Problem, trying to play many sound files

hello,
I did not find a specific answer to my question in most of the archives and so I am posting here.
my problem is that I have to play a sound when mouse moves over an object and another sound when the same object is clicked.
there are many such items on the screen and so it is expected that when the mouse entered from the mouse listener is fired, the sound must play.
but what really happens is that when the mouse moves over the first object the sound plays all right. but there is no sound played when the mouse click happens.
I have properly loaded the sound files and I am sure that the code is right.
infact the major thing that has frustrated me is that if I move the mouse on an opject (an icon) the sound is properly played. and if I wait for a long time and then move the mouse on another icon the other sound is played as well. but if I move the mouse quickly from one object to another no sound is played for the second object. or if I click the mouse on an icon after a long holt even the click sound playes.
what could be the problem. why is it that sound only play when the actions are done after long haults?
is it an issue of java performance. should I try to do the sound playing stuff in different threads for each icon's mouse events?
I also tried to stop the file on the mouse exit method to make sure that there is no sound left playing.
this game is depending a lot on mouse movements with sounds and so I have to get the sounds playing at the same time mouse moves over the objects.
I use the audioClip to load my sounds with the method in the applet class.
I really don't know abt the latest java media api and will like to know if that is what I must use for my task or audioClip is ok with me.
thanks

I dont know exactly, but I dont know if applets support various files at one time.
Have your tried to do that with javax.media or with javax.sound.sampled?
Or could your post the code?

HP MediaSmart Playback Error "There are some problems trying to play the music file ..." Why?

The error message pops up for all WAV files. All the same files play fine with other software. What is wrong with the HP software?

Winston, you CAN sync without transferring the files to the Apple TV HDD.
That's not correct, although I now understand you.
Select Custom sync and choose not to transfer files.
As I say I realise what you are saying, but it is your library database file that is synced, your music is streamed.
It has worked in the past for me and it still works now, I can see all the albums on the Apple TV in 'My Music' only when I go to play a file: silence. Both on the television and on the stereo.
Have you by any chance turned the volume down on the tv.
And yes, there is a reason to disable sound output via HDMI, because there is no use to have two audio streams outputting at the same time.
Sorry I don't follow your reasoning here. We don't use the DVD player in the car, I haven't considered disabling it though.

Help playing a sound file please...

i am trying to play a sound file everytime a button is clicked. the sound will play the first time the button is clicked but wont play after that. how can i get the sound file to play everytime the button is clicked?? here's how i play the sound file...
InputStream in = new FileInputStream(sound.wav);
AudioStream as = new AudioStream(in);
// in the button action event...
AudioPlayer.player.start(as);
i tried adding this line... AudioPlayer.player.stop(as);...before the...AudioPlayer.player.start(as); -- the sound file still only plays once
any help appreciated...thanks

Hi there,
Is there a class AudioPlayer in the API or is it yours. Anyway, your class must implement AudioClip interface. Then call yourClass.play(as); You dont need to stop, each time you call play(), it restarts. Try and let me know.
cheers

Too many sound files... AS3 no worky

I've created this little program to test with. It works perfectly for 5 or less sound files/for loops. As soon as I do more then that the sounds stop working. Everything else is fine... just no sound. My plan is to have the xml file determin how many movie clips with attached sound files to create. I'm planning on having tons of movie clips and sound files once this is all finished. No luck so far
Is there a limit to how many sound files a swf can reference? Any other ideas why the sounds aren't working for me?
//load xml
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
var xmlPath:String = "data.xml";
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(xmlPath));
trace("loading xml from: " + xmlPath);
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
     trace("xml loading complete");
     xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
     //load objects
     buildScroller();
function buildScroller():void{
     var tl:MovieClip=this;
     for (var i:Number = 0; i < 5; i++){
        //create movie clips
        var container_mc:container = new container();
        addChild(container_mc);
        container_mc.x = 325 * i; // set the number here to the width of the movie clip being repeated
        //sound info
        tl["snd"+i] = new Sound();
        tl["snd"+i].load(new URLRequest(xmlData.sound.loc[i]));
        container_mc.snd = tl["snd"+i];
        container_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound, false, 0, true);
        function playSound(event:MouseEvent):void {
            event.currentTarget.snd.play();
here is the xml file that I'm using:
<DATA>
    <object_count>20</object_count>
    <sound>
        <loc>fart.mp3</loc>
        <loc>burp.mp3</loc>
        <loc>creak128.mp3</loc>
        <loc>GateOpen.mp3</loc>
        <loc>bang.mp3</loc>
        <loc>pop.mp3</loc>
        <loc>slap.mp3</loc>
    </sound>
</DATA>

