to post here, I am getting nowhere fast please help me! I will attach and hopefully someone will be able to assist me it probably is simple, but the movie needs to stop and replay with the button.
Thank you in advance.I have been working for 3 days and getting nowhere.

noone's going to be able to help you much with the swf (unless they are willing to decompile it). you could copy and paste the code in this forum and probably get some help. and, if you uploaded your fl somewhere and posted a link, you might get some help.

Simple button help needed!

I want to make a simple round button that glows when you
mouse over it and depresses when you click it.
Apparently to do this I need to use Filters to make the glow
and bevels. But Filtersonly work on movie clips, buttons and text.
So I make a circle and convert it into a button symbol
(Btn1). Then I make another button symbol (Btn2) and use the first
button symbol (Btn 1) on the Up Over and Down frames of Btn 2.
Assorted Filters are applied to Btn 1 on the Up Over and Down
frames to get the effects I want.
I test the button (Btn2) using Enable Simple Buttons. It
works perfectly - glows on mouse over and depresses on click. Then
I try Test Movie -- and the button doesn't work!!!
Not does it work when exported as a SWF file!!!
I watched a tutorial video that came with my Flash Pro 8
Hands-On-Training (HOT) book and he used pretty much the same
technique -- except he only tested his button with Enable Simple
Buttons. I'll bet my house his didn't work with Test Movie either!
The stupid thing, is I was just able to achieve exactly what
I wanted very quickly using LiveMotion 2!
What is wrong here? Why is it so impossible to create a glow
button in Flash? Why has it been easy in Live Motion for years?
All help appreciated!
Thanks
craig

I thought the nesting button situation might be the problem
BUT there is no other way to apply Filters to Up, Down, etc. Also,
a freaking tutorial book described that as a valid method, but
obviously it ain't.
I tried using movieclips as well but basically had the same
problem.
I mentioned LiveMotion 2 because that ancient program can do
easily what Flash Pro 8 seems incapable of.
What is the logic behind not allowing Filters to be applied
to simple graphics? It's absurd!
There's got to be a way...

Multiple Buttons help needed

Hey everyone,
I am just beginning to learn the basics of creating web sites in flash.
I have been following a tutorial and have it done pretty well, but they only cover one main button, and I am at the point where I need several more, but I am doing something wrong.
The tutorial is at this page: http://www.flash-game-design.com/flash-tutorials/advancedWebsite-flash-tutorial-3.html
You can skip to the end and download the .fla if you want.
What I want to do specifically is to add probably 4 other main buttons that can also have drop down menus. Please be as specific as possible because the extent of my code knowledge isn't very far.
Thanks in advance
The code for the main page is as follows:
menu = ["About", "Bio", "Contact"];
this.createEmptyMovieClip("content", 1000);
this.attachMovie("sectionBackground","mask",1001);
mask._y = content._y=208;
mask._x = target=68;
content.setMask(mask);
content._x = -1000;
imageScrollSpeed = 5;
xStart = 125;
yStart = 51;
bWidth = 79;
bHeight = 17;
interval = 50;
countDown = menu.length;
menuOpen = false;
theTime = 0;
buttonScrollSpeed = 2;
for (var i = 0; i<menu.length; i++) {
var section = content.attachMovie("section_"+menu[i], "section_"+menu[i], i+100);
section._x = section._width*i;
var b = this.attachMovie("subButton", "subButton"+i, countDown);
countDown--;
b.stop();
b._x = xStart;
b._y = ySwtart;
b.interval = interval*i;
b.target = yStart+(bHeight*i);
b.txt = menu[i];
b.pos = target+(i*-section._width);
b.onPress = function() {
target = this.pos;
closeMenu();
this.gotoAndStop(1);
b.onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
b.onRollOut = function() {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
b._visible = false;
function closeMenu() {
for (var i = 0; i<menu.length; i++) {
var b = this["subButton"+i];
b._visible = false;
b._x = xStart;
b._y = yStart;
menuOpen = false;
mainButton.onPress = function() {
if (!menuOpen) {
theTime = getTimer();
menuOpen = true;
for (var i = 0; i<menu.length; i++) {
   _root.main["subButton"+i]._visible = true;
} else {
closeMenu();
mainButtoncopy.onPress = function() {
if (!menuOpen) {
theTime = getTimer();
menuOpen = true;
for (var i = 0; i<menu.length; i++) {
   _root.main["subButton"+i]._visible = true;
} else {
closeMenu();
function scrollButtons() {
if (menuOpen) {
for (var i = 0; i<menu.length; i++) {
   var b = this["subButton"+i];
   if ((theTime+b.interval)<getTimer()) {
    b._y += (b.target-b._y)/buttonScrollSpeed;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
content._x += (target-content._x)/imageScrollSpeed;
scrollButtons();

