[Flashcoders] as3 sound and swf overriding one another

Hi all, I am having a very strange behavior with the Sound object. I will try to describe the problem as accurate as possible. I have a mp3 which I have embedded in class like this [Embed(source='../../../../../embedded_assets/mp3/loop.mp3')] private var Loop:Class; This mp3 plays when the

Hi Glen, I know I need to invoke the stop method to stop a sound object but what I am looking for is to have my mp3 and the sound in the swf playing at the same time. what is happening at the moment is that the sound in the swf overrides the mp3 soundchannel and therefore causes the mp3 to stop

Apologies, I misunderstood what you wanted to do. If you google around for sound and embedded flv people seem to be having a few problems so I am guessing this may be a bigger issue and would not surprise me if there is a bug in there somewhere or maybe a feature of the player. I had one a

Hi, If you want to stop the Embedded sound playing you need to save the SoundChannel object returned from calling play() on the Sound object: I guess you need to call stop() on your sound channel when your SWF loads. Here is a snippet of my code for a game - I stored my sound

Why is it good to extend the Event Class in your application? I understand that you can create your own events with it that are specific to your app but does anyone have any good tutorials/articles on this? I am a visual learner and I don't get it fully just yet.. Meanwhile I'll keep searching..

Hi, It's good to extend the Event Class because you can define your own event constants and also pass data around inside your event... The reason you do this is because you cannot rely on things in Flash don't happen in the same sequence all the time, so it's like asking someone to

It's not really important to understand the why behind extending Event in AS3. The reasons become self-evident over time as you use it. There's no reason not to, so best to just do so. The only reason you wouldn't is if you spent considerable time to deeply understand the event system in AS3

Hi SJM, It looks like you're setting the persistent var, _mcName, to equal each _summaryElement[i].sumImg in turn as the loop progresses. That means that when the loop is finished, the value for _mcName will be a reference to _summaryElement[4].sumImg, the last clip being loaded. Since your
