Loading External Sounds vs Library

I have successfully loaded an mp3 both externally and from
the library. When the sound is loaded from the library there is no
distortion, however using URLRequest to load the sound renders it
in a distorted tone. Any reason why this might be? I have used an
eventListener with the URLRequest method to play the sound only
after it has been fully loaded and it still doesn't correct the
issue.

use:
var wordArray2:Array = new Array("apple","baby","ball","bear","bed","bell","bird","boat","box"," bread","cake","car","cat","chair","chicken","corn","cow","dog","door", "duck","egg","eye","feet","fire","fish","hand","horse","house","milk", "money","nest","pig","rabbit","robin","sheep","shoe","toy","tree","wat er","window","wood","back","birthday","boy","children","Christmas","da y","doll","farmer","farm","father","floor","flower","game","garden","g irl","goodbye","grass","ground","head","hill","home","kitty","leg","le tter","man","men","morning","mother","name","night","paper","party","p icture","rain","ring","Santa","school","seed","sister","snow","song"," squirrel","stick","street","sun","table","time","top","watch","wind"," brother","coat","way");
var startNum:Number=0
var soundClip:Sound;
var sounds:Array = new Array();
for (var i:Number = 0; i <= 93; i++)
sounds.push(new URLRequest("PictureSounds/"+wordArray2[i]+".mp3"));
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound);
function playSound(evt:MouseEvent):void
if(soundClip){
soundClip=null;
soundClip=new Sound()
soundClip.load(sounds[startNum]);
soundClip.play();
startNum+=1

Loading external sound doesn't work

I'm trying to load the external sound file
melo01melodrama.mp3 to play in my movie. In the help files it says
To test the examples in this chapter:
Create a new Flash document and save it on your computer.
In the Timeline, select the first keyframe and open the
Actions panel.
Copy the example code listing into the Script pane.
If the code involves loading an external sound file, it will
have a line of code that looks something like this:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("click.mp3");
var s:Sound = new Sound(req);
where "click.mp3" is the name of the sound file being loaded.
In order to test these examples, you'll need to have an mp3 file to
use. You should put the mp3 file in the same folder as your Flash
document. You should then alter the code to use the name of your
mp3 file instead of the name in the code listing (for example, in
the code above you'd change "click.mp3" to the name of your mp3
file).
From the main menu, choose Control > Test Movie to create
the SWF file and preview (and hear) the output of the example.
Well, I created a new frame, opened the Actions panel and put
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("melo01melodrama.mp3");
var s:Sound = new Sound(req);
in the Script pane. However, if I try to test the movie,
nothing plays. The Flash movie is in the same folder as the mp.3
file, so it's not a path issue. How do I get this to work?

this should do the trick for you.
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("melo01melodrama.mp3");
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
mySound.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
mySound.load(req);
function onComplete(event:Event):void{
trace(event);

Error loading external library

I have created a library in Oracle using a C library test.so in sun solaris.
This library contains string manipulation and memory management functions. When I call a function in this library through PL/SQL I get the error
ORA-06520: PL/SQL: Error loading external library
ORA-06522: ld.so.1: extprocPLSExtProc: fatal: relocation error: file /home/OraHome/8.1.7/lib/test.so: symbol endl__FR7ostream: referenced symbol not found
Anybody knows how to set the environment so that symbols in libraries located in other directories can be traced by Oracle.
Mohan

Hello
We have just come across the same problem. A .so library is
accesible (i.e. we have the adecuate permissions through Unix)
and the extproc procedure finds it, but we cannot access the
functions within it. We also get the (really strange) Bad Magic
error.
I see that you posted this problem a long while ago and I was
wondering if you've found a solution you could share.
Thanks,