Dmennenoh, pulling the playSound function out of the other functions worked perfectly! I should have known better. Even though everything is working correctly I am now recieving an error stating that "Parameter url must be non-null." I'm certain this has to do with the sound file urls that I am passing from the xml document... but if the sounds are playing the urls must be non-null already.
I tried changing the tl["snd"+i] to container_mc["snd"+i] as you suggested but the sounds would not play at that point. I recieve an error saying: "a term is undefined and has no porperties." Below is how I built it:
function buildScroller():void{
     for (var i:Number = 0; i < 55; i++){
        //create movie clips
        var container_mc:container = new container();
        addChild(container_mc);
        container_mc.x = 325 * i; // set the number here to the width of the movie clip being repeated
        //sound info
        container_mc["snd"+i] = new Sound();
        container_mc["snd"+i].load(new URLRequest(xmlData.sound.loc[i]));
        container_mc.snd = container_mc["snd"+i];
        container_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound, false, 0, true);
function playSound(event:MouseEvent):void {
     event.currentTarget.container_mc.play();

HT3775 trying to play a .mov file

I am trying to play a .mov file that I transferred to my macbook from my camera. I have tried itunes, quicktime and VLC and can not get it to play. I thought .mov was supported by quicktime, does it need to be converted?

I have come to the conclusion that my memory card is the problem. Yet we were able to transfer all the footage from the card on to my other roommates pc with no problem.
You can reformat the SD card for OSX compatibility using Disk Utility. Either format it as FAT, for universal compatibility, or Mac Os Extended for OSX only compatibility. Note that all current data on the card will be deleted once it is reformatted.

How do i play two sound file one after another

Hi All,
How do i play two sound file one after another using single AudioClip Component?.
Advance in thanks
Manivel

AudioClip gives you very little control over what happens to the sound, it also isn't capable of playing long clips or waiting until a clip ends. It will play multiple clips over top of each other.
To do what you want you should use the facilities of javax.sound. Here's a post with an example: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=513&threadID=450768
There is also a tutorial, but its example fails for long clips.

Problem with playing a sound file.

Hi,
I simply want to play a sound by a button click. I imported
<AVFoundation/AVAudioPlayer.h>. The code block is here:
In .h file:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <AVFoundation/AVAudioPlayer.h>
@interface PlaySoundViewController : UIViewController <AVAudioPlayerDelegate>
in .m file:
-(IBAction)btnPlay:(id)sender
    //Get the filename of the sound file:
    NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"REC001" ofType:@"MP3"];
    AVAudioPlayer* thePlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path] error:NULL];//error here as it will compile if I commented it (and two line after) out.
    thePlayer.delegate = self;
    [thePlayer play];
Everything looks fine but it failed when I tried to run it. Looks like it cannot find my sound file "REC001.MP3". I put it in folder ".../PlaySound/Resource Files/SoundFiles/REC001.MP3", and "PlaySound" is my project name. However the path returned is ".../PlaySound/REC001.MP3". I guess this is why it cannot find the object. But it didn't work even I put the sound file under "PlaySound" directly. Anyone has a solution?
Thanks.

Taizhi

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the reply. Based on your instruction, I checked and I can see the sound files in Build Phases. The location is ".../PlaySound/SoundFiles/REC001.MP3". I don't know why it ignores folder "Resource Files". I guess that is the way it is as I also can see other images in different folders which are shown properly in the project.
The detailed error message is here:

