Playing and Stopping Layer Stacks

I'm having trouble gettting a button to start or stop a slideshow that's built as a Layer Stack.
I've tried associating the Play action of a Button to the Layer Stack. No go.
I've tried changing the Playback Style of the Layer Stack to None and Presentation. The Play action doesn't work.
I've tried changing the Playback Style of the Layer Stack to Auto Play with Auto Start enabled. Auto start does work in starting the slideshow, but clicking on a button with a Stop action that associated to the Layer Stack doesn't work.

I want so carry out the main character speak the message and stop yourself automatically without user intervention to push any buttons ...
I have the animation code, how do I get this code to the buttons and start the animation so load the page?
Ah, and how to put the link to a page by clicking on this open a flash site?

How to do it step-by-step? Because i'm beginner in FLash and that things of animation, codes, functions...
And I create that simple animation in other program, not using the Adobe Flash, but I think can be edited that file animation in Flash because I have the files ".swf" and ".flv"...
I don't know how to do it in Adobe Flash CS3, but I have that program installed in my pc, then can you talk me what to do it?

How to control the line in--- PLAY and STOP ?

Hi,
   This is the volume control library downloaded from NI wed site .It is help for my task.
   My task is to control the line in with LabVIEW, for example STOP, PLAY and adjust volume with LabVIEW button.Though the example I see the volume control can be enablement.But I don't know how to design the PLAY and STOP button.
   I see it is similar to the volume control.There is function to control the the PLAY and STOP in the system Library-winmm.dll. I don't know whether all I think is right.I have the following serial question. How to use the function?How to understand the system Library?I can't acquire some information from it and I don't know the input and output parameter in the funcion.
   Can any one help me out please?
   I'm sorry that my English is poor.
   Thanks.

I assume you are referring to audio line-in volume control and lerft-right balance...
If so, then check out this thread:

Look at the info near the bottom from Paul S & Spectre. They talk about "winmm.dll"

Strange pops when pressing play and stop. Logic 9.1.3, Mac internal Sound

Hi,
So I opened Logic for the first time in a while.
Logic Pro Version 9.1.3 (1697.87) 32bit.
Mac 2 x 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Mac OS 10.6.5
6GB RAM
I am using the internal Mac sound card, set up as follows :
Core Audio
Built In Line Output
IO Buffer Size 512
I am running ONE Mono audio track, with one Space Designer plug-In (mono>Stereo) inserted on the first insert slot.
There is nothing else playing back on this particular logic song.
Every time I press the spacebar for play or stop, I get a tiny delay, a pop, and then is starts, or it stops playing.
This is using the Macs' own internal sound card. With Logic's own Space Deigner, on ONE mono audio track.
SO, any ideas as to why this happens?
The only reason I opened Logic, was because I wanted to show a producer friend of mine some personal Space Designer presets I had made a couple of years ago, in case that was the type of ambience he is interested in using for a mix.
My plan was to use Logic as an effects suite, using a Motu 828mk3 conected via ADAT Lightpipe to my Pro Tools HD converter, to send and recieve 4 stereo sends and returns with 4 instances of Space Designer.
But, if Logic hiccups with the internal sound card... what will happen when I use the Motu? I dread to think about it, but will test it tomorrow.
At least I have two weeks to get this working or re-do my convolution reverbs in another plug-in (Waves IR1) that I can use in Pro Tools, in case Logic just does not work out.

The multi-purpose internal audio chips used in Mac's & PC's has some built in latency and seemes to default to a basic 16-bit 48kHz format. Any change from this and the chip has to change on the fly, I knew sample rate did this, makes sense bit depth might as well.
Some internal chips have a built in noise gate which can also cause a "thump". (rare)
Cheap or out-of-spec audio chips with a high DC offset will cause a pop when pressing "Play" and "Stop", as will an audio file that has a high DC offset.

How to play and stop flv files through NetStream in AIR Application

Hi,
In a folder I have 'n' number of flv file, which are DRM protected. when the user try to play those files for the first time through my AIR application, it will prompt for username and password and gets the license/voucher from the server and store it in AIR Runtime. so that from the next time onwords it won't prompt for username and password as because it already has license/voucher.
     My problem is assume there are 500 files, such that for each file the user has to enter his credentials[username and password]. which is a stupid thing. I want to avoid this process by implementing this process internally/programetically. By playing/accessing each file through netstream from the folder and setDRMAuthenticationCredentials for that file and stop the stream. Here I am able to play each file but I am failed to stop it. I mean to say I will get the license for all the flv files internally[while loading my AIR application], such that user should not be interrupted for his credentials for each file.He should play as if he is accessing/playing a non-DRM protected file. I will be very thank full if any one help me out in this.

Why do I get a popping sound when I press play and stop?

