Sound controls for someone new to Flash

I'm making a simple soundboard using different clips of a
friend. I have all the buttons created and linked to the various
clips. I also have them setup so that the sound plays when the
object is clicked. My question is, how do i control the sounds so
that if one clip is playing and I click on another one, the first
sound stops and the newly clicked one plays?
Please be descriptive, I'm very new to Flash
Oh, almost made a noob mistake and forgot to mention I'm
using CS3.

are you using AS2 or AS3?
under 2 use:
stopAllSounds();
under 3 use:
SoundMixer.stopAll();

Should we really go for bean data controls for a new project?

Hi,
I am still new data controls and trying to figure out the advantages of using bean data controls for our new project. Our UI is going to have customized UI components and our back end is going to be a tcp/ip server.
Is it a good idea to develop java beans and then create data controls to bind to UI layer? I think it makes sense to use data controls if we want to use existing java beans. Maybe we would be separating the model layer by using data controls, but only thing it would be doing for us would be the simple object calls to my java beans. Would it be better to use data controls or use I choose to make object calls?
Thanks,
Manoj

Hi,
the POJO data control will always give you a benefit and develope productivity, unless what you have to build fits on a single page - in which case you may not mind the burdon of manual UI component binding

Can not find sound controls for Satellite A80?

Hi, Im a very new user of a satellite A80, it only 4 days old, I played a cd and couldnt find any graphic equalizer or sound controls. I did get into the Toshiba assist area, but it wouldnt allow me to change the bass and treble, can anyone help me with this.
The cd automatically plays in window media player, is there a special program already installed on the hard drive for CD's, or is window media player what I should use?
thanks in advance,
deb

Hi Deb,
You don't say which version of Windows Media Player you have. However, there will be a Graphic Equalizer option somewhere but it may be well hidden.
I would recommend downloading the latest version from the Microsoft website.
On WMP V9 the Graphic Equalizer is accessed by clicking on a small window icon at the bottom left corner of the screen (if you hover the pointer over it is called 'Select Now Playing Options')this gives a pulldown menu on which the third item is called ENHANCEMENTS. This will expand to show the Graphic Equalizer.
You can, of course, use other software to play CDs. If you right click on the CD-ROM item in your My Computer
you will be able to set which programme you wish to use to play CDs.

Aja Kona Lhi - Sound Control for MacOs

Hi Everyone,
We have Final Cut Pro - Aja Kona Lhi - MAudio Bx5 - Mac Pro system. We are use the Aja Kona Lhi Analog Audio Out 1-2 for MAudio speakers. I want control the sound volume on the keyboard or macpro. Its possible ? If its possible how can we do it ?
Best Regards.
Thank you.

The ADVC 300 is more like $400.
Another option is the Matrox MXO2 mini.
For straight DV/ Standard def capture the ADVC 300 does a better job.
However, the Matrox box also gives you the ability to send an HD signal to an external monitor - which the ADVC300 will not do.

Sound Mix for Short News Feature

Hi , I'm a news video editor and i would like to share my difficulties to make a proper sound mix under a very short time delay.
I usually mix three different sound source , 1. The press agencies videos 2. the journalist Voice Narration 3.optional Music and some sound effects.
The all need to be mixed to around -12db . I don't feel at ease using the Dynamic as i don't know to use it properly.
Manytimes my mix is either with not enough sounds to make it lovely or with too loud music to make the voice narration easily understandable
does someone got agood plan to deal with a mix under a very short time ?
any miracle plan ?
Please share ..

Experimentation and experience are the best solutions, I think.

