SOUND LOOPS: How to loop multiple sounds linearly

can you explain what you are doing by dragging a sound?

Are you trying to create an interface that will place movie clicks on the stage in a specific order, and them press a play button to play a customized song?

I think there will always be an imperfection when trying to play seperate sounds and connecting them together to play a smooth song.  Flash was never very good at controlling sounds based on the SWF timeline.

I assume you are just using beats or simple 4 beat loops for your sound clips...right?

please try and give us some more detail about the specific problems you are having...

I've yet to try your suggested script rexmor, but will try get to it tomorrow.

To answer rascalpants, yes.  The idea is to place one loop next to another visually and upon pushing the play button, those 2 loops are played back to back.  If it were only a few loops to choose from, I'd simply make multiple versions of the loops to choose from.

After looking over what REXMOR suggested again, I realized that his script doesn't really do what I'm wanting to do.  I spent several hours yesterday at Borders book store scanning through almost 20+ flash books looking for some kind of hint to my dilemma.  Pretty much every instance explained the same 'sound stacking' ideas, but no linear looping ideas.  There were a few hints but only vague speculation without actually examples.

I noticed that there's an action (_soundbuftime)in reference to sound stream buffering that by default is 5 seconds.  What I'm working on is an actual app, and not distributed over the web, so I'm not concerned about stream/size issues.

I've tried different methods of course, but have noted that if I put loop A in scene 1, and loop B in scene 2, there is no pause before playing the scene 2 loop.  The pause occurs when it goes back to scene 1.  I scratch my head as to wonder why if going from scene 1 to scene 2 is seamless, but scene 2 to scene 1 is not.  It's not like an audio tape, whereas it would have to be rewound, it's virtual.  If there was no problem buffering the second loop out of the first, then why should it occur the other way around.  While this scene looping setup was only a test, it's not a workable solution even if I did get it to loop properly.

Can you post a complete scenario of your problem and I try to make a sample file for you.
What Flash version use?
Is it External audio or Internal audio?

I think working with sounds in flash is not a big problem...

ROOTDIR:  Thanks for pointing me to that forum link.  That's essentially how I'm wanting this to work...pretty much the way winamp works.  You drag two sound files into it, click on repeat and play.  The 2 files wills then loop back to back until I hit stop or re-arrange the order of the loops.  I don't know how much more descriptive I can get in explaining this.

I read through a little of the sonify.org tutorial.  Though I didn't read it thoroughly just yet, I will say that I'm not wanting to do anything that's going to hard code the loops I have to choose from.  I'm going to need to be able to incorporate new loops into the app as time permits for the expansion of this project.  I know that's a totally new subject, so I'll leave it at trying to figure this one out first.

knetyk,


you need to close this question out...

please come back and comment or award the points...
