SoundChannel.position inaccuracies within SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA

The application generates sound dynamically by handling SampleDataEvent. It needs to determine exactly what part of the sound was actually playing when a click was made.
Unfortunately, the latency calculation is slightly off because SoundChannel.position seems to be returning values that are +- 20 milliseconds off. The attached class demonstrates the issue by using a timer to occasionally check the position against the current time, displaying the difference between the two, along with the range of differences over time. The timer fires as often as it can so different ranges can be seen by using different movie frame rates.
I'm not sure why this is, but I'm guessing it's something to do with the fact that the sound buffering is happening in a separate thread. Perhaps this thread only periodically updates the main thread about its position?
Is there any more accurate way to calculate latency? Or maybe some way to know just how much the position value with be off at any given time?

SoundChannel.position won't reset

I'm trying to play an audio that goes along with the text on the screen. As the audio plays, a timer event handler checks the SoundChannel.position to see determine what text should be highlighted. In my application I have a few audios that play in succession. When one ends, the SoudComplete event is fired and I start playing the next audio. I create a new sound object and reset the timer, but for some reason, the SoundChannel.Postion is off. Here is my code:
private function soundComplete(evt:Event):void
//unHighlightSegment(this.curSegment_int);
//timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, highlightNext);
//timer.stop();
oSoundChannel.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, soundComplete);
/*oSoundChannel = null;

//timer.reset();

timer.stop();
timer.reset();
timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, stopVocalPlayback);
timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, highlightNext);
trace("playAllNormal", seg);
try
trace("stop audio");
oSoundChannel.stop();
catch(e:Error)

highlightSegment(curSegment_int);
else
unHighlightSegment(curSegment_int);

Any ideas on why the position is not close to zero just after I begin playing?

Somewhere between the sound ending and the firing of the soundComplete event, the timer still keeps counting and firing the timer event. Any suggestions on how to stop the timer? I already call Timer.stop() and Timer.RemoveEventListener when the sound complete fires, but the timer still has time to fire several times before I can stop it in the SoundComplete event handler.

[AS3.0]SoundChannel.position≠Sound.length

別の掲示板の引用で恐縮ですが、まさにこの問題に直面しています。
http://www.flash-jp.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=7819&forum=8&post_id=38874#f orumpost38874
上記サイトで書かれていますが、
「 Firefox 2.0.0.14 & Internet Explorer 7.0/Windows Vistaで確認したところ、SoundChannel.positionプロパティの値がSound.lengthの値に達しないという問題が生じました。」
の問題に対する、解決策、回避策などはございませんでしょうか。
AS3.0＋Vistaの環境では、mp3の再生に合わせてバーを伸縮させるスライダーようなものは作れない、なんてことはないと思うのですが・・・
再生終了時のpositionの値がlengthの値と同じにならなくても、その終了した時の値が、再生前に分かれば問題ないのだと思うのですが、そのようなことは無理でしょうか。
その他、何か情報がありましたら、ぜひよろしくお願いいたします。

I managed to get it to move each second though with this:

myTimer.start();

Microphone.addEventListener(SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA) Causes output volume to decrease

I would like to record sound from the microphone in AIR.
This is working, except that while recording, AIR reduces the volume of all playing sounds.
This volume reduction is triggered by
microphone.addEventListener(SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA, myFunction);
It should be noted that myFunction() can be completely empty. The output volume is still reduced.
How to reproduce:
// Start playing a sound
var url:String = "100Hz_44100Hz_16bit_30sec.mp3";
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var isound:Sound = new Sound();
isound.load(urlRequest);
isound.play();
// Set up the microphone
var microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone();
microphone.setUseEchoSuppression(false); // I have tried both ways.
microphone.setLoopBack(false); // I have tried both ways.
microphone.rate = 44;
// Start recording
microphone.addEventListener(SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA, gotMicData);
// The volume of 'isound' will now be reduced until the microphone listener is removed.
// Once the listener is removed, the volume of 'isound' returns to normal.
I do NOT want the volume of other playing sounds to be reduced while recording. How might I do this?
Note: I am using Windows 7.

I believe reducing volume on mic record is a Windows 7 feature and nothing to do with Air.
To disable this, take the following steps:
Click Windows button
Choose Control Panel
Choose "Hardware and Sound"
Choose "Manage audio devices" under the "Sound" heading
Goto the "Communications" tab
Set "When windows detects communications activity" to "Do Nothing"
Even though that setting says it's supposed to adjust volume when placing telephone calls using you computer, I have had it reduce volume in some programs when i activate the microphone.
Let me know if that works for you.
Edit: Heh, was reading some other recent forum posts to see if there was anything else I could help with. The thread "2 flash instances & Windows 7" currently a few below this one on the front page mentions this Windows 7 Feature, although it's causing a different issue for him.