Suggestion for a new macbookair flash storage capacity for dual OS

I'm planning to buy my first MBA. I'll work using logic pro and office for mac. But I also have one app that need run on win7. This app size is max 200mb.
To keep my final working file, I plan to buy external storage.
My question, looking at my work needs, pls advise what is the ideal flash storage size I should pick ? Is it 128, 256 or 512Gb ? Ideal for me means, not overcapacity flash storage.
Tx all

Hi Dikanug,
Out of interest, so I can further select the best capacity of Flash Storage, how many document do you plan to save on the computer using Office and how often are you going to use Logic Pro?
This will help determine the best capacity.
Obviously the Logic Pro files will need to stay on the Mac however it is probably cheeper to have a Small Flash Storage and store any file that does not need to be on the actually Macintosh Drive, stored on a large external Hard Drive with files such as Office files.
Obviously the Logic Pro files will be anywhere from 10mb -up and therefore this will be needed to be taken into consideration when purchasing the Flash.
Just for your sake: 14 tracks of audio, 10 of which are drums and a song that is about 5 minutes long, could be at least 25mb in file capacity.
Remember once you have bought the device you cannot make the capacity bigger and thereofre it is better to have more than not enough however do not waste your money if you do not need it.

Cheapest option for someone new to mac wanting to use xcode and try develop

Hi
Apologies if this is in wrong location but couldnt find a general section
I havent used mac before, looking to find cheapest option to get in to the mac World and try my hand with xcode / develop the likes of an app for iphone for fun
Had found a imac5 1 but when I researched further it would appear that I might not be able to use this for latest version of xcode and therefore wouldnt suit my need. Shame as I think I could have got it for €300
Am I correct - in that its not suitable?
Any suggestions on what else would be suitable or where I could start?
I couldnt afford to spend €1,000 or more on a new mac whether it was desktop or laptop etc.
I want to get something thats useable (not from the dark ages) but realise that I may have to go back at least a few years thus the reason I was looking at the imac5,1
Thanks for your time. Any help advise etc would be appreciated.

The latest XCode requires OSX Lion. That requires:
Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of RAM
Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later with the Mac App Store installed
At least 4GB of additional disk space to accommodate the download, but more is obviously recommended
Thus, assuming that whan you said imac5 you were referring to an iMac with an Power PC G5 processor you are right i that that is not compatible.
There are some Mac with an Intel Core sSolo and just Intel Core Duo processor that will not work with the latest XCode.
I would look for a Mac Mini 2007 or later since those meed the XCode requirements

Mail sound settings set to None but still receive notification sound for all new mail

My sound settings for new mail are set to Alert Tones: None, Vibrate Only, but I still receive a sound notification for all new mail. Why is my phone not recognizing the setting? I have turned off and back on the phone numerous times hoping that would help, but it has not. How can I make the phone recognize the settings that I have purposefully set?

afhammerC,
So I understand: you have friends whose iPhone 4S's do vibrate when mail is received in silent mode, and no sounds are selected for new mail, but vibrate is selected for silent mode?
Just want to be clear.
My wife has an iPhone 4S 16gb, and it appears she has the same problem as well.
As an aside to the issue, I really wish there was a way to have a timer on the notification center so we could put one, many, or all apps' notfication to sleep during a specific time period (say, during the night). V. annoying to have to disable notifications separately. Would love a way to turn them off between, say, midnight at 6am.

Can someone recommend me a good creative sound card for listening to music

Hi all,
I am thinking to buy a Creative sound card for my new PC.
I have browsed the Creative web site but found out that there are just too many options for me to choose from, like X-FI, e-MuRecon3D Fatal1ty Champion, Recon3D PCIe, E-MU 1212M PCIe.
I have no idea which one is the best for me since I like listening to music.
Please give me some advice.
Thanks
Kitty.