I hope this is an easy answer for someone. When I press the play or stop button I get a loud popping noise (same with space bar). I want to use AA to play sound clips over on air radio and this would ne an obvious problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It's almost certainly exactly that...I get the same effect when I do a quick playback via my laptop's internal card rather than hooking up my Firewire stuff. Going through and laboriously adjusting things on the Windows Sound control panel will stop it--but, alas, watching a video or listening to some kind of playback on the net can instantly reset the internal card to something different again.

How to link audio to button to make it play and stop on click? Help please!!!!

Hi guys,
I am trying to connect audio to the button so when I click on the button music it starts playing and when clicked again music stops. Any ideas??

assign your sound a class, say S. you can then use:
var s:Sound=new S();
var sc:SoundChannel;
var soundon:Boolean;
yourbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btnF);
function btnF(e:MouseEvent){
if(!soundon){
sc=s.play();
} else {
sc.stop();
soundon=!soundon;

Need to play and stop sound file with 1 ms resolution

Hi,
I'm trying to open a .wav file then later play it at a time when another parallel loop activates a boolean local variable which controls playback in my "sound" loop. I need high time resolution in stopping the playing of the .wav file, ~1ms. From what I've gathered, I can't use the "sound output write.vi" because it locks the loop until it finishes outputting a set number of samples. Because of this, "sound output stop.vi" has to wait until the next iteration, which is more than ~1 ms.
In the help menu of the Sound Ouput VIs it says you can set the task ID for the "sound output start.vi" using the "sound output configure.vi." Unfortunately I've only been able to use the "sound output start.vi" following "play sound file.vi", and I don't really know why this is the case.
I can't start my sound with the "play sound file.vi" because it locks the loop its in until it finishes playing the sound. Oddly this only happens when there is a parallel loop running, if I run it by itself, with no other loops, it doesn't lock the loop. I thought it might have something to do with the local variable, but the loop doesn't lock when the loop restarts the sound using the "sound output start.vi."
After opening a .wav file, can i use the "sound output configure.vi" to create a task ID for the "sound output start.vi" to work? Or do I have to use the "sound output write.vi" after calling the "sound output configure.vi." The help menu makes it seem like the prior suggestion is possible.
Thanks a lot!

Since it sounds like the problem you're running into is getting the data loaded from the file before you're ready to play it, look at the Files sub-palette, specifically the Sound File Read Simple VI. You can use this VI to load the data into a waveform and have it ready for use later in the program.
So in your overall program, read the file with Sound File Read Simple and configure the output with Sound Output Configure and call Sound Output Write when you're ready to play the waveform.

Video plays and stops

When playing videos, the audio will start and after about 6 seconds they stop (video is a picture and does not play). I can move the time bar to later in the video and hit play again and it will change pictures and play audio for another 6 seconds. I can't fix it.
I have repaired quicktime 3 times. (videos play fine in quick time).
I have repaired itunes.
I have reloaded and downloaded latest itunes.
I have tried the advance options with the directx and safe options in the setup.
What else can I try.

If something is not properly encoded, surely it won't play at all, rather than playing till it's half way and then stopping. Also, if a file is already in mp4 format in your library, trying to 'convert to ipod' will only get you a message that it's already in the proper format.
In my experience, both of the above assumptions are incorrect. 'Properly encoded' is not an either/or proposition. Sometimes vids can properly encoded but their data rate is just too high for the device in question. In that case, they will likely restart or just stop playing at some point in the middle -- particularly for stuff encoded with a variable bit rate. Also, sometimes only certain types of waveform show a problem with an encoding -- that waveform might not occur until partway through a song.
Similarly, 'Convert for iPod' will in fact convert a video that is already in MP4, provided that iTunes thinks the data rate is too high. It will re-encode as an MP4 with a lower bitrate. I have verified this myself.
As for your playback issue, it seems much more wide-ranging than the problem I was originally responding to. I think it might be an unrelated issue. Unfortunately, I don't have any advice for somebody whose iPod has problems playing any video. My suggestions only might apply if the iPod has an issue with a specific video, but continues to play the rest as it always had.
Good luck with your problem, sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Play and Stop with Spacebar not working in newly updated Premiere CC

Tried on two different machines (iMac and MacPro) in last 24 hours. Audio also goes out randomly

Have not connected any external audio devices. The audio dropout seems to be a common problem according to other staff and users on the forums, with no real solution. The spacebar not working is a new issue though that just started once I updated yesterday on two different machines, both on OSX 10.9.4

Action Script 3 code not working for start and stop button?

