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.

Using default CS5 skin, play/pause & stop buttons disabled until going fullscreen

We are using default CS5 skins with an flvplayback component built through action script 3. When playing certain videos (and only certain videos, however there isn't yet a pattern), the play/pause, stop & seek buttons are completely unresponsive. They don't change stats on hover & they are unclickable.
However, the fullscreen button does always work, and upon going fullscreen and coming back out, the buttons now work again.
I really have no idea what is going on here, it seems rather random. So far, the problem was seemingly at its worst displaying a video that was encoded with Sorenson spark (an older codec) and we wondered if it had to do with the file itself, the headers, anything of that sort. But the fact that the skin and buttons work fine once entering and exiting fullscreen - that is perplexing.

Just an update, but the following line:
my_FLVPlybk.scaleMode = "noScale";
Has something to do with the issue. When we include this line (which tells the player to resize to the size of the given FLV), we get the problem with the buttons not working. If we take the line out, we do not see that problem.

Is it possible to change the link to the WMP of the Play/Pause/Stop buttons

Is it possible to change the link to the WMP of the Play/Pause and Stop Button?
Because by software only the Network and Media Buttons are changable.
And I don't prefer WMP to be my favorite media player.

I used to have this problem too. When pressing +play/pause+ button on my +Satellite+ always wmp start. I used RM-X media to configure media keys, or Global Hotkeys in Winamp to solve this problem, but in case of +play/pause+ it was still the same. I found simple solution how to use this key in Winamp - assaying Winamp as default media player in Control panel/Add remove programs. And then in specific application edit file associations.

When playing video stops, audio don't continue

Before, when video was shorter than audio, audio was played in totallity.
After the last update of Final Cut studio (DSP4), when video stops, playing audio terminates !
An idea ?
F. DELTEIL

Is this is a menu or a track?
Either way it is usually a good idea to make sure the audio is the same length as the video (or the audio is the size of the video menu running time)

Perhaps there is something in this article that might help:
[Some of the keys on my keyboard don't work|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300547]
If there is no soulution in the article, try the genius bar if it's under warranty or an authorized repair location can probably give you a quote if it's not. You could even try an external keyboard.
Good luck.

Satellite E100-004 - Can I disable media buttons like mute, play pause

My laptop is the Toshiba Satellite E100-004.
is there a way do disable The multimedia Touch Panel (Media Buttons on top of keyboard - mute-media-play/pause-stop-rewind-forward-) ?
thanx

Hello
Please don't be mad on my but I don't understand your question. These buttons are by default set to run with preinstalled Windows media player. If you don't like them simply don't touch them.
I just know that you can change settings for browser and multimedia button and define which application should be open with these buttons.
Anyway such option is not known to me.
Why you want to disable these buttons?

Pause/stop a youtube video

It seems this question has been asked before with no definitive solution, so I thought I'd try my luck.
Here's how the video is embedded on compositionReady:
var youtubevid = $("<iframe/>");
sym.getSymbol("intro2").$("videoContainer").append(youtubevid);
youtubevid.attr('type','text/html');
youtubevid.attr('width','387');
youtubevid.attr('height','218');
youtubevid.attr('src','http://www.youtube.com/embed/qHxn1_2KfCU?enablejsapi=1'); // url/Video_Id
youtubevid.attr('frameborder','0'); // 1 | 0
youtubevid.attr('allowfullscreen','0'); // 1 | 0
I understand that in order to play/pause/stop a youtube video, you have to go through the API:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference#Functions
It looks like the function I would want to use here is:
player.pauseVideo();
So here are the two methods I've tried with no success:
youtubevid.pauseVideo();
sym.getSymbol("intro2").$("videoContainer").youtubevid.pauseVideo();
Any suggestions? Thank you.

I figured out how to reset the Youtube video upon hiding thanks to FigFrance's contribution to the thread found here:
https://forums.adobe.com/message/4979969#4979969
The secret was adding .empty() to my video container. Here is my functioning button code:
Show Video:
//code to embed youtube into symbol
var youtube = $("<iframe/>");
sym.$("video").empty().append(youtube);
youtube.attr('type', 'text/html');
youtube.attr('width', '640');
youtube.attr('height', '360');
youtube.attr('src', 'https://www.youtube.com/embed/MyFv6UKsW70?rel=0');
youtube.attr('frameborder', '1');
youtube.attr('allowfullscreen', '0');
// Show an element
sym.$("video").show();
Hide Video:
sym.$("video").empty();
// Hide an element
sym.$("video").hide();

Next / Previous media keys don't work on 3rd Party Keyboard, Play/Pause does work. [MAC]

Hello!
So I am using a Logitech G710+ keyboard with my Mac (running 10.9) , and the media keys (Play/Pause, Stop, Next and Previous) work perfectly fine with iTunes, even in background.
Now, when I use Spotify, I usually quit iTunes (to stop conflicts), but only the Play/Pause key seems to work.
It does work in the background, which is good, but crucially the Next / Previous keys don't work at all.
Any ideas?