It's ultimately going to depend on how particular you are, and what output you're going to be using.
Arguably the X-Fi Titanium HD will give the clearest output of the whole lot. A measurable 122dB SNR means you'll basically have to turn it up to the threshold of pain before you'll hear any noise produced by the card itself. That doesn't mean there won't be any noise at all in the output - just that the card realistically won't add any that didn't already exist in the source material. Further to this, when run in Entertainment mode you'll also have access to the THX enhancements over the standard Creative ones, which I personally find to be substantially better in actual listening. The EMI shield and changeable op-amps are just gravy.
Of course, there's always fine print. The 122dB SNR only applies to the front outputs, for example. That's not to say the rest aren't very good - they're rated at between 115dB and 118dB - just that they aren't as good. Odds are you won't really care but its still worth mentioning. The other major limitation (in my opinion) is the absence of a good headphone pre-amplifier, but that may or may not be a non-issue depending on whether you use headphones or already have an external one (or, like me, you feel inclined to make your own to solve that limitation).
The other good option would be the Recon3D. I wouldn't bother going with any of the upper market ones for music (or for any reason, for that matter) unless the front drive bay or directional microphone are of any particular importance to you (NB I bought the Fatal1ty Champion edition - still not entirely sure why). An argument could be made for the EMI shield, but with so few components on the board it probably isn't stopping a whole heap of noise anyway over the miniature "shield" on the SPU itself. When compared in raw specs to the Titanium HD, at a glance it would appear to be vastly inferior - 102dB SNR ratio (albeit constant across all outputs) is quite a bit lower, after all.
However, it's important to keep in mind exactly what that means. 102dB SNR still means you'll have to turn the volume up quite a bit to get any extra noise added to your output. You're talking around the volume of a power saw at a little over 3 feet, so realistically it's quite loud - and it's over the level which is generally considered to cause hearing loss with sustained exposure (95dB). You also have to remember that this doesn't apply to the S/PDIF outputs (nor does the HD's 122dB) since they're entirely at the mercy of whatever decoder you're using, so if you're using that output than the extra expense of the HD is pretty much entirely wasted. And, as a major plus, all Recon3D cards have what seems to be a pretty decent headphone pre-amp, which makes a very appreciable difference in listening, as well as supporting the various THX enhancements.
The short version:
- If you're listening mostly via stereo analogue speakers, get the Titanium HD.
- If you're listening mostly via headphones, get the Recon3D (I personally think the pre-amp is better than the higher SNR).
- If you're listening mostly via S/PDIF to an external amp, it doesn't matter (but get the Recon3D because it's cheaper).

Recommended sound card for Oracle Redhat Linux 64 bit?

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to install the latest Oracle Redhat 5.
64 bit. On a certified Asus motherboard.
It will be a dual boot windows/Linux machine.
And I'm having an awful time with the sound card for my new server.
(It will be used for learning, at home. It's important to
have sound for some instructional videos that I will also watch.)
Other installs, sound has installed and worked fine.
I believe it's partially because the sound came directly off
the motherboard in those cases.
But with this new server, it came with a sound card, no onboard.
The sound card works with windows. But not with Linux.
I've been swapping three sound cards in and out, trying to get
one to work. Each has some partial success, but none meet all
of the requirements (below).
What is really frustrating is that I want the sound to go
to the green headphone jack on the front of the computer case.
To do this, there is a cable that connects the sound card, to
the front of the chassis.
The existing sound card that I have, has a connector for this.
It is an "HD audio", or an AC 97 connector. There two rows of
five pins, with one pin blocked up, so that the connector is
inserted in the correct manner. The cord is hard wired to the case.
You can see some images of the pins and the cords here:

http://www.e4allupgraders.info/dir1/ecase/support/front_panel_support.shtml
http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=27289176
You would figure that whether the connector existed or not would be a standard
feature that would be listed for sound cards. But it's rare to find it listed anywhere.
When I went to the computer store, I had to open all the boxes to see if it
was there or not!!!! Manufacturers, this is not that difficult!!
At this point, after a couple of days of struggle, I just want to buy a
simple sound card that works right out of the box.
Here are the requirements:
- gets instantly recognized by Linux (Oracle Redhat 5) 64 bit, and plays sound
with the standard Linux drivers. I believe I have all of the drivers installed,
because a few cards do play with them automatically. During installation, I
installed Every package available.
- no installation of special Linux drivers required.
- the other big requirment is that the card have output to an HD Audio,
or AC 97 connector, and will play music through the headphone jack.
(Believe it or not, I have one card that works fine out the back,
but won't work through the HD Audio. But it works fine in Windows)
- will also work with Windows 64 bit.
Does anyone have any good sound card recommendations that will meet all these requirements?
Thanks a lot!

Almost a year later... what have you been listening too? :-)
I have to admit that I'm not an expert for "sound" under Linux. I think you may find http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page interesting. It also shows which sound cards are compatible.

