StopAllSounds vs. new Streaming Sound not playing

In my timeline, I'm using a stopAllSounds action (because the
user could be coming from anywhere in the movie and I need to stop
whatever narration might be playing), then, in the next frame, I'm
trying to stream a new sound. My problem is that the streaming
sound doesn't play. I've tried adding a few frames between the
stopAll Sounds action and the start of the streaming sound, but
that doesn't seem to be the problem. Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated.

I was about to try your suggestion, but after sending a few more test emails, I discovered that it does in fact play the sound sometimes.  I sent about 20 test emails, and they were all received using the "idle" command, with about 75% of them playing the sound.  There was a 5-10 second delay between the messages being received and the sound playing that I don't remember from Snow Leopard, but I'm not positive about that.
It shouldn't be the actual sound that is the issue, being that it is played sometimes, but I still don't know why it's not playing every time.  I tried receiving messages with the app running in the background, with it minimized, and with it as the active window, but I couldn't find any specific instance that caused it to not play the sound.
I wasn't having this issue in Mail 4.  It didn't start until I installed Lion, which I did a clean install of, if it matters.
I'm still open to thoughts on this, and thank you for your help.

  • Flash animation with stream sound not playing in mac

    Dear all,
    I have made a 5 min animation with stream sound. Its playing perfectly in PC. But in mac, its not playing. Stream sound starts from frame 60. So mac plays the swf plays till 60 frame, after that it pauses. I tried importing different sound format (wav, aif, mp3) and tried with all sound export setting but the problem remain same; its playing only till 60. When i removed the sound, it played till end. Even with event sound, it plays till end. But with stream sound, the problem. The problem is only in mac; in pc its perfect.
    I am using VMware Mac OS x leopard in window xp for testing purpose. I tested it in laptop with mac; but the problem is same. What could be the solution?
    Thanks in advance. Waiting for solution.

    Dear all, I solved the problem myself. The problem was with the sound driver of mac. After installing sound driver, the problem is gone. Bhushan

  • "New Message" Sound Not Playing In Mail 5

    Since I have upgraded to OS X Lion and Mail 5, I have noticed that the "new message" sound is not playing when I receive a new email.  I have checked the settings, and the option for this is enabled.  I am using Gmail and have the "idle command" option enabled, and I suspect that this may be involved in the issue.
    I have read that in the past Mail had an issue where it would only play the "new message" sound if it had received the new message by polling the server.  If the new message was received through the "idle" command, then the "new message" sound would not be played.  Perhaps this is the same bug.
    Is anyone else having this issue?  I know I could just turn off the "idle" command, but I'm looking for an actual fix to the underlying issue.  I've reported it to Apple, but I would like to see if anyone else has noticed this.

  • IOS 5 - New Alert Tones not playing

    After updating to iOS 5, I purchased some new Alert Tones to customize my notifications (text, calendar, etc..), BUT the new tones will not play when my notifications pop up.  I switched back to the default tones and it worked fine and I get the sound, but anytime I switch to any of my purchased tones I don't get any sound.
    Anyone else experience this?

    After messing with it for a while, I finally rebooted the phone and the sounds now work.

  • .mp3 compressed audio stream dose not play in AIR

    Hi All,
    We are trying to load stream audio file with mp3 compression in the AIR app using the follwoing code using FLash CS4 -
    var snd:Sound = new Sound();      
    snd.load(new URLRequest(""http://67.159.30.133""));
    snd.play();
    This works fine when we publish for flashPlayer 9/10. When we try to publish it using AIR the sound dose not play.
    We have tested with another approach, where we are loading sound with .flv compression. Here we are using NetConnection and NetStream method to play the sound. With .flv compression it works well in both flash player version as well AIR versions. On the other side when we try to use NetConnection and NetStream method to play .mp3 compressed audio stream it dose not pl when we publish in AIR or flashplayer.
    If anyone having any info to play .mp3 compressed format in AIR file will be very much appreciable.

  • Sound not playing

    Hi.
    Now, I made a music player for a website. When I tested
    (previewed) it in flash it did not play with sound. However,
    through the exterior swf player it played with sound as designed.
    So I uploaded it onto the server, and as you might guess it didn't
    work. It isn't part of the main .swf, the music player is loaded on
    a level above it. The weird thing is when I type in the .swf name
    into the browser, loading it by itself, the sound works. Can anyone
    help?