PL/SQL missing symbol while loading external library

I have followed all the steps in creating external library in PL/SQL i.e. configuring Listerner, TNSNAMES.ORA etc. etc.
While invoking a function call on this external library, I am getting a missing symbol error :
ORA-06520: PL/SQL: Error loading external library
ORA-06522: /home/qzintf/libSQLAdapter.so: undefined symbol: Fneeded32
ORA-06512: at "EQMIG.QUARTZSQLADAPTER", line 0
ORA-06512: at line 12
This missing symbol "Fneeded32" is located in a tuxedo shared lib. The path of tuxedo library (libfml32.so) has already been put in the env var LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but still Oracle is not looking into this library !
Is there any way where I can define dependency of QUARTZSQLADAPTER on libfml32.so ?? Or make oracle use load this library while loading QUARTZSQLADAPTER ??

Is the path to libfml32.so accessible to the oracle o/s user and the so itself readable/loadable by oracle?
You neglected to supply any details of platform and versions - please always do. Full Oracle version and version of o/s.
If you are using Oracle 64bit (quite likely on Unix flavours), confirm that libfml32.so is a 64bit so. If 32bit then the loadlibrary call will fail as 32bit objects cannot be natively loaded into a 64bit process image.

Have you tried importing them into the EXS 24 ? Assuming the process is the same if you're on Logic X, its just a matter of putting the soundfont files into the ~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments folder and the EXS converts them when you try to load them - its explained properly in the Software Instruments manual (EXS24 section), but its very quick and easy. It might provide a decent alternative.

Error loading external library (Oracle 8.1.5)

I'm running Oracle 8.1.5 and am trying to configure the interMedia Text option to enable long test searches using the "contains" operator.
I've installed (and re-installed) the interMedia text option trying to get this thing working.

No matter what I do, however, I get the following error when I try to create a context type index:

I don't know alot about libraries and external processes, but from what I've read, I have everything setup properly. I checked the dba_libraries view and it shows the proper filename and path for the libctxx8.so file. It should be correct as it's the same file/path I entered while installing the interMedia text option.
I've also tried setting text_enable = FALSE in initXXX.ora to make sure that doesn't interfere. Somewhere I read that having that parameter set to TRUE may cause some problems as it's only for version prior to 8.1.5.
If you have any additional information that can help me get this working, it would be greatly appreciated. I've spent countless hours and am just spinning my wheels now with an ever increasing level of frustration.

This might be best asked in the Oracel Text forum...
But, it appears that you have extproc configured correctly, the problem is that extproc cannot find the shared object in question. It cannot dynamically load the shared object becaus it cannot find it.
In my experience, this is due to a LD_LIBRARY_PATH unix environmental variable that does not include the directory where the shared object is. You should set this variable in the login script for the oracle user.
From the installation guide.... I am not sure if this library is in ORACLE_HOME/lib, if not add the directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Required when using Oracle products that use shared libraries. Set LD_LIBRARY_
PATH to include $ORACLE_HOME/lib.

