audio from Flash CS3 Video overlapping

Hey,

You might have figured this out by now but all you need to do is add: SoundMixer.stopAll(); as part of the function for your btn actions... ie:

videopage_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, videopage);
function videopage(event:MouseEvent):void
{
SoundMixer.stopAll();
ldr.load(videopageReq);

}



Add that to all your buttons and audio overlap will never happen...

Cheers!

I have tried to clean up code and do this right.

I need help referencing (storing the value in the variable "stopsoundoverlapReq") the "flvplayback instance AFTER theVideo is instantiated (ie, the frame that contains theVideo has rendered)" correctly.

Also, now I need help with the name of my nav bar button's method followed by parentheses, which should include the appropriate method parameter.



On my main timeline, I tried to clean up the code and use:

var stopsoundoverlapReq:FLVPlayback = stop("videopage.swf/MovieClip(ldr.content).theVideo");


Then for my nav bar button on this same timeline use:

any_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopsoundoverlap);
function stopsoundoverlap(event:MouseEvent):void
{
stopsoundoverlap.stop(stopsoundoverlapReq);
}


The 3 errors I get now are :

1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: FLVPlayback. var stopsoundoverlapReq:FLVPlayback = stop("videopage.swf/MovieClip(ldr.content).theVideo");

1061: Call to a possibly undefined method stop through a reference with static type Function. stopsoundoverlap.stop(stopsoundoverlapReq);

1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0. var stopsoundoverlapReq:FLVPlayback = stop("videopage.swf/MovieClip(ldr.content).theVideo");

No, theVideo is the instance name of the FLV Player component in the videopage.swf that's loaded by ldr.

There is no movie clip.

videopage_Req is the variable for the button that goes to videopage.swf and ultimately plays and just only has the Flash Video, which is "theVideo".

So, ldr loads different variables (.swf files) accordingly.

YES, the Flash CS3 video ("theVideo") IS indeed playing in the .swf (videopage.swf/videopage_Req), that loads into your main swf.

But, when I navigate away, all my other file requests display over the visual aspects of videopage.swf/videopage_Req ONLY.

The loader name is "ldr". The Flashback's name is "theVideo". The relationship of the "theVideo" to the main time line is that it plays from a loaded file named (videopage.swf/var videopageReq), which is loaded from a file named (gallerypage.swf/var gallerypageReq), which is accessed from a navigation bar button (gallerypage_btn), which is on frame 2 of the main timeline.

The videopage.swf, which has the Flash CS3 Video name "theVideo", plays on the top level of the main timeline, at a fixed x/y location.

THEN, when another button on navigation bar is clicked, to give the vision of another file replacing videopage.swf, the other .swf files do indeed replace videopage.swf visually, BUT not audioly.

OK. So, it sounds like I need to stop a .swf file (or a loaded .swf, what ever would be the appropriate phrase), the button to the FLVPlayer Component/Flash Video, and the FLVPlayer component, right?


Again, any examples of what you think I can try with the code structure we've been talking about from above are welcome.


It sounds like this is not just stop a variabe/var.


From the main stage (mainstage.swf), how would I maybe use "stop();" for this "mainstage.swf/gallerypagemuv.swf/videeopage.swf/Flash Video (with an instance name of "theVideo")" (which is loaded)?

***** Please comment on my broad imagination of how I think I could make this work (below)!

var flvPlay:FLVPlayback();

thumbnailpage_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, stopFLV);

function stopFLV(event:MouseEvent):void{
(MAIN.swf/videopage_btn/videopage.swf/theVideo).stop(flvPlay);
}

Okay, I understand a little bit better, but I am still having a difficult time.

I believe I need help setting up a variable.

Please consult me on your opinion on something maybe like:


var flvPlay:FLVPlayback();

thumbnailpage_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, stopFLV);

function stopFLV(event:MouseEvent):void{
theVideo.stop(flvPlay);
}

However, when I tried this I got an error

"1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: FLVPlayback." var flvPlay:FLVPlayback();


I am still open to and trying to get help for this.

What is yourflvpb? Do you mean the instance name (which is "theVideo") from the .swf file that contains the FLV Playback component?

I tried

"thumbnailpage_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, stopFLV);

function stopFLV(e:Event){
theVideo.stop();
} "

on my simple nav page. Now, I get an error message saying " 1120: Access of undefined property theVideo."