I still really need help on this

I have updated my CS4, Ppro to 4.2.1. The problem still remains. Would it have anything to do with my project setting? I don't have much knowledge to setting one up. The difference between the AVC projects and etc?
EDIT : I took the problem to my lecturer, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but his "magic touch" click on the preview panel (Main composition) has made the video show up! But even after render, it won't play. But scrubbing along frames is now fixed. Any idea what's causing the no-preview-playback?

Flash CS4 Quiz Template: Help Needed

My organization uses the Flash CS4 quiz template that is included within the eLearning suite. Everything works great. The quiz loads on the LMS, it gives learners' their scores, etc. The issue we're having is after the score is recorded within the LMS.
If a user fails the quiz, the LMS marks the quiz as 'Completed/Failed'. The LMS (Inquisic EX), then, moves the failed quiz into the 'Completed Courses' tab. I understand why it does this because the 'Completed' mark given refers to the learner having gone through all of the pages within the quiz; however, the learner failed the quiz. If the learner goes back into the quiz and passes it the second time around, the LMS continues to state 'Completed/Failed'.
Does anyone know why this would happen? Are there SCORM settings we ought to change within the source code provided by Adobe?
I really appreciate your help!!

I think this is what I'm having trouble with, did you figure
it out? I need help making checkbox text have multiple
lines.

Moving Clips - and how not to lose the audio? Help needed!

Hi,
I have used Premiere Pro 6.0 quite extensively over the years and have recently moved to Premiere Pro CS5.
With Premiere Pro 6.0 I could move/drag clips on the time-line and their linked audio would move with them. If I moved the video clip to another video track, say, above an existing clip, the audio would also move to a free audio track and not automically write over any existing audio. This would allow me to easily reorder clips on the timeline by simply moving them around and using other video tracks as temporary storage locations... and not lose or write over any other existing audio.
However in Premiere Pro CS5 if I do the same thing, the video will move to the other video track I move it to, but the audio will stay in the say audio track and will write-over any existing audio when the mouse button is released. The only way around this I can find in the manual is to: (1) drag the video to the other video track, and (2) press and hold the <SHIFT> key, whilst, (3) draging the linked audio to another audio track to avoid existing audio from being over-written.
My question: Is there a configuation I can set in CS5 to allow moving/draging of clips to work like in Premiere Pro 6.0? I have already messed up multiple times in CS5 by inadvertently over-writing existing audio.
Your expert advice and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Harm,
Your reply is not helpful. Just so you know, I have read through the manual extensively and could not find an answer for my question. AND that's why I brought my question here.
Perhaps I missed something in the manual. Would you mind re-reading my question and helping me if it is so easy?!
This has been frustrating for me for the last three months and I thought I would come to this forum for some expert advice. So far I have been told that CS5 is designed to be like this (does not answer my question), and now you tell me to look up the manual (again does not answer my question).
I'm amazed by responses that miss the question entirely and give helpful suggestions like that!

AWT start/stop bundle buttons Help needed.