"the activex control for flash player could not be registered" - Solutions Roundup

I recently ran into this problem on my computer:
http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems2.jpg
I am a Flash developer (as in I write SWFs, I don't work for Adobe). and when I updated IE to 10.2, "the activex control for flash player could not be registered". Since I am a developer, I also have Firefox and Chrome installed, with Flash running without problems. For a long time now, Internet Explorer has used a different version (ActiveX) to the other browsers, which use plugins. I am a strong supporter of Flash, it's great to develop with and has a very wide feature set which is growing all the time, unlike fixed technologies/standards. However, the weakest part is the install process - I don't understand why their is a Download Manager. Google Chrome does it's best (so far) by managing the install/update process entirely in the background. Anyway, it was in my best interest to try and get to the bottom of this.
For the record, on the problem machine I have Windows 7 with IE8, but I have seen almost identical symptoms with IE9, Windows XP SP3, as well as various iterations of Flash Player (10.0, 10.1, 10.2 and even some final editions of version 9).
First I tried the standard support here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
Basically, doing the manual uninstall and manual install of the latest version (without using the download manager, or have IE open). This did not work. I also tried the Microsoft "subinacl" program, together with "reset_fp10.bat". This didn't work either. However, you should try all of these things first before progressing further.
A quick note about people who had tried running the following at a command prompt: "secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose"
I didn't do this, because on investigating further it didn't seem to work with Windows 7, only Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 - though there was a few threads where this had fixed the problem for some users.
For my solution, it is recommended you use the manual uninstall / installers, so you should have them downloaded ready to use.
I then heard about problems with permissions in the registry with the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
So I opened regedit.exe (start - run - typed "regedit.exe"), navigated to the key and sure enough, I couldn't open it - permission denied - even though I had an administrator account. If for some reason, you can access this key (and any subkeys), then it's likely the following fix will not resolve the problem.
I then done further diagnosis, by using Process Monitor to try and install Flash Player, and I got the following:
http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems.gif
This shows all the access denied errors the Flash Player install was experiencing when trying to write to the registry key. This confirmed that this was the problem. I only stress this because several people said it was unwise to tinker with the registry. Though this is common advice, this is the only known fix for this precise problem at present, since you need to manually adjust the permissions yourself. I don't know who is at fault here - Microsoft or Adobe - but let's just get Flash fixed...
The solution:
Firstly, you may want to backup your registry, or the exact key. I didn't do this so I've provided no instructions on how to, but it is recommended for the paranoid. Also make sure as much software is closed down as possible - browsers, IM software, any junk in your system tray. As way of example, I happened to have "BBC iPlayer" installed and running in the background which uses Adobe AIR and Flash Player, so I exited that too.
1) Open regedit (start - run - type "regedit.exe"). You may need to right click on it and select "Run As Administrator", but I didn't as my account was already administrator.
2) Navigate to the key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
Click on it to confirm that you cannot access it (you will get an error) - if their are no problems - this probably isn't the cause of your issues.
3) Right click on it and click Permissions, and ignore any message that may pop up.
4) Under "Group or Usernames" click "Add". Type your account name name, or "Administrators" in the box, then "Check Names" to format it correctly, then Ok.
5) Now on the next screen click the checkbox to enable Full Control (this will also automatically enable "Read" permission too).
6) Click Advanced, then the "Owner" tab at the top. You will see that their is no "Current Owner". This is what we will now fix.
7) Click on your name to change the owner to (I went for Administrators). Also enable the checkbox entitled "Replace Owner on subcontainers and objects". Then click Ok. You will get an error message, which you can try clicking Retry to, but hit Cancel - this is not a problem.
8) Click Ok a couple of times and this part of your registry is now fixed.
9) Now it's a simple case of running the manual Flash uninstall program, then finally the manual Flash installer (for Active X - not the Firefox/Chrome plugin versions). To my surprise, after a couple of days looking into this - I finally had a solution and Flash in IE once more. If you are using Firefox too you may find Flash is no longer installed their (the uninstaller removed it). In this case just install via the Adobe site or try to watch a video on You Tube and you will be prompted or linked to the install.
Hope this provides a good round up of the possible solutions to this problem. Hopefully Microsoft or Adobe can find out what causes this issue in the first place so we don't have to go down this route for much longer. Chrome's implementation of Flash shows how effortlessly things can work!