SoundChannel position

Why isn't the end position of a sound channel the same as the length of a sound?
        public function play():void
            soundChannel = sound.play();
            soundChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onSoundComplete);
        private function onSoundComplete(e:Event):void
            var endPosition:Number = soundChannel.position;
            var length:Number = sound.length;
If you test the previous code you will see that the position of the soundChannel when SOUND_COMPLETE is dispatched is different then the length of the sound.
Why isn't the soundChannel play all the sound? Why does it stops earlier? and how can I find the end position of the soundChannel without playing and listening to the SOUND_COMPLETE event?

imnikey,
I see no one has answered your question. I don't have an answer either, but I'm experiencing similar problems with the SoundChannel position. The problem with tracking the sound object's position through its sound channel gets worse when there is more than one Flash movieclip open in a different browser window. Opening a Flash audio player seems to work fine if it is the only Flash movieclip open on my desktop. After I open another Flash object in a separate window, the audio player fails to properly track the SoundChannel position, and fails to correctly fire the SoundComplete event.
Anyone else experiencing these problems? Has anyone been able to find a reliable method for tracking the sound channel position with more than one Flash movieclip open on the desktop? Is this a known issue or bug with the Sound API for Flash Player 10? We could really use some answers.

Assigning position hierarchy within Org Model

Hi,
have maintained the org model with sales org and position in crm 5.0. This position is President sales and would like to maintain General Manager under this position as a subordinate. While doing so, I get the following message:
<b>Before you select a function, select suitable entries in the structure.
    Message no. 5W707
Diagnosis
    You have chosen a function for which a selection of suitable entries in the structure is a prerequisite.
Procedure
    Select one or more suitable functions in the structure and choose the function again. You can use the right mouse-button to display all the functions you can carry out for an entry.</b>
What else am I missing here
Thanks
Kumar

Hi Diana,
Thanks for the inputs. I have rewarded points.
As per your mail, we could maintain two positions under single organization unit one with the 'head of org unit' check and the other without that. Now they both appear under the same org unit but they appear as two positions (only difference is that the icons are different).
What I am looking at is, Sales Org 1 should have a sub tree (arrow mark) with Mgr Director position, when I drop down this positions arrow mark, then I only I should be able to see the General Mgr's position (the GM's position should not appear parallel to the MD's position on the tree structure but should be within the MD's position)
Can we assign any position to the head position by any standard means ?
Hope you got my requirement clear, else let me know I can explain in more detail.
Thanks
Kumar

How to obtain position/view within PDF

There is much information regarding how to open a PDF at a particular page etc. from the command line.
How can the data be obtained and stored externally while reading the document.
Perhaps more precisely, if I edited a page and then later wanted to open the PDF at a specific edit from, say, a shortcut, because I don't wish to write down the page number how might I go about obtaining the data to add to the shortcut command line?
Thank you

Thank you.
I have read from the link you provided but it only tells me what I knew regarding how to achieve this manually not programmatically.
I can see that I have not explained very well.
I wish through external means (a program/script I will write), to click a button at any time and multiple times, while reading a PDFand have the program obtain (from somewhere/anywhere/even Windows itself) the position I am at while reading a PDF and inject it into a url.
The end result will be a list (in an HTML page?) of the url's I have saved. i.e. the same as internal bookmarks but external.
The information exists because a PDF can be re-opened at the current page when closing by it saving that information.
I do understand that I can do it by noting the position myself and injecting it.
Useage example:
While editing video's I am reading from several PDF's at the same time, with differing viewpoints, and at various stages I want to bookmark and make a comment from whichever PDF my eyes are on (thus effectively at random).
Doing it within the PDF does not tell me (later, externally) which PDF or the order in which the bookmarks were made, if I wish to recreate the learning process.
All I can at present do is open each PDF and got to its various bookmarks out of sequence both within the book and choice of book.
Clearly the bookmarks need to appear in a list in the order created and each must select the appropriate book and page within that book. Then the previous session's progress can be recreated.
Perhaps it is now clearer.
I can write the program but where do I obtain, programmatically when I click the button, the current PDF title (file url) and page number within it, to place in the list of url's?
Any suggestions please

Position parameter within 3D nested groups?