Loading from library conflicts with loading external swf

I'm very new to ActionScript, so this might be incredibly basic. However, I've Googled and read myself into a coma and I'm not finding a solution.
I have a movie with 6 navigation buttons. Four of them load external .swf slideshows, and they work fine - as each file loads, the previous one clears the stage, etc. The other button that I currently have set up is loading, from the library, an image. The problem I'm having is that the slideshows replace each other on the stage - they're not stacking, they're replacing - but when the user selects the button that loads the image, the image overlays the last-selected slideshow. If the user selects the image first, the image is visible when two of the external files transition. Because of that 6th button, which is not yet even started, it's not desirable to me to simply set up the single image as another external file; if it's at all possible, I need to be able to pull from a library file when I build that last button.
What I'd like to do - because there is no logical order that the buttons should be selected in - is figure out how to tell every button to remove the image file on click. I've tried using this in the four buttons that link to the slideshows, to deal with the image (that's the one called quoteImage):
if(myLoader != null && contains(quoteImage)){
myLoader.removeChild(quoteImage);
which has the advantage of not giving me any errors, but doesn't actually fix my problem. I've tried many, many other things, and I'm just really stumped on what exactly I need to do to make this work the way I want it to. Based on the fact that the books and online resources I've been using don't really cover this specific example, I suspect it might be an incredibly idiot thing to do, but I'd really like it to work this way if that's possible.
The code as it stands, with the global variables and the first two buttons (the next three are identical to the second button and the sixth button doesn't exist) looks like this:
var myLoader:Loader=new Loader();
var quoteImage:Bitmap;
stop();
// Loads quoteImage from library
btnQuotes.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showquote);
function showquote(event:MouseEvent):void {
var myBitmapDataObject:myBitmapData = new myBitmapData(500, 350);
var quoteImage:Bitmap = new Bitmap(myBitmapDataObject);
quoteImage.x=150;
quoteImage.y=180;
addChild(quoteImage);
// Loads industrial.swf from external file
btnIndustrial.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showindustrialcontent);
function showindustrialcontent(event:MouseEvent):void {
var myURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest("industrial.swf");
myLoader.x=150;
myLoader.y=180;
myLoader.load(myURL);
addChild(myLoader);
Help is very much appreciated.

I see now how to import and display a library class object
using:
var MovieClipClass:Class =
Class(loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition("myLibraryAsset"))
var movieClip:Sprite = new MovieClipClass();
addChild(movieClip)
But this seems to only work for SWF's published for AS3 Flash
Player 9.
I need to do the same for SWF's published with AS2 Flash
Player 7.
Any ideas?

Loading external swf files in a swf - Error#1009

I have been having trouble using a swf file within a swf file. The external swf files all work as expected. However when used within another swf file I get the standard TypeError #1009 for some of my swfs. The external swf files are mainly actionscript 3 files. A typical swf file will have an object (or objects) in the library which has an export for ActionScipt property enabled and an addEventListener(Event.ENTERFRAME, somefunction). About four years ago when I had to do some work with AS2 I seemed to get around a similar issue with the _lockroot method but this is no longer part of AS3. I have searched various forums and note that I am not the only one with this issue but did not find any relevant solutions. If anyone could give me any ideas on how to get around this it would be appreciated.

Hi,
I have added a download to rapidshare and its link is:
Download link: http://rapidshare.com/files/380202712/ExtSwfs.zip
The main file Training01.fla has been set up with links to download several swf's. The links that do not work properly are those labelled : Module6 and Module 8. The first Module 6 connects to a function that is a variation of how I was trying to load external swfs using Application Domain, while Module 8 is a link to a swf that uses and external class. Module 8 is supposed to load with rotating stars, while Module 6 loads the same file as the link called Module 1. As soon as I use the two links Module 6 or Module 8 the whole lot ceases to work properly. I did also follow through the examples on the Adobe site. The examples for Module 6 and Module 8 are tutorials I have used from the Internet as part of my training from the site FlashMyMind.com but they replicate the type of work we have been doing with respect to using ActionScript3.
Re my background, at this stage I am self-taught using tutorials on the web and whatever books I can lay my hands on here. There is no structured training available where I live as there is insufficient demand and no books available on Flash or ActionScript at the local book stores or libraries so the books are ones I have ordered via the Internet. The one I am currently using apart from Adobe Classroom in a Book Flash CS4 is O'Reilly's Learning ActionScript 3.0 a Beginners Guide.
The other problem I have been trying to solve and still researching is why one loses sound in the flash player when playing flv files, if the user has selected or restarted a video (or videos) many times eg 25 to 30 times as we create video training files and serve them to the user within the flash environment using Flash Player 9 and IE6.