Ok so I have this simple animation I created of a circle that moves from one side of the stage to the other. I have added a new layer and called it buttons. On this layer I have added 2 buttons. One for start and another one for stop. The purpose is to get my circle to move from one side of the stage to the other but be able to use my buttons so that I can start and stop the animations at random times during playback. I fixed all my compiler errors now the problem lies in that everytime I click the start or the stop button I get an output error. I have a 3rd layer in which is titled actions and this is where all my code is posted. I removed that layer and placed my code in the first frame of the buttons layer to see if this would change anything but I still get the same output errors. So I just added back my actions layer. What could I be doing wrong? I have made sure to name all my movie clips and buttons correctly and I even added an instance name to them.
Here is my code and the errors I am getting when I press the play and stop button on test-
start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startCircle);
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopCircle);
function startCircle(e:MouseEvent):void{
    circle.play();
function stopCircle(e:MouseEvent):void{
    circle.stop();
green_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, greenCircle);
red_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, redCircle);
function greenCircle(e:MouseEvent):void{
    circle.play();
function redCircle(e:MouseEvent):void{
    circle.stop();
Here are my output errors-
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at exercise2_fla::MainTimeline/redCircle()
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at exercise2_fla::MainTimeline/greenCircle()

ok so my circle is my movie clip and it is titled circle and the instance name is circle. Am I supposed to change MovieClip to circle? I put the code at the top of my actions script but for some reason it did not work. I did change play to stop and it got the movie clip to stop when I do test movie but my buttons still do not work. So I changed stop back to play. Strange.
I did try changing MovieClip to circle but that did not work so I did Circle with a capital C and that did me no good eigther.
I meant to add that I did get an error that said- 1180 Call to a possibly undefined method circle.

How do i start a motion tween by clicking a button and stop it at the end of the tween.

Hi guys,
I am creating a website for a project and i am trying to activate a box bropping down from another box when i click on the enter here button i have created. I have set the motion tween and its working when i preview i just unsure of the correct actionscript to start this tween when i have clicked the entere here button or how to stop it at the end of the tween.
I am scared i may have made the layers in the wrong place, they are all currently in scene 1. does my second box that is dropping down need to be set inside the layers of the first box?
Bit of a newbie at this.
Thanks in advance!

Create the dropping box movieclip as an animation by itself with a stop() coomand in the first frame and a stop() command in the last frame. The click of the button should tell the movieclip to play(); at which point the animation should play and stop at the end.
Another option would be to use an actionscript Tween to make the box drop. Going that route the animation is what you code it to be and there is no need to have to stop it as it will end where you tell the Tween to end at.

Playing, Pausing, Stopping Audio in a Timeline

I don't use Flash that much so the question may sound simple, but how do I pause audio in a timeline? I have added the audio, play and stop button. When I test it works fine, but I can't figure out how to add the pause button, or the play/pause button.
Thanks.

Set the audio options on "stream" for the timeline. Then - a blank keyframe would do just fine. When you need the audio on, put it again and adjust the start point in the properties panel.

Preview: Play after Stop Restarts Disc

I'm working my way through building my first DVD. At this point everything seems to be working fine, but I've encountered one oddity that I'm not sure is a feature, a bug, or the result of a mistake I made in configuring something.
When I preview the DVD in Encore, select a chapter to play, stop playback and then hit the play button in the preview control panel again, the disc starts replaying from the beginning. In other words, hitting the play button after stopping playback acts like I've just inserted the disc into a DVD player.
What I'd like to have happen is for the play -> stop -> play sequence to continue the playback from the point where the video playback was stopped.
This appears to be the way commercial DVDs work (well, at least the one I checked ). Although the commercial discs apparently distinguish between:
stop -> play
and
stop -> stop -> play
One stop followed by a play resumes playback from where it was stopped. Two stops followed by a play restarts movie playback (not disc playback).
So how do I get Encore to provide the experience I'm looking for? Or is this just a limitation of Encore's preview panel?
- Mark

For "continued playback" in Preview, look at Preview from Here. What you are seeing is the way that the Preview Monitor works.
When you let Preview continue, through the entire process, is your navigation like you want? You can also use the End Action icon to "speed" through the Preview - watch a bit, and if OK, hit it, to go to the End Action, where you can test the next element of the navigation. Another useful icon is the Menu, allowing you to test in Preview, various navigational elements.
As Stanley says, Preview is a rudimentary emulation, and does not offer 100% accurate testing. A DVD RW, or a burned Folder on the HDD, are the best way to fully test all aspects. Each has pluses and minuses, in what will be tested, but I won't get into the boring details.
Good luck,
Hunt

My rented Video only plays halfway and stops

I rented a video, once it had completed downloading I tried watching it, it plays through half of the movie and stops. Any idea why?

Whell, it seems there is an error in your song that makes your iPod think the song is over. I`ve had such problems, and the only way to solve this is by downloading the song again, or re-record it. I do this with the KMPlayer, which is a free software, you just have to click capture, and audio.