Bizarre problem trying to import .MTS (AVCHD) files into PSE7 Organizer

Hi
b Summary of problem:
*I recently upgraded to PSE 7 / PRE 7
*I am trying to import .MTS (AVCHD) files into the PSE7 Organizer
*I get a "...did not contain any supported file types..." error on attempted import
b HOWEVER...
*I can edit same footage in PRE7
*This footage is automatically added to the Organizer
*I can play this footage in the PSE7 organizer but generating thumbnails takes ages
*Camera: Sony HDR SR12 producing .MTS files (full 1920x1080i HD)
*PC: Intel Core i7 940 CPU, 6GB RAM, RADEON HD 4870 512MB
*OS: Vista 64 bit
b Detail:
I have recently upgraded my PRE/PSE bundle to ver 7 primarily because the new version of PRE boasts support for AVCHD.
Having installed the new software I quickly tried editing footage in PRE7 with video taken on my Sony HDR SR12 camera (footage taken in full 1920x1080i HD) and it works! Hoorah! I can now finally edit AVCHD footage in it's native format using PRE. Thank you Adobe!
But my joy was very shortlived because when I tried to import some other footage from the same batch into my PSE7 Video Catalog it wouldn't work. I got a pop up box containing the following error:
i "Nothing was imported. The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in the catalog."
Under this message is a list of the files that I tried to import. Next to each one there is a reason (it's the same reason for each clip):
i "Reason: The file is damaged or is a format that cannot be included in the Organizer."
To import files I use the following method: File / Get Photos and Videos / From Files and Folders
HOWEVER, the files that I imported directly into PRE7 in order to edit them have (surprise, surprise!) automatically been added PSE7 Organizer's Catalog. It takes a quite a while to generate a thumbnail for each clip but it does eventually do it and when it does I can play that footage in PSE7.
Just in case you're confused by this stage... If I try and manually add files to the PSE7 Organizer it doesn't work BUT if I edit that footage in PRE7 and then load the PSE7 Organizer I see the footage has been automatically added. This makes no sense whatsoever!
Am I doing something really stupid here? Why oh why will the PSE7 Organizer not import .MTS (AVCHD) files?!
NB: While searching for a solution to this problem I have, thanks to this Forum, found out about the K-Lite Codec Pack. I downloaded and installed the Basic pack v4.4.5 and now I can, at least, play my .MTS video files in Windows Media Player... I wish I had found out about that a couple of months ago because it would have saved me from buying Cyberlink PowerDVD 8!
Please someone help before I lose the plot.
Thanks
Patrick
b PC: Intel Core i7 940 CPU, 6GB RAM, RADEON HD 4870 512MB, Vista 64 bit

Hi
I'd just like to add an update to this post.
b Summary:
*K-Lite Codec Pack clashes with Sony's Picture Motion Browser (PMB) software
*Analysis of video in Sony's PMB is well worth doing!
*You can Drag and Drop clips from Sony's PMB into PRE7
b Detail:
As you've probably gathered I have now settled on using Sony's Picture Motion Browser (PMB) to Catalog all my video. Sorry Adobe to talk about someone elses product but the Adobe Organizer just can't cope with AVCHD footage no matter how you manage to import it! It's far too sluggish and my PC has an Intel Core i7 940 CPU with 6GB RAM and a 10,000 RPM HDD!
Anyway, in my first post you'll have read me raving about the K-Lite Codec Pack but sadly I've had to uninstall it because it kept on causing PMB to crash. PMB runs much smoother and quicker WITHOUT that codec pack. Something about it clashed with PMB. The once agile PMB became sluggish and unresponsive.
Having now removed the codec pack PMB is back to being agile and generaly lovely.
To view AVCHD footage outside of PMB I have reverted to using Cyberlink's PowerDVD 8 - there's always a pregnant pause between double-clicking on the clip and it playing but that's the only drawback.
If you are going to use Sony's PMB for cataloging your video collection (and I recommend you do so BUT only if you have AVCHD footage - otherwise stick to Adobe's Organiser) then I can fully recommend "Analyzing" all of your footage. This takes time and a bit of patience because it kept stopping for no apparent reason but would readily start up again (without having to do anything else) BUT once it's done it'll reward you with the following:
*Filter on any combination of Scenery, People, Smiles - e.g. with a click of a button you can isolate footage that contains smiles, etc
*Face Search - if you select some or all of the footage in the right-hand pane it will then put a small thumbnail for all of the different faces in that selected footage in the bottom "Face Search" pane. If you then click on one of those thumbnails it will jump to the clip(s) that contain that face and grey out all the other clips
*Expand Videos - This tool is brilliant! In normal viewing mode you get a thumbnail of the video whether you're in Folder view, Calender view or Detail List view. If, however, you select "Expand Videos" from the tool bar it will show you a series of frames contained within that clip. You can choose from "Highlights" or various regular intervals (5 secs, 10 sec, 30 sec, 1 min, etc). The Highlights option does a pretty good job of picking out the significant changes within the clip
Lastly, I have discovered that you can drag a clip from Sony's PMB into PRE7. It won't let you put it directly onto the Timeline but it will let you drop it into the Project file list (found under the Edit tab).
I do hope that this info has helped others like me who are trying to get to grips with editing and cataloging AVCHD footage.

card and attach the SWF file (imbed it in the MS Word file (the

only doubleclick on the SWF icon in the MS word and play it.
How can I attach the the .SWF in the MS Word file so it play

Yes, I have an idea. The Media Manager video streaming is nowhere near ready for prime-time and should not have been released in its current buggy version.
I've had it through beta testing and it has NEVER consistently imported and subsequently played many of my videos, despite being in a supported format. I don't see any progress being made on this, but they released it anyways.