So I have the exact same issue as everyone else here. I have a Logitech K750 wireless keyboard running Yosemite on my MBP. I don't necissarily think this issue resides with Spotify, but instead with Logitech. If I use the media keys on my MBP I am capable of using Next/Previous even when Spotify is in the background. On the wireless keyboard only Play/Pause and the Volume buttons work. I think the issue is with the key mapping with the Logitech. Then again, I don't know how the code is written. Maybe Spotify missed an alternative key map for the media buttons. I didn't write the code.... The logitech forum is a ghost town for this issue though. Only post I found was 5 years old. EDIT: With further reasearch I DO believe the problem lies with Spotify. A tech for Logitech explained to me that Spotify wrote some "interesting" code for the keymap functionality for its Mac client. A quick Google search shows that it is not only Logitechs experiencing this issue. It would be great if we could get someone to look into this. It isn't critical, but it sure would be nice to get fixed.

Custom booleans - play, pause, fast forward, etc

I thought this would be an easy one, but my searches haven't yielded any results yet. Does anyone know of a collection of custom Boolean images? I need to implement a playback feature in a program and would like buttons that look like Play, Pause, Stop, Rewind, Fast Forward, etc, such as on a CD player.
Thanks,
Dave

There are 10 kinds of people: those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Under Windows, I would use regular text with some special Fonts. The attached booleans use "Wingdings" and "Wingdings 3" with single characters. (use charmap to pick the right symbol). I would think that virtually all modern windows boxes have these fonts available.

Pause/Play Wav Files Not working with timeline

OK, I'm going crazy here. I have imported a WAV file into my
Flash timeline. I have a button that pauses the timeline, and also
stops all sound. But... when I click on the play button to continue
the movie, the sound is no longer present. It's as if the timeline
only recognizes the first frame of audio, even within the source
file if I put the cursor anywhere besides the first frame of audio,
it does not play.
Any help desperately needed

I almost have you. The code provided, I guess I would put
that on the frame where I redrop my wave file (that I did all the
link changes to as described).
Also, in conjunction with the code provided, do I need to
also put codes in for my buttons, or will that script you provided
take place of such.
Also, the code you provided, am I to put my own information
in there, or is it set to go as is.
I will only have a play button and a stop button. Just a
simple a play and stop action for each. Also, I didn't give an
instance name for each button, just default as is.
Almost there! I'm excited, thanks for help and hopefully more
help!

Play "paused" video from point it was stopped?

Successfully created PAUSE button that stops my animation and pauses my audio. And my PLAY button restarts my audio, but I can't figure out how to make it start my animation from whatever point it was stopped. It just restarts from the beginning.
Designer here - very rudimentary code knowledge. Speak slowly and use small words.

You can read the positon on the timeline using the getposition api on pause and store it in a variable on pause button click.
Than on clicking play button again read the position variable value stored on video pause ,call sym.play(postion) to play from the location previously paused.
You may have to tweak this solution based on your animation design.

Why does my playhead return to the initial position when pausing/stopping playback after playing from beginning?

How do I prevent the playhead from returning to it's original position after pausing or stopping with the spacebar or k button? With either the skimmer on or off, whenever I pause or stop the **** playhead will always return to the position it was last at. I don't understand why neither of the shortcuts would just stop the playhead at the point that is being played at. This may seem like an extremely edgy way to go about editing, but I might actually wish to pause the playhead at any given moment and position my playhead nearby said moment before creating an edit point (without having to add a marker and return to it with the blade tool, or take note of the specific duration and use the duration control to go to that specific point or any other unnecessary steps when doing a rough cut). I simply would like the playhead to pause/stop at the moment I press either keyboard shortcut. After the many attempts at trying to make FCP X work for me and the many "workarounds" by FCPX enthusiasts, it's disheartening to know that most other editors in my circle who make a living doing paid commercial work are wondering why I've decided to take a break from using CS6 (and it's integration with the industry-standard AE) to give FCP X a shot, all to make very simple tasks like the one aforementioned a mystery... any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your response Luis and for your previous help (regarding multiple selections being added to the timeline in reverse order when working in list view in the event browser).
Yes i've trashed my preferences, but I should be more specific as to what I am actually doing. Because I am working from my macbook pro and do not have a "home button" which was the original shortcut to "play from/go to beginning" and because I did not like the replacement shortcut in FCP X to play from beginning (without a home button it was something like Function + Shift something else on a laptop) I became used to Adobe Premiere CS6 and made the return key my "play from beginning" shortcut. It was available and did not have a use by itself (only to confirm changes/choices), did not effect it's use in conjunction with other shorctus so I choose enter as my "play from/go to beginning"...
So when I play from the beginning and attempt to pause or stop the playhead, regardless of how I choose to do it (spacebar or k) it does not stop at that specific instance and always returns to where it previously was. This seems very confusing and inconvenient, I would hope at least one of these shortcuts would actually stop the playhead where it was at that moment where I press stop or pause. It's extremely frustrating knowing that I cannot pause the playhead where it's playing if I choose my "play from beginning" shortcut.
Also since you seem to be a guru and an expert, i'd like to know if you cut with FCPX on a laptop and what shortcut you use whenever you'd like the playhead to go to the beginning of the timeline, end, etc since there are no "home" or "end" buttons on a laptop....
Thanks a million, talk soon...