I have a total of six drop zones in 3D space. They are vertical, while the animated background is slanted in the x-axis beneath them. I'm getting a little confused as to the x, y, z coordinates of the drop zones, as they do not seem to be relative to the 0,0,0 xyz coordinates of the canvas. Is there a way to take a screenprint of the canvas and layers tab for me to post? Until then, here is how the nesting looks within the layers tab:
-user content
-drop zone 3
-drop zone 3 portrait
-drop zone 3 landscape
-drop zone 2
-drop zone 2 portrait
-drop zone 2 landscape
-drop zone 1
-drop zone 1 portrait
-drop zone 1 landscape
I have the entire user content group dropping vertically down, and then animate each of the drop zones. My confusion comes in that I've been keyframing the positions, which I find easier than the record button. But, the positions of the individual portrait and landscape drop zones seem to take their 0,0,0 relative to the position of the group they are within, rather than the absolute zero of the canvas. For instance, when drop zone 3 appears to be right in the center of the canvas, it's x and y coordinates are somewhere around 260, -200, which is its position relative to the user content group, not the canvas as a whole. Should I animate them all individually instead of in groups to get actual x,y,z coordinates? or does it even matter?

I should have previewed the post as it took away the formatting for the nesting. The user content group has drop zones 1, 2, and 3 nested within it. Each drop zone group has the portrait and landscape drop zone (with applied effects) nested within it. The x,y,z coordinates of the actual drop zones appear to be relative to the top level group, rather than to the 0,0,0 of the canvas. Wow, that was a much more concise way of explaining the issue.

Positioning text within block

Hi
I am wanting to postion text within a Box/block, these are list items that I have used as navigation buttons.
I have set the box size and have selected "center" for text positioning, this positions the text in the centre horizontally ok.
I would like to know how to position the text centrally verticially aswell?
Many thanks
Mark

Hi
Thanks for quick answer.
I can get the padding within a div option to work, but one of the List items/ button texts needs different padding to the others because it is two lines of text.
Can I differentiate the treatment of one "Li" ??
Cheers

Resizing & Positioning Children within a Panel

I'm trying to insert an element into a Panel that has a vertical layout, and create a transition that smoothly inserts the new item in between 2 existing items in the base state of the application. My goal is for the bottom text field to remain anchored to the bottom of the panel as the panel resizes, instead of jumping to its new position, so that the middle text input can then gracefully fade in.
Am I just missing something in how I'm defining the transitions, or will the effects not yet account for the positioning of items from layout? Attached is the MXML app and the compiled SWF.
Thanks.

This will get you what you want. There's a tricky interaction between adding the new element and the vertical layout. The third item won't make room for the second one unless the second one is actually added to the parent. But adding it will immediately make it visible, which is not what you want. So I tweaked the effect to add it but make it non-visible (alpha==0), then Resize the second element itself (the panel will resize automatically), *then* fade in the second element.
            <s:Sequence>
                <s:SetAction target="{secondTxt}" property="alpha" value="0"/>
                <s:Resize target="{secondTxt}" heightFrom="0"/>
                <s:Parallel>
                    <s:Move target="{thirdTxt}" />
                    <s:Fade target="{secondTxt}" alphaTo="1"/>
                </s:Parallel>
            </s:Sequence>

How to play sound from a proprietary format

I would like to convert a small java applet to flex as3
The current applet connects to a remote server to receive audio in a proprietry compressed and encrypted format using a tcp connection (the data is encoded as text)
It then decrypts, decompresses the audio and uses java sound to play it.
Looking at the as3 classes all I could find is a sound object that seems to only play mp3 audio and a urlrequest object that is used to download (what about streaming) mp3 audio from a server.
I am looking for a simple sample that will incorporate retreving data from a server (perhaps using the http service) into e.g. a byte array, and playing pcm audio from a byte array.
Ideally it would be a small set of files (1?) that I can compile using mxmlc; I am not good with IDEs, linux command line is my thing
Thanks

Maciek, many thanks!

Serious Help! Handling Sound Position And Speed!

Take a look at this: https://sites.google.com/site/pardeepgames/Untitled-1.swf. It may take some time to load, sound is 42 seconds, see the second text field for time buffering.
I recommend reading the Source Code below first.
Now as you can see the pitch and speed functions are working perfectly, but the problem is that when you move the slider, the songTime text field dosen't work correctly. When you raise the pitch the songTime should just speed up the counting not change it's position, same when you lower the pitch, it should just slow down the counting not change it's position. Well that isn't working for me. The Source Code is there for you below and all the information you need is in the comments in the code. Please help me out. Oh and I recommend focusing on the songTime text field and then moving the slider.
Source Code:
Name of the slider: "slider".
Name of the first text field: "songTime".
Name of the second text field: "songTotalTime".

this is a public forum. no one here (or anywhere else that i know of) is obligated to work for you for free.
your options are to keep working on this yourself or hire someone to help you. if you can narrow down the problem's location and post the problematic code you could still get free help.
or just wait. given enough time maybe someone willing to donate their time to help you will read your post.