Playing mp4 sound files

I am trying to make my code play a sound when a button is pressed.
At the moment I am using the play sound file block, but this block only accepts files in a .WAV format.
I am creating this program for someone who is not great with computers. Their easiest way to record sounds to be played saves them in an MP4 format.
Having to make them convert the files to .WAV would be very difficult and frustraiting for them.
What I am asking is if there is a way to play a MP4 file in labview, or a way to programatically convert a MP4 file into a .WAV file for the play sound file block.
Thanks for your time.

This might work.

Play multiple sound files in different frames from library in flash

My assessment task for college is to create a webpage of my work. So far it runs brilliantly except for this. I only need this to be working in like 2 days! Help!
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Carolyns_Media_Portfolio_Scene1_fla::MainTimeline/frame5()
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()
Trying to be able to play sound clips from the library with the option to play and stop the sound file. Each sound has its own frame, with stop and play buttons. I can run the first sound file perfectly being able to start and stop it but when trying to play the next sound it creates the above error on output. I have dead buttons as well on the second sound.
The top buttons take you to each scene
The script runs from frame 5.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
**buTrivia.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickListener7);
function clickListener7(event:MouseEvent):void {
SoundMixer.stopAll()
gotoAndStop("trivia");
buToyRA.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickListener8);
function clickListener8(event:MouseEvent):void {
SoundMixer.stopAll()
gotoAndStop("toyminatorRA");
buCaroline.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickListener9);
function clickListener9(event:MouseEvent):void {
SoundMixer.stopAll()
gotoAndStop("caroline");
buServerDown.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickListener10);
function clickListener10(event:MouseEvent):void {
SoundMixer.stopAll()
gotoAndStop("serverdown");
This was the script I found and edited. Only Trivia works
stop();
var triviaSound:trivia = new trivia()
var triviaChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
buplay1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound1);
buStop1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopSound1)
function playSound1(event:MouseEvent):void
triviaSound.play();
function stopSound1(event:MouseEvent):void
SoundMixer.stopAll()
gotoAndStop("trivia");
/*buplay2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound2);
bustop2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopSound2)
var toysSound:toys = new toys();
var toysChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
function playSound2(event:MouseEvent):void
toysSound.play();
function stopSound2(event:MouseEvent):void
SoundMixer.stopAll()
gotoAndStop("toyminatorRA");
Basically I want to play all the sounds, from the library, individually in different frames using the option to play and stop that sound. I found the above script but only works for one sound. I am new at scripting in flash so any help or even a better script option would be awesome. Thank you

The 1009 error indicates that one of the objects being targeted by your code is out of scope. This could mean that the object....
- is declared but not instantiated
- doesn't have an instance name (or the instance name is mispelled)
- does not exist in the frame where that code is trying to talk to it
- is animated into place but is not assigned instance names in every keyframe for it
- is one of two or more consecutive keyframes of the same objects with no name assigned in the preceding frame(s).
If you go into your Publish Settings Flash section and select the option to Permit debugging, your error message should have a line number following the frame number which will help you isolate which object is involved.

and there is n't read_sound_file in help of 10g
is there any compatability with this instruction in forms 10g
or how can i use sound file in 10g
is it with webUtil ( i' ve configured it correctly )
*or with java beans _ plz help me with it _*
Thanks _ waiting for u answers _ plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Mail app no longer plays QuickTime sound files.

Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, I was able to play sound files attached to mail within the app.
In other words, if someone sent me a sound file, it would appear as a QuickTime sound within the body of the email and I could play it.
That was a very nice feature.
Now sound files will not play within the mail window. Instead, I need an external player such as QuickTime Player or iTunes.
How can I get that feature back?

What specific sound file types will not play as Mail attachments in Mountain Lion?
I just sent an .m4r (ringtone), mp3, and .m4a (iTunes aac music) files as Mail attachments. The first appeared as an icon that played via QuickLook from within Mail. The second two appeared as black, QuickTime styled, embedded music play bar attachments. They played back flawlessly.
Have you installed any application recently that may have hi-jacked the default QuickTime audio playback? It would have done so silently, or popped up a dialog requesting to perform the hi-jack on a list of music file formats.
You may have to select each particular audio file format in Finder Get Info and restore QuickTime in the Open with section on that panel.
