Call to a possibly undefined method stop through a reference with static type.flash.media.Sound

Report · Dec 28, 2012

This error appears when I tried putting this code 'soundFx_1.stop();' inside a rollOut function. What does this mean?

Report · Dec 28, 2012

the sound class does not have a stop() method. you must define a soundchannel when your sound starts and apply stop() to that soundchannel instance:

var sc:SoundChannel=soundFx_1.play();

//in your listener function:

sc.stop();

p.s. please mark helpful/correct responses.

It doesn't work. I might as well explain my problem. I have 2 function, the RollOut and MouseOver function. I have a cabinet that uses this two function. When I mouseOver to the cabinet, the cabinet will open and when I remove the mouse, the cabinet will close. Inside the cabinet movieclip, there are items that I have placed inside it so that when I mouseOver it to the cabinet, the items will be seen. My problem is, when I mouseOver to those items inside the cabinet, the sound effects that I used in MouseOver function plays. Is there a way to make the sound effect not play when I mouseOver to this item?

that code works unless you misapplied it.

show the code you used to create soundFx_1, the soundchannel and the code you used to stop the soundchannel.

Here it is:

var soundFx_2:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("Cabinet_Close.mp3"));

var soundFx_3:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("Cabinet_Open.mp3"));

var sc: SoundChannel = soundFx_3.play();

Cabinet1_00.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, fl_MouseOverHandler);

Cabinet1_00.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, fl_RollOutHandler);

if (this['showAcid3'] == null)

{

var showAcid3:Boolean = true;

}

showAcid3 = true;

function fl_MouseOverHandler(event:MouseEvent):void

{

Cabinet1_00.gotoAndStop('Open_0')

soundFx_3.play();

setChildIndex(Cabinet1_00, numChildren -1);

if (showAcid3 == true)

{

Cabinet1_00.Acid_3.gotoAndStop('Still');

Cabinet1_00.Acid_3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removeSelf);

}

else

{

Cabinet1_00.Acid_3.visible = false;

}

function removeSelf(e:MouseEvent):void

{

showAcid3 = false;

soundFx_1.play();

DisplayObject(e.target).removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removeSelf);

}

function fl_RollOutHandler(event:MouseEvent):void

{

Cabinet1_00.gotoAndStop('Still');

soundFx_2.play();

sc.stop();

}

use:

var soundFx_3:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("Cabinet_Open.mp3"));
var sc: SoundChannel = soundFx_3.play();

Cabinet1_00.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, fl_RollOutHandler);
if (this['showAcid3'] == null)
          {
          var showAcid3:Boolean = true;
          }
          showAcid3 = true;

function fl_MouseOverHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
          Cabinet1_00.gotoAndStop('Open_0')
          sc=soundFx_3.play();
           setChildIndex(Cabinet1_00, numChildren -1);
          if (showAcid3 == true)

          Cabinet1_00.Acid_3.gotoAndStop('Still');
    Cabinet1_00.Acid_3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removeSelf);

          }
          }

The problem still occurs. >.< In addition to that, soundFx_3 plays after exporting the swf.

it plays immediately because that's what you coded. if you don't want it play immediately, don't apply play() to your sound immediately:

var soundFx_2:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("Cabinet_Close.mp3"));
var soundFx_3:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("Cabinet_Open.mp3"));
var sc: SoundChannel;
Cabinet1_00.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, fl_MouseOverHandler);
Cabinet1_00.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, fl_RollOutHandler);
if (this['showAcid3'] == null)
          {
          var showAcid3:Boolean = true;
          }
          showAcid3 = true;
function fl_MouseOverHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
          Cabinet1_00.gotoAndStop('Open_0')
          sc=soundFx_3.play();
           setChildIndex(Cabinet1_00, numChildren -1);
          if (showAcid3 == true)
          {
          Cabinet1_00.Acid_3.gotoAndStop('Still');
    Cabinet1_00.Acid_3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removeSelf);
          }
          else
          {
    Cabinet1_00.Acid_3.visible = false;
          }
          }
function removeSelf(e:MouseEvent):void
          {
          showAcid3 = false;
          soundFx_1.play();
          DisplayObject(e.target).removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removeSelf);
          }
function fl_RollOutHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
          Cabinet1_00.gotoAndStop('Still');
          soundFx_2.play();
          sc.stop();
}

Oh I see. It doesn't play anymore when I exported the swf but the soundeffect is still playing when I mouseover to the items inside the cabinet movieClip. >.<

you're not stopping any sound in your mouseover listener function, only your rollover listener function:

var soundFx_2:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("Cabinet_Close.mp3"));
var soundFx_3:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("Cabinet_Open.mp3"));
var sc: SoundChannel;
Cabinet1_00.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, fl_MouseOverHandler);
Cabinet1_00.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, fl_RollOutHandler);
if (this['showAcid3'] == null)
          {
          var showAcid3:Boolean = true;
          }
          showAcid3 = true;
function fl_MouseOverHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
          Cabinet1_00.gotoAndStop('Open_0');
sc.stop();
          sc=soundFx_3.play();
           setChildIndex(Cabinet1_00, numChildren -1);
          if (showAcid3 == true)
          {
          Cabinet1_00.Acid_3.gotoAndStop('Still');
    Cabinet1_00.Acid_3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removeSelf);
          }
          else
          {
    Cabinet1_00.Acid_3.visible = false;
          }
          }
function removeSelf(e:MouseEvent):void
          {
          showAcid3 = false;
          soundFx_1.play();
          DisplayObject(e.target).removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removeSelf);
          }
function fl_RollOutHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
          Cabinet1_00.gotoAndStop('Still');
sc.stop();
         sc= soundFx_2.play();