Record Mic using SampleDataEvent works only on some computers.

I made a swf that records your mic and allows you to play it back. I load the soundBytes into a float and play the float back. It works fine on the computer I developed it on (in IE, Chrome and Firefox) . It does not work on my second laptop. And a few people in some forums have said it is not working either.
Here is the file. http://www.buttonbeats.com/images/MicCapture.html
Here is the code. Do I need certain plugins besides the flash player?
micRec.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,recordMic);
function recordMic(event:MouseEvent){
micRec.x = -250;
stopRecord.x = 0;
const DELAY_LENGTH:int = 4000;
var mic:Microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone();
mic.setSilenceLevel(0, DELAY_LENGTH);
mic.gain = 80;
mic.rate = 40;
mic.addEventListener(SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA, micSampleDataHandler);
stopRecord.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,SREC);
var soundBytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
function micSampleDataHandler(event:SampleDataEvent):void
    while(event.data.bytesAvailable)
        var sample:Number = event.data.readFloat();
        soundBytes.writeFloat(sample);
function SREC(event:MouseEvent):void
stopRecord.x = -250;
    mic.removeEventListener(SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA, micSampleDataHandler);
    soundBytes.position = 0;
    var sound:Sound = new Sound();
    sound.addEventListener(SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA, playbackSampleHandler);
soundPlay.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,SP1);
function SP1(event:MouseEvent){
soundBytes.position = 0;
    sound.play();
function playbackSampleHandler(event:SampleDataEvent):void
    for (var i:int = 0; i < 8192 && soundBytes.bytesAvailable > 0; i++)
        var sample:Number = soundBytes.readFloat();
        event.data.writeFloat(sample);
        event.data.writeFloat(sample);

you need fp 10. what's the problematic player version?

Using a class within a Vector

ok,
I writing a bank program where a user types in a string which is then broken into tokens. The tokens are separated using .nextToken( ) and the first token is used to determine what command the user wants to perform.
My problem is that I am trying to place a class that Ive created within the vector and I cant seem to be able to get the tokens into the right place or retrieve them when they are needed.
Here is what I have so far, ps I am very new to java.
Project3Functions func = new Project3Functions();
Vector vect = new Vector();
do
String firstLine = func.getLineInput();
StringTokenizer tok = new StringTokenizer(firstLine," ");
String hold = tok.nextToken();
if(hold.equals("newAccount"))
int index = Integer.parseInt(tok.nextToken());
vect.setSize(index);
vect.add(index, new Account());
vect.add(index, Account.firstname = tok.nextToken());
vect.add(index, Account.lastname = tok.nextToken());
System.out.println("a new account was created");
public class Account
static String firstname = "";
static String lastname = "";
I am trying to create a new Account in the position <index> within the vector but I dont think Im referencing firstname and lastname correctly. Also how would I get firstname and lastname out of the vertoc to print them on the screen?
Please someone help me.

Your first problem is that you are defining firstname and lastname as static in your Account class. This means that no matter how many new accounts you create, there will only be one firstname and lastname, which are shared between them. their value will be whatever you set them to most recently.
I think I know why you think you did that, however, and that leads to your second problem. You got complaints from the compiler because you tried to use Account.firstname to set firstname, etc. This only works for static variables. With your code, you are adding three new items to your vector for each new account you create, and you are adding them all to the same index. The last one wins! The other two die.
Make your Account variables non-static and change the adding code:vect.add(index, newAcct = new Account());
newAcct.firstname = tok.nextToken();
newAcct.lastname = tok.nextToken();You should also take care that you only vect.setSize(index); when vect.size() < index; otherwise, if you have items up to 10, and then add an item at 6, items 7 through 10 will be irretrievably lost.

Imported image's position moves when updated in Indesign CS6. Why??

After modifying an imported image from illustrator, the imported image's position moves within the frame of Indesign CS6 when the link is updated.

You have not provided any relevant information, so nobody can know. you can simply have added content that expands the bounding box. Well, whatever, ask in the relevant forums and be much more specific.