They will stay on the screen. However, Process Monitor is only intended for advanced users. It is recommended that users try to navigate to the troublesome registry key using regedit, and see if they can access it or not without an error. This is far easier than trying to use Process Monitor, which is very complicated.
I used Process Monitor to confirm that it was just that key which was causing the problem, and not others. Process Monitor is not to be confused with the new Resource Monitor which is accessible via Task Manager in Windows 7 (and possibly Vista). If you must experiment (and Process Monitor is very useful for diagnosing many deep-level problems if you know what you're looking for) Process Monitor can be downloaded from here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
It replaces the older Sysinternals "FileMon" and "RegMon". For those interested in the technical side, I had to setup a number of filters to be able to get the results display as in the screenshot. First of all to just show Registry events. Then to just show events from the manual Flash activeX installer executable. The I added a filter to show only non-successfull results. And finally, for the purposes of the screenshot, added a filter to just show those with "Access Denied", since other non-critical errors are also picked up due to missing keys because installation has not yet been fully completed I guess. When experimenting, most of these filters were applied using the "is not" boolean logic, which will make sense if you experiment with the program.
Without adding any filters, it picks up so many events (hundreds per second) that it's otherwise unusable. e.g. 40,000 events within the first few seconds of opening the program. For this reason, I recommend simply using Regedit to diagnose the problem with the particular Flash registry key.

ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered - no solutions work

I am getting the "ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered" when I try to install 11 on IE9 (Windows 7 64-bit). I have tried everything that has been suggested in other posts and forums to no avail. This is driving me crazy and hindering me from work. Can someone please help? Thank you!

I just had this issue and have been searching and searching for a way to fix this issue. I have a Windows 7 64 bit system and this was happening with IE 9. But I have found the solution.
Go to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/494/cpsid_49419.html and follow these instructions. This worked for my system and I was able top install the newest flash with no problems.
Make sure you are logged into a Windows Administrator account. If you are not, you will not be able to use SubInACL.
Download SubInACL from the Microsoft Download Center.
Follow the installation instructions. Make sure you install SubInACL (subinacl.exe) to the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools.
Download the reset_fp10.zip file.
Open the fp10.zip file and extract the reset_fp10.cmd file to the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\.
Both this file and SubInACL (subinacl.exe) must be in this directory.
Double-click reset_fp10.cmd. A command window will open, and SubInACL will run.
Do not use the machine while SubInACL is running.
After SubInACL finishes, you will see a prompt "Press any key to continue".
Install Flash Player from the Flash Player download page.
To confirm that your installation succeeded, visit the About Flash Player page. At the top of the screen, you should see a message that reads "Adobe Flash Player Successfully Installed."

HT1904 if i purchased my device with my money is it legal for someone else to put on the parental controls?

if i purchased my device with my money is it legal for someone else to put on the parental controls?

That is an interesting question. If you are at the "age of majority", then why would you allow someone else to put restrictions on your device.. If it is a condition of your employer to use the device on their network services, then you allow it to use the device for their system. If you are under the age of majority, and your parents are requiring it, sounds like the parents care.

I have had this same problem for weeks now with my 4S. I just got a new 5S after being extremely frustrated and the same thing - no sounds. After searching posts all over, I couldn't find a solution. I just told my friend of the issue and he asked "Do you have the Do Not Distrub on?" I didn't even know such a function existed. Upon looking that was exactly the issue.
To resolve, go to Settings> Do Not Disturb> Manual. If it is green, turn it off. You will now get phone calls and text alerts.
This functionality is also on your quick access utility menu (slide up menu). I assume this is how it was enabled on my phone.
I will post on other sites since I searched for weeks for this solution and didn't see it anywhere. Good luck!