    Based on a quick look at your site, I would say the problem
    has to do with the scope of your sound objects, but it's hard to
    say without looking at your code... Some quick tips:
    1. Be conscious of where you are defining your sound objects:
    var song1_sound = new Sound(target);
    target needs to be a movie clip (it can refer to the clip
    where your sound is defined by using the this keyword). Where the
    sound object is defined and target both need to be kept track of
    2. When you call the sound object, make sure you are
    referencing the correct scope. Say you defined your sound in the
    root movie clip but called it from a loaded movie clip. you would
    need to refer to it as _parent.song1_sound (if the loaded clip was
    a child of the root clip) or _root.song1_sound (make sure _lockroot
    property of loaded clip is undefined or false). Simply calling
    song1_sound will not work in this example.
    3. Make sure enough of your sound has loaded before the
    player is activated, otherwise, you may hear nothing. Use the
    onLoad handler:
    // define sound
    var song1_sound = new Sound(this);
    // define onLoad handler
    song1_sound.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {
    // activate player
    // load sound; note that the false parameter means the sound
    is an event sound, not a streaming sound
    song1_sound.loadSound("song1.mp3", false);
    Good luck,
    Albee

  • When sync ipod error message "new wave sound not copied, because not found

    I just upgraded to 7.0 and after I download music to my library I get a message stating the following "new wave sound" was not copied to the ipod because it could not be found. I looked on apple support for this plug but no luck. Please help.

    Hello LeaMinovitch,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
    You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
    Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
    If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still authorize your computer.
    In some cases, iTunes may ask you to authorize the computer again. iTunes should use the same authorization as before if the computer is in your list of authorized computers.
    Learn what to do if iTunes repeatedly asks you to authorize when you try to play your content.

  • Streaming Sound File Playing Early

    I'm creating a presentation in Flash v8. It's the very same
    presentation I created in v5 last month but now I'm recreating it
    from scratch in v8 and something's happening now that didn't happen
    then.
    It's a simple Flash document with multiple scenes and no
    Actionscript. I'm starting a new .wav sound file (narration) at the
    start of each scene. When I play each scene individually in the
    Flash environment, the sound synchs fine with the events in the
    presentation. But when I run the presentation as a .swf or .exe,
    the sound file on scene 2 begins playing before scene 1 has
    finished playing. The sound file from scene 3 begins playing before
    scene 2 has finished, etc. This didn't happen in the same
    presenation I created in v5. Is there something new that I haven't
    figured out yet?

    Its doing this to me too....
    Same thing - a series of scenes - each with sound streamed on
    its own layer.
    as soon as one sound ends, the next scene's sounds starts -
    The sounds are synched correctly in edit mode - its just when
    I play the SWFs.
    I'm publishing a MENU movie as a projector - this menu calls
    the other SWFs.

  • New iTunes can not play music, can not locate songs in my music library

    I only use iTune on my PC, so this Should be simple. I downloaded a new version of iTunes when prompted to do that. With the new version, I cannot play my music. It asks me to locate songs, but nothing helps locate them. I put ogver 4000 songs on my hard drive and now, thanks to going with the prompt, I cannot play any of them. What can this low tech 68 year old music-lover do to listen to his songs once again?

    I'm afraid the problem is more widespread than just iTunes and the update didn't fix it. There's a thread out there about users not getting any sound/audio in Lion after wake from sleep or just having it idle for a long while.
    Hopefully, Mac OS X 10.7.2 will fix the issue.
    Thanks!

  • My new MacBook will not play TV shows, or connect audio with slideshows

    I just bought a black 2 gigHZ MacBook and when starting it up used a firewire to transfer everything from my Intel iMac, as prompted. Seemed to work fine, except: the TV shows in iTunes will not play in Front Row on my MacBook. And in iTunes they will play as video only: no sound.
    Also, I tried to make a slideshow in iPhoto, but I cannot attach a soundtrack from my iTunes plibrary: again, no audio, though the slides play.
    Odd thing is: I can play commercial DVDs in Front Row. No problem. Likewise with iTunes music library. The ptoblem seems limited to TV shows I have downloaded from iTunes music store, and to the slide show/no audio issues.

    hello,
    did you try to authorize you Macbook with your itunes login and password ??
    this must be done manually and is not transferred automatically with other datas as you can authorize up to 5 computers !
    if you didn't already do this, give it a try !