Safari not playing live audio when tapping the play pause key in IO5

Hi. I just upgraded Ipad 2 to IO5 and now when using Safari to play "listen live" audio from various websites the play/pause button only works one out of 15 taps; I have to tap the reload icon to get it to start and stop...any suggestions? Thanks, Steve

Tap Settings > Safari
Then tap Clear History then tap Clear Cookies and Data
Then restart the iPad.

IPod 5.5G Video, 30GB, No Sound Audio, Play/Pause Won't Shut Down, etc.

Even though I have marked this topic as a question, it is more of a heads up for those having problems with Sound and Audio on the 5th Gen (Video) iPods.
I was having audio problems like many others are describing and took it upon myself to look into the cause. I found that there is a problem with a flat ribbon cable that connects to the main board of the iPod. The issue is that there are very thin, gold plated traces of copper on a somewhat thin plastic backing which fits into a ZIF (i.e. Zero-Insertion-Force) connector.
At issue is the amount of bending of the plastic cable when a clip on this ZIF connector is 'locked'. It seems that on some of these plastic ribbon cables, these small gold plated copper traces will crack and break, causing sound to come only from one channel or the other, or for scratchy sound, and even possible problems with the Hold switch. (I removed my Hold/Headphone Jack cable assembly and confirmed this under a microscope.)
I don't know if the cracking is immediate upon the connector being locked, or if there is some length of time before cracking will occur. I also cannot say if this is truly a problem with the ZIF connector force, or the copper on the ribbon cable. There are different problems if the copper is too thin or too thick. Other problems can cause the copper to break, have problems adhering to the plastic 'ribbon', etc.
Since this cable not only includes Left/Right Audio, but the Hold switch, units with this problem may not only have audio problems, but apparently have problem with the Hold switch not functioning properly and issues with Holding down the Play/Pause part of the Click-Wheel to power down an iPod. Another issue appears to be that the 'Clicking' noise of the Click-Wheel either becomes quiet or disappears altogether.
Ok, here's the question part...
Apple, do you have any knowledge of this issue? Is it systemic, or just several isolated units? Since the 5.5G is not in production, is it out of the question to hope to get a discounted repair or replacement part? What would your typical response be?
(Note: I had an AppleCare contract that apparently doesn't run out until October of this year, but because I took it upon myself to open the unit I understand that this is now voided.)
At this point I am thinking of buying a replacement Hold/Audio ribbon cable to install myself, but am very concerned that the part I purchase may also have these issues.
Sincerely,
Nobuo

After all my worry, concern, and consternation, I took my own advice and went to see the Genius Bar at the local Apple store this afternoon on my way home from work, just to see if they knew about this issue. At least I was expecting they would tell me I was out of luck for opening the iPod, at most I thought they would take it in for service and then let me know they found I had opened it and that I'd have to either pay for service, buy a new one, or that they'd simply be returning it as is. Instead they offered to replace my iPod.
I don't know if this was because I was starting to make other customers nervous (talking loud is a habit when I get anxious), and they said they don't work in individual parts like the flex ribbon cable which I told them in detail was defective - I even mentioned that I had tried to fix it by applying solder to fill in the breaks in the gold traces. But after 20 minutes of them listening to me and continually offering to exchange the iPod (not one, but two Genius' at the Genius Bar were offering me an exchange) - I gave in.
I have to say parting with it was a bit of an emotional thing - I still had all my podcasts, songs, photos, etc, on the iPod (I would have wiped it, but I really didn't expect much - I don't know what I was expecting). Maybe I was thinking of all the Smart Playlists I would loose (again), and have to recreate (again), or maybe it wasn't wanting to part with it because I figured it would be my mod-ing unit (I had seen what some did to add 32GB Compact Flash to their iPods and was tempted to do this myself). It was a very lonely 30 min drive back home.
I am still a bit gob-smacked with a 'New' 5.5Gen Video iPod. Part of me wants to thank Apple, and part of me wants to cry at loosing an old friend. (And I am sure there is a part that is sad that it wasn't me that fixed it.) I was also pretty well put in my place by the Genius when she said not to open the replacement. (If you've ever seen those TV shows where the actor becomes smaller and smaller when being scolded, that was me in the store.)
The moral of my story is - *do not hesitate to take your product to Apple if you think it needs to be fixed!* It all definitely made me feel like Apple employees really do understand the value of 'Customer Service', even when the customer isn't always right. I hope others will learn from my mistakes.
Sincerely,
Nobuo