Hello,
I need help getting start/stop buttons on my AWT Class to take the action of methods from an other class. I will give anybody who can figure this out ALL OF MY Duke Dollars. (I shortend it up to the important stuff so that there isn't too much to read):
MY PROBLEM: I need to have my Gui user interface to start up first. Then when somebody clicks the Gui class "start" button, it will call the start method of my Activator class and similiarly for the "stop" button. When I run the program, it starts up already in "start" mode. It should start up without getting the service (stop mode) and then get it once "start" is pressed" Hopefully somebody can help me figure this out.
First, I have the following AWT class
public class Gui extends Frame{
      Frame f;
      MyImage imagePanel;
      Button button_start;
      Button button_stop;
      Label statusBar;
      Panel btns;
    public Gui() {
        addWindowListener(new WinClosing());
        setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        imagePanel = new MyImage();
        btns = new Panel();
        button_start = new Button("START");
        button_stop = new Button("STOP");
        btns.add(button_start);
        btns.add(button_stop);
        add("North", btns);
        add("Center",imagePanel);
        button_start.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
            public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ){
                imagePanel.getImage();
        button_stop.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
            public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ){
            imagePanel.closeImage();}
        });          }Then I have the Activator class:
public class Activator implements BundleActivator {
     public ServiceReference reference;
     public void start(BundleContext bc) {
         reference = bc.getServiceReference(GpsService.SERVICE_NAME);
         if (reference == null) {
         System.out.println("User could not get a service.");
          } else {
         AnyService anything = (AnyService) bc.getService(reference);
                UserClass user = new UserClass();
                user.startup(anything);
public void stop(BundleContext bc) {
    if (reference != null) {
    bc.ungetService(reference);
    reference = null;
    System.out.println("User has released its Service.");
    } }}Then this previous class calls the startup method for this class:
public class Driver {
        public void startup(AnyService any){
        double any = any.getValue();
        System.out.println(any);
        Gui g = new Gui(any);
        g.setSize(714, 480);
        g.setVisible(true);
      }}Thanks in advance!

Hmm, it's quite hard to imagine what's going on without the code for MyImage. However, I guess you need to add an ActionListener to your two buttons. Are you sure you need two buttons, though? Presumably you can't stop until you've started and vice versa?
private Activator activator;
private Button startButton;
private Button stopButton
public Gui()
startButton = new Button("Start");
stopButton = new Button("Stop");
stopButton.setEnabled(false);
startButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
      start();
stopButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
      stop();
private synchronized void start()
// Construct the Activator when we need it
if(activator == null)
    activator = new Activator();
activator.start(...); // Don't know where you get your BundleContext from!
startButton.setEnabled(false);
stopButton.setEnabled(true);
private synchronized void stop()
activator.stop(...); // Don't know where you get your BundleContext from!
startButton.setEnabled(true);
stopButton.setEnabled(false);
}I'm assuming here that once the Activator is "started" is stays started until it is told to stop, ie, it doesn't stop itself after a finite amount of time.
Hope this helps.

FLV custom UI buttons help needed

Hello everyone,
I have been searching Google for a few hours trying to find a
good tutorial for a beginner(myself) on how to add Custom UI
components and control and FLV file in AS 3.0. (I am running across
plenty of AS 2.0 tutorials) The reason being I want to play an FLV
in my SWF with only a Play/Pause button and a Mute button and do
not want to be limited to the positions of the flvPlayback
component skins.. I would use the flvPlayback component with the
custom skins but the controls get in the way of my reflection (I am
using the Pixelfumes AS 3.0 reflection class) and autohide is not
an option for me right now.
So what I have done so far is created my FLV
Created my .FLA
Within the .FLA I dragged the flvPlayback component to the
stage and gave it an instance name of video
I chose "none" for the skin
I then converted this into a MC with an instance name of
video_mc.
I created a new layer and added a PlayPause button from the
components panel
I created a new layer and added a Mute button from the
components panel
I created a new actionscript layer and added the following
(this is for the reflection)
(See attached code)
Now I am stuck. I don't know how to get the buttons to
control the flv in AS 3 to play, pause and mute. Can someone help
me out and point me to a AS 3 tutorial or perhaps give me the code
I need to input?
Thank you very much,
Mark

Flash Matrix Code Tutorial Help Needed

Please could someone help me out with this Flash problem, I would really appreciate it.
I have followed the guide at this link to create a matrix code effect. The matrix code font file is available to download from this site also (mCode15).
Once I get this file up and running and understand how it works, I'm going to tweak it somewhat to suit my needs.
I am, however, experiencing some problems getting it to work as described in the tutorial. I have followed the tutorial to the letter, but when the flash movie file runs, only the glyph symbol that I used to create the_one and one_pod movie symbols is displayed in the code that scrolls down screen. I have embedded the font the way it describes and even added it to the library and set it to export for actionscript using the linkage option. But the matrix code that rains down is still only one symbol which never changes.
Please please help me out with this as I'm slowly losing my sanity trying to figure it out. I am using Flash CS3 on a PC to do this and the file is set up up as action script 2.0.