Using Flashvars to load external mp3 files

I am trying to find a very good step by step tutorial on using "Flashvars" to load external mp3 files, I have been searching on google and the many I have found fall short in some way or another. From what I have been able to gather, I have tried using the code in red (commented out), which works, and modify it to use "Flashvars". The code that works, the mp3 file is hard coded, but my goal is to use "Flashvars" which I am attempting to do in the code following the code in red. I am also including the html code. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Trouble with loading external mp3 files

I apologize for the length of the post. I hope this is clear
of what I am trying to explain.
My problem deals with getting "undefined" when I press a
button to load an external mp3 files. The following is what my XML
childNode looks like:
<option phonetic="Soundless, or A" name="aleph"
cursive="alephCursive.swf" block="alephBlock.swf"
audio="char1.mp3"/>
Every attribute loads the way I've programmed them, except
for the last one "audio".
The following is what my actionscript looks like loading in
these attributes:
Everything is happening inside the onLoad event for my XML
file.
var xmlContent = this.firstChild.firstChild;
audioContent = new Array();
for (var i = 0;
i<this.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {
nextEntry = xmlContent.childNodes
audioContent = [nextEntry.attributes.phonetic,
nextEntry.attributes.name, nextEntry.attributes.cursive,
extEntry.attributes.block, nextEntry.attributes.audio];
The code above simply adds each attribute to the audioContent
array. Each element traces out correctly.
The following code is how I am using these attributes:
for (var i = 0; i<audioLength; i++) {
audioContainer.attachMovie("container4", "audioItem"+i, i);
// Create a shortcut reference to the present movie clip
thisClip = audioContainer["audioItem"+i];
thisClip.myTxt1.htmlText = audioContent[0];
thisClip.myTxt2.htmlText = audioContent
[1];
thisClip.cursive_mc =
loadThis(assetPath+audioContent[2], thisClip.cursive_mc);
thisClip.block_mc = loadThis(assetPath+audioContent
[3], thisClip.block_mc);
thisClip.speaker_mc.attachMovie("speaker", "speaker_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
thisClip.speaker_mc.speaker_mc.onRollOver = function() {
this.nextFrame();
thisClip.speaker_mc.speaker_mc.onRollOut = function() {
this.prevFrame();
thisClip.speaker_mc.speaker_mc.onRelease = function() {
mySnd.loadSound(audioPath+audioContent[4],true);
Loading the text works inside the htmlText. Using a function
loadThis to load external swf files works corerctly and even
attaching a linked movieclip from my library called "speaker" works
correctly.
The problem comes from pressing the speaker movieclip that
the output traces "undefined" instead of the external mp3 file.
I appreciate any help. Thanks.

As Ned said the problem might be with the file structure on the server. Other problems may be with spelling. You computer may not be case sensitive to the names of the .swf files that you are loading, but your server might. So, on your computer when you are testing, second.swf is the same as Second.swf, or even second.SWF. But, on the server each of these variations is seen as a different file. Another problem is that when you are loading files from the same computer in testing, those files are close and so they load very quickly from your computer. When the files have to travel from the server, there will likely be a measurable period of time before the file is ready to be shown. This is particularly problematic with video that is embedded into an .swf. The whole file will need to be downloaded and uncompressed before it is available to play. If you stream the video as an external file, you can shorten the wait considerably.

HELP PLEASE - loading external swf scale problem

I have a Flex 3 Actionscript Project. Basically all it does it take some flash vars, set the sound volume, and load an external swf using a loader and add the loader as a child. The problem is I want the loaded external swf to be scaled to fill the entire stage, even if it distorts it, and that doesn't seem to be happening.
I really need to resolve this. ANY HELP APPRECIATED.
Marcus

Thanks for the reply!
Here's basically what my code looks like (note: I cut some stuff out that wasn't relevant for the sake of clarity).
private var swfLoader:Loader = null;
public function MySwfContainer()
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;
    stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(swfUrl);
    swfLoader = new Loader();
    swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,SWFLoader_Complete);
    swfLoader.load(request);
private function SWFLoader_Complete(event:Event):void
    addChild(swfLoader);
What I am observing is that if a swf larger than the stage area is loaded it clips it rather than scale it down and make it fit.
