add sound

[Alan5E07]

Hi Guys

 I managed to get all my buttons work correctly. now i need some help with sound/music. I need the title music to play at the start of my project frames 1-28 where my first bit of frame by frame animation runs with it. But when I test project the animation runs ok but no music. But when i press button to go to another part of the project and return to home page the animation plays ok again and the music to but only for the duration of the short  animation. I need the music the keep playing in that area 1/28 until the user press a button and move on.

Help! AlanY

you have a typo in line 5433 of that backup js file.

if you don't understand how to fix that, copy and paste lines ~5420 to ~5450 from that js file

[Alan5E07]

Hi

Sorry but I don't understand about js files or how to get that information.

[kglad]

when you test or publish animate creates several files, by default, in the folder where you save your fla.  you'll find your js file there.

Reverted back to copy I had saved before it all went wrong. I thought it was easier to do that! This copy Plays the sound in full in the 1-28 area but still keep playing when I move out of the area. nothing added to the button listners so far! I can try again with some help from your good self!

now change one button listener per my last message with that code

[Alan5E07]

Runs through to frame 51 and stops with music playing all the time. Maybe I have the stop sound in the wrong place.

[kglad]

on frame 1 use:

this.sound1 = createjs.Sound.createInstance("soundId");  // eg, if linkage id = soundId

this.stop_soundF = function(){

this.sound1.stop()

}

this.start_soundF = function(){

this.sound1.play()

}

for the button_5 listener function use:

function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame6(){

this.gotoAndStop(51);

this.stop_soundF();

}

[Alan5E07]

runs through to frame 51 and stops but with no sound at all from 1-51

[kglad]

you must use:

this.start_soundF()

to start the sound.  that's a change from my previous suggestion(s) which did not include the keyword "this"

[Alan5E07]

Sound plays runs through to 51 sound plays continuously.

[kglad]

did you click button_5 prior to frame 51?

[Alan5E07]

Hi

No never click 5 frames just ran continuously from frame 1-51.

[kglad]

@Alan5E07 

what does this mean, "No never click 5 frames just ran continuously from frame 1-51"

[Alan5E07]

I never got a chance to click button 5 because the test ran from frame 1-51 all the way through, without stopping at frame 28. and the sound played all the way too.

[kglad]

if you have something to stop the timeline on frame 28, open the console to check for errors.

p.s.  punctuation often helps clarify your writing. eg, a period after click 5, would have been helpful.

Create a movieclip for your audio and make the audio as Event under the Sound properties. Now bring that movie clip to the main stage. In the 28th frame, anyways the animtion stops and waits for the user to click any one option, so in all the buttons that you have at the 28th frame, just add a the action: SoundMixer.stopAll(); within the eventlistener of each button. Now the audio will stop and if you have any other audio that is part of each section of the buttons, just place those musics within the particular movieclip. So when you come back to the home screen, by clicking any of the buttons from each of your sections, again add the same code for those buttons: SoundMixer.stopAll();. Now what this does again is, it will stop all the sounds and when it returns to the main home screen, it will start playing the movieclip audio that was added for the beginning section. One important thing here is, this will work, only if the audio is kept as event under the Sound properties. If this doenst help, I Happy to solve this once when you share a sample of your work by changing any confidential data from the file.

canvas project.

[Alan5E07]

Hi Don't know how to make movieclip!

[kglad]

@Alan5E07 

ignore @Giddy_personality5D25 message. while well-meaning, it doesn't apply to your project.

[Alan5E07]

ok

copy and paste here the code for your button 5 on your ~27th frame (which should look like)

this.button_5.addEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame6.bind(this));

function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame6(){

this.gotoAndStop(51);

this.stop_soundF();

}

=============================

from the error message it looks like only 

this.button_5.addEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame6.bind(this));

is present and not the rest of the code i suggested.

Hi Alan,

Have attached fla file. Please run the file and let me know if this is what you are trying to achieve. A music starts playing in the beginning until a certain frame and stops for the usr to click on any of the options. Have kep 4 grey buttons that jumps to 4 different frames and a green button to jump to the beginning of the file. Whenever you click on any of the 4 grey buttons, it stops the music and goes to that particular frame. and when you click on the green button, it goes to the beginning and plays the music again.

@Giddy_personality5D25 

you didn't (and can't) attach a fla file to adobe's forums.

[Alan5E07]

this.button_5.addEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_6.bind(this));

function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame6(){

this.gotoAndStop(51);

this.stop_soundF();

}

This code is on frame 28 not frame 27