hi
try asking in the AS2 forum; they will be better placed to help you - and post some of your code too rather than a link (you cant expect us to do all the work for you )

Flash text editing serious help needed

Agriculture Project - Advise and help needed

Dear Gurus,
I have done extensive preparation work for a project in Agriculture which is based on a cooperative model type from a SD module point of view (5 companies will share means of productions, labour, harvests), those 5 companies will rent the land divided into parcels to another 2 organisations that will not exploit the land but just rent it. 1 of those 2 companies will be trading from a SD perspective with suppliers to buy and sell production.
I am looking for help and advise on how to best implement sales processes in SD.
Being new to this forum and having never worked on an agricultural project, I am not sure if this forum is the best to get ideas, help,and why not set-up an online working group. So if I got mistaken, I apologize in advance and would kindly ask you to put me in the right direction.
Alternatively, I would be very interested to hear where I can get best practices in implementing SD within a cooperative agricultural environment.
Obviously, should you be interested and have some experience in the area above mentioned, I will be happy to give you more details.
Kind regards
Christian

Dear Christian,
You do not have to go to specific details of your process. The generic process can be dealt here.
As a process owner, if you feel the processes are really unique, please let me know so that I can check this with concerned stakeholders of the forum.
This might be of interest to them as the industry vertical here is new.
Do let me know in case of any concerns.
Regards,
Rakesh

.MTS Audio Files help needed

I'm having a little trouble with editing.
The footage I am editing are .MTS files. Both the audio and video.
The video is playing fine (well, as best it can for my rubbish uni computers) but I am having trouble hearing the audio - and I'm getting lots of conforming errors.
I read here that CS4 doesn't support .MTS audio files. If that's the case then why can I hear some of them and not the others?
Should I be converting the audio into another format before editing? If so, then what's the best format to convert to, and how can I do it in a way that I don't have to strip the audio from the video (I want to keep them perfectly synced)
Thanks in advance for your help,
Nath

Hi Bill,
Thanks for your reply, that's an interesting article. The files I am editing are stored on an external hard drive - I tried deleting a few files on there to make some room (whilst I was in the editing suite) and it wouldn't let me delete them because it said I didn't have administrator permission - despite this being my own hard drive. Could that be causing a problem with conforming? Should I copy the files accross onto the internal drive? The scratch disks are set to the local D drive.
Nath
Ps: I've just downloaded a program which is converting the .MTS files into .MOV. I don't really want to do this as this will probably loose quality - but I'm trying everything! What would be the optimum file type to convert to?

Flash Drop Down Menu Help Needed

I am using this set-up for a drop-down menu:
http://www.flash-menu.net/flash_drop_down_menu/flash_drop_down_menu_component.htm
I'm usign the vertical setup: http://flash-menu.net/flash_drop_down_menu/download_vertical_drop_down_menu_free.htm
I want to put it both on a static html page (for those who do not have FLASH installed), as well as the FLASH site.
This is the site: http://www.miltongordonussenate.com/flash/index.html
I want to put this menu on both the Campaign page, AND the Links page.
I have the seperate parts- the swf file, the html file, and the jscript file. I don't know if I am uploading the seperate files in the wrong place, or if I am just completely off base.
Can someone help me with this, please?

Ok, I see several people have looked, but no one has answered.
Is there a better way to do what I want to do? Any help is appreciated!

LPX audio transpose help needed...

So guys I noticed last night that anything that I turned into an apple loop I could transpose in the upper left drop down menu ( where quantize options are )
But I cannot do this with audio I record in until it has been apple looped and reimported.
Is there an option in recording pref's or anywhere that will allow you to record in a way that it codes the audio to be ready to transpose with out having to apple loop everything?
Thanks!

Audio recorded in the current Logic session, can follow tempo and can be transposed:
http://help.apple.com/logicpro/mac/10/#lgcpef37cd28
Unfortunately, the manual wrongly states that Transposition and Follow Tempo are only for Apple Loops...
